Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 75975 

‘‘the fair treatment and meaningful 

involvement of all people regardless of 

race, color, national origin, or income 

with respect to the development, 

implementation, and enforcement of 

environmental laws, regulations, and 

policies.’’ EPA further defines the term 

fair treatment to mean that ‘‘no group of 

people should bear a disproportionate 

burden of environmental harms and 

risks, including those resulting from the 

negative environmental consequences of 

industrial, governmental, and 

commercial operations or programs and 

policies.’’ 

The Connecticut Department of 

Energy and Environmental Protection 

did not evaluate environmental justice 

considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and 

did not consider EJ in this action. Due 

to the nature of the action being taken 

here, this action is expected to have a 

neutral to positive impact on the air 

quality of the affected area. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of 

achieving environmental justice for 

communities with EJ concerns. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by November 18, 

2024. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of this action for the purposes of judicial 

review nor does it extend the time 

within which a petition for judicial 

review may be filed, and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. This action may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 73 

[MB Docket No. 24–176; RM–11984; DA 24– 

891; FR ID 243632] 

Television Broadcasting Services Cape 

Girardeau, Missouri 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Video Division, Media 

Bureau (Bureau), has before it a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking issued in 

response to a Petition for Rulemaking 

filed by Gray Television Licensee, LLC 

(Gray), the licensee of KFVS–TV 

(Station or KFVS–TV), Cape Girardeau, 

Missouri (Cape Girardeau). Gray 

requests amendment of the Table of TV 

Allotments to substitute channel 11 for 

channel 32. Gray filed comments in 

support of the Petition, as required by 

the Commission’s rules (rules), 

reaffirming its interest in the proposed 

channel substitution and that it will 

promptly file an application seeking 

authorization on channel 11. 

DATES: Effective October 17, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 89 FR 

56250 on July 9, 2024. Gray filed 

comments in support of the petition 

reaffirming its commitment to apply for 

channel 11. No other comments were 

received. 

The Bureau believes the public 

interest would be served by substituting 

channel 11 for channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau. On May 17, 2021, the Bureau 

granted a petition for rulemaking 

submitted by Gray to substitute channel 

32 for channel 11 at Cape Girardeau for 

KFVS–TV. Gray was also granted a 

construction permit to construct a 

facility on channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau, but was unable to complete 

construction of the channel facility by 

the expiration date—June 23, 2024. 

Thus, Gray requests amendment of the 

Table of TV Allotments to allow it to 

continue to operate pursuant to the 

parameters of its current license on 

channel 11. The substitution of channel 

11 for channel 32 in the TV Table of 

Allotments will allow the Station to 

remain on the air and continue to 

provide service to viewers within its 

service area. Gray proposes to utilize its 

currently licensed parameters, and as 

such we find that channel 11 can be 

substituted for channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau as proposed, in compliance 

with the principal community coverage 

requirements of § 73.618(a) of the rules, 

at coordinates 37–25′–44.7′′ N and 089– 

30′–14.2′′ W. In addition, we find that 

this channel substitution meets the 

technical requirements set forth in 

§ 73.622(a) of the rules. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB 

Docket No. 24–176; RM–11984; DA 24– 

891, adopted September 5, 2024, and 

released September 5, 2024. The full
