In this document, a Petition for Reconsideration (Petition) has been filed in the Commission's Rulemaking proceeding listed below by Kona Coast Radio, LLC (``Kona Coast''), seeking reconsideration of actions taken in a Report and Order in Kahuku and Kualapuu, Hawaii. In the Report and Order, the Media Bureau (the Bureau) allotted FM Channel 296C2 at Kualapuu, Hawaii, and granted the proposal of Big D Consulting, Inc. (``Big D'') to upgrade the facilities of FM Station KNAN, Nanakuli, Hawaii, from Channel 294C3 to Channel 294C2. The Bureau also dismissed Kona Coast's proposal for the allotment of FM Channel 296C3 at Kahuku, Hawaii. Kona Coast argues that the Bureau erred in giving priority to Big D's proposal, which was filed before Kona Coast's petition for rule making reached the Office of the Secretary. Kona Coast asserts that the public was given actual notice of the proposal as of the filing date of the Form 301 for Channel 296C3 at Kahuku, Hawaii. Kona Coast also argues that its alternative proposal would result in a preferential use of spectrum.

We are eliminating the Decision Review Board (DRB) portions of part 405 of our rules, which we currently use as the final step in our administrative review process for adjudicating initial disability claims in our Boston region. As of the effective date of this regulation, we will replace the DRB step with review by the Appeals Council. The Appeals Council will follow most of the rules in parts 404 and 416 that we use in the rest of the country to adjudicate disability claims at the Appeals Council level, with some differences needed to accommodate the rules that govern administrative law judge (ALJ) hearings in the Boston region. We will also authorize attorney advisors in the Boston region to conduct certain prehearing proceedings and make fully favorable decisions as they do in the rest of the country. We are making these changes to improve service to claimants and to increase consistency in our program rules.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is adopting a rule amendment revising a certain provision of the agency's rule for investigations and related proceedings under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The Supplement to the Strategic Human Capital Plan 2009- 2013 issued by the Commission on January 18, 2011, provides that the Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') will not participate in a subset of Section 337 cases and will participate selectively in another subset of cases. In order to better allocate its resources, OUII may have to assign attorneys to investigations on an issue by issue basis. The rule amendment will allow OUII the flexibility to reassign attorneys to cases as necessary without having to publish notices announcing the change in the Federal Register. The new rule will have no substantive effect on Commission practice in conducting Section 337 investigations.
