Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of
compliance date.
AGENCY:
In this document, the
Commission announces that the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved information collections for the
requirement that covered 911 service
providers notify the Commission no
later 60 days after they completely cease
operations. This information collection
requirement was adopted in the 2022
Second Report and Order, to assist the
Commission in conserving resources, in
that the Commission will not need to
expend time investigating why a
provider has failed to file its annual 911
reliability certification in a timely
manner, when the reason is simply
because the provider is no longer a
provider. These rule changes resulted in
modified information collection
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) that required OMB
approval. The Commission also
announces that compliance with the
rules is now required. This document is
consistent with the 2022 Second Report
and Order, which states the Commission
will publish a document in the Federal
Register announcing a compliance date
for the rule section and revise the rule
accordingly.
DATES: Compliance date: Compliance
with 47 CFR 9.19(d)(4), published at 88
FR 9765, on February 15, 2023, is
required as of July 5, 2024.

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received final OMB approval on
November 15, 2023, for the information
collection requirements contained in
§ 9.19(d)(4).
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number.
The foregoing notification is required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, Public Law 104–13, October 1,
1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1202.
OMB Approval Date: November 15,
2023.
OMB Expiration Date: November 30,

Needs and Uses: In 2022, the
Commission adopted a new rule
requiring covered 911 service providers
to file notice with the Commission
when they cease operating as a covered
911 service provider. The Commission
adopted this measure to ensure that its
staff does not expend time and
resources to investigate why a covered
911 service provider failed to file its
annual 911 reliability certification in a
timely manner, when the reason is
simply because the provider ceased
operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 16, 2023, the Commission
adopted the Safe Connections Act
Report and Order (88 FR 84406
(December 5, 2023), 88 FR 88261
(December 21, 2023) (announcing a final
rule correction)) to implement the Safe
Connections Act of 2022, Public Law
117–223, 116 Stat. 2280 (Safe
Connections Act or SCA). In that
rulemaking, the Commission adopted
rules to codify and implement the line
separation provisions in the SCA. The
Commission required covered providers
to comply with the rules implementing
the SCA’s line separation provisions
within six months after the effective
date of the Order, or after review of the
rules by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) is completed, whichever
is later.
On May 3, 2024, OMB completed its
review of the Commission’s rules
implementing the line separation
provisions of the SCA. Accordingly,
compliance with the line separation
requirements adopted by the
Commission in the Safe Connections
Act Report and Order, 47 CFR 64.6400
through 64.6407, and the conforming
requirement in 47 CFR 64.2010(f)(2), is
required by July 15, 2024.
The Commission publishes this
document as an announcement of the
compliance dates of amendments to 47
CFR 64.6400 through 64.6407 and
64.2010(f)(2) and to modify the text of
these rules previously published at 88
FR 84406 (December 5, 2023) and 88 FR

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received final OMB approval on May 3,
2024, for the information collection
requirements contained in the
modifications to the Commission’s rules
in 47 CFR part 64, subpart II (47 CFR
64.6401 through 64.6403, 64.6406). The
Wireline Competition Bureau also
determined that 47 CFR 64.6404,
64.6405, and 64.6407 did not contain
information collection requirements.
These actions allow the Wireline
Competition Bureau to set the
compliance dates for these rules and for
the conforming change to 47 CFR
64.2010(f)(2). It is therefore modifying
the language of 47 CFR 64.6400 through
64.6407 and 64.2010(f)(2) and (i) to
incorporate compliance dates and
eliminate text referring to pending
approval by OMB.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
current, valid OMB Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number is
3060–1325.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13) October 1, 1995, and 44
U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens

Needs and Uses: The Safe

the Commission to implement rules
pursuant to section 4 of the SCA, which
requires that covered providers separate
the mobile phone telephone lines of
domestic violence survivors (and of
those persons in their care) from a
shared mobile service contract with an
abuser within two business days of a
request. To implement the line
separation process, the Commission
establishes this collection, which
requires covered providers to notify
consumers about the availability of the
line separation process and requires
survivors to submit certain information
to covered providers to request a line
separation.

Commercial Closure for Snowy
Grouper in the South Atlantic
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements an
accountability measure (AM) for the
commercial harvest of snowy grouper in
South Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS
projects commercial landings of snowy
grouper will reach the commercial quota
for the January through June season.
Therefore, NMFS closes Federal waters
in the South Atlantic for the commercial
harvest of snowy grouper until the July
through December season begins. This
closure is necessary to protect the
snowy grouper resource.
DATES: This temporary rule is effective
from June 4, 2024, through June 30,
2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
snapper-grouper fishery of the South
Atlantic includes snowy grouper and is
managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic
Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared
by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council and NMFS, and is
implemented by NMFS under the
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622. All
weights described in this temporary rule
are in gutted weight.
The commercial annual catch limit
(ACL) for snowy grouper in 2024 is
106,174 pounds (lb) or 48,160 kilograms
(kg). The commercial ACL is divided
into two commercial quotas, one quota
for each 6-month fishing season.
Seventy percent of the commercial
quota is allocated for the January
through June commercial fishing season
and is 74,322 lb (33,712 kg) for 2024.
The remaining 30 percent of the
commercial ACL and commercial quota
for the July through December fishing
season is 31,852 lb (14,448 kg) for 2024.
50 CFR 622.190(a)(1)(i)(B) and (ii)(B).
Any commercial quota remaining from
the first season is added to the
commercial quota in second season, but
any commercial quota remaining from
the second season is not carried forward
into the next fishing year.
Under 50 CFR 622.193(b)(1), NMFS is
required to close the commercial sector
for snowy grouper when the commercial
quota specified in 50 CFR 622.190(a)(1)
is reached or is projected to be reached,
by filing a notification to that effect with
the Office of the Federal Register. NMFS
projects that commercial landings of
snowy grouper will reach the
commercial quota for January through
June 2024 by June 4, 2024. Accordingly,
the commercial sector for South Atlantic
snowy grouper is closed starting on June
4, 2024, and remains closed until the
start of the next commercial fishing
season on July 1, 2024.
The operator of a vessel with a valid
commercial vessel permit for South
Atlantic snapper-grouper having snowy
grouper on board must have landed and
bartered, traded, or sold such snowy
grouper before June 4, 2024. During the
commercial closure, harvest and
possession of snowy grouper in or from
South Atlantic Federal waters is limited
to the bag and possession limits, as
specified in § 622.187(b)(2)(ii) and
(c)(1). Also during the commercial
closure, the sale or purchase of snowy
grouper taken from South Atlantic
Federal waters is prohibited. The
prohibition on sale or purchase does not
apply to the sale or purchase of snowy
grouper that were harvested, landed
ashore, and sold before June 4, 2024,
and were held in cold storage by a
dealer or processor.

For a person on a vessel issued a valid
Federal commercial or charter vessel/
headboat permit for South Atlantic
snapper-grouper, the bag and possession
limits and the sale and purchase
provisions during the commercial
closure for snowy grouper apply
regardless of whether the fish are
harvested in state or Federal waters, as
specified in 50 CFR 622.190(c)(1)(ii).
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
622.193(b)(1), which was issued
pursuant to section 304(b) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, and is exempt
from review under Executive Order
12866.
These measures are exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the temporary rule is issued
without opportunity for prior notice and
comment.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), there
is good cause to waive prior notice and
an opportunity for public comment as
such procedures are unnecessary and
contrary to the public interest. Such
procedures are unnecessary because the
regulations associated with the
commercial quota for South Atlantic
snowy grouper have already been
subject to notice and comment, and all
that remains is to notify the public of
the commercial closure for the
remainder of the January through June
fishing season this year. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment on this
action is contrary to the public interest
because of the need to immediately
implement the commercial closure to
protect South Atlantic snowy grouper,
because the capacity of the fishing fleet
allows for rapid harvest of the
commercial quota. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment would
require time and would potentially
result in a harvest that exceeds the
commercial quota.
For the reasons just stated, there is
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to
waive the 30-day delay in the effective
date of this action.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 16, 2023, the Commission adopted
the Safe Connections Act Report and Order (88 FR 84406 (December 5,
2023), 88 FR 88261 (December 21, 2023) (announcing a final rule
correction)) to implement the Safe Connections Act of 2022, Public Law
117-223, 116 Stat. 2280 (Safe Connections Act or SCA). In that
rulemaking, the Commission adopted rules to codify and implement the
line separation provisions in the SCA. The Commission required covered
providers to comply with the rules implementing the SCA's line
separation provisions within six months after the effective date of the
Order, or after review of the rules by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) is completed, whichever is later.
On May 3, 2024, OMB completed its review of the Commission's rules
implementing the line separation provisions of the SCA. Accordingly,
compliance with the line separation requirements adopted by the
Commission in the Safe Connections Act Report and Order, 47 CFR 64.6400
through 64.6407, and the conforming requirement in 47 CFR
64.2010(f)(2), is required by July 15, 2024.
The Commission publishes this document as an announcement of the
compliance dates of amendments to 47 CFR 64.6400 through 64.6407 and
64.2010(f)(2) and to modify the text of these rules previously
published at 88 FR 84406 (December 5, 2023) and 88 FR 88261 (December
21, 2023) (announcing a final rule correction), to incorporate this
date and eliminate text referring to pending approval of information
collection requirements by OMB.
If you have any comments on the burden estimates listed below, or
how the Commission can improve the collections and reduce any burdens
caused thereby, please contact Nicole Ongele, Federal Communications
Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. Please include the
OMB Control Number, 3060-1325, in your correspondence. The Commission
will also accept your comments via email at [email protected].

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received final OMB
approval on May 3, 2024, for the information collection requirements
contained in the modifications to the Commission's rules in 47 CFR part
64, subpart II (47 CFR 64.6401 through 64.6403, 64.6406). The Wireline
Competition Bureau also determined that 47 CFR 64.6404, 64.6405, and
64.6407 did not contain information collection requirements. These
actions allow the Wireline Competition Bureau to set the compliance
dates for these rules and for the conforming change to 47 CFR
64.2010(f)(2). It is therefore modifying the language of 47 CFR 64.6400
through 64.6407 and 64.2010(f)(2) and (i) to incorporate compliance
dates and eliminate text referring to pending approval by OMB.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply
with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number is 3060-1325.
The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents
are as follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1325.
OMB Approval Date: May 3, 2024.
OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2027.
Title: Safe Connections Act--Supporting Survivors of Domestic and
Sexual Violence.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities and individuals
or households.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,650,000 respondents;
1,650,000 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour-240 hours (on average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third
party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for these collections is contained in 47 U.S.C.
345.
Total Annual Burden: 3,527,500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: The Safe Connections Act of 2022 (SCA) obligates
the Commission to implement rules pursuant to section 4 of the SCA,
which requires that covered providers separate the mobile phone
telephone lines of domestic violence survivors (and of those persons in
their care) from a shared mobile service contract with an abuser within
two business days of a request. To implement the line separation
process, the Commission establishes this collection, which requires
covered providers to notify consumers about the availability of the
line separation process and requires survivors to submit certain
information to covered providers to request a line separation.
