the vanity call sign system for 2 years 

following the date such action is taken. 

(The availability of a call sign shown on 

a license canceled pursuant to § 97.21(d) 

is governed by paragraph (c)(3) of this 

section.) 

(i) This 2-year period does not apply 

to any license grant pursuant to 

paragraph (c)(3)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this 

section that is surrendered, canceled, 

revoked, voided, or set aside because 

the grantee acknowledged or the 

Commission determined that the grantee

(ii) An applicant to whose operator/ 

primary station license grant, or club 

station license grant for which the 

applicant is the trustee, the call sign was 

previously assigned is exempt from this 

2-year period. 

(3) The call sign shown on a license 

canceled pursuant to § 97.21(d) is not 

available to the vanity call sign system 

for 2 years following the person’s death, 

or for 2 years following the expiration 

of the license grant, whichever is 

sooner; except that, when the licensee’s 

death occurs prior to the license 

expiration date, but the Commission 

does not cancel the license until on or 

after the date 30 days before the second 

anniversary of the licensee’s death, the 

call sign is not available to the vanity 

call sign system for 30 days following 

the date such action is taken. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the call 

sign shown on a license canceled 

pursuant to § 97.21(d) is available 

immediately. This provision does not 

apply to an applicant: 

(i) To whose operator/primary station 

license grant, or club station license 

grant for which the applicant is the 

trustee, the call sign was previously 

assigned; or 

(ii) Who is the spouse, child, 

grandchild, stepchild, parent, 

grandparent, step-parent, brother, sister,

niece, nephew, or in-law of the person

former holder of the call sign; or 

(iii) Who is a club station license 

trustee acting with a written statement 

of consent signed by either the licensee 

ante mortem but who is now deceased, 

or by at least one relative as listed above 

in (ii) of the person now deceased, 

provided that the deceased licensee was 

a member of the club. 

(d) Except for an applicant whose 

station had been formerly assigned the 

call sign requested, the vanity call sign 

requested by an applicant must be 

selected from the group of call signs 

corresponding to the same or lower 

class of operator license held by the 

applicant as designated in the 

sequential call sign system.

5. Section 97.21 is amended by

modification of the license grant as

military recreation or RACES station 

license grant, the application must be 

presented in document form to a Club 

Station Call Sign Administrator 

(CSCSA) who must submit the 

information thereon to the FCC in an 

electronic batch file. The CSCSA must 

retain the collected information for at 

least 15 months and make it available to 

the FCC upon request. An application to 

modify a club station license grant to 

change the license trustee name must be 

submitted to a CSCSA by an officer of 

the club. A CSCSA shall not file with 

the Commission any application to 

modify a club station license grant, 

except to change a club station license 

trustee, submitted by a person who is 

not the trustee of record. 

* * * * * 

(d) A person may request cancellation 

of an operator/primary station license 

grant on account of the licensee’s death 

by submitting a signed request that 

includes a death certificate, obituary, or 

Social Security Death Index (SSDI) data 

clearly showing that the person named 

in the operator/primary station license 

grant has died. Such requests may be 

submitted as pleadings associated with 

the license. See § 1.45 of this chapter. In 

addition, the Commission may cancel 

an operator/primary station license 

grant if it becomes aware of the grantee’s 

death through other means. For 

purposes of this section, when SSDI 

data is submitted, it must be based on 

the Social Security Administration 

Death Master File current at the time of 

the request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2010 / Proposed Rules 3889 

Background 

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, published a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register on November 20, 

2009 (74 FR 60228), to propose 

migratory bird subsistence harvest 

regulations in Alaska for the 2010 

season. The proposed regulations would 

enable the continuation of customary 

and traditional subsistence uses of 

migratory birds in Alaska and prescribe 

regional information on when and 

where the harvesting of birds may 

occur. These proposed regulations were 

developed under a co-management 

process involving the Service, the 

Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 

and Alaska Native representatives. The 

rulemaking is necessary because the 

regulations governing the subsistence 

harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are 

subject to annual review. This 

rulemaking proposes region-specific 

regulations that would go into effect on 

April 2, 2010, and expire on August 31, 

2010. 

We are extending the public comment 

period on our proposed rule (see DATES

section) in response to a request for 

additional time to comment that we 

received during the initial public 

comment period. The initial public 

comment period for the proposed rule 

ended on January 19, 2010. The revised 

comment period ends on February 18, 

2010. If you submitted comments 

previously, then you do not need to 

resubmit them because we have already 

incorporated them into the public 

record and we will fully consider them 

in preparation of our final 

determination. 

Public Comments 

You may submit your comments and 

materials concerning this proposed rule 

by one of the methods listed in the 

ADDRESSES section. We will not accept 

comments sent by e-mail or fax or to an 

address not listed in the ADDRESSES

section. We will not consider handdelivered comments that we do not 

receive, or mailed comments that are 

not postmarked, by the date specified in 

the DATES section. 

We will post your entire comment— 

including your personal identifying 

information—on http:// 

www.regulations.gov. If you provide 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you may request at the top of 

your document that we withhold this 

information from public review. 

However, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. 

Comments and materials we receive, 

as well as supporting documentation we 

used in preparing this proposed rule, 

will be available for public inspection 

on http://www.regulations.gov, or by 

appointment, during normal business 

hours, at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Office of the Alaska Migratory 

Bird Co-management Council, 1011 E. 

Tudor Rd., Anchorage, AK 99503, (877) 

229–2344. 

Author(s) 

The primary authors of this package 

are the staff members of the Office of the 

Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management 

Council. 

Authority 

We derive our authority to issue these 

regulations from the Migratory Bird 

Treaty Act of 1918, 16 U.S.C. 712(1), 

which authorizes the Secretary of the 

Interior, in accordance with the treaties 

with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia, 

to ‘‘issue such regulations as may be 

necessary to assure that the taking of 

migratory birds and the collection of 

their eggs, by the indigenous inhabitants 

of the State of Alaska, shall be permitted 

for their own nutritional and other 

essential needs, as determined by the 

Secretary of the Interior, during seasons 

established so as to provide for the 

preservation and maintenance of stocks 

of migratory birds.’’ 

Dated: January 12, 2010. 

Thomas L. Strickland, 

Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and 

Parks.
