SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
Section 302(g)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., states that
each Council shall establish such
advisory panels as are necessary or
appropriate to assist it in carrying out its
functions under the Act. For the
purposes of this section in the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, NMFS
considers the Council provision to be
applicable to the HMS Management
Division. As such, NMFS has
established the SEDAR Pool under this
section. The SEDAR Pool currently
consists of 30 individuals who can be
selected to review data and advise
NMFS regarding the scientific
information, including but not limited
to data and models, used in stock
assessments for oceanic sharks in the
Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and
Caribbean Sea. While the SEDAR Pool
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
was created specifically for Atlantic
oceanic sharks, it may be expanded to
include other HMS, as needed.
The primary purpose of the
individuals in the SEDAR Pool is to
review, at SEDAR workshops, the
scientific information, including but not
limited to data and models, used in
stock assessments that are used to
advise NMFS, as a delegate to the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary),
about the conservation and management
of the Atlantic HMS, specifically but not
limited to, Atlantic sharks. Individuals
in the SEDAR Pool, if selected, may
participate in the various data,
assessment, and review workshops
during the SEDAR process of any HMS
stock assessment. In order to ensure that
the peer review is unbiased, individuals
who participated in a data and/or
assessment workshop for a particular
stock assessment will not be allowed to
serve as reviewers for the same stock
assessment. However, these individuals
may be asked to attend the review
workshop to answer specific questions
from the reviewers concerning the data
and/or assessment workshops. Members
of the SEDAR Pool may serve as
members of other APs concurrent with,
or following, their service on the SEDAR
Pool.
Procedures and Guidelines
A. Participants
The SEDAR Pool is comprised of
individuals representing the commercial
and recreational fishing communities
for Atlantic HMS, the environmental
community active in the conservation
and management of Atlantic HMS, and
the academic community that have
relevant expertise either with sharks or
shark-like species and/or stock
assessment methodologies for marine
fish species. Members of the SEDAR
Pool must have demonstrated
experience in the fisheries, related
industries, research, teaching, writing,
conservation, or management of marine
organisms. The distribution of
representation among the interested
parties is not defined or limited.
Additional members of the SEDAR
Pool may also include representatives
from each of the five Atlantic Regional
Fishery Management Councils, each of
the 18 constituent states, both the U.S.
Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and
each of the constituent interstate
commissions: the Atlantic States Marine
Fisheries Commission and the Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commission.
If NMFS requires additional members
to ensure a diverse pool of individuals
to draw from for data or assessment
workshops, NMFS may request
E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM
24OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2011 / Notices
individuals to become members of the
SEDAR Pool outside of the annual
nomination period.
Panel members serve at the discretion
of the Secretary. Not all members will
attend each SEDAR workshop. Rather,
NMFS will invite certain members to
participate at specific stock assessment
workshops dependent on their ability to
participate, discuss, and recommend
scientific decisions regarding the
species being assessed. If an invited
SEDAR Pool member is unable to attend
the workshop, the member may send a
designee who may represent them and
participate in the activities of the
workshop. In order to ensure the
designee meets the requirements of
participating in the data and/or
assessment workshop, the designee
must receive written approval of the
Director of the Office of Sustainable
Fisheries at least six weeks in advance
of the beginning of the relevant data
and/or assessment workshop. Written
notification must include the name,
address, telephone, e-mail, and position
of the individual designated. A designee
may not name another designee.
NMFS is not obligated to fulfill any
requests (e.g., requests for an assessment
of a certain species) that may be made
by the SEDAR Pool or its individual
members. Members of the SEDAR Pool
who are invited to attend stock
assessment workshops will not be
compensated for their services but may
be reimbursed for their travel-related
expenses to attend such workshops.
B. Nomination Procedures for
Appointments to the SEDAR Pool
Member tenure will be for 3 years.
Nominations are sought for terms
beginning February 2012 and expiring
January 2015. Nomination packages
should include:
1. The name, address, phone number,
and e-mail of the applicant or nominee;
2. A description of his/her interest in
Atlantic shark stock assessments or the
Atlantic shark fishery;
3. A statement of background and/or
qualifications; and
4. A written commitment that the
applicant or nominee shall participate
actively and in good faith in the tasks
of the SEDAR Pool, as requested.
