Agencies and Commissions April 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Audio Division, at the request of Katherine Pyeatt, dismisses the petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 241A at Eldorado, Texas (RM-10479). We also deny the counterproposal filed by BK Radio proposing the substitution of Channel 239C2 for Channel 240C2 at Mason, the reallotment of Channel 240C2 from Mason to Mertzon, and the modification of Station KOTY(FM)'s license accordingly (RM-10770). We find that the counterproposal does not constitute a preferential arrangement of allotments because the reallotment of Channel 240C2 to Mertzon as a third local FM transmission service would create a gray area.

In the Federal Register of January 25, 2006, 71 FR 4118, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or Commission published a notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of approval of collections of information in the flammability standards for children's sleepwear and implementing regulations. Two comments were received in response to that notice. One comment supported the proposed extension of information collection for children's sleepwear. One comment stated that over-the-counter samples should be tested and that the collection of information should be computerized and violations reported. Currently, the standard is enforced through the inspection of establishments manufacturing sleepwear, through retail surveillance and by follow-up to consumer and trade complaints. During these inspections, randomly selected samples are tested and samples required to be maintained by the standard, as well as record keeping that is required by the standard, are examined. Information regarding violations of the standard are available on the recall section of the CPSC Web site at https://www.cpsc.gov. Accordingly, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of the collections of information for three years from the date of approval. The standards and regulations are codified as the Flammability Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X, 16 CFR Part 1615; and the Flammability Standard for Children's Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 14, 16 CFR part 1616. The flammability standards and implementing regulations prescribe requirements for testing and recordkeeping by manufacturers and importers of children's sleepwear subject to the standards. The information in the records required by the regulations allows the Commission to determine if items of children's sleepwear comply with the applicable standard. This information also enables the Commission to obtain corrective actions if items of children's sleepwear fail to comply with the applicable standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

This notice proposes two new systems of records, amends three existing systems of records to include a new system manager, amends one existing system to add two new routine uses and amends Appendix A to reflect current office names and addresses.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected costs and burden; it includes the actual data collection instruments [if any].

As required by the Truth in Savings Act, NCUA is finalizing its rule and official staff interpretation to address the uniformity and adequacy of information provided to members when they overdraw their share accounts. The amendments address services referred to as ``bounced-check protection'' or ``courtesy overdraft protection'' that credit unions may use to pay members'' checks and allow other overdrafts when there are insufficient funds in the account.

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, this Report and Order allots Channel 261A to Meyersville, Texas, as a first competitive local aural transmission service. The coordinates for Channel 261A at Meyersville, Texas are 28-54-58 NL and 97-19-37 WL, with a site restriction of 2.0 kilometers (1.2 miles) southwest of Meyersville, Texas. Further, this Report and Order reclassifies Station KCYY(FM), San Antonio, Texas, from Channel 262C to Channel 262C0, in order to accommodate the allotment of Channel 261A to Meyersville. The Report and Order also denies a counterproposal filed by LaGrange Broadcasting Corporation requesting that Channel 261A be substituted for Channel 260A, Station KTXM(FM), Hallettsville, Texas, and reallotted to Yoakum, Texas, as a second local aural transmission service.

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, this Report and Order grants the Petition for Rule Making filed by Black Entrepreneur Association, Inc. (``BEA''), and allots Channel 229C3 to Wickenburg, Arizona. The reference coordinates for Channel 229C3 at Wickenburg are 33-53-49 NL and 112-54-45 WL, with a site restriction of 18.7 kilometers (11.6 miles) southwest of Wickenburg. The Report and Order also dismisses the mutually exclusive Petition for Rule Making filed by Entravision Holdings, L.L.C. (``Entravision''). Entravision had proposed to upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA-FM, Apache Junction, Arizona to Channel 296C1 and to reallot Channel 296C1 from Apache Junction to Peoria, Arizona; substitute Channel 229C3 for vacant Channel 297C3 at Aguila, Arizona; upgrade Channel 295A, Station KDVA(FM), Buckeye, Arizona, to Channel 295C3, and reallot Channel 295C3 to Wenden, Arizona; and to reallot Channel 278C, Station KLNZ(FM), from Glendale to Buckeye, Arizona. Entravision's Petition for Rule Making was dismissed because its proposal to upgrade Channel 296C3, Station KVVA-FM, to Channel 296C1 and reallot Channel 296C1 to Apache Junction was mutually exclusive with a protected FM application.

The Commission hereby gives notice that it will proceed with full reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)) to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty orders on silicon metal from Brazil and China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. A schedule for the reviews will be established and announced at a later date. For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207).
