Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2022 / Notices
On October 15, 2021, the sixth plan of
action under the Voluntary
Agreement—the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Coordination of National Multimodal
Healthcare Supply Chains to Respond to
COVID–19—was finalized.7 This plan of
action established several subcommittees under the Voluntary
Agreement, focusing on different
transportation categories.
The meetings are chaired by the
FEMA Administrator’s delegates from
the Office of Response and Recovery
(ORR) and Office of Policy and Program
Analysis (OPPA), attended by the
Attorney General’s delegates from the
U.S. Department of Justice, and attended
by the Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission’s delegates. In
implementing the Voluntary Agreement,
FEMA adheres to all procedural
requirements of 50 U.S.C. 4558 and 44
CFR part 332.
Meeting Objectives: The objectives of
the meetings are as follows:
1. Convene the Sub-Committee for
Oxygen under the Medical Gases Plan of
Action to establish priorities related to
the COVID–19 response under the
Voluntary Agreement.
2. Gather Sub-Committee Participants
and Attendees to ask targeted questions
for situational awareness related to the
Sub-Committee for Oxygen.
3. Identify potential Objectives and
Actions that should be completed under
the Sub-Committee for Oxygen.
4. Identify pandemic-related
information gaps and areas that merit
sharing by holding recurring meetings of
the Sub-Committee for Oxygen with key
stakeholders.
Meetings Closed to the Public: By
default, the DPA requires meetings held
to implement a voluntary agreement or
plan of action be open to the public.8
However, attendance may be limited if
the Sponsor 9 of the voluntary
agreement finds that the matter to be
discussed at a meeting falls within the
purview of matters described in 5 U.S.C.
552b(c), such as trade secrets and
commercial or financial information.
The Sponsor of the Voluntary
Agreement, the FEMA Administrator,
found that these meetings to implement
the Voluntary Agreement involve
matters which fall within the purview of
matters described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)
and the meetings are therefore closed to
the public.
7 See
86 FR 57444 (Oct. 15, 2021).
8 See 50 U.S.C. 4558(h)(7).
9 ‘‘[T]he individual designated by the President in
subsection (c)(2) [of section 708 of the DPA] to
administer the voluntary agreement, or plan of
action.’’ 50 U.S.C. 4558(h)(7).

Specifically, these meetings may
require participants to disclose trade
secrets or commercial or financial
information that is privileged or
confidential. Disclosure of such
information allows for meetings to be
closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(4).
The success of the Voluntary
Agreement depends wholly on the
willing participation of the private
sector participants. Failure to close
these meetings to the public could
reduce active participation by the
signatories due to a perceived risk that
sensitive company information could be
released to the public. A public
disclosure of a private sector
participant’s information executed
prematurely could reduce trust and
support for the Voluntary Agreement.
A resulting loss of support by the
participants for the Voluntary
Agreement would significantly hinder
the implementation of the Agency’s
objectives. Thus, these meeting closures
are permitted pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(B).
Deanne Criswell,
Administrator, Federal Emergency
Management Agency.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
