Landmarks Committee of the National Park System Advisory Board Meeting, 56604-56605 [E8-22732]

Download as PDF mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES 56604 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 189 / Monday, September 29, 2008 / Notices medical conditions (enclosure (3)) or the inability to meet the physical ability standards (enclosure (2)). This was added to articulate the Coast Guard’s flexibility and willingness to consider the unique needs and work environments of individual mariners who are otherwise unable to meet the medical and/or physical standards specified in the NVIC. Finally, at the request of both MERPAC and TSAC, a new paragraph 11 was added to this enclosure authorizing—but not requiring—the Coast Guard to designate certain medical practitioners as ‘‘trusted agents’’ to perform physical examinations on mariners. Physical examinations conducted by these designated trusted agents and/or their recommendations may be given more weight by the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard would specify the criteria for designation as a trusted agent if/when the Coast Guard initiates this program. It is not anticipated that the NVIC will result in significantly higher rates of disqualification for mariners, nor in increased processing time for credential applications with physical and/or medical issues. To the contrary, the Coast Guard expects the process to be more consistent and less subjective, and that the application processing time will be reduced because all parties will know precisely what information is needed at the outset of the application process. The Coast Guard did receive some comments that the NVIC may increase costs. Based on consultation with medical practitioners and MERPAC, we determined exams and documentation addressed by the NVIC are commonly required by current medical practice and will not represent a significant additional cost to the individual. The NVIC guidelines apply if the applicant has an underlying medical condition. The majority of medical evaluations and tests specified in the NVIC will be provided by the mariner’s primary care provider or specialist as part of standard care. Potential benefits associated with adoption of this NVIC include decreased credential application processing time and clearer medical and physical guidelines for merchant mariners. We also anticipate that public safety will improve as result of this NVIC, since mariners and the medical community would be aware of complete policy guidance that is consistent with current industry health care practice when evaluating medical conditions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, hereinafter referred to as CITES or the Convention, is an international treaty designed to regulate international trade in certain animal and plant species that are now or potentially may be threatened with extinction. These species are listed in the Appendices to CITES, which are available on the CITES Secretariat’s Web site at https://www.cites.org/eng/app/ index.shtml. Currently, 173 countries, including the United States, are Parties to CITES. The Convention calls for biennial meetings of the Conference of the Parties, which review its PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56605 implementation, make provisions enabling the CITES Secretariat in Switzerland to carry out its functions, consider amendments to the list of species in Appendices I and II, consider reports presented by the Secretariat, and make recommendations for the improved effectiveness of CITES. Any country that is a Party to CITES may propose amendments to Appendices I and II, resolutions, decisions, and agenda items for consideration by all the Parties at the meeting. This is our first in a series of Federal Register notices that, together with announced public meetings, provide you with an opportunity to participate in the development of the U.S. submissions to and negotiating positions for the fifteenth regular meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (CoP15). Our regulations governing this public process are found in 50 CFR 23.87. Announcement of the Fifteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties We hereby notify you of the convening of CoP15, which is tentatively scheduled to be held in late January 2010 in Doha, Qatar. U.S. Approach for CoP15 What are the priorities for U.S. submissions to CoP15? Priorities for U.S. submissions to CoP15 continue to be consistent with the overall objective of U.S. participation in the Convention: to maximize the effectiveness of the Convention in the conservation and sustainable use of species subject to international trade. With this in mind, we plan to consider the following factors in determining what issues to submit for inclusion in the agenda at CoP15: (1) Does the proposed action address a serious wildlife trade issue that the United States is experiencing as a range country for species in trade? Since our primary responsibility is the conservation of our domestic wildlife resources, we will give native species highest priority. We will place particular emphasis on terrestrial and freshwater species with the majority of their range in the United States and its territories that are or may be traded in significant numbers; marine species that occur in U.S. waters or for which the United States is a major exporter; and threatened and endangered species for which we and other Federal and State agencies already have statutory responsibility for protection and recovery. We also consider CITES listings as a proactive measure to E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM 29SEN1
