This new record system is necessary to identify participants in the fisheries and to evaluate the qualifications of the applicants.
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
The Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) is responsible for keeping and maintaining a registration database for 406 MHz emergency beacons as directed by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). This database contains personally identifiable information that is required to be protected by the Privacy Act. The purpose for this system of records is to provide search and rescue (SAR) authorities with information about the user of the beacon such as the name, phone number, and emergency contact information. This information allows SAR authorities to shorten response times, and it provides a way to cancel false alerts quickly and safely; thereby, increasing safety for SAR authorities and decreasing costs to the government and the SAR system.

NOAA published a final rule on May 24, 2007 (72 FR 29208) that established marine reserves and a marine conservation area in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary). At that time, NOAA decided to defer action on establishing federal marine zones in state waters of the Sanctuary, pending the California Fish and Game Commission closing the gaps between the federal marine zones and the state marine zones. This notice closes the record on NOAA's decision with regard to state waters of the Sanctuary and responds to comments NOAA received on that issue.
