within the same state or region,
especially those for tribes that are of
similar size. A SDTSA encompasses a
compact and contiguous area that
contains a concentration of individuals
who identify with the state-recognized
tribe and within which there is
structured and organized tribal activity.
Referred to as state-designated
American Indian statistical areas
(SDAISAs) in Census 2000.
State recognition or staterecognized—Refers to American Indian
tribes and associated geographic areas
that are specifically recognized by a
state government through treaty
(generally with one of the original
thirteen colonial assemblies and/or
Great Britain), state legislation, or other
formal process. State recognition of a
tribe is determined by each respective
state government, and conveyed to the
Census Bureau by the governor’s
appointed liaison.
Statistical geographic entity or
statistical area—A geographic entity
specifically defined for the collection
and/or tabulation of statistical data from
the Census Bureau. Statistical entities
are not generally established by law and
their designation by the Census Bureau
neither conveys nor confers legal
ownership, entitlement, jurisdiction, or
governmental authority. Tribal
statistical geographic entities include
ANVSAs, OTSAs, TDSAs, and SDTSAs,
among others.
Surface estate—That portion of the
interest, ownership, or property in land
that resides on the earth’s surface, as
distinguished from the subsurface estate
(for example, mineral rights). The
Census Bureau collects the boundaries
of ORTLs where the surface estate is
held in trust; it does not collect the
boundaries where only the subsurface
estate is held in trust.
Tribal block group—Block groups
defined on AIRs and ORTL that are
separate from, and in addition to,
standard state/county/census tract
hierarchy block groups, maintained and
presented within the Census Bureau’s
American Indian geographic hierarchy,
and are defined through the TSAP by
tribal primary participants. These are in
all respects the functional and
programmatic equivalent to standard
block groups and should be treated as
such. They were developed to further
enhance the data available for federally
recognized American Indian tribes with
an AIR or ORTL. (See also Block group)
Tribal census tracts (tribal tracts)—
Census tracts defined on AIRs and
ORTL that are separate from, and in
addition to, standard state/county
hierarchy census tracts, maintained and
presented within the Census Bureau’s

American Indian geographic hierarchy,
and are defined through the TSAP by
tribal primary participants. These are in
all respects the functional and
programmatic equivalent to standard
census tracts and should be treated as
such. They were developed to further
enhance the data available for federally
recognized American Indian tribes with
an AIR or ORTL. (See also Census tract)
Tribal-designated statistical area
(TDSA)—A statistical geographic entity
identified and delineated for the Census
Bureau by a federally recognized
American Indian tribe that does not
currently have an AIR and/or ORTL. A
TDSA is intended to be comparable to
the AIRs within the same state or region,
especially those for tribes that are of
similar size. A TDSA encompasses a
compact and contiguous area that
contains a concentration of individuals
who identify with the delineating
federally recognized American Indian
tribe, and within which there is
structured and organized tribal activity.
Although two TDSAs were delineated
within Alaska for Census 2000, TDSAs
will not be delineated within Alaska for
the 2010 Census. All ANVs eligible to
delineate TDSAs within Alaska for
Census 2000 are eligible consider
delineating an ANVSA within Alaska
for the 2010 Census.
Tribal jurisdiction statistical area
(TJSA)—A statistical entity identified
and delineated for the 1990 Census to
provide a geographic frame of reference
for the presentation of statistical data.
TJSA boundaries were required to
follow census block boundaries and
were based upon the boundaries of the
former AIRs of federally recognized
tribes in Oklahoma. The 1990 Census
TJSAs essentially were defined in the
same manner as planned for the OTSAs
in Census 2000; the descriptive
designation is being changed for Census
2000 to correct the impression that these
statistical entities conveyed or conferred
any jurisdictional authority.
Tribal Statistical Areas Program
(TSAP)—New for the 2010 Census, the
TSAP is intended to consolidate the
various AIAN statistical geographic
entities into one program. New
delineations, updates, and redelineations of the various tribal
statistical geographic entities, including
ANVSAs, tribal tracts, and tribal block
groups, will all be processed through
the TSAP.
Tribal subdivision—An
administrative subdivision of a federally
recognized AIR, ORTs, or OTSA;
variously known as chapters,
communities, or districts. These entities
are internal units of self-government or
administration that serve social,
PO 00000

cultural, and/or economic purposes for
the American Indians on the AIR,
ORTLs, or OTSAs.
Visible feature—A map feature that
can be seen on the ground such as a
road, railroad track, major aboveground
transmission line or pipeline, river,
stream, shoreline, fence, sharply defined
mountain ridge, or cliff. Nonstandard
visible features are a subset of visible
features that may not be clearly defined
on the ground (such as a ridge), may be
seasonal (such as an intermittent
stream), or may be relatively
impermanent (such as a fence). The
Census Bureau generally requests
verification that a nonstandard visible
feature used as a boundary for a
statistical geographic entity poses no
problem for census enumerators in
locating it during fieldwork.
Executive Order 12866
This Notice has been determined to be
not significant under Executive Order
12866.
Paperwork Reduction Act
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current, valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. In
accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.,
Chapter 35, the Census Bureau
requested, and the OMB granted its
clearance for the information collection
requirements for geographic partnership
programs on September 24, 2008 (OMB
Control Number 0607–0795, expires on
March 31, 2009). The Census Bureau’s
request for an extension of this
clearance until March 31, 2009, was
sent to the OMB on September 9, 2008.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces its intent to
issue Exempted Fishing Permits (EFPs),
Scientific Research Permits (SRPs),
Display Permits, Letters of
Acknowledgment (LOAs), and
Chartering Permits for the collection of
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) in 2009. In general, EFPs and
related permits would authorize
collections of a limited number of tunas,
swordfish, billfishes, and sharks from
Federal waters in the Atlantic Ocean,
Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico for
the purposes of scientific data collection
and public display. Chartering permits
allow the collection of HMS in the high
seas or in the Exclusive Economic Zone
of other nations. Generally, these
permits will be valid from the date of
issuance through December 31, 2009,
unless otherwise specified, subject to
the terms and conditions of individual
permits.

Written comments on these
activities received in response to this
notice will be considered by NMFS
when issuing EFPs and related permits
and must be received on or before
December 15, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted by any of the following
methods:
• Email: HMSEFP.2009@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line the following
identifier: 0648– XK60.
• Mail: Craig Cockrell, Highly
Migratory Species Management Division
(F/SF1), NMFS, 1315 East–West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
• Fax: (301) 713–1917.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Craig Cockrell, phone: (301) 713–2347,
fax: (301) 713–1917 or Jackie Wilson,
phone: (240) 338–3936.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Issuance
of EFPs and related permits are
necessary for the collection of HMS for
public display and scientific research
because regulations (e.g., seasons,
prohibited species, authorized gear, and
minimum sizes) may prohibit the
collection of live animals or biological
samples for these purposes. Collection
for scientific research and display
represents a small portion of the overall
fishing mortality for HMS, and this
mortality will be counted against the
quota of the species harvested, as
appropriate. The terms and conditions
of individual permits are unique;
however, all permits will include
reporting requirements, limit the
number and species of HMS to be
collected, and only authorize collection
in Federal waters of the Atlantic Ocean,
Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea.
EFPs and related permits are issued
under the authority of the Magnuson–
Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Reauthorization Act
(Magnuson–Stevens Act) (16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.) and/or the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (ATCA) (16 U.S.C. 971
et seq.). Regulations at 50 CFR 600.745
and 50 CFR 635.32 govern scientific
research activity, exempted fishing,
chartering arrangements, and exempted
educational activities with respect to
Atlantic HMS. Since the Magnuson–
Stevens Act does not consider scientific
research to be ‘‘fishing,’’ scientific
research is exempt from this statute, and
NMFS does not issue EFPs for bona fide
research activities (e.g., research
conducted from a research vessel and
not a commercial or recreational fishing
vessel) involving species that are only
regulated under the Magnuson–Stevens
Act (i.e., sharks) and not under ATCA.
NMFS requests copies of scientific
research plans for these activities and
