Island’s ‘‘mini-eliminator trawl’’ project. 

During the Monkfish Committee report 

to follow, the Council will receive a 

briefing on the recent scoping hearings 

and recommendations from its 

Monkfish Advisory Panel, each 

concerning the possible development of 

a monkfish catch shares program. The 

committee also will review its 

discussion about the use of trip limit 

exemptions in the monkfish cooperative 

research program. The Northeast 

Fisheries Science Center staff will 

summarize its recommendations for 

2011–12 observer sea-day allocations. 

During the afternoon, the Council will 

discuss and possibly modify an option 

in the Environmental Impact Statement 

for Herring Amendment 5 that would 

require federally-permitted fish dealers 

to accurately weigh all landings of 

herring. They also will receive the last 

of three briefings about ecosystem-based 

fisheries management by staff of the 

Northeast Fisheries Science Center. The 

Habitat Committee will summarize any 

recommendations from its most recent 

meeting, and at the end of the day, the 

Habitat Plan Development Team will 

provide an overview of the impact of the 

SASI model peer review on the 

development of the Council’s Habitat 

Omnibus Amendment. 

Thursday, April 28, 2011 

The last day of the Council meeting 

will begin with a presentation about 

‘‘management area coordination.’’ This 

will consist of an overview of the 

relationships between the current 

groundfish mortality closures and the 

current and proposed essential fish 

habitat closures, and their impact on 

access to fishery resources. The Council 

will address groundfish management for 

the remainder of this day. It intends to 

take final action on Framework 

Adjustment 46 to the Northeast 

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP), which would cap the amount of 

haddock the herring fleet would be 

allowed to take as bycatch in that 

fishery. The Council also may take final 

action on Amendment 17 to the 

Multispecies FMP. Amendment 17 

would create a mechanism for the 

operation of NOAA-funded, stateoperated permit banks. Other 

groundfish-related business items 

include a report on workshop planning 

for the purpose of examining the last 

year of sector operations, and a 

Groundfish Committee recommendation 

to delay further work on an amendment 

to consider accumulation limits in the 

fishery. Any other outstanding business 

will be discussed after the groundfish 

agenda items have been completed. 

Although other non-emergency issues 

not contained in this agenda may come 

before this Council for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subjects of formal 

action during this meeting. Council 

action will be restricted to those issues 

specifically listed in this notice and any 

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action 

under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided that the public 

has been notified of the Council’s intent 

to take final action to address the 

emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

This meeting is physically accessible 

to people with disabilities. Requests for 

sign language interpretation or other 

auxiliary aids should be directed to Paul 

J. Howard (see ADDRESSES) at least 5 

days prior to the meeting date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Comments Online 

The CFTC is obligated to collect 

comments on rulemakings and other 

regulatory action, which it timely 

publishes on its Web site to provide 

transparency in the informal rulemaking 

process under the Administrative 

Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’), 5 U.S.C. 553, 

and in the regulatory processes 

established in the Commodity Exchange 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2011 / Notices 19331 

1The Commission reserves the right, but has no 

obligation, to review, pre-screen, filter, redact, 

refuse or remove any submission or part of a 

submission that it may deem inappropriate for 

publication, such as a comment containing obscene 

language. If an individual wishes to include in his/ 

her comments information that he/she believes may 

be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, the individual may 

submit a petition for confidential treatment 

according to the procedure set forth in CFTC 

regulations at 17 CFR 145.9 before submitting 

comments. 

Act, 7 U.S.C. 1 et seq. The CFTC also 

may solicit comments or other input 

from the public that may not be 

associated with statutory or regulatory 

notice and comment requirements. 

Previously, this input was received by 

the Commission’s Office of the Secretary 

and incorporated into the Commission 

Correspondence Files, Privacy Act 

System of Record Notice CFTC–2. 

The new ‘‘Comments Online’’ system 

will collect and store comments and 

input received by the Commission. 

Specifically, the system includes a web 

form on http://www.cftc.gov allowing 

individuals to submit their comments or 

input, along with their name, 

organization and contact information. 

Once submitted, the system stores this 

information in the Comments Online 

database. Any comments received by 

fax, postal mail or email are uploaded 

by personnel into this database, 

collecting all comments into one 

database. The commenter’s name, 

organization and comment or input are 

automatically published to http:// 

www.cftc.gov. The commenter’s contact 

information, or other personal 

information voluntarily submitted, is 

not published on the Internet, unless the 

commenter has incorporated such 

information into the text of his or her 

comment. 

During an informal rulemaking or 

other statutory or regulatory notice and 

comment process, Commission 

personnel may manually remove a 

comment from publication if the 

commenter withdraws his or her 

comments before the comment period 

has closed or because the comment 

contains obscenities or other material 

deemed inappropriate for publication by 

the Commission.1 However, comments 

that are removed from publication will 

be retained by the Commission for 

consideration as required by the APA, 

or as part of the Commission’s 

documentation of a comment 

withdrawal in the event that one is 

requested. 

II. The Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is 

defined as any group of records under 

the control of a federal government 

agency from which information about 

individuals is retrieved by name or 

other personal identifier. The Privacy 

Act establishes the means by which 

government agencies must collect, 

maintain, and use personally 

identifiable information associated with 

an individual in a government system of 

records. 

Each government agency is required 

to publish a notice in the Federal 

Register of a system of records in which 

the agency identifies and describes each 

system of records it maintains, the 

reasons why the agency uses the 

personally identifying information 

therein, the routine uses for which the 

agency will disclose such information 

outside the agency, and how individuals 

may exercise their rights under the 

Privacy Act to determine if the system 

contains information about them.
