ACTION: Notice; receipt of application.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
James Hain, Ph.D., Associated Scientists
at Woods Hole, Box 721, Woods Hole,
MA 02543, has applied in due form for
a permit to conduct research on North
Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena
glacialis).
DATES: Written, telefaxed, or email
comments must be received on or before

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Carrie Hubard or Shasta McClenahan,
Ph.D., (301) 427–8401.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
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.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The applicant proposes to study
North Atlantic right whales (NARW)
from Cumberland Island, Georgia, south
to Jupiter Inlet, Florida. The purpose of
the research is to continue a long-term
study of the distribution, abundance,
habitat use, behavior, reproduction, and
human impacts on NARWs. Research
would consist of photo-ID, behavioral
observations, counts, and passive
acoustic recordings. Annually,
researchers may approach up to 25
NARW using boats, and another 40
NARW may be approached from
unmanned aircraft systems, manned
airplanes, and blimps. If encountered,
ten humpback whales (Megaptera
novaenagliae) may be studied annually.
Up to 60 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) and 12 Atlantic spotted
dolphins (Stenella frontalis) may be
unintentionally harassed annually. The
permit would be valid for 5 years.
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: CPSC
FOIA Office (Office) staff is hosting a
roundtable discussion on common
issues requesters and FOIA Office staff
face with FOIA requests. The
information collected from the forum
will assist staff in making
recommendations for improving CPSC’s
FOIA processes.
I. Background
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland
issued new FOIA Guidelines on March
15, 2022.1 Among other points, the
FOIA Guidelines stress that agencies
should continue to work with requesters
in a ‘‘spirit of cooperation’’ and help
requesters understand the FOIA process

and the nature and scope of the records
the agency maintains. CPSC agrees that
it is important for agencies to establish
good communication and a cooperative
working relationship with FOIA
requesters to ensure that the FOIA
process is meeting the needs of both
requesters and the agency, consistent
with law.
Improving communication and
working cooperatively with FOIA
requesters is an essential part of
implementing an efficient and effective
FOIA system at CPSC. Good
communication with requesters is
necessary where the Commission is
uncertain about the scope of what is
being requested and allows both parties
to ensure they have a common
understanding of what records are being
sought. Many times, FOIA requesters do
not know how agency records are
organized or what might be involved in
searching for the records they seek.
Being able to talk through the request
and reach an understanding can be very
helpful to both the requester and the
agency. By improving communication
with the requester community, CPSC
hopes to strengthen relationships that
will allow us to increase our efficiency
in processing FOIA requests and to
anticipate and address issues that might
cause delays.
(See the ADDRESSES portion of this
document for the website link and
instructions to register.)
If you would like to participate in the
roundtable in person or as online
discussant, contact Bob Dalton, Senior
Attorney Advisor, at rdalton@cpsc.gov
by September 12, 2022, and register by
September 12, 2022. (See the ADDRESSES
portion of this document for the website
link.) Although staff will try to
accommodate all persons who wish to
participate, the final discussant group
will depend on the number of persons
who wish to contribute. If necessary for
management of the session, CPSC staff
may select participants based on
considerations such as the total number
of volunteers, time constraints, and
representation from a wide variety of
stakeholder groups and interests. If you
have questions regarding participating
in the roundtable, please contact Bob
Dalton at rdalton@cpsc.gov, or 301–
