alcohols, hydrocarbons, and an oxidant,
such as air or oxygen, to direct current
(d.c.) power, heat, and other reaction
products.
Fuel cell cartridge or Fuel cartridge
means a removable article that contains
and supplies fuel to the micro fuel cell
power unit or internal reservoir, not to
be refilled by the user.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce the
availability of nine new United States
Geological Survey (USGS) reports
produced for the Service to provide
current data and modeling outputs
relevant to the final determination of
whether the polar bear (Ursus
maritimus) qualifies for listing under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). We intend to take these
reports into consideration as we make
our final listing determination on the
polar bear. We also are reopening the
public comment period on the January
9, 2007, proposed rule to list the polar
bear as threatened throughout its range
under the Act (72 FR 1064). We are
reopening the comment period for an
additional 15 days to allow interested
parties to comment on the nine USGS
reports listed below. The comment
period is being limited to 15 days
because of the statutory deadline, which
requires a final listing determination
within one year of publication of the
proposed rule, unless an extension of up
to six months is granted due to
substantial disagreement regarding the
sufficiency or accuracy of the available
data relevant to the determination.
Please note that comments previously
submitted should not be resubmitted.
This comment period is open only for
comments on the nine USGS reports
listed below. Comments submitted
during the prior comment period have
been incorporated into the public record
and will be fully considered during
preparation of our final determination.
DATES: We will accept public comments
until October 5, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
and materials to us by any one of the
following methods:
(1) You may mail or hand-deliver
written comments and information to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 9, 2007 (72 FR 1064), the
Service published a 12-month petition
finding and proposed rule to list the
polar bear (Ursus maritimus) as
threatened throughout its range under
the Act. The document announced a 3month public comment period on the
proposed rule, which closed on April 9,
2007. We also held three public
hearings during the proposed rule’s
comment period, as announced in the
February 15, 2007, Federal Register (72
FR 7381).
On September 7, 2007, the Service
received nine reports prepared by the
USGS that provide new data and
modeling outputs relevant to the final
determination of whether the polar bear
qualifies for listing as threatened or
endangered under the Act. These
reports are:
(1) Polar Bear Population Status in the
Northern Beaufort Sea by Stirling et al.
(2) Polar Bear Population Status in
Southern Hudson Bay Canada by
Obbard et al.
(3) Polar Bears in the Southern

reopening the comment period for 15
days to provide the public the
opportunity to provide comments or

asking for public comments on these
reports and a review of the extent to
which they add to the knowledge base
for making the final decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 303(a)(11) of the MagnusonStevens Act requires that all FMPs
‘‘establish a standardized reporting
methodology to assess the amount and
type of bycatch occurring in the
fishery.’’ In 2004, several conservation
organizations challenged the approval of
two major amendments to Northeast
Region FMPs. In ruling on these suits,
the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia found that the FMPs did not
clearly establish an SBRM as required
under the relevant section of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and remanded
the amendments back to the agency to
fully develop and establish the required
SBRM. In particular, the Court found
that the amendments (1) failed to fully
evaluate reporting methodologies to
assess bycatch, (2) did not mandate an
SBRM, and (3) failed to respond to
potentially important scientific
evidence.
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

In response, the Councils, working
closely with NMFS, undertook
development of a remedy that would
address all Northeast Region FMPs. The
Councils took final action to adopt the
SBRM Amendment at their meetings in
June 2007, and submitted the
amendment for review shortly
thereafter. This amendment covers 13
FMPs, 39 managed species, and 14 types
of fishing gear. The purpose of the
amendment is to: Explain the methods
and processes by which bycatch is
currently monitored and assessed for
Northeast Region fisheries; determine
whether these methods and processes
need to be modified and/or
supplemented; establish standards of
precision for bycatch estimation for all
Northeast Region fisheries; and, thereby,
document the SBRM established for all
fisheries managed through the FMPs of
the Northeast Region. The amendment
also responds to the ‘‘potentially
important scientific evidence’’ cited by
the Court in the two decisions
referenced above.
On July 26, 3007 (72 FR 41047),
NMFS published a notice of availability
that requested comments on the SBRM
Amendment and draft Environmental
Assessment. The comment period on
the notice of availability closes on
September 24, 2007. On August 21,
2007 (72 FR 46588), NMFS published a
proposed rule that requested comments
on the regulations to implement the
SBRM Amendment. The comment
period on the proposed rule was
scheduled to close on September 20,
2007. In order to provide the maximum
opportunity for the public to review and
provide comments on the proposed rule
to implement the SBRM Amendment,
NMFS is extending the comment period
on the proposed rule to 5 p.m. on
September 24, 2007. With this
extension, both comment periods will
end at the same time.
Dated: September 17, 2007.
