In this Seventh Report and Order, the Commission adopted a proposal to collect more granular data on public safety deployments in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission also decided to continue using the Universal Licensing System (ULS) as the licensing database for public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission directed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (collectively the Bureaus) to make any necessary enhancements to ULS and obtain any necessary review under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and announce by a notice when ULS is prepared to accept the granular data specified in § 90.1207(e) and (f) on public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission also directed the Bureaus to announce the compliance date for § 90.1207(e) and (f) by a subsequent notice and to cause § 90.1207(g) to be revised accordingly. ULS will be prepared to accept the granular data on December 9, 2024. Therefore, consistent with instructions from the Seventh Report and Order, this document revises § 90.1207 by adding compliance dates to paragraph (g) which states that compliance with paragraphs (e) and (f) is not required until paragraph (g) is updated. The Commission publishes this document as a compliance date of the rule.

DATES: Effective December 6, 2024, through December 31, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Rigdon, Fishery Management 
Specialist, (978) 281-9336.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulations governing the Atlantic bluefish 
fishery are found in 50 CFR 648.160 through 648.167. These regulations 
require annual specification of a commercial quota that is apportioned 
among the coastal states from Maine through Florida. The process to set 
the annual commercial quota and the percent allocated to each state is 
described in Sec.  648.162, and the final 2024 allocations were 
published on January 2, 2024 (89 FR 34).
    The final rule implementing amendment 1 to the FMP, as published in 
the Federal Register on July 26, 2000 (65 FR 45844), provided a 
mechanism for transferring bluefish commercial quota from one state to 
another. Two or more states, under mutual agreement and with the 
concurrence of the NMFS Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator, can 
request approval to transfer or combine bluefish commercial quota under 
Sec.  648.162(e). The Regional Administrator is required to consider 
three criteria in the evaluation of requests for quota transfers or 
combinations: (1) the transfers would not preclude the overall annual 
quota from being fully harvested; (2) the transfers address an 
unforeseen variation or contingency in the fishery; and (3) the 
transfers are consistent with the objectives of the FMP and the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act). The Regional Administrator has determined these criteria 
have been met for the transfers approved in this notification.
    New York is transferring 50,000 pounds (lb) (22,680 kilograms (kg)) 
to North Carolina through mutual agreement of the States. This transfer 
was requested to ensure North Carolina would not exceed its 2024 State 
quota. The revised bluefish quotas for 2024 are: New York, 339,190 lb 
(153,854 kg) and North Carolina, 1,130,996 lb (513,011 kg).
