U.S. Provisional Patent Application
No. 61,623/957 is co-owned by the U.S.
government, as represented by the
Secretary of Commerce, George Mason
University, and the University of
Maryland. This invention is a chemical
sensor architecture that combines the
sensitive transduction capability of
semiconducting nanostructures together
with the enhanced catalytic efficiency of
metal and metal-oxide nanoclusters.
Nanowire-nanocluster hybrid chemical
sensors are realized by functionalizing
gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires (NWs)
with titanium dioxide (TiO2)
nanolusters for selectively sensing
benzene and other related aromatic
compounds. The Hybrid sensor devices
are made by fabricating two-terminal
devices using individual GaN NWs
followed by the deposition of TiO2
nanoclusters using RF magnetron
sputtering. The sensor fabrication
process employed standard
microfabrication techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS is
charged with the recovery of Pacific
salmon and steelhead species listed
under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA). Recovery means that listed
species and their ecosystems are
restored, and their future secured, so
that the protections of the ESA are no
longer necessary. The ESA specifies that
recovery plans must include: (1) A
description of management actions
necessary to achieve the plan’s goals for
the conservation and survival of the
species; (2) objective, measurable
criteria which, when met, would result
in the species being removed from the
list; and (3) estimates of time and costs
required to achieve the plan’s goal and
the intermediate steps towards that goal.
Section 4(f) of the ESA, as amended in
1988, requires that public notice and an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The items
of discussion in the committee’s agenda
are as follows:
The Groundfish Oversight Committee
will meet to continue development of
Framework Adjustment 48 to the
Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan. The Committee will
review all options that have been
developed and may select preferred
alternatives for this action. Measures in
the framework include specifications for
Fishing Year 2013–15, additional subAnnual Catch Limits, measures that
address monitoring issues for
groundfish sectors, changes to
accountability measures, recreational
fishing measures, and measures that
would allow limited access to existing
year-round groundfish closed areas. The
Committee will also review suggested
Council priorities for 2013, and may
develop recommendations for those
priorities. The Committee will also
consider developing possible mitigation
measures for the low catch levels
expected in Fishing Year 2013, such as
recommending the Council pursue
measures to increase landings of skates,
dogfish, and monkfish. Committee
recommendations will be considered by
the Council at the November Council
meeting. Other business may be
discussed.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.
