Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 226 / Friday, November 23, 2012 / Notices
removed from the HCP. Volume I of the
FEIS incorporates all changes to the
text, tables, and figures that were
completed following the public review
and comment period.
The FEIS analyzes three alternatives
including the issuance of ITPs and the
implementation of the proposed HCP
described above. The issuance of 50year take permits and Applicant
implementation of the proposed HCP is
considered the Preferred Alternative.
Two other alternatives being considered
by the Services include the following:
Under the No Action Alternative, the
Services would not issue incidental take
permits for implementation of the HCP.
As a result, the Applicant would likely
seek individual incidental take
authorization as needed for new projects
and ongoing operations that would
result in the take of federally listed
species.
Under the California Tiger
Salamander Only Alternative, Stanford
would prepare a HCP only for the
California tiger salamander, and obtain
section 10 authorization only for the
take of California tiger salamander.
Future development and ongoing
activities that would result in the take
of other listed species would be
permitted individually, as needed.

Public Comments
The Services invite the public to
review the final HCP, final IA, and FEIS
during a 30-day public waiting period
[see DATES and SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION]. All comments and
materials received, including names and
addresses, will become part of the
administration record and may be
released to the public. Our practice is to
make comments, including names,
home addresses, home telephone
numbers, and email addresses of
respondents available for public review.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so. This notice is provided pursuant
to section 10(c) of the ESA and
regulations for implementing NEPA, as
amended (40 CFR 1506.6). We provide
this notice in order to allow the public,
agencies, or other organizations to
review and comment on these
documents.

Next Steps
The Services will evaluate the
applications, associated documents, and
public comments submitted to them to
prepare their respective Records of
Decision (RODs). Any comments
received during this 30-day period will
be considered during the Services’
decision-making process. A permit
decision will be made no sooner than 30
days after the publication of EPA’s
notice of the FEIS and completion of the
RODs.

70149
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (GMFMC), in
conjunction with NOAA Fisheries, has
implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process,
including a workshop and Webinars;
and (3) Review Workshop. The product
of the Data Workshop is a data report
which compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the GMFMC, NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, and
the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science
Center. Participants include: data
collectors and database managers; stock
assessment scientists, biologists, and
researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
