Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Notices 2649 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires that we 

conduct a review of listed species at 

least once every 5 years. The regulations 

in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing species currently under 

active review. On the basis of such 

reviews, under section 4(c)(2)(B) we 

determine whether a listed species 

should be delisted, or reclassified from 

endangered to threatened or from 

threatened to endangered (16 U.S.C. 

1533(c)(2)(B)). As described by the 

regulations in 50 CFR 424.11(e), the 

Secretary shall delist a species if the 

Secretary finds that, after conducting a 

status review based on the best 

scientific and commercial data 

available: (1) The species is extinct; (2) 

the species does not meet the definition 

of an endangered species or a threatened 

species; or (3) the listed entity does not 

meet the statutory definition of a 

species. Any change in Federal 

classification would require a separate 

rulemaking process. 

The Beringia and Okhotsk DPSs of the 

bearded seal were listed as threatened 

under the ESA on December 28, 2012 

(77 FR 76740). Background information 

on these bearded seal DPSs is available 

on the NMFS website at: http://

www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/ 

bearded-seal. 

Determining if a Species Is Threatened 

or Endangered 

Section 4(a)(1) of the ESA requires 

that we determine whether a species is 

endangered or threatened based on one 

or more of the five following factors: (1) 

The present or threatened destruction, 

modification, or curtailment of its 

habitat or range; (2) overutilization for 

commercial, recreational, scientific, or 

educational purposes; (3) disease or 

predation; (4) the inadequacy of existing 

regulatory mechanisms; or (5) other 

natural or manmade factors affecting its 

continued existence. Section 4(b) also 

requires that our determination be made 

on the basis of the best scientific and 

commercial data available after 

conducting a review of the status of the 

species and after taking into account 

those efforts, if any, being made by any 

State or foreign nation to protect such 

species. 

Public Solicitation of New Relevant 

Information 

To ensure that the 5-year review is 

complete and based on the best 

scientific and commercial data 

available, we are soliciting new 

information from the public, 

governmental agencies, Tribes, the 

scientific community, industry, 

environmental entities, and any other 

interested parties concerning the status 

of the listed bearded seal DPSs. 

Categories of requested information 

include: (1) Species biology including, 

but not limited to, population trends, 

distribution, abundance, demographics, 

and genetics; (2) habitat conditions 

including, but not limited to, amount, 

distribution, and important features for 

conservation; (3) status and trends of 

threats; (4) conservation measures that 

have been implemented that benefit the 

species, including monitoring data 

demonstrating effectiveness of such 

measures; (5) need for additional 

conservation measures; and (6) other 

new information, data, or corrections 

including, but not limited to, taxonomic 

or nomenclatural changes and improved 

analytical methods for evaluating 

extinction risk.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report that compiles 

and evaluates potential datasets and 

recommends which datasets are 

appropriate for assessment analyses. 

The product of the Assessment Process 

is a stock assessment report that 

describes the fisheries, evaluates the 

status of the stock, estimates biological 

benchmarks, projects future population 

conditions, and recommends research 

and monitoring needs. The assessment 

is independently peer reviewed at the 

Review Workshop. The product of the 

Review Workshop is a Summary 

documenting panel opinions regarding 

the strengths and weaknesses of the 

stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

HMS Management Division, and 

Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 

Participants include data collectors and 

database managers; stock assessment 

scientists, biologists, and researchers; 

constituency representatives including 

fishermen, environmentalists, and 

NGO’s; International experts; and staff 

of Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion in the Data 

Scoping webinar are as follows: 

• Participants will discuss what life 

history data may be available for use in 

the assessment of U.S. Caribbean Queen 

Triggerfish. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal
