SUMMARY: In January 2007, Charting the
Course for Ocean Science in the United
States for the Next Decade: An Ocean
Research Priorities Plan and
Implementation Strategy (Charting the
Course) was published. Charting the
Course was based on input gathered
from public and private sources over a
period of several months, and it has
provided a basis for coordinated ocean
science and technology investments. In
view of scientific advancements and
recognition of new ocean management
challenges, the Joint Subcommittee on
Ocean Science and Technology (JSOST)
is embarking upon an effort to update
and refresh Charting the Course. This
notice solicits public input to inform the
drafting of an updated Charting the
Course.
DATES: Public comments must be
received by July 17, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Only electronic (e-mail)
comments will be accepted. Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This national plan, released in
January of 2007, is intended to present
ocean research priorities that focus on
the most compelling issues in key areas
of interaction between society and the
ocean. The goal of Charting the Course
is to formulate priorities for ocean
science and technology initiatives
across the wide scope of societal
interests and to define the fundamental
principles for guiding actions and
programs in support of the research
priorities. This document also provides
guidance on how the various ocean
science sectors (government, academia,
industry, and non-governmental
entities) can and should be engaged,
individually or through partnerships, to
address the areas of greatest research
priority and opportunity.
Charting the Course was developed
through a collaborative effort involving
academia, industry, non-governmental
organizations, state and local
governments, and anyone with an
interest in ocean issues. The JSOST also
developed a series of public and
conference information sessions to
provide updates on the development of
the national ocean research priorities.
Charting the Course concisely gathers
together and lays out in a single
document the issues and priorities
agreed to across the ocean sciences
community. It has supported the
creation of programs and projects where
there were none, and it has guided
priorities in federal agency budget
submissions beginning in Fiscal Year
2008 and continuing through the latest
budget submission, Fiscal Year 2010.
The JSOST recognizes the need to
harness momentum and magnify this
progress.
In the two and a half years since
Charting the Course was released, much
has changed in the understanding of the
ocean, its processes and its role in the
Earth system as a whole. Much has also
changed in our ability to access,
explore, observe, and model the ocean

and its communities. In light of these
changes, and based on encouragement
and input from the federal ocean
community’s external advisory body—
the Ocean Research and Resources
Advisory Panel (ORRAP)—and the
Office of Science and Technology
Policy, the JSOST is building a way
forward to refresh Charting the Course
and revisit the priorities it sets forth.
The first and most critical step in this
way forward is reaching out to all
interested parties for comments on how
the current priorities should be revised
for the refreshed Charting the Course.
For example, are there issues that
should be listed as priorities under the
current six societal themes? Are there
important areas that the original
Charting the Course did not capture? As
with developing Charting the Course,
the JSOST considers community input
and involvement in updating the
national ocean research priorities a vital
component in the process. JSOST is also
working with ORRAP to additionally
ensure proper community input and
communication. All input received will
be compiled, cataloged and thoroughly
considered by the federal agency writing
teams tasked with crafting a refreshed
look at our nation’s ocean research
priorities.
The JSOST is requesting input in this
community effort to revise, update and
focus Charting the Course. Please
provide complete contact information
(name, affiliation, physical address,
phone, e-mail) and note which of the
following Charting the Course themes
your comments address:
• Stewardship of our natural and
cultural ocean resources
• Increasing resilience to natural
hazards
• Enabling marine operations
• The ocean’s role in climate
• Improving ecosystem health
• Enhancing human health
• Other
You may also elect to provide
comments on the following Charting the
Course cross-cutting areas:
• Observations and Infrastructure
• Ocean Education
• Enhancing Basic Understanding
The input obtained through this
process will be fully considered as the
JSOST drafts the updated Charting the
Course.

In the Matter of Petro America Corp.;
Order of Suspension of Trading
June 18, 2009.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of Petro
America Corp. (‘‘Petro America’’)
(trading symbol: PTRZ) because of
questions regarding the accuracy and
adequacy of assertions by Petro America
concerning, among other things: The
company’s business operations and
assets, including regarding its purported
oil trading and storage business and
holdings, its purported millions of
dollars in assets, and its securities
issued and outstanding.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading
in securities related to the above
company.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in the
securities of the above-listed company is
suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m.
