Jkt 250001
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222 through 226), and the Fur
Seal Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1151 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to receive,
import, and export marine mammal
parts for comparative research on the
physiology and other biological aspects
of marine mammals. Unlimited samples
from up to 100 individual cetaceans and
100 individual pinnipeds (excluding
walrus) are requested to be received,
imported, or exported annually. These
samples may be received from U.S.
based research, legal subsistence hunts,
incidental fisheries takes, or during
routine husbandry/health assessments
of curated animals. Samples may also be
imported from international
collaborators that were originally
collected as research samples, curated
animals, animal killed during
subsistence hunts, animals killed
incidental to fishery operations, or dead
stranded animals. No live animal takes
are requested. The applicant has
requested a 5-year permit.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
This National Telecommunications
and Information Administration
cybersecurity multistakeholder process
focuses on promoting software
component transparency. Most modern
software is not written completely from
scratch, but includes existing
components, modules, and libraries
from the open source and commercial
software world. Modern development
practices such as code reuse, and a
dynamic IT marketplace with
acquisitions and mergers, make it
challenging to track the use of software
components. The Internet of Things
compounds this phenomenon, as new
organizations, enterprises, and
innovators take on the role of software
developer to add ‘‘smart’’ features or
connectivity to their products. While
the majority of libraries and components
do not have known vulnerabilities,
many do, and the sheer quantity of
software means that some software
products ship with vulnerable or out-ofdate components.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 118 / Thursday, June 18, 2020 / Notices
The first meeting of this
multistakeholder process was held on
July 19, 2018, in Washington, DC.1
Stakeholders presented multiple
perspectives, and identified several
inter-related work streams:
Understanding the Problem, Use Cases
and State of Practice, Standards and
Formats, and Healthcare Proof of
Concept. Since then, stakeholders have
been discussing key issues and
developing products such as guidance
documents. NTIA acts as the convener,
but stakeholders drive the outcomes.
Success of the process will be evaluated
by the extent to which broader findings
on software component transparency are
implemented across the ecosystem.
The first set of stakeholder-drafted
documents on Software Bills of
Materials was published by NTIA in
November 2019. Those documents, and
subsequent consensus-approved drafts
from the community are available at:
https://www.ntia.doc.gov/SBOM. The
main objectives of the July 9, 2020,
meeting are to share progress from the
working groups; to give feedback on the
ongoing work around technical
challenges, tooling, demonstrations, and
awareness and adoption; and to
continue discussions around potential
guidance or playbook documents. More
information about stakeholders’ work is
available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/
SoftwareTransparency.
Time and Date: NTIA will convene
the next meeting of the multistakeholder
process on Software Component
Transparency on July 9, 2020, from
12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The exact time of the meeting is subject
to change. Please refer to NTIA’s

current information.
Place: The meeting will be held
virtually, with online slide share and

Other Information: The meeting is
open to the public and the press on a
first-come, first-served basis.
The virtual meeting is accessible to
people with disabilities. Requests for
real-time captioning or other auxiliary
aids should be directed to Allan
Friedman at (202) 482–4281 or

Commission.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission (Commission or CPSC) will
hold a public webinar to receive
information from interested parties
about changes to the CPSC’s Publicly
Available Consumer Product Safety
Information Database,
www.SaferProducts.gov, that are in
development to improve the website’s
usefulness and navigability. All
attendees should pre-register for the
Webinar. After registering, you will
receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the webinar.
DATES: The webinar will begin at 1:00
p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time

7479.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Section 212 of the Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008
(CPSIA) added section 6A to the
Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA),
which requires the CPSC to establish
and maintain a publicly available,
searchable database on the safety of
consumer products and other products
or substances regulated by the CPSC. 15
U.S.C. 2055a(a). The CPSIA includes
specific content, procedural, and search
requirements for the database. Id. at
2055a(b) and (c). In 2010, the
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Commission issued regulations
regarding the database in 16 CFR part
1102, and in 2011, Congress added
additional requirements to the database
provisions, which were adopted in part
1102. 75 FR 76832 (Dec. 9, 2010); Sec.
7, Public Law 112–28, 125 Stat. 273
(amending 15 U.S.C. 2055a(c)).
To comply with these requirements,
CPSC created the website,
www.SaferProducts.gov. The website
allows consumers and others to submit
reports of harm relating to the use of
consumer products, and other products
or substances the Commission regulates;
allows businesses to comment on such
reports; and allows users to search the
database for product recalls and reports
of harm that are published on
www.SaferProducts.gov. On March 6,
2019, the CPSC held a public hearing to
receive information from interested
parties about possible changes to the
database to improve the website’s
usefulness and ease of use. Based, in
part, on input from the public hearing,
the CPSC will hold a public webinar to
show the changes to the website that are
in development. These changes seek to
improve usability and navigability on
the website; make the website more
mobile friendly with other devices,
including smartphones and tablets; and
improve cross-browser compatibility.
Participants who register for the
webinar will have an opportunity to see
these changes and provide feedback to
the CPSC through a moderated
discussion.
II. The Webinar
A. Topics for Discussion
The Commission would like to hear
from webinar participants on the utility,
usability, and function of the
improvements to the
www.saferproducts.gov website
presented during the webinar. The goal
of the webinar is to hear from the public
its views on these changes and the
impact the changes will have on the
website’s utility and usability, among
other issues.
B. How To Attend and/or Provide
Comments
If you would like to participate in the
webinar, please register at https://
attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/
3647078277660038412. The webinar
will be held online on July 1, 2020, from
1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST. Online
participant viewers will be able to
interact with the presenters through the
webinar software. The webinar software
allows for communicating with the
presenters orally and in written format.
CPSC staff will take questions and
