Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 148 / Thursday, August 3, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
K. Steps Taken To Minimize the
Significant Economic Impact on Small
Entities and Significant Alternatives
Considered
8. The RFA requires an agency to
provide, ‘‘a description of the steps the
agency has taken to minimize the
significant economic impact on small
entities . . . including a statement of
the factual, policy, and legal reasons for
selecting the alternative adopted in the
final rule and why each one of the other
significant alternatives to the rule
considered by the agency that affect the
impact on small entities was rejected.’’
9. The 2023 Mandatory Data
Collection is a one-time collection and
does not impose a recurring obligation
on providers. Because the Commission’s
2023 IPCS Order requires all IPCS
providers to comply with the 2023
Mandatory Data Collection, the
collection will affect smaller as well as
larger IPCS providers. WCB and OEA
have taken steps to ensure that the data
collection template is competitively
neutral and not unduly burdensome for
any set of providers and have
considered the economic impact on
small entities in finalizing the
instructions and the template for the
2023 Mandatory Data Collection. For
example, the 2023 Mandatory Data
Collection requires the collection of data
for a single calendar year instead of
three calendar years, as in previous data
collection. In response to the comments,
WCB and OEA have refined certain
aspects of the data collection, including
modifying the treatment of audio IPCS
and safety and security measures,
clarifying the reporting of costs related
to site commissions, and revising
certain proposed definitions. WCB and
OEA have also revised instructions for
cost reporting and cost allocation that
will help the Commission understand
the nature of the reported costs, without
imposing significant additional burdens
on providers. WCB and OEA
reorganized instructions for our
proposed seven-category framework for
reporting safety and security measure
costs to simply them and increase
clarity. Further, the instructions for the
data collection include relevant
diagrams to facilitate providers’
responses and improve the accuracy and
consistency of the data they report. The
instructions allow, but do not require,
providers to subdivide their audio and
video IPCS costs into more discrete
categories based on the type of audio or
video service being provided, as some
parties suggest, to give providers greater
flexibility in reporting these costs.
10. WCB and OEA considered but
rejected alternative proposals to allow

Jkt 259001
providers to use their own allocation
methodologies because of the undue
burden it would have on the interested
parties and the Commission to analyze
and correct inconsistent responses. The
modifications adopted in the Order
avoid unduly burdening small and other
responding providers while ensuring
that providers have sufficiently detailed
and specific instructions to respond to
the data collection. The data collection
also makes certain questions optional to
reduce reporting burdens, including the
questions regarding correctional facilityspecific total admissions, total releases,
and weekly turnover rates.
L. Report to Congress
11. The Commission will send a copy
of the Order, including this
Supplemental FRFA, in a report to be
sent to Congress pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act. In addition,
the Commission will send a copy of the
Order, including this Supplemental
FRFA, to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration. A copy of the Order,
and Supplemental FRFA (or summaries
thereof) will also be published in the
Federal Register.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this document, the Federal
Communications Commission’s Media
Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) in response to a petition for
rulemaking filed by Reno Licensee, LLC
(Petitioner), the licensee of KENV–TV
(Station or KENV–TV), channel 10,
Elko, Nevada, requesting the
substitution of channel 20 for channel
10 at Elko in the Table of TV

Allotments. For the reasons set forth in
the Report and Order referenced below,
the Bureau amends FCC regulations to
substitute channel 20 for channel 10 at
Elko.
DATES: Effective August 3, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rule was published at 88 FR
16250 on March 16, 2023. The
Petitioner filed comments in support of
the petition reaffirming its commitment
to apply for channel 20. No other
comments were filed.
The Bureau believes the public
interest would be served by substituting
channel 20 for channel 10 at Elko,
Nevada. The Commission has
recognized that VHF poses challenges
for stations providing digital television
service on those channels due to
propagation characteristics that allow
undesired signals and noise to be
receivable at relatively far distances and
result in large variability in the
performance of indoor antennas
available to viewers, with most antennas
performing very poorly on high VHF
channels. According to the Petitioner,
the Station ‘‘has received numerous
complaints from local viewers who can
receive signals from other local stations
but are unable to receive the Station’s
over-the-air signal on Channel 10.’’
Thus, the Petitioner asserts that its
channel substitution proposal will serve
the public by resolving the over-the-air
reception problems and enhancing
viewer reception in the Station’s service
area. An analysis conducted using the
Commission’s TVStudy software tool
indicates that no persons within the
Station’s current noise limited contour
will lose service and an additional 1,367
persons are predicted to gain service
from the Station.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Report and Order, MB
Docket No. 23–78; RM–11946; DA 23–

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
*
The annual management measures for
the 2023 and early 2024 ocean salmon
fisheries (88 FR 30235, May 11, 2023)
govern the commercial and recreational
fisheries in the area from the U.S./
Canada border to the U.S./Mexico
border, effective from 0001 hours Pacific
Daylight Time (PDT), May 16, 2023,
until the effective date of the 2024
management measures, as published in
the Federal Register. NMFS is
authorized to implement inseason
management actions to modify fishing
seasons and quotas as necessary to
provide fishing opportunity while
meeting management objectives for the
affected species (50 CFR 660.409).
Inseason actions in the salmon fishery
may be taken directly by NMFS (50 CFR
660.409(a)—Fixed inseason
management provisions) or upon
consultation with the Chairman of the
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council), and the appropriate State
Directors (50 CFR 660.409(b)—Flexible
inseason management provisions).
Management of the salmon fisheries is
divided into two geographic areas: north
of Cape Falcon (NOF) (U.S./Canada
border to Cape Falcon, OR), and south
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
of Cape Falcon (SOF) (Cape Falcon, OR,
to the U.S./Mexico border). The actions
described in this document affect the
NOF and SOF commercial salmon troll
fisheries, as set out under the heading
‘‘Inseason Actions’’ below.
Consultation with the Council
Chairperson on these inseason actions
occurred on June 21, 2023, June 24,
2023, June 30, 2023, July 6, 2023, and
July 11, 2023. These consultations
included representatives from NMFS,
Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife, Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife, and California Department
of Fish and Wildlife. Representatives
from the Salmon Advisory Subpanel
and Salmon Technical Team were also
present. A Council representative was
present on June 21, 2023, June 24, 2023,
and July 6, 2023.
These inseason actions were
announced on NMFS’ telephone hotline
and U.S. Coast Guard radio broadcast on
the date of the consultations (50 CFR
660.411(a)(2)).
Inseason Actions
Inseason Action #11
Description of the action: Inseason
action #11 modifies the NOF ocean
salmon troll commercial fishery. The
area between the U.S./Canada border
and Cape Falcon is closed.
Effective dates: Inseason action #11
took effect on June 21, 2023, at 11:59
p.m. and remains in effect until June 30,
2023, at 11:59 p.m.
Reason and authorization for the
action: Inseason action #11 was
necessary to avoid exceeding the area of
NOF quota for Chinook salmon. The
NMFS West Coast Regional
Administrator (RA) considered the 2023
abundance forecasts for Chinook salmon
stocks, the timing of the action relative
to the length of the season, and
determined that this inseason action is
necessary to meet management and
conservations goals for the 2023–2024
management measures. This inseason
action modified quotas and/or fishing
seasons under 50 CFR 660.409(b)(1)(i).
Inseason Action #12
Description of the action: Inseason
action #12 modifies the NOF ocean
salmon troll commercial fishery in the
area between the U.S./Canada border
and Cape Falcon. The landing and
possession limit is 11 Chinook salmon
per vessel for the period June 24, 2023,
through June 29, 2023.
Effective dates: Inseason action #12
took effect on June 24, 2023, at 12:01
a.m., and remains in effect until June 29,
2023, at 11:59 p.m.
Reason and authorization for the
action: The total Chinook salmon
