for purposes of scientific research.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
17, 2006, notice was published in the
Federal Register (71 FR 13816) that a
request for a scientific research permit
to take loggerhead (Caretta caretta),
green (Chelonia mydas), Kemp’s ridley
(Lepidochelys kempii), hawksbill
(Eretmochelys imbricata), and
leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea
turtles had been submitted by the abovenamed organization. The requested
permit has been issued under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The NCDMF will be testing two types
of large mesh gillnets to ascertain which
type of net will reduce sea turtle
interactions while maintaining targeted
catch rates for southern flounder
(Paralichthys lethostigma). Both nets
will be constructed of 0.52 mm diameter
monofilament with 6–inch (15.2 cm)
mesh webbing, but the control net is 25
meshes deep while the low profile net
is twelve meshes deep. Control nets
have additional floatation every six feet
(1.8 m) and tie downs every 30 feet (9.1
m); experimental nets have neither.
NCDMF plans to conduct 150 paired net
deployments (one of each type of net).
To follow fishing protocols, nets will be
set at dusk and retrieved in the early
morning. Captured sea turtles will be
examined for any possible injuries and
held for approximately two hours to
ensure they are healthy before being
transported away from the fishing area
and released. Turtles will be identified
to species, measured, photographed,
and flipper and PIT tagged. Any
comatose or debilitated turtles will be
transported to a rehabilitation center.
During the life of the permit, the
applicant is authorized to capture 23
Kemp’s ridley, 23 loggerhead, 22 green,
2 hawksbill, and 2 leatherback sea
turtles. Of the captured turtles, 11
Kemp’s, 11 loggerhead, 11 green, 1
hawksbill, and 1 leatherback may be
mortalities. Research will be conducted
in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina and
the permit expires in December 2007.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of any endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Board for Education Sciences
is authorized by Section 116 of the
Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002.
The Board advises the Director of the
Institute of Education Sciences (IES) on
the establishment of activities to be
supported by the Institute, on the
funding of applications for grants,
contracts, and cooperative agreements
for research after the completion of peer
review, and reviews and evaluates the
work of the Institute. On September 21,
the Board will review the day’s agenda
and hear from the Director an update on
the work of the Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) as well as a plan to
implement the IES research priorities.
At 4 p.m. there will be a presentation,
‘‘Research Evidence Needed by
Education Policy Makers,’’ by Kati
Haycock, Director of the Education
Trust.
On September 21, after a review of the
prior day’s activities, there will be a
closed session from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
to review a statement of work for a
Congressionally mandated final report
evaluating the effectiveness of IES in
meeting its goals and objectives.

The meeting will reopen at 10:45 a.m.

Educational Research and Special
Education Research will follow. The
