Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 236 / Thursday, December 9, 2010 / Notices 76705 

Permit No. 13544 authorizes the 

permit holder to characterize the 

aggregations of Kemp’s ridley, 

loggerhead, green, and hawksbill sea 

turtles in the nearshore waters of Lee 

County in southwest Florida by 

annually performing capture, weighing, 

passive integrated transponder (PIT) 

tagging, biopsy sampling; and for 

subsets of animals, fecal sampling and 

external tagging). The modified permit 

authorizes researchers to additionally 

satellite tag a subset of Kemp’s ridley 

and loggerhead sea turtles to determine 

their seasonal distribution and possible 

migrations in the southeastern Gulf of 

Mexico. The permit modification is 

valid until the permit expires on April 

30, 2014. 

Permit No. 13307–01 authorizes the 

permit holder to addresses fine-scale 

temporal and spatial patterns of sea 

turtle habitat use, ecology, and genetic 

origin within the Dry Tortugas National 

Park by annually capturing, weighing, 

flipper tagging, PIT tagging, and 

sampling (blood, tissue, feces, and 

lavage) green, hawksbill, and loggerhead 

sea turtles, a subset of which may be 

externally tagged with satellite and 

acoustic transmitters. The permit 

modification increases the number of 

green sea turtles that may be captured 

to 80 per year due to the high rate of 

recent capture success. The 

modification is valid until the permit 

expires on June 30, 2013. 

Issuance of these permits, as required 

by the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permits (1) Were applied for in 

good faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) are 

consistent with the purposes and 

policies set forth in section 2 of the 

ESA.

[Release No. 34–63423; File No. 4–620] 

Acceptance of Public Submissions on 

a Study Mandated by the Dodd-Frank 

Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act, Section 719(b) 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission; Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Request for Comments. 

SUMMARY: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act 

(‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) was enacted on July 

21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act, among 

other things, mandates that the 

Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) and the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) 

conduct a study on ‘‘the feasibility of 

requiring the derivatives industry to 

adopt standardized computer-readable 

algorithmic descriptions which may be 

used to describe complex and 

standardized financial derivatives.’’ 

These algorithmic descriptions should 

be designed to ‘‘facilitate computerized 

analysis of individual derivative 

contracts and to calculate net exposures 

to complex derivatives.’’ The study also 

must consider the extent to which the 

algorithmic description, ‘‘together with 

standardized and extensible legal 

definitions, may serve as the binding 

legal definition of derivative contracts.’’ 

In connection with this study, the staff 

of the CFTC and SEC seek responses of 

interested parties to the questions set 

forth below. 

DATES: The CFTC will accept 

submissions on behalf of both agencies 

in response to the questions through 

December 31, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit responses 

to the CFTC, identified in the subject 

line with ‘‘algorithmic study’’ by any of 

the following methods: 

• CFTC Agency Web site: http:// 

www.cftc.gov, via its Comments Online 

process at http://comments.cftc.gov. 

Follow the instructions for submitting 

comments through the Web site. 

• Mail: David A. Stawick, Secretary of 

the Commission, Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission, Three Lafayette 

Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20581. 

• Hand Delivery/Courier: Same as 

mail above. 

Please submit your comments using 

only one method. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to http:// 

www.cftc.gov and http://www.sec.gov. 

You should submit only information 

that you wish to make available 

publicly. If you wish the CFTC to 

consider information that you believe is 

exempt from disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, a petition 

for confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in CFTC 

Regulation 145.9, 17 CFR 145.9. 

The CFTC and the SEC reserve the 

right, but shall have no obligation, to 

review, pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse 

or remove any or all of your submission 

from http://www.cftc.gov and http:// 

www.sec.gov that they may deem to be 

inappropriate for publication, such as 

obscene language. All submissions that 

have been redacted or removed that 

contain comments may be accessible 

under the Freedom of Information Act.
