Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Notices
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Section 315 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1445a)
allows the Secretary of Commerce to
establish one or more advisory councils
to provide advice to the Secretary
regarding the designation and
management of national marine
sanctuaries. Advisory councils are
individually chartered for each
sanctuary to meet the needs of that
sanctuary. Once an advisory council has
been chartered, the sanctuary
superintendent starts a process to
recruit members for that council by
providing notice to the public and
requesting interested parties to apply for
the available seat(s) (e.g., Research,
Education) and position(s) (i.e., council
member or alternate). The information
obtained through this application
process will be used to determine the
qualifications of the applicant for
membership on the sanctuary advisory
council.
Two application forms are currently
associated with this information
collection: (a) National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council
Application form; and (b) National
Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council
Youth Seat Application form. These
application forms are currently being
revised to ensure consistency between
forms, as well as clarify the information
and supplemental materials to be
submitted by applicants. Application
form instructions will specify
requirements imposed upon the agency
when reviewing applicants as potential
council members or alternates,
including the need to assess potential
conflicts of interest (or other issues) and
the applicant’s status as a federally
registered lobbyist. Specific questions
posed to applicants will be reordered,
reworded and, at times, condensed to
improve the organization of applicant
responses and, thereby, simplify the
applicant review process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) operates a voluntary fee-forservice seafood inspection program
(Program) under the authorities of the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as
amended, the Fish and Wildlife Act of
1956, and the Reorganization Plan No.
4 of 1970. The regulations for the
Program are contained in 50 CFR part
260. The program offers inspection
grading and certification services,
including the use of official quality
grade marks which indicate that specific
products have been Federally inspected.
Those wishing to participate in the
program must request the services and
submit specific compliance information.
In July 1992, NMFS announced new
inspection services, which were fully
based on guidelines recommended by
the National Academy of Sciences,
known as Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Point (HACCP). The information
collection requirements fall under
§ 260.15 of the regulations. These
guidelines required that a facility’s
quality control system have a written
plan of the operation, identification of
control points with acceptance criteria
and a corrective action plan, as well as
identified personnel responsible for
oversight of the system.
II. Method of Collection

ADDRESSES:
The
purpose of the meeting is to consider
requesting emergency action by
National Marine Fisheries Service under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) for
deepwater snapper/grouper species,
including blueline tilefish, within the
Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Council’s jurisdiction. Several
developments precipitated this request,
including:
1. In discussions with NMFS
headquarters, the Agency confirmed
that the Council can directly request
emergency action on these species
within our Council’s jurisdiction.
2. Council Chairman Rick Robins was
contacted by a commercial North
Carolina long-liner who indicated that
he intends to begin directing on blueline
tilefish in June of this year, within our
Council’s jurisdiction, and intends to
land the fish in New Jersey, where there
are no landing limits.
3. New Jersey has indicated,
preliminarily, that they will not be able
to implement state regulations before
the fishery begins this summer.
Connecticut has also indicated that they
will not have regulations in place in
time for this year’s fishery, if at all.
4. Further communications with the
South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council staff confirmed that they are
scheduled to consider requesting
emergency federal action at their March
meeting to protect blueline tilefish
within the Mid-Atlantic Council’s
jurisdictional boundaries.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, in
accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, those issues may not be the subject
of formal action during this meeting.
Actions 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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
