reviews the affirmative finding and determine whether the harvesting nation continues to meet the requirements. A nation may provide information related to compliance with IDCP and IATTC measures directly to NMFS on an annual basis or may authorize the IATTC to release the information to NMFS to annually renew an affirmative finding determination without an application from the harvesting nation.

An affirmative finding will be terminated, in consultation with the Secretary of State, if the Assistant Administrator determines that the requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no longer being met or that a nation is consistently failing to take enforcement actions on violations, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of the IDCP.

As a part of the affirmative finding process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the Assistant Administrator considered documentary evidence submitted by the Government of Ecuador or obtained from the IATTC and has determined that Ecuador has met the requirements under the MMPA to receive a renewal of their affirmative finding.

After consultation with the Department of State, the Assistant Administrator issued Ecuador’s affirmative finding renewal, allowing the continued importation into the United States of yellowfin tuna and products derived from yellowfin tuna harvested in the ETP by Ecuadorian-flag purse seine vessels or purse seine vessels operating under Ecuadorian jurisdiction through March 31, 2013.

**Privacy Act of 1974 System of Records Notice** 

**AGENCY :**  Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

**ACTION :**  Notice of the retirement of one Privacy Act system of records.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is providing notice that it is retiring one system of records notice, CFTC–7, Formal Employment Discrimination Complaint and Reasonable Accommodation Files, from its inventory of record systems because the relevant records are covered by existing government-wide system notices.

**DATES :**  Effective upon publication.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Kathy Harman-Stokes, Chief Privacy Officer, kharman-stokes@cftc.gov, 202– 418–6629, Office of the Executive Director, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street NW., Washington, DC
20581.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission effort to review and update system of records notices, the Commission is retiring one system of records notice, CFTC–7, Formal Employment Discrimination Complaint and Reasonable Accommodation Files. The Commission is retiring the system notice because the records are covered by existing government-wide notices, EEOC/GOVT– 1, Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government Complaint and Appeal Records, and OPM/GOVT–10, Employee Medical File System Records.

The Commission will continue to collect and maintain records regarding discrimination and sexual harassment claims, complaints and related material and will rely upon and follow the existing Federal government-wide system of records notice titled EEOC/ GOVT–1, Equal Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government Complaint and Appeal Records. The Commission also will continue to collect and maintain records regarding requests for work-related accommodations, and will rely upon and follow existing government-wide system of records notice entitled OPM/ GOV–10, Employee Medical File System Records (71 FR 35360 June 19, 2006). Eliminating CFTC–7 will not have an adverse impact on individuals and will promote the overall streamlining and management of CFTC Privacy Act record systems.

Accordingly, this notice formally terminates system of records notice CFTC–7 and removes it from the inventory of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 6, 2012, by the Commission. David A. Stawick, Secretary of the Commission.

**Revision to Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting and**  **Reporting’’**

**AGENCY :**  Council On Environmental Quality.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Availability, Draft Revised Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Reporting’’.

**SUMMARY :**  On October 5, 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order (EO) 13514, ‘‘Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance’’ (74 FR 52117), in order to establish an integrated strategy toward


### 14508 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 48 / Monday, March 12, 2012 / Notices

sustainability in the Federal government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a priority for Federal agencies. Among other provisions, EO 13514 requires agencies to measure, report, and reduce their GHG emissions.

On October 6, 2010, The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) released Guidance on Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting andReporting that establishes Governmentwide requirements for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with Federal agency operations.

On July 18, 2011, The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), Department of Defense (DoD), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided recommendations for revision to the Federal GHG reporting and accounting procedures. CEQ provides this draft revision of the guidance for public review and comment to ensure accessibility of Federal accounting and reporting requirements and to enhance the quality of public involvement in governmental decisions relating to the environment.

**DATES :**  Comments should be submitted on or before April 11, 2012. Comments received after that date may not be considered.

**ADDRESSES :**  The Draft Revised Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Reporting’’ document is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ administration/eop/ceq/sustainability/ fed-ghg. Comments on the Draft Revised Guidance should be submitted electronically to GHG.guidance@ceq.eop.gov, or in writing to The Council on Environmental Quality, Attn: Keith Dennis, 722 Jackson Place NW., Washington, DC 20503.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Keith Dennis, Senior Program Manager at (202) 456–5226.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality is required, under Section 5(a) of EO 13514, to issue guidance for greenhouse gas accounting and reporting.

Federal agencies are required, under Section 2(c) of EO 13514, to establish and report to the CEQ Chair and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director a comprehensive inventory of absolute GHG emissions, including scope 1, scope 2, and specified scope 3 emissions annually for each fiscal year, starting in 2010.

Section 9(c) of EO 13514 directs DOE’s FEMP, in coordination with EPA, DoD, General Services Administration (GSA), Department of the Interior (DOI), Department of Commerce (DOC), and other agencies, as appropriate, to develop and provide recommendations for revised Federal GHG reporting and accounting procedures. On July 18, 2011, the agencies submitted final recommendations for revisions to Federal GHG reporting and accounting procedures to the CEQ Chair.

The Draft Revised Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Reporting’’ will, when finalized, establish updated government-wide requirements for Federal agencies in calculating and reporting GHG emissions associated with agency operations. CEQ is seeking public comment on this draft guidance for 30 days. The draft guidance document is now available at the Council on Environmental Quality Web site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ administration/eop/ceq/sustainability/ fed-ghg

.

Public comments are requested on or before April 11, 2012. Comments received after that date may not be considered.

CEQ recognizes that this guidance is vital to the Federal government’s ability to achieve a clean energy economy that will increase our nation’s prosperity, promote energy security, protect the interests of taxpayers, and safeguard the health of our environment. CEQ further recognizes that in order to lead by example, the Federal government must be transparent in its processes for accounting and reporting of GHG emissions.

The Federal government seeks to continually improve both the quality of data and methods necessary for calculating GHG emissions. In accordance with EO 13514, additional requirements, methodologies and procedures will be included in future revisions to this document and supporting documents to improve the Federal Government’s overall ability to accurately account for and report GHG emissions.

February 27, 2012. Nancy Sutley, Chair, Council on Environmental Quality.
