provided notice and an opportunity for
Tepper to make a written submission to

Based upon my review of the record,
including Tepper’s submission and the
facts available to BIS, and my
consultations with BIS’s Office of
Export Enforcement, including its
Director, I have decided to deny
Tepper’s export privileges under the

also decided to revoke all BIS-issued
licenses in which Tepper had an
interest at the time of his conviction.
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:

August 3, 2028, Olaf Tepper with a last

appointment to serve as a District
Export Council member.
AGENCY:
The Department of Commerce
is currently seeking nominations of
individuals for consideration for
appointment by the Secretary of
Commerce to serve as members of one
of the 61 District Export Councils
(DECs) nationwide. DECs are closely
affiliated with the U.S. Export
Assistance Centers (USEACs) of the U.S.
and Foreign Commercial Service
(US&FCS), and play a key role in the
planning and coordination of export
activities in their communities.
DATES: Nominations for individuals to a
DEC must be received by the local
USEAC Director by 5:00 p.m. local time
on August 10, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Contact the Director of your
local USEAC for information on how to
submit your nomination on-line. You
may identify your local USEAC by
entering your zip code online at https://
export.gov/usoffices/index.asp.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please use the information listed in the
ADDRESSES section to contact the
Director of your local USEAC for more
information on DECs and the
nomination process. For general
program information, contact Laura
Barmby, National DEC Liaison,
US&FCS, at (202) 482–2675.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District
Export Councils support the mission of
US&FCS by facilitating the development
of an effective local export assistance
network, supporting the expansion of
export opportunities for local U.S.
companies, serving as a communication
link between the business community
and US&FCS, and assisting in
coordinating the activities of trade
assistance partners to leverage available
resources. Individuals appointed to a
DEC become part of a select corps of
trade professionals dedicated to
providing international trade leadership
and guidance to the local business
community and assistance to the
Department of Commerce on export
development issues.
Nomination Process: Each DEC has a
maximum membership of 35.
Approximately half of the positions are
open on each DEC for the four-year term

that begins on January 1, 2020, and runs
through December 31, 2023. All
potential nominees must complete an
online nomination form and consent to
sharing of the information on that form
with the DEC Executive Committee for
its consideration, and consent, if
appointed, to sharing of their contact
information with other agencies and
organizations with a focus on trade.
Eligibility and Appointment Criteria:
Appointment is based upon an
individual’s international trade
leadership in the local community,
ability to influence the local
environment for exporting, knowledge
of day-to-day international operations,
interest in export development, and
willingness and ability to devote time to
DEC activities. Members must be
employed as exporters or export service
providers or in a profession which
supports U.S. export promotion efforts.
Members include exporters, export
service providers and others whose
profession supports U.S. export
promotion efforts. DEC member
appointments are made without regard
to political affiliation. DEC membership
is open to U.S. citizens and permanent
residents of the United States. As
representatives of the local exporting
community, DEC members must reside
in, or conduct the majority of their work
in, the territory that the DEC covers.
DEC membership is not open to federal
government employees. Individuals
representing foreign governments,
including individuals registered with
the Department of Justice under the
Foreign Agents Registration Act, must
disclose such representation and may be
disqualified if the Department
determines that such representation is
likely to impact the ability to carry out
the duties of a DEC member or raise an
appearance issue for the Department.
Selection Process: Nominations of
individuals who have applied for DEC
membership will be forwarded to the
local USEAC Director for the respective
DEC for that Director’s consideration.
The local USEAC Director ensures that
all nominees meet the membership
criteria outlined below. The local
USEAC Director then, in consultation
with the local DEC Executive
Committee, evaluates all nominations to
determine their interest, commitment,
and qualifications. In reviewing
nominations, the local USEAC Director
strives to ensure a balance among
exporters from a manufacturing or
service industry and export service
providers. A fair representation should
be considered from companies and
organizations that support exporters,
representatives of local and state
government, and trade organizations

and associations. Membership should
reflect the diversity of the local business
community, encompass a broad range of
businesses and industry sectors, and be
distributed geographically across the
DEC service area.
For current DEC members seeking
reappointment, the local USEAC
Director, in consultation with the DEC
Executive Committee, also carefully
considers the nominee’s activity level
during the previous term and
demonstrated ability to work
cooperatively and effectively with other
DEC members and US&FCS staff. As
appointees of the Secretary of
Commerce in high-profile positions,
though volunteers, DEC members are
expected to actively participate in the
DEC and support the work of local
US&FCS offices. Those that do not
support the work of the office or do not
actively participate in DEC activities
will not be considered for renomination.
The Executive Secretary determines
which nominees to forward to the
US&FCS Office of U.S. Field for further
consideration for recommendation to
the Secretary of Commerce in
consultation with the local DEC
Executive Committee. A candidate’s
background and character are pertinent
to determining suitability and eligibility
for DEC membership. Since DEC
appointments are made by the
Secretary, the Department must make a
suitability determination for all DEC
nominees. After completion of a vetting
process, the Secretary selects nominees
for appointment to local DECs. DEC
members are appointed by and serve at
the pleasure of the Secretary of
Commerce.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512 and 4721.

In accordance with the

amended, notification is hereby given
that NMFS has issued an incidental
harassment authorization (IHA) to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
to incidentally harass, by Level B
harassment only, marine mammals
during biological research, monitoring,
and maintenance activities at the
Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife
Refuge Complex (Complex).
DATES: This Authorization is effective
from June 12, 2019 through June 11,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and
(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce
(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
incidental take authorization may be
provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
