V. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing to approve and
incorporate into South Carolina’s SIP
the aforementioned changes to South
Carolina Regulation 61–62.1, Section I—
Definitions, state effective on April 24,
2020. EPA has determined that these
revisions meet the applicable
requirements of Section 110 of the CAA
and the applicable regulatory
requirements at 40 CFR part 51.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. This proposed action merely
proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:17 Aug 03, 2021
Jkt 253001
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this proposed rule for
South Carolina does not have Tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), because it does not have
substantial direct effects on an Indian
Tribe. The Catawba Indian Nation
Reservation is located within the state of
South Carolina. Pursuant to the Catawba
Indian Claims Settlement Act, S.C. Code
Ann. 27–16–120, ‘‘all state and local
environmental laws and regulations
apply to the [Catawba Indian Nation]
and Reservation and are fully
enforceable by all relevant state and
local agencies and authorities.’’ EPA
notes this action will not impose
substantial direct costs on Tribal
governments or preempt Tribal law.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by KVVU
Broadcasting Corporation (Petitioner),
the licensee of KVVU (FOX), channel 9,
Henderson, Nevada. The Petitioner
requests the substitution of channel 24
for channel 9 in the DTV Table of
Allotments.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the
FCC, interested parties should serve
counsel for the Petitioner as follows:
Christina Burrow, Esq., Cooley LLP,

700, Washington, DC 20004.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1647; or Joyce Bernstein, Media
Bureau, at Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support
of its channel substitution request, the
Petitioner states that the Commission
has recognized that VHF channels have
certain characteristics that pose
challenges for their use in providing
digital television service, including
propagation characteristics that allow
undesired signals and noise to be
receivable at relatively far distances and
nearby electrical devices to cause
interference. According to the
Petitioner, it has received numerous
complaints of poor or no reception from
viewers, and explains the importance of
a strong over-the-air signal in the Las
Vegas area during emergencies, when, it
states, cable and satellite service may go
out of operation. It also explained that
improving KVVU’s signal would serve
the public interest because more than 25
percent of viewers in the Las Vegas area
receive television broadcast signals
over-the-air. Finally, the Petitioner
recognized that the channel 24 noise
limited contour would not fully
encompass the existing channel 9
contour, but stated that only 152
persons in the lost coverage area would
lose service from KVVU–TV, a number
the Commission considers de minimis,
and no viewers would lose access to
their first or second over-the-air
television service. The Petitioner also
performed an analysis using the
Commission’s TVStudy software, which
indicated that Petitioner’s proposal
would result in no more than 0.5
percent new interference to any
surrounding co-channel or adjacentchannel facility.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–921;
RM–11891; DA 21–921, adopted July 27,
2021, and released July 28, 2021. The

This document does not contain

therefore, it does not contain any

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants; Threatened Species Status
With Section 4(d) Rule for Emperor
Penguin
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), propose to
list the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes
forsteri), a flightless bird species from
Antarctica, as a threatened species
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (Act). This proposal
also serves as our 12-month finding on
a petition to list the emperor penguin.
After a review of the best available
scientific and commercial information,
we find that listing the species is
warranted. Accordingly, we propose to
list the emperor penguin as a threatened
species with a rule issued under section
4(d) of the Act (‘‘4(d) rule’’). If we
finalize this rule as proposed, it would
add this species to the List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and extend the Act’s protections to the
species.
DATES: We will accept comments
received or postmarked on or before
October 4, 2021. Comments submitted
electronically using the Federal
eRulemaking Portal (see ADDRESSES,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Summary
Why we need to publish a rule. Under
the Act, if we determine that a species
is an endangered or threatened species
throughout all or a significant portion of
its range, we are required to promptly
publish a proposal in the Federal
Register. We will make a determination
on our proposal within 1 year, unless
we determine that there is substantial
disagreement regarding the sufficiency
and accuracy of the available data
relevant to the proposed listing, in
which case we may extend the final
determination for not more than 6
months. Listing a species as an
endangered or threatened species can
only be completed by issuing a rule.
What this document does. We
propose to list the emperor penguin as
a threatened species with a 4(d) rule
under the Act.

Act, we may determine that a species is
