SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The NIST Center for Neutron
Research (NCNR) Information
Management System (IMS) is a public
facing, web-based application to collect,
manage and report operational data
related to NCNR’s role as a unique
national user facility which was
chartered to serve the nation’s scientific
community by providing unique
experimental apparatus for scientific
studies using neutron scattering. In
order to fulfill that mission, NCNR
established a complex business process
to fairly distribute available scientific
resources to prospective external users,
outlined by the following steps:
• Registration of NCNR users
• Collection of scientific experiment
proposals
• Regularly scheduled peer review of
said proposals
• Merit-based award of available
experimental resources
• Experiment date scheduling for
selected projects (instrument
scheduling)

Snapper Grouper Regulatory
Amendment 26 (Recreational
Visioning)
The draft regulatory amendment
contains actions to address recreational
measures as identified in the Council’s
Vision Blueprint for the Snapper
Grouper Fishery. The amendment
proposes modifying the species
composition of recreational aggregates
to better reflect how fishermen are
currently fishing and allow more
focused management measures (i.e., for
deep-water species). Alternatives for
aggregate bag limits, minimum size
limits and gear requirements are
included. The regulatory amendment
also proposes modification to the
spawning season closure for red grouper
off the North and South Carolina coasts
and modifying the minimum size limit
for gray triggerfish off the east coast of
Florida to bring consistency with
regulations in state waters.
Snapper Grouper Regulatory
Amendment 27 (Commercial Visioning)
The draft regulatory amendment
contains actions to address commercial
measures as identified in the Council’s
Vision Blueprint for the Snapper
Grouper Fishery. The amendment
addresses concerns over equitable
access for commercial fishermen fishing
in the snapper grouper fishery and
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

proposes measures to help minimize
discards. The regulatory amendment
includes actions for split commercial
seasons for blueline tilefish, snowy
grouper, greater amberjack, and red
porgy. The amendment also includes
actions to modify the commercial trip
limit for blueline tilefish, greater
amberjack, red porgy, and vermilion
snapper. Other measures include
specifying a minimum size limit for
almaco jack, implementing a trip limit
for the Other Jacks complex, extending
the seasonal closure for red grouper in
federal waters off North Carolina and
South Carolina, removing the minimum
size limit for three deep-water snappers,
and reducing the commercial minimum
size limit for gray triggerfish off the east
coast of Florida.
During the public hearings, Council
staff will present an overview of each
amendment and will be available for
informal discussions and to answer
questions via webinar. Area Council
members will be present at each of the
Listening Stations. Members of the
public will have an opportunity to go on
record to offer their comments for
consideration by the Council.
