Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507),

Under 5 CFR 1320, an agency may not 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a current, 

valid OMB Control Number. 

No person shall be subject to any 

penalty for failing to comply with a

0678 and the total annual reporting 

burdens and costs for respondents are as 

follows: 

OMB Control Numbers: 3060–0678. 

OMB Approval Date: February 27, 

2009. 

Expiration Date: February 29, 2012. 

Title: Part 25 of the Commission’s 

Rules Governing the Licensing of, and 

Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network 

Stations and Space Stations. 

Form Number: FCC Forms 312 and 

Schedule S. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

4,112 respondents; 4,112 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 0.25–

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) released 

an Eighth Report and Order and Order 

on Reconsideration titled, ‘‘In the Matter 

of 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review— 

Streamlining and Other Revisions of 

Part 25 of the Commission’s Rules 

Governing the Licensing of, and 

Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network 

Earth Stations and Space Stations; 

Streamlining the Commission’s Rules 

and Regulations for Satellite 

Applications and Licensing Procedures’’ 

(FCC 08–246), IB Docket No. 00–248. In 

the Eighth Report and Order, the 

Commission further streamlined the 

Commission’s non-routine earth station 

processing rules by adopting a new 

earth station procedure that will enable 

the Commission to treat more 

applications routinely than is possible 

under the current earth station 

procedures. This rulemaking facilitates 

the provision of broadband Internet 

access services.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 44 / Monday, March 9, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 9963 

The PRA information collection 

requirements contained in the Eighth 

Report and Order are as follows: 

1. The Commission plans to modify 

the ‘‘Application for Satellite Space and 

Earth Station Authorizations’’ (FCC 

Form 312), including Schedule B, in the 

International Bureau Filing System 

(‘‘MyIBFS’’) to reflect the off-axis 

equivalent isotropically radiated power 

(EIRP) envelope compliance 

requirement. In the interim, earth 

station applicants must submit a table as 

an attachment to the FCC Form 312 to 

show their compliance with the off-axis 

EIRP requirement. 

2. Earth station licensees who plan to 

use a contention protocol must certify 

that their contention protocol usage will 

be reasonable. In the future, the 

Commission will revise the FCC Form 

312 in MyIBFS to provide a streamlined 

method for earth station applicants 

planning to use a contention protocol to 

make this certification. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 

collection are necessary to determine 

the technical and legal qualifications of 

applicants or licensees to operate a 

station, transfer or assign a license, and 

to determine whether the authorization 

is in the public interest, convenience 

and necessity. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to permit 

respondents to provide 

telecommunication services in the U.S. 

Therefore, the Commission would be 

unable to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities in accordance with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, and the obligations imposed 

on parties to the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom 

Agreement. 

Federal Communications Commission.

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

Provisions; Fisheries of the 

Northeastern United States; Northeast 

Multispecies Fishery; Reduction of the 

Landing Limit for Eastern Georges 

Bank Cod in the U.S./Canada 

Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; reduction of 

landing limit. 

SUMMARY: This action decreases the 

landing limit of Eastern Georges Bank 

(GB) cod to 500 lb (226.8 kg) per dayat-sea (DAS), or any part of a DAS, up 

to 5,000 lb (2,267.9 kg) per trip for NE 

multispecies DAS vessels fishing in the 

U.S./Canada Management Area. This 

action is authorized by the regulations 

implementing Amendment 13 to the NE 

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 

and is intended to increase the 

likelihood of harvesting the total 

allowable catch (TAC) for Eastern GB 

cod without exceeding it during the 

2008 fishing year. This action is being 

taken to allow vessels to fully harvest 

the TACs for transboundary stocks of 

GB cod, haddock, and yellowtail 

flounder under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). 

DATES: Effective March 9, 2009, through 

April 30, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Douglas Potts, Fishery Policy Analyst, 

(978) 281–9341, fax (978) 281–9135. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations governing the GB cod 

landing limit within the Eastern U.S./ 

Canada Area are found at 

§ 648.85(a)(3)(iv)(A) and (D). The 

regulations authorize vessels issued a 

valid limited access NE multispecies 

permit and fishing under a NE 

multispecies DAS to fish in the U.S./ 

Canada Management Area, as defined at 

§ 648.85(a)(1), under specific 

conditions. The TAC for Eastern GB cod 

for the 2008 fishing year (May 1, 2008 

–April 30, 2009) was set at 667 mt (73 

FR 16572, March 28, 2008), a 35– 

percent increase from the TAC for the 

2007 fishing year. 

The regulations at § 648.85(a)(3)(iv)(D) 

authorize the Administrator, Northeast 

(NE) Region, NMFS (Regional 

Administrator), to increase or decrease 

the trip limits in the U.S./Canada 

Management Area to prevent overharvesting or under-harvesting the TAC 

allocation. The default landing limit of 

Eastern GB cod for NE multispecies 

DAS vessels fishing in the Eastern U.S./ 

Canada Area is 500 lb (226.8 kg) per 

DAS, or any part of a DAS, up to 5,000 

lb (2,268 kg) per trip. NMFS published 

a temporary rule on December 23, 2008 

(73 FR 78659), increasing the landing 

limit for Eastern GB cod to 1,000 lb 

(453.6 kg) per DAS, or any part of a 

DAS, up to 10,000 lb (4,535.9 kg) per 

trip. 

According to the most recent Vessel 

Monitoring System (VMS) reports and 

other available information, the 

cumulative Eastern GB cod catch, is 

approximately 53.8 percent of the TAC, 

as of February 12, 2009, and is expected 

to achieve the TAC by early April; prior 

to conclusion of the 2008 fishing year. 

If the TAC were reached it would 

require that the Eastern U.S./Canada 

Area be closed for the remainder of the 

2008 fishing year, preventing the 

harvest of the remaining portion of the 

Eastern GB haddock TAC and 

preventing harvest of GB yellowtail 

flounder in the Eastern U.S./Canada 

Area. Based on this information, the 

Regional Administrator is decreasing 

the current Eastern GB cod landing limit 

of 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) per DAS, or any 

part of a DAS, up to 10,000 lb (4,535.9 

kg) per trip in the Eastern U.S./Canada 

Area; to 500 lb (226.8 kg) per DAS, or 

any part of a DAS, up to 5,000 lb (2,268 

kg) per trip, effective 0001 hours local 

time March 9, 2009, through April 30, 

2009. 

Eastern GB cod landings will continue 

to be closely monitored. Further 

inseason adjustments to increase or 

decrease the trip limit may be 

considered, based on updated catch data 

and projections. Should 100 percent of 

the TAC allocation for Eastern GB cod 

be projected to be harvested, the Eastern 

U.S./Canada Area would be closed to 

limited access NE multispecies DAS 

vessels for the remainder of the fishing 

year. 

Classification 

This action is authorized by 50 CFR 

part 648 and is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 

(d)(3), the Assistant Administrator finds 

good cause to waive prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment, as well
