The Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary encompasses 842 square miles of ocean, stretching between Cape Ann and Cape Cod. Renowned for its scenic beauty and remarkable productivity, the sanctuary supports a rich diversity of marine life including 22 species of marine mammals, more than 30 species of seabirds, over 60 species of fishes, and hundreds of marine invertebrates and plants. The Commission has scheduled two meetings for the following dates: March 30, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. April 7, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. PLACE: Three Lafayette Center, 1155 21st St., NW., Washington, DC, Lobby Level Hearing Room (Room 1000). STATUS: Open. MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The Commission has scheduled these meetings to consider various rulemaking matters, including the issuance of proposed rules and the approval of final rules. The Commission may also consider and vote on dates and times for future meetings. Agendas for each of the scheduled meetings will be made available to the public and posted on the Commission’s Web site at https:// www.cftc.gov at least seven (7) days prior to the meeting. In the event that the times or dates of the meetings change, an announcement of the change, along with the new time and place of the meeting will be posted on the Commission’s website.

(Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog Number 11.429 Marine Sanctuary Program) tags), plastic headed dart tags, umbrella dart tags, Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, acoustic tags (transmitters), Pop-Up Archival transmitting (PAT) tags, and Smart Position Only Transmitting (SPOT) tags. Sampling also includes a small genetic tissue fin clip and blood sample. Finally, dead sawfish acquired through strandings or from law enforcement confiscations are also measured and sampled for scientific purposes. To increase tag retention and provide less invasive tagging techniques, the applicant is now requesting to replace plastic rototags, used to secure VEMCO acoustic transmitters, with neoprene clasp tags; and nylon umbrella darts, used to secure PAT tags, with dorsal fin harnesses. SPOT tags would also be excluded as a tagging method. Better data collection could provide increased insight into habitat usage pattern and accomplish actions items identified in the recovery plan for the species.
