SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document announces that OMB 

approved the information collection 

requirements in § 90.1207(e) and (f) on 

September 7, 2023. This rule section 

was adopted in the Commission’s 

Seventh Report and Order, in WP 

Docket No. 07–100; FCC 23–3, 

published at 88 FR 12565, February 28, 

2023. In this Seventh Report and Order, 

the Commission adopted a proposal to 

collect more granular data on public 

safety deployments in the 4.9 GHz band. 

The Commission also decided to 

continue using the Universal Licensing 

System (ULS) as the licensing database 

for public safety operations in the 4.9 

GHz band. The Commission directed the 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau and the Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau 

(collectively the Bureaus) to make any 

necessary enhancements to ULS and 

obtain any necessary review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, and 

announce by a notice when ULS is 

prepared to accept the granular data 

specified in § 90.1207(e) and (f) on 

public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz 

band. The Commission also directed the 

Bureaus to announce the compliance 

date for § 90.1207(e) and (f) by a 

subsequent notice and to cause 

§ 90.1207(g) to be revised accordingly. 

ULS will be prepared to accept the 

granular data on December 9, 2024. 

Therefore, consistent with instructions 

from the Seventh Report and Order, this 

document revises § 90.1207 by adding 

compliance dates to paragraph (g) which 

states that compliance with paragraphs 

(e) and (f) is not required until 

paragraph (g) is updated. The 

Commission publishes this document as 

a compliance date of the rule. If you 

have any comments on the burden 

estimates listed below, or how the 

Commission can improve the 

collections and reduce any burdens 

cause thereby, please contact Nicole 

Ongele, Federal Communications 

Commission, 45 L Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20554. Please include 

OMB Control Number, 3060–1312, in 

your correspondence. The Commission 

will also accept your comments via 

email at PRA@fcc.gov.

received final OMB approval on 

September 7, 2023, for the information 

collection requirements contained in 

§ 90.1207(e) and (f). 

Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 

display a current, valid OMB Control 

Number. The OMB Control Number for 

the information collection requirements 

in this rule is 3060–1312.

[Docket No. 231221–0314; RTID 0648–

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Bluefish Fishery; 

Quota Transfer From New York to 

North Carolina 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; quota transfer. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the 

State of New York is transferring a 

portion of their 2024 commercial 

bluefish quota to the State of North 

Carolina. This quota adjustment is 

necessary to comply with the Atlantic 

Bluefish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP) quota transfer provisions. This 

announcement informs the public of the 

revised 2024 commercial bluefish

quotas for New York and North 

Carolina. 

DATES: Effective December 6, 2024, 

through December 31, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Matthew Rigdon, Fishery Management 

Specialist, (978) 281–9336. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations governing the Atlantic 

bluefish fishery are found in 50 CFR 

648.160 through 648.167. These 

regulations require annual specification 

of a commercial quota that is 

apportioned among the coastal states 

from Maine through Florida. The 

process to set the annual commercial 

quota and the percent allocated to each 

state is described in § 648.162, and the 

final 2024 allocations were published 

on January 2, 2024 (89 FR 34). 

The final rule implementing 

amendment 1 to the FMP, as published 

in the Federal Register on July 26, 2000 

(65 FR 45844), provided a mechanism 

for transferring bluefish commercial 

quota from one state to another. Two or 

more states, under mutual agreement 

and with the concurrence of the NMFS 

Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator, 

can request approval to transfer or 

combine bluefish commercial quota 

under § 648.162(e). The Regional 

Administrator is required to consider 

three criteria in the evaluation of 

requests for quota transfers or 

combinations: (1) the transfers would 

not preclude the overall annual quota 

from being fully harvested; (2) the 

transfers address an unforeseen 

variation or contingency in the fishery; 

and (3) the transfers are consistent with 

the objectives of the FMP and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). The Regional 

Administrator has determined these 

criteria have been met for the transfers 

approved in this notification. 

New York is transferring 50,000 

pounds (lb) (22,680 kilograms (kg)) to 

North Carolina through mutual 

agreement of the States. This transfer 

was requested to ensure North Carolina 

would not exceed its 2024 State quota. 

The revised bluefish quotas for 2024 are: 

New York, 339,190 lb (153,854 kg) and 

North Carolina, 1,130,996 lb (513,011 

kg). 

Classification 

NMFS issues this action pursuant to 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. This action is required by 50 CFR 

648.162(e)(1)(i) through (iii), which was 

issued pursuant to section 304(b), and is 

exempted from review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Dated: December 3, 2024.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
