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 threestep process including: (1) Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing webinars; and (3) Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of the Assessment Process is a stock assessment report which describes the fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer reviewed at the Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is a 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, SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Highly Migratory Species 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 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); international experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies. The items of discussion at the SEDAR 73 South Atlantic Red Snapper Data Webinar are as follows: • Identify and discuss data issues 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.

Plan to Evaluate the Impact of CO Mitigation Requirements for Portable 
Generators,'' a memorandum documenting CPSC staff's revisions to the 
plan in NIST TN 2048, resulting from CPSC and National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) staffs' review and analysis of public 
comments on the plan.

ADDRESSES: ``Revisions to the Plan Documented in NIST Technical Note

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CPSC is engaged in an ongoing effort to 
address carbon monoxide (CO) poisonings of consumers from portable 
generators.\1\ NIST staff and CPSC staff developed a plan that would 
enable CPSC staff to estimate the effectiveness of CO-mitigation 
requirements adopted in two voluntary standards in 2018: ANSI/PGMA 
G300-2018, Safety and Performance of Portable Generators (PGMA G300) 
and ANSI/UL 2201-2018, Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emission Rate of Portable 
Generators (UL 2201). PGMA G300 has requirements for a system that will 
shut off the generator when specific CO concentrations are present near 
the generator, as well as notification requirements to alert the user 
to the presence of CO after the generator has shut off. UL 2201 has 
requirements for a system that will shut off the generator when 
specific CO concentrations are present near the generator and a 
requirement for a reduced CO emission rate.

    \1\ On November 21, 2016, the Commission published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to address the CO hazard associated with 
portable generators. (Safety Standard for Portable Generators, 81 FR 
83,556).
