Department of Commerce November 13, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a public meeting of the Commerce Spectrum Management Advisory Committee (Committee). The Committee provides advice to the Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on spectrum management policy matters.

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will hold a one- day meeting of its Coastal Migratory Pelagics (CMP) Advisory Panel (AP).

The Department of Commerce (Department) amends its regulations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act (PA) to reflect an organizational change in the Department's Office of General Counsel (OGC). Specifically, this action removes from the provisions on FOIA appeals and the PA all references to the position of Assistant General Counsel for Administration, and replaces them with references to the new ``Assistant General Counsel for Litigation, Employment, and Oversight.'' The Department's OGC recently eliminated the position ``Assistant General Counsel for Administration,'' and this amendment updates the rules to implement that change. The rule also reflects that the Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Litigation, Employment, and Oversight will be conducting FOIA appeals and responding to requests for corrective action or review under the PA for the Department. This action merely makes a nomenclature change; the change has no substantive impact to the public, because the OGC has in the past and will continue to handle the FOIA and PA actions described above.
