Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork 

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

the FCC is notifying the public that it 

received emergency OMB approval on 

October 27, 2014, for the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

modifications to the Commission’s rules 

in 47 CFR part 20. 

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 

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 

display a current, valid OMB Control 

Number. The OMB Control Number is 

3060–1204. 

The foregoing notice is required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Pub. L. 104–13, October 1, 1995, and 44 

U.S.C. 3507. 

The total annual reporting burdens 

and costs for the respondents are as 

follows: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1204. 

OMB Approval Date: October 27, 

2014. 

OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2015. 

Title: Deployment of Text-to-911. 

Form Number: Public Safety 

Answering (PSAP) Text-to-911 

Registration Form (No Form Number 

Assigned). 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; and 

state, local or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 3,370 respondents; 58,012 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–8 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 

152, 154(i), 154(j), 154(o), 251(e), 303(b), 

303(g), 303(r), 316, and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 76,237 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission will work with 

respondents to ensure that their 

concerns regarding the confidentiality of 

any proprietary or business-sensitive 

information are resolved in a manner 

consistent with the Commission’s rules. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection does not affect 

individuals or households, and 

therefore a privacy impact assessment is 

not required. 

Needs and Uses: On August 13, 2014, 

the Commission released the Order, FCC 

14–118, published at 79 FR 55367, 

September 16, 2014, adopting final 

rules—containing information 

collection requirements—to enable the 

Commission to implement text-to-911 

service pursuant to the Second Report 

and Order, FCC 14–118, released August 

13, 2014. The Second Report and Order 

adopts new rules to commence the 

implementation of text-to-911 service 

with an initial deadline of December 31, 

2014 for all covered text providers to be 

capable of supporting text-to-911 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 220 / Friday, November 14, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 68133 

service. The Second Report and Order 

also provides that covered text 

providers then have a six-month 

implementation period—they must 

begin routing all 911 text messages to a 

Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) 

by June 30, 2015 or within six months 

of a valid PSAP request for text-to-911 

service, whichever is later. To 

implement these requirements, the 

Commission seeks to collect information 

primarily for a database in which PSAPs 

will voluntarily register that they are 

technically ready to receive text 

messages to 911. As PSAPs become textready, they may either register in the 

PSAP database (or, if the database is not 

yet available, submit a notification to PS 

Docket Nos. 10–255 and 11–153), or 

provide other written notification 

reasonably acceptable to a covered text 

messaging provider. Either measure 

taken by the PSAP shall constitute 

sufficient notification pursuant to the 

adopted rules in the Second Report and 

Order. PSAPs and covered text 

providers may mutually agree to an 

alternative implementation timeframe 

(other than six months). Covered text 

providers must notify the FCC of the 

dates and terms of the alternate 

timeframe that they have mutually 

agreed on with PSAPs within 30 days of 

the parties’ agreement. 

Additionally, the rules adopted by the 

Second Report and Order also include 

other information collections for third 

party notifications that need to be 

effective in order to implement text-to911, including necessary notifications to 

consumers, covered text providers, and 

the Commission. These notifications are 

essential to ensure that all of the 

affected parties are aware of the 

limitations, capabilities, and status of 

text-to-911 services. These information 

collections will enable the Commission 

to meet objectives to commence the 

implementation of text-to-911 service as 

of December 31, 2014 in furtherance of 

its core mission to ensure the public’s 

safety.

International Fisheries; Pacific Tuna 

Fisheries; 2014 Commercial Fishing for 

Pacific Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern 

Pacific Ocean; Commercial Retention 

Limit 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule for an 

emergency action. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is reopening the U.S. 

commercial fishery for Pacific bluefin 

tuna (PBF) in the eastern Pacific Ocean 

(EPO) until the 500 metric ton (mt) 

catch limit is reached. If the 500-metric 

ton limit, which was established under 

the Tuna Conventions Act (TCA) and 

regulations implementing Resolution C– 

13–02 of the Inter-American Tropical 

Tuna Commission (IATTC) in the EPO, 

is not met, the fishery will close on 

December 31, 2014. This reopening of 

the fishery vacates the closure made by 

NMFS on September 5, 2014. Following 

the closure, NMFS received updated 

information indicating that only 404 mt 

of the 500 mt catch limit was caught. 

Thus, the closure was imposed 

prematurely. This rule also imposes a 1 

mt trip limit on retention of PBF in the 

EPO by commercial vessels as an 

emergency action under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (MSA). 

DATES: Effective November 13, 2014, 

through December 31, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mark Helvey, NMFS West Coast Region, 

562–980–4040, Mark,Helvey@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

takes this action in accordance with the 

TCA, 16 U.S.C. 951 et seq., and under 

section 305(c) of the MSA, 16 U.S.C. 

1855(c). NMFS published a final rule in 

the Federal Register (79 FR 28448, May 

16, 2014) implementing Resolution C– 

13–02, (‘‘Measures for the Conservation 

and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the 

Eastern Pacific Ocean’’) adopted by the 

IATTC at its 85th Meeting in June 2013. 

Resolution C–13–02 provided for an 

IATTC-wide (applicable to all members 

and cooperating non-members of the 

IATTC fishing in the EPO) commercial 

catch limit of 5,000 mt and up to 500 

mt set aside for IATTC members having 

a historical catch record of PBF in the 

EPO. Because the United States has a 

historical record of PBF catch in the 

EPO, the U.S. commercial fishing fleet 

qualifies for the 500 mt catch limit of 

PBF in the Convention Area for 2014, as 

explained in the final rule. The final 

rule further explains that when the 

IATTC-wide 5,000 mt catch limit is 

reached, the U.S. commercial fleet may 

continue to target, retain, transship, or 

land PBF until the 500 mt limit is 

reached. 

In late August 2014, NMFS received 

information that the PBF catch by U.S. 

purse seine vessels was 454 mt. As a 

result, on September 5, 2014, NMFS 

closed the fishery, believing that the 

United States was close to reaching the 

500 mt limit (79 FR 53631, September 

10, 2014). Following the closure, NMFS 

received updated landings data 

indicating that the total U.S. commercial 

catch in 2014 was 403.5 mt, not 454 mt. 

Since then, NMFS informed the Pacific 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

of the early closure at their meeting in 

Spokane, Washington on September 13, 

2014, and the Council recommended 

that NMFS reopen the commercial 

fishery and establish a 1 mt trip limit 

until the 500 mt catch limit is reached. 

NMFS finds the Council’s request 

consistent with several of the MSA 

national standards for fishery 

conservation and management within 

the context of the Council’s Fishery 

Management Plan for U.S. West Coast 

Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species. 

While PBF are in an overfished and 

overfishing condition, the stock is being 

managed under IATTC Resolution C– 

13–02 in efforts to curtail catches in the 

EPO. The Council’s recommendation 

ensures that the remainder of the 500 mt 

will be available to the U.S. commercial 

fisheries and harvested in measured 

increments of 1 mt or smaller, which 

substantially reduces the risk of 

exceeding the limit while allowing for 

resource utilization. Its recommendation 

adheres to National Standard 1 of the 

MSA—‘‘conservation and management 

measures shall prevent overfishing 

while achieving, on a continuing basis, 

the optimum yield from each fishery for 

the United States fishing industry.’’ 

NMFS also recognizes that the number 

of U.S. vessels able to catch PBF is small 

because interacting with PBF is not a 

common event and that their catch can 

be readily monitored because some 

vessels capable of efficiently catching 

PBF in 1 mt increments or less (e.g., 

drift gillnet) will already have federally 

trained observers onboard to monitor 

the catch. In addition, NMFS plans to 

work with fish buyers and State of
