Implementation of the Satellite Home

Viewer Improvement Act of 1999:

Broadcast Signal Carriage Issues/

Retransmission Consent Issues

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This document announces the

effective date of certain sections of the

Commission’s broadcast signal carriage

rule, 47 CFR 76.66, which requires

satellite carriers, by January 1, 2002, to

carry all local television stations seeking

carriage in any market in which the

carriers provide local-into-local service.

Certain sections of the rule contained

information collection requirements that

required the approval of the Office of

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’)

before they could become effective.

Those sections of the broadcast signal

carriage rule have been approved by

OMB and become effective on June 29,

2001.

DATES: The amendments to 47 CFR

76.66(c)(3), (c)(5), (d), and (m),

published at 66 FR 7410 (Jan. 23, 2001),

become effective on June 29, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 29, 2000, the Commission

adopted a Report and Order, in CS

Docket Nos. 00–96 and 99–363, that

implements section 338 of the

Communications Act of 1934, adopted

as part of the Satellite Home Viewer

Improvement Act of 1999 (‘‘SHVIA’’). A

summary of the Report and Order was

published in the Federal Register at 66

FR 7410 (Jan. 23, 2001). The Order

adopted a rule, 47 CFR 76.66 (Satellite

Broadcast Signal Carriage rule),

requiring satellite carriers, by January 1,

2002, to carry all local television

stations seeking carriage in any market

in which they provide local-into-local

service. The rule covers a wide range of

topics including: carriage obligations

and definitions, market definitions,

delivery of a good quality signal,

duplicating signals, channel

positioning, content to be carried,

material degradation, compensation for

carriage, and remedies for carriage

violations. Sections 76.66(c)(3), (c)(5),

(d), and (m) of the rule, however,

contained information collection

requirements that required OMB

approval before they could become

effective. OMB approved the

information collection requirements on

June 7, 2001. See OMB No. 3060–0980.

Accordingly, §§ 76.66(c)(3), (c)(5), (d),

and (m) of the rule become effective on

June 29, 2001. This document

constitutes publication of the effective

date of those sections.

Salmon Fisheries; Closure of the

Commercial Fishery from Horse

Mountain to Point Arena, CA

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure; request for comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the

commercial fishery for all salmon

(except coho) in the area from Horse

Mountain to Point Arena, CA, was

closed on May 21, 2001, at 2359 hours

local time (l.t.). The Northwest Regional

Administrator of NMFS (Regional

Administrator) determined that the

quota of 3,000 chinook salmon had been

reached. This action is necessary to

conform to the 2001 management

measures.

DATES: Closure effective 2359 hours l.t.,

May 21, 2001. Comments will be

accepted through July 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this action

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulations governing the ocean salmon

fisheries at 50 CFR 660.409 (a)(1) state

that, when a quota for any salmon

species in any portion of the fishery

management area is projected by the

Regional Administrator to be reached on

or by a certain date, NMFS will, by

notification issued under 50 CFR

660.411 (a)(2), close the fishery for all

salmon species in the portion of the

fishery management area to which the

quota applies, as of the date the quota

is projected to be reached.

In the 2001 management measures for

ocean salmon fisheries (66 FR 23185,

May 8, 2001), NMFS announced that the

commercial fishery for all salmon

(except coho) in the area from Horse

Mountain to Point Arena, CA, would

open on May 1 through earlier of May

31 or a 3,000–chinook quota.

The Regional Administrator consulted

with representatives of the Pacific

Fishery Management Council and the

California Department of Fish and

Game. The best available information on

May 21, 2001, indicated that the catch

and effort data, as well as projections,

supported closure of the commercial

fishery in this area at 2359 hours l.t.,

May 21, 2001. The State of California

will manage the fishery in state waters

adjacent to this area of the exclusive

economic zone in accordance with this

Federal action. As provided by the

inseason notice procedures of 50 CFR

660.411, actual notice to fishermen of

these actions was given prior to 2359

hours l.t on May 21, 2001, by telephone

hotline number 206–526–6667 and 800–

662–9825, and by U.S. Coast Guard

Notice to Mariners broadcasts on

Channel 16 VHF-FM and 2182 kHz.

Because of the need for immediate

action to close the fishery upon

achievement of the quota, NMFS has

determined that good cause exists for

this document to be issued without

affording a prior opportunity for public

comment. This document does not

apply to other fisheries that may be

operating in other areas.

Classification

This action is authorized by 50 CFR

660.409 and 660.411 and is exempt from

review under Executive Order 12866.

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

Dated: June 26, 2001.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
