Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 76 / Friday, April 21, 2017 / Notices
was to make reproducible
measurements under clearly-defined
test conditions to isolate impacts of
radiated LTE signals on GPS receivers,
and to allow others to make comparable
measurements if desired. To accomplish
this, the approach aimed to measure the
response of selected GPS devices given
well-controlled GPS and LTE power
levels under fixed, stable thermal noise
conditions, while limiting the number
of other extraneous variables.
In May of 2016, the NASCTN team
completed the draft test plan and
distributed it to a cross-section of GPS
manufacturers, Federal agencies, and
spectrum regulators and released it
publicly for comments to obtain
technical feedback on the proposed
method. Over a two-month period,
NASCTN received 159 comments from
10 different organizations. The NASCTN
test team reviewed the comments and
developed a revised test plan in July of
2016 that addressed the technical issues
raised in the comments. The draft test
plan, the revised test plan, and the
adjudicated comments from the review
process are all publicly available on the
NASCTN Web site at: https://
www.nist.gov/programs-projects/
impact-lte-signals-gps-receivers.
Over a three-month period, from
August through October 2016, NASCTN
performed the radiated measurements
associated with this project at two
facilities—a semi-anechoic chamber at
National Technical Systems in
Longmont, Colorado and at a fullyanechoic chamber at the NIST
Broadband Interoperability Testbed
facility in Boulder, Colorado, using the
revised test plan.
NASCTN relied on technical staff
from NIST and the U.S. Army’s
Electronic Proving Grounds to perform
and validate the measurements and
collect the data. The team was multidisciplinary, including expertise in GPS
devices and simulation, radiated radiofrequency measurements, timing
measurements, microwave metrology,
statistical analysis and data processing.
In total, NASCTN performed 1,476
hours of testing and collected over
19,000 data files for a variety of
measurands, including carrier-to-noisedensity ratio (C/N0), 3D position error,
timing error, number of satellites in
view, time to first fix, and time to first
reacquisition, that were collected from a
number of GPS devices at a baseline
condition (no LTE signals present) and
over a large range of LTE signal power
levels. Subsequent data processing
yielded a set of 3,859 anonymized data
files (780 MB) that may be requested

this NASTCN project, including the
document library and the archived draft
test plan, the revised test plan,
adjudicated comments, and
supplemental information, is available
at: https://www.nist.gov/programsprojects/impact-lte-signals-gpsreceivers.
Due to significant interest in these
measurements by regulators for
assessing LTE signals on performance of
GPS devices, Federal agencies, and the
GPS community, NASCTN is hosting a
public meeting to provide an overview
of the project, the test methodology and
the test results. NASCTN will also
answer questions on the project, the
testing methodology and the test results.
The final agenda for the public meeting
will be posted on the NASCTN Web
page, available at: https://www.nist.gov/
communications-technology-laboratoryctl/nasctn.
Admittance Instructions: Anyone
wishing to attend the NASCTN ‘‘LTE
Impact on GPS Devices’’ public meeting

nist.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on Tuesday, May, 2 2017. Please

accessible via WebEx for those who are
unable to participate in person. If you

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion during the
post-Data Workshop webinar are as
follows:
Panelists will present finalized data
for review and recommendation.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
