from specific indicator species (e.g.,
Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic
white sided dolphins, pilot whales,
harbor porpoises), animals from mass
strandings, animals that have been
obtained incidental to commercial
fisheries, animals taken for subsistence
purposes, biopsies, and animals from
unusual mortality events through two
projects, the Marine Mammal Health

(MMHSRP) and the Alaska Marine
Mammal Tissue Archival Project
(AMMTAP).
The purposes of this collection of
information are: (1) To enable NOAA to
allow the scientific community the
opportunity to request tissue specimen
samples from the NMMTB and, (2) to
enable the Marine Mammal Health and
Stranding Response Program of NOAA
to assemble information on all
specimens submitted to the Marine
Environmental Specimen Bank (Marine
ESB), which includes the NMMTB.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents must complete a
specimen banking information sheet for
every sample submitted to the Bank.
Methods of submitting reports include
Internet, mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms. Those
requesting samples send the
information, and their research findings,
mainly via email.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0468.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; individuals or households;
business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50.
Estimated Time per Response:
Request for tissue sample, 2 hours;
specimen submission form, 45 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 155.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $152.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have 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 multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; and (2) a series of
assessment Webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a report which compiles
and evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses.
The product of the Assessment Webinar
Process is a report which compiles and
evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses;
and 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 Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and 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.
The items of discussion in the
Assessment Process Webinars are as
follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the Data Workshop, panelists will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population

benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
2. Panelists will recommend the most
appropriate methods and configurations
for determining stock status and
estimating population parameters.
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 intent to take final action
to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
