`
`Emergency Alert System
`AGENCY: Federal Communications
`Commission.
`ACTION: Final rule.
`
`SUMMARY: This document revises part 11
`of the Commission’s rules governing the
`Emergency Alert System [EAS] to
`remove certain rule provisions which
`are obsolete and to make minor editorial
`revisions.
`
`DATES: Effective April 24, 2000.
`FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
`Kathy Berthot, Enforcement Bureau,
`Technical and Public Safety Division,
`[202] 418—1454.
`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
`summary of the Order of the
`Commission’s Managing Director, DA
`00—755. adopted on March 31, 2000,
`and released on April 4, 2000. The
`complete text of this Order is available
`for inspection and copying during
`normal business hours in the FCC
`Reference Information Center, Courtyard
`Level, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington,
`D.C., and also may be purchased from
`the Commission’s copy contractor,
`International Transcription Services,
`Inc., at 202785773800, CY7B4UU, 445
`12th Street, SW, Washington, DC.
`
`The Order amends part 11 to remove
`references to the EAS authenticator lists,
`which have been discontinued by the
`Commission. The EAS authenticator
`lists were lists of words distributed
`annually by the Commission to the
`White House Communications Agency
`[VVHCA], the Federal Emergency
`Management Agency [FEMA), and all
`EAS participants. The lists were used by
`EAS participants to authenticate
`national-level EAS messages prior to
`activation of the EAS. The Commission
`discontinued the EAS authenticator lists
`in 1998, after consultation with FEMA
`and WHCA, because the new EAS
`equipment which must be used by
`broadcast stations and cable operators
`can process EAS messages automatically
`witaout the need for human
`intervention and authenticaticui.
`Additionally, the Order removes
`references to the required weekly tests
`of too old Emergency Broadcast System
`Attention Signal from the part 11 rules
`because, effective January 1, 1997,
`broadcast stations are no longer required
`to conduct those tests. Furtaermore, the
`Order makes minor editorial revisions to
`the part 11 rules to reflect tae shift of
`responsibility for the EAS from the
`Commission's Compliance and
`Information Bureau, which has been
`eliminated, to the recently established
`Enforcement Bureau.
`As the Order merely removes obsolete
`rule provisions and makes minor
`editorial revisions to the rules, the
`Commission finds good cause to
`conclude that notice and comment
`procedures are unnecessary. 5 U.S.C.
`553(b)[3](B]. Since a general notice of
`proposed rulemaking is not required,
`
`
`
`
`
`the Regulatory Flexibility Act does not
`apply.
`The actions taken in the Order have
`been analyzed with respect to the
`Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
`found to impose no new or modified
`reporting and recordkeeping
`requirements or burdens on the public.

`EAS plans contain guidelines which
`must be followed by broadcast and cable
`personnel, emergency officials and
`National Weather Service [NWS]
`personnel to activate the EAS. The plans
`include the EAS header codes and
`messages that will be transmitted by key
`EAS sources [NP, LP, SP and SR]. State
`and local plans contain unique methods
`ofEAS message distribution such as the
`use of RBDS. The plans must be
`reviewed and approved by the Chief,
`Technical and Public Safety Division,
`Enforcement Bureau, prior to
`implementation to ensure that they are
`consistent with national plans, FCC
`regulations, and EAS operation.

`ACTION: Final rule and 2000 target total
`allowable catch [TAC) levels.
`SUMMARY: NMFS issues this final rule to
`establish 2000 target TACs for five
`\lortheast multispecies fisheries and to
`implement measures contained in
`Framework Adjustment 33 of the
`\lortheast Multispecies Fishery
`Vlanagernent Plan [FMP). This final rule
`implements management measures that
`include the following:
`A continuation of the current Gulf of
`Viaine (GOM) cod trip limit and the
`current COM area closures;
`Two conditional 1—month closed areas
`portions of Massachusetts Bay and
`Stellwagen Bank in January and Cashes
`sedge in November), which would
`Decome effective if preliminary landings
`hrough July 31, 2000, indicate that
`more than 1.67 million lb [759 mt) of
`GOM cod have been landed;
`A 1-year extension of the Western
`GOM year-round closure, which
`otherwise would expire on April 30,
`2001;
`The closure of a portion of Georges
`Bank (CB) east and southeast of Cape
`Cod during May to vessels fishing for
`multispecies and the removal of a
`regulatory provision that gave the
`Administrator, Northeast Region, NMFS
`[Regional Administrator), the authority
`to reduce the CB cod trip limit;
`A continuation of the GB cod landing
`limit;
`A haddock daily landing limit of
`3,0001b/days at sea (DAS) [1,360.8 kg/
`DAS] with a maximum possession limit
`of 30,000 lb [13,608 kg] per trip with
`potential increases in landing limits;
