an agency cannot capture reliable
fingerprints. This section also
specifies a mandatory asymmetric
card authentication key as part of PIV
logical credentials and adds an
optional On-card biometric
comparison as a means of performing
card activation and PIV
authentication mechanism. The
section includes hooks for additional
keys if they are needed for secure
messaging. In addition, NIST
proposes that specific key references
and their use will be defined in a
future special publication.
—Section 4.1.7.1 is modified to allow a
PIN or equivalent verification data
(e.g., biometric data) to activate a PIV
Card to perform privileged operations.
The requirement that all PIV System
cryptographic modules be tested and
validated to FIPS 140–2 Security
Level 2 (logical) or Security Level 3
(physical) is not changed.
—Section 4.3 is modified to make the
NACI Indicator optional and to
deprecate its use. The NACI Indicator
originally was included in the PIV
Authentication Certificate to inform
relying systems that the background
investigation had not been completed
before issuing the PIV Card. Since the
issuance of FIPS 201–1, timely
completion of background
investigations has improved, online
status checking services are now
available, OPM requirements for
background investigations have been
revised, and OMB reporting
requirements are in place. These
improvements provide sufficient
controls to make the need for storing
NACI Indicator on the PIV Card
optional and to deprecate its use.
—Section 4.3 is modified to add an
option to include country(ies) of
citizenship of Foreign Nationals in the
PIV Authentication Certificate. This
change reflects the desirability of
electronically reading the affiliation of
Foreign Nationals.
—Section 4.5.3 is added to allow a
possible future inclusion of an
optional ISO/IEC 24727 profile that
enables middleware a degree of
independence from credential
interfaces and vice versa and thus
provides adaptability and resilience to
PIV card evolution.
—Sections 6.2.2, 6.2.3.1, and 6.2.3.2 are
modified to remove the qualifier
‘‘(Optional)’’ from the requirement for
signature verification and certificate
path validation in the CHUID, BIO,
and BIO–A authentication
mechanisms. These signature
verification and path validation
functions would be mandatory under
FIPS 201–2 to achieve the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

authentication assurance confidence
levels shown in Tables 6–2 and 6–3.
—Section 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 are added to
provide authentication mechanisms
based on optional PIV data elements.
Specifically, an On-card biometric
comparison authentication
mechanism is added in Section 6.2.5
and a symmetric card authentication
key authentication mechanism is
added in Section 6.2.6.
—Appendix A is removed.
FIPS 201–1 and Draft FIPS 201–2 are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
President George W. Bush established
the Marianas Trench Marine National
Monument (Monument) on January 6,
2009, by Presidential Proclamation
8335. The monument includes
approximately 95,216 square miles
within three units in the Mariana
Archipelago. The Mariana Trench Unit
is almost 1,100 miles long and 44 miles
wide and includes only the submerged
lands. The Volcanic Unit consists of
submerged lands around 21 undersea
mud volcanoes and thermal vents along
the Mariana Arc. The Islands Unit
includes only the waters and submerged
lands of the three northernmost Mariana
Islands: Farallon de Pajaros or Uracas;
Maug; and Asuncion, below the mean
low water line. Within the Islands Unit
of the monument, commercial fishing is
prohibited but sustenance, recreational,
and traditional indigenous fishing can
be allowed on a sustainable basis.
The Secretary of the Interior has
management responsibility for the
monument, in consultation with the
Secretary of Commerce who, through

08MRN1
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2011 / Notices
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), has primary
responsibility for managing fisheryrelated activities. These agencies are
required to consult with the Secretary of
Defense, the United States (U.S.) Coast
Guard, and the Government of the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands in managing the monument. A
subsequent Secretary of the Interior
action on January 16, 2009, delegated
management responsibilities for the
monument to the Fish and Wildlife
Service through, and placed two of the
units (the Mariana Trench and Volcanic
Units) within, the National Wildlife
Refuge System as the Mariana Trench
and Mariana Arc of Fire National
Wildlife Refuges.
Management activities are anticipated
to include public education programs
and public outreach regarding the coral
reef ecosystem and related marine
resources and species of the monument
and efforts to conserve them; traditional
access by indigenous persons, for
culturally significant subsistence,
cultural and religious uses within the
monument; a program to assess and
promote monument-related scientific
exploration and research, tourism, and
recreational and economic activities and
opportunities in the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI); a
process to consider requests for
recreational fishing permits in certain
areas of the Islands Unit, based on an
analysis of the likely effects of such
fishing on the marine ecosystems of
these areas, sound professional
judgment that such fishing will not
materially interfere with or detract from
the fulfillment of the purposes of this
proclamation, and the extent to which
such recreational fishing shall be
managed as a sustainable activity;
programs for monitoring and
enforcement necessary to ensure that
scientific exploration and research,
tourism, and recreational and
commercial activities do not degrade the
monument’s coral reef ecosystem or
related marine resources or species or
diminish the monument’s natural
character.
The Human Dimensions Research
Program at NOAA Fisheries Pacific
Islands Fisheries Science Center is
initiating a survey to support
development of a management plan for
the Monument. Designation of the
Monument was accompanied by social
debate over the merits of designation,
the economic benefits, increased
Federal management in the archipelago,
the impacts to fishermen and fishing
communities, and other effects. Now
that the Monument has been established
and management planning is beginning,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:12 Mar 07, 2011
Jkt 223001
there is a need for research to define
CNMI and Guam residents’ management
preferences and perceptions of effects so
this information is available to managers
as they develop and begin to implement
the plan. The survey contains questions
on awareness, knowledge, and attitudes
regarding the Monument, preferences
for management and scientific research,
and level of interest in becoming
involved in Monument management
and outreach activities. Additional
questions include experiences with and
attitudes toward existing uses of coastal
and marine resources, to provide a
context for interpreting responses
regarding the Monument.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected through a
telephone survey of a random sample of
adult members of Guam and CNMI
households.

OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
