FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 73 

[DA 11–488] 

Update Station License Expiration 

Dates 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document the Federal 

Communications Commission updates 

its rules to reflect the current license 

expiration dates for radio and television 

broadcast stations. The current version 

of the rule specifies license expiration 

dates from 2011 through 2014 for radio 

stations and 2012 through 2015 for 

television stations; these expiration 

dates are long out of date. Modifying the 

rule will enable broadcast station 

licensees to quickly peruse the rule to 

determine when their stations’ licenses 

will expire. It will also accurately reflect 

the expiration dates listed both in the 

Commission’s data base and on the 

broadcast stations’ most recent license 

or renewal authorization. 

DATES: Effective April 12, 2011.

Michael Wagner 202–418–2775. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Communications Commission 

considers this rule to be a procedural 

rule change which is exempt from 

notice-and-comment under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(A). 

This rule is not a significant rule for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866 and 

has not been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget. As required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

certifies that these regulatory 

amendments will not have a significant 

impact on small business entities. 

The Commission will not send a copy 

of this item pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1)(A), because the changes made 

involve only the year in which 

broadcast station licenses expire. There 

are no substantive or procedural 

changes to any rule. 

This document does not contain 

proposed information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13. In addition, therefore, it does not 

contain any proposed information 

collection burden ‘‘for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees,’’ pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department published a proposed rule, 

Public Notice 5992 at 72 FR 64980, 

November 19, 2007, with a request for 

comments. The rule was proposed to 

implement the contractor personal 

identification requirements of 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive 12 (HSPD–12), and Federal 

Information Processing Standards 

Publication (FIPS PUB) Number 201, 

Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of 

Federal Employees and Contractors. 

(See 71 FR 208, January 3, 2006). As 

specified in the proposed rule, the 

DOSAR clause directs contractors to an 

Internet Web site document that 

outlines the personal identity 

verification procedures for various types 

of contractors (cleared and uncleared), 

location of performance (domestic and 

overseas facilities), and the access 

requirements (physical and/or logical). 

The rule was discussed in detail in 

Public Notice 5992. No public 

comments were received. The 

Department is now promulgating a final 

rule with no changes from the proposed 

rule. 

Regulatory Findings 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Department of State does not 

consider this rule to be a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866, section 3(f), Regulatory 

Planning and Review. In addition, the 

Department is exempt from Executive 

Order 12866 except to the extent that it 

is promulgating regulations in 

conjunction with a domestic agency that 

are significant regulatory actions. The 

Department has nevertheless reviewed 

the regulation to ensure its consistency 

with the regulatory philosophy and 

principles set forth in that Executive 

Order. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Department of State, in 

accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has 

reviewed this regulation and, by 

approving it, certifies that this rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 

This rule will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any year and it will not significantly 

or uniquely affect small governments. 

Therefore, no actions were deemed 

necessary under the provisions of the 

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This rule is not a major rule as 

defined by section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of 

1996. This rule will not result in an 

annual effect on the economy of $100 

million or more; a major increase in 

costs or prices; or significant adverse 

effects on competition, employment, 

investment, productivity, innovation, or 

on the ability of United States-based 

companies to compete with foreign 

based companies in domestic and 

import markets. 

Executive Order 13563 and Executive 

Order 12866 

The Department of State does not 

consider this rule to be a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866, section 3(f), Regulatory 

Planning and Review, as amended by 

Executive Order 13563. In addition, the 

Department is exempt from Executive 

Order 12866 except to the extent that it 

is promulgating regulations in 

conjunction with a domestic agency that 

are significant regulatory actions. The 

Department has nevertheless reviewed 

the regulation to ensure its consistency 

with the regulatory philosophy and 

principles set forth in that Executive 

Order. 

Executive Order 13132 

This rule will not have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 6 of Executive 

Order 13132, it is determined that this 

rule does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to require consultations or 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Information collection requirements 

have been approved under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 by 

OMB, and have been assigned OMB

[Docket No. NHTSA–2011–0026] 

RIN 2127–AK91 

Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention 

Standard; Final Listing of 2012 Light 

Duty Truck Lines Subject to the 

Requirements of This Standard and 

Exempted Vehicle Lines for Model Year 

2012 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule announces 

NHTSA’s determination that there are 

no new model year (MY) 2012 light duty 

truck lines subject to the parts-marking 

requirements of the Federal motor 

vehicle theft prevention standard 

because they have been determined by 

the agency to be high-theft or because 

they have a majority of interchangeable 

parts with those of a passenger motor 

vehicle line. This final rule also 

identifies those vehicle lines that have 

been granted an exemption from the 

parts-marking requirements because the 

vehicles are equipped with antitheft 

devices determined to meet certain 

statutory criteria. 

DATES: Effective Date: The amendment 

made by this final rule is effective April 

12, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Rosalind Proctor, Consumer Standards 

Division, Office of International Policy, 

Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, 

NHTSA, West Building, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue, SE., (NVS–131, Room 

W43–302) Washington, DC 20590. Ms. 

Proctor’s telephone number is (202) 

366–4931. Her fax number is (202) 493– 

0073. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The theft 

prevention standard applies to (1) all 

passenger car lines; (2) all multipurpose 

passenger vehicle (MPV) lines with a 

gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 

6,000 pounds or less; (3) low-theft lightduty truck (LDT) lines with a GVWR of 

6,000 pounds or less that have major 

parts that are interchangeable with a 

majority of the covered major parts of 

passenger car or MPV lines; and (4) 

high-theft light-duty truck lines with a 

GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less. 

The purpose of the theft prevention 

standard (49 CFR part 541) is to reduce 

the incidence of motor vehicle theft by 

facilitating the tracing and recovery of 

parts from stolen vehicles. The standard 

seeks to facilitate such tracing by 

requiring that vehicle identification 

numbers (VINs), VIN derivative 

numbers, or other symbols be placed on 

major component vehicle parts. The 

theft prevention standard requires motor 

vehicle manufacturers to inscribe or 

affix VINs onto covered original 

equipment major component parts, and 

to inscribe or affix a symbol identifying 

the manufacturer and a common symbol 

identifying the replacement component 

parts for those original equipment parts, 

on all vehicle lines subject to the 

requirements of the standard. 

Section 33104(d) provides that once a 

line has become subject to the theft 

prevention standard, the line remains 

subject to the requirements of the 

standard unless it is exempted under 

§ 33106. Section 33106 provides that a 

manufacturer may petition annually to 

have one vehicle line exempted from 

the requirements of § 33104, if the line 

is equipped with an antitheft device 

meeting certain conditions as standard 

equipment. The exemption is granted if 

NHTSA determines that the antitheft 

device is likely to be as effective as 

compliance with the theft prevention 

standard in reducing and deterring 

motor vehicle thefts. 

The agency annually publishes the 

names of those LDT lines that have been 

determined to be high theft pursuant to 

49 CFR part 541, those LDT lines that 

have been determined to have major 

parts that are interchangeable with a 

majority of the covered major parts of 

passenger car or MPV lines and those 

vehicle lines that are exempted from the 

theft prevention standard under section 

33104. Appendix A to Part 541 

identifies those LDT lines that are or 

will be subject to the theft prevention 

standard beginning in a given model 

year. Appendix A–I to Part 541 

identifies those vehicle lines that are or 

have been exempted from the theft 

prevention standard. 

For MY 2012, there are no new LDT 

lines that will be subject to the theft 

prevention standard in accordance with 

the procedures published in 49 CFR part 

542. Therefore, Appendix A does not 

need to be amended. 

For MY 2012, the list of lines that 

have been exempted by the agency from 

the parts-marking requirements of Part 

541 is amended to include nine vehicle 

lines newly exempted in full. The nine 

exempted vehicle lines are the BMW 

Carline X1, Chrysler Fiat 500, Ford 

Fusion, Chevrolet Sonic, Range Rover 

Evoque, Outlander Sport, Suzuki 

Kizashi, Toyota Corolla and the VW 

Audi A8.
