SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
response to Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, the
NIST Computer Security Division
initiated a new program for improving
the identification and authentication of
Federal employees and contractors for
access to Federal facilities and
information systems. Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
201, entitled Personal Identity
Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees
and Contractors, was developed to
satisfy the requirements of HSPD 12,
approved by the Secretary of Commerce,
and issued on February 25, 2005.
To meet the interoperability
requirements as specified in HSPD–12
and implemented in FIPS 201 and
associated Special Publications (SP),
NIST has established the NIST Personal
Identity Verification Program (NPIVP) to
certify interoperable Personal Identity
Verification (PIV) components and subsystems.
In furtherance of NPIVP, the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP) is establishing a
program for laboratories that test PIV
components and sub-systems for
conformance to the interoperability
requirements of FIPS 201 and associated
special publications.
NVLAP accreditation criteria are
established in accordance with the Code
of Federal Regulations (15 CFR part
285), NVLAP Procedures and General
Requirements. Laboratories conducting
this testing will be required to meet
ISO/IEC International Standard 17025,
general requirements for the
competence of testing and calibration
laboratories. For each new laboratory
accreditation program (LAP), NVLAP
works with the affected testing
community to develop program-specific
technical requirements. These
requirements tailor the general
accreditation criteria referenced in
Sections 4 and 5 of NIST Handbook 150
to the test and services in the new LAP.
Program-specific requirements include
the details of the scope of accreditation,
test and measurement equipment,

SUMMARY: The North Pacific Fishery
Management Council’s (Council)
Halibut Stakeholder Committee will
meet in Anchorage, AK.
DATES: The meeting will be held on
February 27–28, 2006.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at
the Anchorage Hilton Hotel, 500 West
3rd Avenue, Birch-Willow Room,
Anchorage, AK 99501.
Council address: North Pacific
Fishery Management Council, 605 W.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane
DiCosimo, Council staff, telephone:
(907) 271–2809.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Halibut Stakeholder Committee will
develop two alternatives for the long
term management of the halibut charter
fishery. The alternatives would be
considered by the North Pacific Council
at its April 5–11, 2006 meeting. The
committee will identify common
principles and goals to develop a
problem statement and define two
alternatives for a future analysis. One
alternative would be an allocation based
program. Elements to be included in the
plan should include, but not be limited
to: (1) A percentage based allocation
that would float up and down with
abundance in a fashion similar to the
commercial longline Total Allowable
Catch (TAC); (2) Subdivision of Area 2C
and 3A into smaller geographic subdistricts, including time certain
establishment of local area management

plans (LAMPs) and super-exclusive
registration areas; (3) Management
measures that will be used to enforce
the allocation, including: a) the current
suite of measures to reduce harvests
under the Guideline Harvest Level
(GHL) (i.e., one trip per vessel per day,
no harvest by skipper and crew, and
annual limit of 5 or 6 fish per person
(for Area 2C only));(b) Measures being
pursued by the State of Alaska in 2006,
including: (i) a halibut reporting
requirement in charter boat logbooks
with methodology to ensure accuracy;
(ii) a proposed regulation to the Board
of Fish to prohibit retention or harvest
of fish by skipper and crew members
when clients are on board; and (iii) limit
the number of lines fished to the
number of clients; (c) Other annual bag
limits; (d) Limitations on days fished
(either total number of days or by
excluding specific days of the week); (e)
Reduced daily limits including size
limitations for the second fish caught; (f)
Subtraction of any allocation
exceedence from the following year’s
allocation; (g) Federal moratorium or
control date of December 9, 2006 and/
or a State limited entry program with
delayed transferability; (h) Mechanisms
which, if the charter harvest continues
to grow, would allow for an orderly and
compensated allocation shift from the
longline sector to the charter sector,
including the use of a charter stamp,
which would generate funds to pay for
management of the charter fishery and
to buy longline shares to be converted
into the charter allocation; (i)
Exploration of delegation of some
management aspects of the halibut sport
fishery, including the charter sector, to
the State of Alaska.
A second alternative would be a
modified Individual Fishing Quota
(IFQ) program, including, but not be
limited to: (1) The elements of the
previously proposed (2001) charter IFQ
program; (2) A modified IFQ program,
including, but not be limited to,
addressing potential legal
vulnerabilities that may exist in the
2001 IFQ program. Such approaches
might include a ‘‘leveling’’ plan, other
effort based mechanisms to update 1998
and 1999 history, new history
approaches, an effort based transferable
seat program, or other options; (3)
Subdivision of Area 2C and 3A into
smaller geographic sub-districts,
including time certain establishment of
LAMPs; (4) The use of a moratorium or
control date of December 9, 2006; and
(5) Other elements to be identified by
the committee.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
