pandemic enables the Commission to deem at-home connectivity eligible for these purposes under section 254c1, which requires the Commission to take into consideration, when determining eligible services, which services are essential to education, public health, or public safety and are consistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity. SHLB offers a variety of arguments for rejecting suggestions that the reference to classrooms in section 254b6 and 254h2A which provide that the Commission shall establish competitively neutral rules . . . to enhance, to the extent technically feasible and economically reasonable, access to advanced telecommunications and information services for all public and nonprofit elementary and secondary school classrooms . . . . limits the Commissions ability to provide E-Rate supported broadband for remote learning. SHLB points out that the Commission already provides E-rate support for some off-campus services and echoes Colorados argument that during the pandemic students and teachers homes have become virtual classrooms. Both SHLB and Colorado argue that the Commission relied on its authority under section 254h2A of the Act to allow health care providers to purchase internet access services for participating patients use in their homes or mobile locations during the pandemic in the Connected Care Pilot Program and can take a similar action in the E-Rate program. They also both point out that the Commission has the statutory authority to designate additional E-Rate supported services.
The Bureau invites other stakeholders to comment on the Commissions legal authority to use E-Rate funding to help address the remote learning challenges created by the COVID19 Pandemic.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background The Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 Halibut Act gives the Secretary of Commerce Secretary responsibility for implementing the provisions of the Halibut Convention between the United States and Canada. 16 U.S.C. 773773k.
The Halibut Act requires that the Secretary adopt regulations to carry out the purposes and objectives of the Halibut Convention and Halibut Act. 16
U.S.C. 773c. The Halibut Act also authorizes the regional fishery management councils having authority for a particular geographic area to develop regulations in addition to, but not in conflict with, regulations issued by the International Pacific Halibut Commission IPHC to govern the Pacific halibut catch in U.S. Convention waters 16 U.S.C. 773cc.
Since 1988, the Pacific Fishery Management Council Council has developed, and NMFS has approved, annual Catch Sharing Plans that allocate the IPHC regulatory Area 2A Pacific halibut catch limit between treaty Indian and non-Indian harvesters, and among non-Indian commercial and recreational sport fisheries. In 1995, the Council recommended, and NMFS
approved, a long-term Area 2A Catch Sharing Plan 60 FR 14651; March 20, 1995. NMFS has been approving adjustments to the Area 2A Catch Sharing Plan based on Council recommendations each year to address the changing needs of these fisheries.
While the full Catch Sharing Plan is not published in the Federal Register, it is made available on the Council and NMFS websites.
At its annual meeting January 2529, 2021, the IPHC recommended an Area 2A catch limit. This catch limit is derived from the total constant exploitation yield TCEY, which includes commercial discards and
