publish anonymized results of the
research under this Consortium. In
accordance with 15 U.S.C.
3710a(c)(7)(B), NIST will withhold from
public disclosure the data that
specifically identifies a participant’s
microparticles for a period of five (5)
years from the date any ERF values are
generated, or until the participants
grants NIST permission to disclose such
data. NIST will not require the
participants to pay a membership fee to
participate in this Consortium. NIST
will, however, require participants to
contribute funds to reimburse NIST for
the generation of any report requested
by a participant for the ERF value
assignments of participant’s
microparticles.
Participation Process: Eligibility will
be determined by NIST using the
information provided by an organization
in response to this notice based on the
information requested below.
An organization responding to this
notice should provide the following
information to NIST’s Consortium
Manager:
(1) Type of microparticles: Optimal
sizes of microparticles are from 2 to 10
microns. If there are needs of
characterization and ERF value
assignment to other size particles (<2
microns or >10 microns), the present
standard operating procedure can be
modified to accommodate the requests.
(2) Type of Instrument: The
Consortium is to assign ERF values for
microparticles used primarily for flow
cytometers. Any information about
other instruments used by the
organization is helpful to ensure that
there is diversity in participants. For
example, please indicate if the
microparticles are used by the
organization with fluorescence
microscopes and spectrophotometers/
spectrofluorimeters.
(3) Experience in production and
characterization of microparticles,
antibodies, and biological cells, and
analysis of large data sets.
A responding organization should not
include any business proprietary
information in its response to this
request for information. NIST will not
treat any information provided in
response to this request as proprietary
information. NIST will notify each
organization of its eligibility. In order to
participate in this Consortium, each
eligible organization must sign a
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) for this
Consortium. All participants to this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Council is soliciting public hearing
comments on proposed measures in
CMP Framework Amendment 4
addressing proposed management
measures for Atlantic cobia in federal
waters from the Florida/Georgia line
northward to New York. The Atlantic
cobia fishery was closed to recreational
harvest on June 20, 2016 in federal
waters after NOAA Fisheries
determined that the recreational annual
catch limit had been exceeded in 2015.
Exceeding the 2015 annual catch limit
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:03 Jul 14, 2016
Jkt 238001
triggered the accountability measures in
place for Atlantic cobia to prevent
overfishing, resulting in the shortened
recreational season in 2016. Measures
proposed in Framework Amendment 4
are designed to help ensure consistent
and stable fishing opportunities for all
participants in the fishery and include:
(1) Reducing the recreational bag limit
with a preferred alternative to reduce
the daily bag limit from 2 per person/
day to 1 per person/day; (2) establishing
a recreational vessel limit with a
preferred alternative of 3 per vessel/day;
(3) modifying the recreational fishing
year with a preferred alternative for the
year to begin May 1st; (4) modifying the
recreational minimum size limit; (5)
modifying the current accountability
measure; and (6) changes to the
commercial harvest limit.
The Council is also soliciting public
hearing comments on Snapper Grouper
Amendment 41 addressing proposed
management measures for mutton
snapper. Stakeholders have expressed
concerns about fishing pressure that
occurs each spring as mutton snapper
gather to spawn. Measures in
Amendment 41 include actions to: (1)
Modify the current annual catch limit
for mutton snapper based on the most
recent stock assessment; (2) reduce the
current bag limit of 10 fish per person/
day within the snapper aggregate with a
preferred alternative of 3 fish per
person/day year round; (3) establish a
commercial trip limit with the preferred
alternative of 300 pounds and 3 fish per
person/day during the spawning season
months (April-June); and (4) modify the
current minimum size limit with the
preferred alternative to increase the
limit from 16 to 18 inches total length.
Public scoping comments are being
solicited for measures proposed in Joint
Dolphin Wahoo Amendment 10/
Snapper Grouper Amendment 44
addressing potential allocation
measures for dolphin fish and yellowtail
snapper. Public scoping occurs early in
the amendment development process
and the Council is soliciting input on
proposed options that include a
common pool allocation, a reserve
category, temporary shifts in allocation,
combined annual catch limits, a
permanent allocation shift for dolphin
and/or yellowtail snapper, and
allocations by gear type for the
commercial sector in the dolphin
fishery. Measures proposed for dolphin
would apply in federal waters along the
entire Atlantic coast.
