Radio Broadcasting Services;

Edenton, Columbia and Pine Knoll

Shores, NC

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the

request of Lawrence F. and Margaret A.

Loesch, substitutes Channel 273C1 for

Channel 273C2 at Edenton, NC, reallots

Channel 273C1 from Edenton to

Columbia, NC, and modifies the license

of Station WERX-FM to specify

operation on the higher class channel

and Columbia as its community of

license. See 60 FR 19878, April 21,

1995. The proposal to substitute

Channel 290A for vacant but applied-for

Channel 272A at Pine Knoll Shores, NC,

is moot since the Commission deleted

the channel, without replacement, and

dismissed the sole application for the

channel. See 10 FCC Rcd 13159 (1995).

Channel 273C1 can be allotted to

Columbia in compliance with the

Commission’s minimum distance

separation requirements with a site

restriction of 24.7 kilometers (15.3

miles) south-southeast, at coordinates

35–42–48 NL; 76–08–34 WL, to avoid

short-spacings to Stations WOLC,

Channel 273B, Princess, MD, and

WHLQ, Channel 273A, Louisburg, NC.

With this action, this proceeding is

terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 1996.

BILLING CODE 6712–01–F

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

49 CFR Part 1

[OST Docket No. 1; Amdt. 1–277]

Organization and Delegation of Powers

and Duties; Delegation to the

Commandant, United States Coast

Guard

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Secretary of

Transportation has delegated to the

Commandant, United States Coast

Guard, the authority contained in 14

U.S.C. 326 to remove an officer from

active duty, and the authority in 14

U.S.C. 256(b), to establish the promotion

zone for rear admiral (lower half). The

Code of Federal Regulations does not

reflect these delegations; therefore, a

change is necessary.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 3, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

LCDR Michael Lehocky, Human

Resources Directorate, (202) 267–1664,

U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 Second Street,

SW., Washington, DC 20593; LCDR

Vincent DeLaurentis, Coast Guard

Personnel Command, (202) 267–2883,

Gordon, Executive Secretariat, (202)

Transportation, 400 Seventh Street,

SW., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

256(b) of Title 14, U.S. Code contains

the Secretary’s authority to establish the

promotion zone for rear admirals. On

September 16, 1986, then Secretary

Elizabeth Dole delegated to the

Commandant, United States Coast

Guard, the Secretary’s authority under

14 U.S.C. 256(b) to establish the

promotion zone for rear admiral (lower

half) provided that all captains eligible

for consideration under the provisions

of section 257(a)(5), Title 14, U.S. Code

are placed in the zone. The necessary

changes to the Code of Federal

Regulations were never completed,

however, and the current CFR sections

relating to delegations still show this

authority reserved to the Secretary of

Transportation. (See 49 CFR 1.44(m)(3)).

Title 14, U.S. Code, sections 321, 322,

and 323 provide a three-board

(Determination Board, Board of Inquiry,

and Board of Review) process to

consider the record of a Coast Guard

officer whose performance is

substandard or whose record shows

moral or professional dereliction. If the

third board, the Board of Review,

recommends separation of the officer,

14 U.S.C. 326 requires that

recommendation to be forwarded to the

Secretary for final action. On January 6,

1987, then Secretary Elizabeth Dole

delegated the Secretary’s authority

under 14 U.S.C. 326 to the Commandant

of the Coast Guard. The necessary

changes to the Code of Federal

Regulations were never completed,

however, and the current CFR sections

relating to delegations still show this

authority reserved to the Secretary of

Transportation. (See 49 CFR 1.44(m)(4)).

This rule removes the reservations of

authority in section 1.44 and adds

specific delegations of authority to 49

CFR 1.46, thus amending the

codification to correctly reflect

secretarial delegations of authority to

the Commandant of the Coast Guard.

Since this amendment relates to

departmental management,

organization, procedure, and practice,

notice and comment on it are

unnecessary and it may be made

effective in fewer than 30 days after

publication in the Federal Register.

Therefore, this final rule is effective

upon publication in the Federal

Register.

28 U.S.C. 2672, 31 U.S.C. 3711(a)(2).

2. Sections 1.44(m)(3) and 1.44(m)(4)

3. Section 1.46 is amended by adding

new paragraphs (aaa) and (bbb) to read

as follows:

§ 1.46 Delegations to Commandant of the

Coast Guard.

duty under section 326, Title 14, U.S.
