Commision. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The staff grants a 

counterproposal filed by Roy E. 

Henderson to allot Channel 299A to 

Buffalo, Texas, as a second local service. 

The staff also dismisses a rulemaking 

petition filed by Charles Crawford to 

allot Channel 299A at Iola, Texas, and 

denies a counterproposal filed by 

Katherine Pyeatt to allot Channel 267A 

at Normangee, Texas. The reference 

coordinates for Channel 299A at 

Buffalo, Texas, are 31–28–44 NL and

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal 

Communications Commission, 445 12th

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

418–2180. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Report 

and Order, MB Docket No. 07–279, DA 

09–1357, adopted June 17, 2009, and 

released June 19, 2009. The full text of 

this Commission document is available 

for inspection and copying during 

normal business hours in the FCC 

Reference Information Center (Room 

CY–A257), 445 12th Street, SW., 

Washington, DC. The complete text of 

this decision may also be purchased 

from the Commission’s copy contractor, 

Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th 

Street, SW, Room CY–B402, 

Washington, DC 20554, 800–378–3160 

or via the company’s website, <http:// 

www.bcpiweb.com>. 

This document does not contain 

proposed information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13. In addition, therefore, it does not 

contain any proposed information 

collection burden ’’for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees,’’ pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). The Commission will send a 

copy of the Report and Order in this 

proceeding in a report to be sent to 

Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1)(A). 

The Notice of Proposed Rule Making 

in this proceeding proposed the 

allotment of Channel 299A at Iola, 

Texas. See 73 FR 1576 (January 9, 2008). 

The Report and Order dismisses this 

rulemaking proposal because Crawford 

did not file a continuing expression of 

interest in the proposed allotment as 

required in the Notice of Proposed Rule 

Making. The Report and Order also 

denies Pyeatt’s counterproposal on 

technical grounds because it is no 

longer capable of being implemented. 

Specifically, the allotment of Channel 

267A at Normangee requires that 

Pyeatt’s Station KKLB(FM), 

Madisonville, Texas, be modified from 

Channel 267A to Channel 299C3. 

However, this modification of the 

Station KKLB(FM) construction permit 

to a higher class, non–adjacent channel 

cannot be made consistent with the 

requirements of Section 1.420(g) of the 

Commission’s rules because a 

competing expression of interest in 

Channel 299C3 at Madisonville, Texas, 

was filed, and there is no other 

equivalent class channel available at 

Madisonville to accommodate this 

additional expression of interest. 

Henderson’s counterproposal was the 

sole remaining proposal and was 

granted because it would provide a 

second aural transmission service, as 

well as a first commercial service, to 

Buffalo.

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Northeast Multispecies 

Fishery; Secretarial Final Interim 

Action 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule; interim 

measures. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies interim 

management measures implemented for 

the Northeast (NE) multispecies fishery 

through a previous interim final rule, 

and corrects several errors. Specifically, 

this rule removes the current trip limit 

for Georges Bank (GB) winter flounder 

and increases the white hake trip limit, 

reinstates regulatory provisions of the 

NE Multispecies Day-at-Sea (DAS) 

Leasing Program and the Closed Area I 

Hook Gear Haddock Special Access 

Program (SAP) that were inadvertently 

removed, and corrects several Total 

Allowable Catch (TAC) specifications, 

and latitude/longitude coordinates. 

DATES: Effective July 2, 2009, through 

October 28, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction of Errors and Clarification 

A temporary rule, which modified the 

NE Multispecies fishery management 

plan (FMP) by temporarily suspending 

the differential DAS counting provisions 

and extending the deadline for NE 

Multispecies DAS Leasing Program 

applications for the 2008 fishing year, 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 11, 2009 (74 FR 10513), with 

public comment accepted through April 

10, 2009. This temporary rule was in 

response to a January 26, 2009, Federal 

Court Order in the case of 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts and 

State of New Hampshire v. Carlos M. 

Gutierrez (Civil Action No.: 06–12110– 

EFH) (Court Order), which suspended 

the regulations regarding differential 

DAS counting in the Gulf of Maine 

(GOM) and Southern New England 

(SNE) Differential DAS Areas through 

April 10, 2009.
