Television Broadcasting Services 

Corpus Christi, Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it 

a petition for rulemaking (Petition) filed 

by Scripps Broadcasting Holdings, LLC 

(Scripps or the Petitioner), licensee of 

KRIS–TV, channel 13, Corpus Christi, 

Texas, requesting the substitution of 

channel 26 for channel 13 at Corpus 

Christi in the DTV Table of Allotments. 

Scripps states that it has received 

numerous complaints from viewers 

saying that they are unable to receive 

the station on channel 13, and that it is 

apparent that the KRIS–TV VHF signal 

is not providing viewers with the 

quality of service provided by UHF 

stations in the market. Scripps further 

states that the station is now silent, after 

a wind storm in April 2020 caused the 

tower to collapse, and Scripps would 

prefer to construct a new UHF facility 

on channel 26 in order to significantly 

improve off-air service, rather than 

replace the VHF channel 13 facility. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before March 17, 2021 and reply 

comments on or before March 29, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45

Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; 

Framework Action 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes to implement 

management measures described in a 

framework action to the Fishery 

Management Plan for the Reef Fish 

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Reef 

Fish FMP), as prepared and submitted 

by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery 

Management Council (Council). This 

proposed rule would prohibit certain 

fishing activities and, with one 

exception, the possession of Gulf of 

Mexico (Gulf) reef fish within the 

Madison-Swanson and Steamboat 

Lumps Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). 

The purpose of this proposed rule and 

the framework action is to protect 

spawning aggregations of mature reef 

fish species by reducing the potential 

for illegal fishing activities within these 

MPAs.
