AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the

request of Mountain Tower

Broadcasting, dismisses the petition for

rulemaking requesting the allotment of

Channel 259C at Saratoga, Wyoming,

and grants the counterproposal filed by

Mount Rushmore Broadcasting, Inc.

requesting the allotment of Channel

259A at Saratoga, as the community’s

first aural transmission service and the

allotment of Channel 259C1 at Green

River, Wyoming, as the community’s

second FM transmission service. It also

dismisses as moot the request of Robert

R. Rule d/b/a Rule Communications

requesting that a site restriction be

placed on Channel 259C at Saratoga, to

clear its application for Station

KRRR(FM) Cheyenne, Wyoming. See 63

FR 39803 (July 24, 1998) (MM Docket

No. 98–130). This document also

dismisses as defective the petition for

rule making filed by Mountain West

Broadcasting (MM Docket No. 99–56) 64

FR 08786 (February 23, 1999),

requesting the allotment of Channel

259C at Big Piney, Wyoming because it

was short-spaced to Channel 259C1 at

Green River when it was filed.

Counterproposals for Channels 251A at

Big Piney and 261A at La Barge,

Wyoming filed in response to the

dismissed Big Piney proposal will be

considered as petitions for rule making

in a separate proceeding. See

Species Fishery by Vessels Using

Trawl Gear in the Gulf of Alaska

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for species that comprise the

shallow-water species fishery by vessels

using trawl gear in the Gulf of Alaska

(GOA), except for vessels fishing for

pollock using pelagic trawl gear in those

portions of the GOA open to directed

fishing for pollock. This action is

necessary because the second seasonal

apportionment of the 2000 halibut

bycatch allowance specified for the

trawl shallow-water species fishery in

the GOA has been caught.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), May 28, 2000, until 1200

manages the groundfish fishery in the

GOA exclusive economic zone

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of

Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and

Management Act. Regulations governing

fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance

with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50

CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.

The Pacific halibut bycatch allowance

for the GOA trawl shallow-water species

fishery, which is defined at

§ 679.21(d)(3)(iii)(A), was established by

the Final 2000 Harvest Specifications

February 18, 2000) for the second

season, the period April 1, 2000,

through July 3, 2000, as 100 metric tons.

In accordance with § 679.21(d)(7)(i),

the Administrator, Alaska Region,

NMFS, has determined that the second

seasonal apportionment of the 2000

Pacific halibut bycatch allowance

specified for the trawl shallow-water

species fishery in the GOA has been

caught. Consequently, NMFS is
