March 2009. Fishing activity is
currently taking place through
December 2008 and researchers would
like to continue in March 2009, but will
need this revised exemption to do so. It
is expected that this location, within the
RCA, would provide access to large
monkfish and would avoid gear
interactions between the research gillnet
gear and trawl gear. The need to switch
RCA exemptions is due to the change in
location and vessel from the original
research proposal. Allowing an
exemption in RCA I rather than RCA III
will provide consistency with the rest of
the research that is being conducted in
that area and will avoid further delays
in the project.
The applicant may request minor
modifications and extensions to the EFP
throughout the year. EFP modifications
and extensions may be granted without
further notice if they are deemed
essential to facilitate completion of the
proposed research and have minimal
impacts that do not change the scope or
impact of the initially approved EFP
request. Any fishing activity conducted
outside the scope of the exempted
fishing activity would be prohibited.

Background
In January of 2002, in his State of the
Union Address, President Bush called
E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM
12DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 240 / Friday, December 12, 2008 / Notices
on all Americans to dedicate 4,000
hours or two years of their lives to
volunteer service. He created the USA
Freedom Corps, a coordinating office at
the White House to oversee these efforts
and to bring increased attention to the
ways in which the Administration could
work together to enhance opportunities
for all Americans to serve their
neighbors and their nation.
In support of the President’s call to
service, the Corporation created an
electronic Record of Service to provide
citizens a way to track their service
activities and individually record their
volunteer service hours. Use of this
tracking tool is 100 percent electronic in
that users establish a user ID and
password that automatically creates an
account which is only accessible to that
individual user. The Record of Service
can only be updated by the user who
established the account. The Record of
Service has received heavy public use
and is a primary way for individuals to
track their eligibility for the President’s
Volunteer Service Award.

tool through the USA Freedom Corps
