The purpose of the roundtable is to discuss the development of an implementation profile for VoIP between radio system bridging solutions. The results of this and subsequent roundtable discussions will be used in the development of specific implementation profiles for VoIP usage in public-safety owned systems. There is no charge for the roundtable; however, because of meeting room restrictions, advance registration is mandatory and limited to three representatives from any one organization. There will be no on-site, same-day registration. The registration deadline is September 4, 2007. Please note registration and admittance instructions and other additional information under the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. DATES: The workshop will be held on September 11–12, 2007, from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. MT. ADDRESSES: The roundtable will be held in the Radio Building (Building 1), Room 1103/1105, 325 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to a request from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), Command, Control and Interoperability Division (C2I), Office of Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC), the NIST Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) is developing protocol implementation profiles for VoIP communications between public safety personnel. The request from OIC germinated from practitioner-raised issues related to VoIP-enabled solutions being marketed to the public safety community as an ‘‘interoperability solution,’’ yet these solutions will not interoperate with VoIP-enabled solutions from other VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:37 Aug 09, 2007 Jkt 211001 manufacturers making the same claim. The proper way to address this situation is to develop a protocol implementation profile (or set of profiles) that contains the minimum standards, parameters and values necessary to ensure that solutions developed by independent organizations will interoperate with each other. This roundtable discussion is intended to lead to the development of a protocol implementation profile for VoIP-enabled radio system bridging solutions.

The HIHWNMS Advisory Council was established in March 1996 to assure continued public participation in the management of the Sanctuary. Since its establishment, the Council has played a vital role in the decisions affecting the Sanctuary surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands. The Council’s twenty-four voting members represent a variety of local user groups, as well as the general public, plus ten local, state and federal governmental jurisdictions. Council is supported by three committees: a Research Committee chaired by the Research Representative, an Education Committee chaired by the Education Representative, and a Conservation Committee chaired by the Conservation Representative, each respectively dealing with matters concerning research, education and resource protection. The Council represents the coordination link between the Sanctuary and the state and federal management agencies, user groups, researchers, educators, policy makers, and other various groups that help to focus efforts and attention on the humpback whale and its habitat around the main Hawaiian Islands. The Council functions in an advisory capacity to the Sanctuary Manager and is instrumental in helping to develop policies and program goals, and to identify education, outreach, research, long-term monitoring, resource protection and revenue enhancement priorities. The Council works in concert with the Sanctuary Manager by keeping him or her informed about issues of concern throughout the Sanctuary, offering recommendations on specific issues, and aiding the Manager in achieving the goals of the Sanctuary program within the context of Hawai‘i’s marine programs and policies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Appeal

    Donald Williams filed a notice of appeal with the Secretary of 
Commerce pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16 
U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and implementing regulations found at 15 CFR Part 
930, Subpart H. Mr. Williams appeals an objection, filed by the State 
of New York, to a consistency determination prepared by Mr. Williams 
related to his proposed erosion project (stone rip-rap) along the 
shoreline of Lake Ontario, in Niagara County, New York.
    In the federal consistency appeal process, the Secretary may 
override the State's objection on grounds that the project is 
consistent with the objectives or purposes of the CZMA or necessary in 
the interest of national security. To make the determination that the 
proposed activity is ``consistent with objective or purposes'' of the 
CZMA, the Secretary must find that: (1) The proposed activity furthers 
the national interest as articulated in sections 302 or 303 of the 
CZMA, in a significant or substantial manner; (2) the adverse effects 
of the proposed activity do not outweigh its contribution to the 
national interest, when those effects are considered separately or 
cumulatively; and (3) no reasonable alternative is available that would 
permit the activity to be conducted in a manner consistent with 
enforceable policies of the state's coastal management program. 15 CFR 
930.121 (2005), as amended, 71 FR 787, 831 (Jan. 5, 2006). To make the 
determination that the proposed activity is ``necessary in the interest 
of national security,'' the Secretary must find that a national defense 
or other national security interest would be significantly impaired 
were the project not allowed to go forward. 15 CFR 930.121.
