Summary of Public Notice

1. In the Report and Order in PR

Docket No. 92–235, the Commission

concluded that the Private Land Mobile

Radio (PLMR) Services will be

consolidated. (60 FR 37152, July 19,

1995). The Commission, however,

deferred a final decision as to how the

services would be consolidated in an

effort to provide the PLMR community

with an opportunity to negotiate and

submit a consensus consolidation

proposal to the Commission. While the

Commission received numerous

comments on the consolidation issue,

no consensus plan was submitted.

2. The Industrial Telecommunications

Association, Inc. (‘‘ITA’’) recently filed

a ‘‘proposed technical blueprint for

frequency use limitations in the postrefarming environment.’’ The blueprint

contains a consolidated Frequency

Table and associated limitations. ITA

notes that in developing this blueprint

it made certain assumptions regarding

consolidation of the PLMR Services.

Further, it states that it offers this

blueprint in the hope of advancing the

refarming effort and expediting the

realization of the long-awaited benefits

of this proceeding.

3. Interested parties may file

comments concerning ITA’s

consolidation blueprint on or before

February 7, 1997. Reply comments are

due on or before February 12, 1997.

Comments and reply comments should

be sent or delivered to: Office of the

Secretary, Federal Communications

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

and Plants; Notice of Reopening of

Comment Period on Proposed

Endangered Status for the Jaguar in

the United States

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of

reopening of comment period.

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service

(Service) gives notice that the comment

period is reopened on the proposed rule

endangered species in the United States.

This reopening of the comment period

will allow all interested parties to

closing date may not be considered in

the final decision on this proposal.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

Supervisor, Arizona Ecological Services

Field Office, 3616 West Thomas Road,

Suite 6, Phoenix, Arizona 85019.

Comments and materials received will

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bruce Palmer, Arizona Ecological

Services Field Office, Phoenix, Arizona

(See ADDRESSES section) (telephone

602/640–2720; facsimile 602/640–2730).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 13, 1994, the Service

published a proposed rule (59 FR

35674) to extend endangered status to

the jaguar in the United States portion

of its former range. The jaguar is already

listed as endangered from the Mexican

border southward throughout its entire

range.

By letter dated January 15, 1997, the

State of Arizona requested that the

Service reopen the comment period on

the proposed listing of the jaguar to

solicit public comments on a draft

jaguar conservation strategy. The State

asked the Service to consider a finalized

conservation strategy in its analysis of

threats faced by the species prior to

finalizing the listing decision. The

Service believes that the conservation

strategy constitutes significant new

information that should be considered

in making a final listing determination.
