SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, (2) a series of assessment webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a report that compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The assessment webinars produce a report that describes the fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. The product of the Review Workshop is an Assessment 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, HMS 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 NGO’s; International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies. The items of discussion during the Data Webinar are as follows: Panelists will review and discuss outstanding issues from the Data Workshop for data sets being considered for the assessment and may discuss initial modeling efforts. 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. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:47 Jul 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 Special Accommodations The meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.

The plan to evaluate the CO mitigation requirements in PGMA G300 and UL 2201 is presented in NIST Technical Note 2048, ‘‘Simulation and Analysis Plan to Evaluate the Impact of CO Mitigation Requirements for Portable Generators’’ (NIST TN 2048). NIST TN 2048 documents the plan for conducting a computer simulation study and for analyzing the output. The methodology in NIST TN 2048 is similar to the methodology CPSC staff used to evaluate the benefits of the proposed portable generator rule the Commission issued in 2016. The simulation study will use the same 40 buildings, weather conditions, and generator characteristics that were used to evaluate the benefits in the Commission’s 2016 portable generator proposed rule to study the rate at which the CO emitted from the generator accumulates in, transports through, and leaves the homes and detached garages for generators with and without CO safety shutoff systems. The plan includes more than 900 scenarios in all the buildings that will require more than a million simulations, the output of which will be analyzed to estimate the effectiveness of the voluntary standards. The Commission seeks public comment on this NIST Technical Note. NIST TN 2048 is available on NIST’s website at: https://dx.doi.org/10.6028/ NIST.TN.2048, and from the Commission’s Division of the Secretariat, at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. NIST TN 2048 references another NIST report, NIST Technical Note 2049, ‘‘Carbon Monoxide Concentrations and Carboxyhemoglobin Profiles from Portable Generators with a CO Safety Shutoff in a Test House’’ (NIST TN 2049). NIST TN 2049 documents the results from a series of tests and model validation work that NIST performed to develop methods that CPSC staff will use in the Simulation Plan. NIST TN 2049 is available on NIST’s website at: https://dx.doi.org/10.6028/NIST.TN .2049, and can also be obtained from the Commission’s Division of the Secretariat. Alberta E.
