new shark and swordfish limited-access 

permit applicants who intend to fish 

with longline or gillnet gear must attend 

a Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshop 

and submit a copy of their workshop 

certificate before either of the permits 

will be issued. Approximately 148 free 

Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since 2006. 

In addition to certifying vessel 

owners, at least one operator on board 

vessels issued a limited-access 

swordfish or shark permit that uses 

longline or gillnet gear is required to 

attend a Protected Species Safe 

Handling, Release, and Identification 

Workshop and receive a certificate. 

Vessels that have been issued a limitedaccess swordfish or shark permit and 

that use longline or gillnet gear may not 

fish unless both the vessel owner and 

operator have valid workshop 

certificates onboard at all times. Vessel 

operators who have not already 

attended a workshop and received a 

NMFS certificate, or vessel operators 

whose certificate(s) will expire prior to 

their next fishing trip, must attend a 

workshop to operate a vessel with 

swordfish and shark limited-access 

permits that uses longline or gillnet 

gear.

Registration 

To register for a scheduled Protected 

Species Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshop, please contact 

Angler Conservation Education at (386) 

682–0158. 

Registration Materials 

To ensure that workshop certificates 

are linked to the correct permits, 

participants will need to bring the 

following specific items with them to 

the workshop: 

• Individual vessel owners must 

bring a copy of the appropriate 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), a copy 

of the vessel registration or 

documentation, and proof of 

identification. 

• Representatives of a businessowned or co-owned vessel must bring 

proof that the individual is an agent of 

the business (such as articles of 

incorporation), a copy of the applicable 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), and 

proof of identification. 

• Vessel operators must bring proof of 

identification. 

Workshop Objectives 

The Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

are designed to teach longline and 

gillnet fishermen the required 

techniques for the safe handling and 

release of entangled and/or hooked 

protected species, such as sea turtles, 

marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish. In an effort to improve 

reporting, the proper identification of 

protected species will also be taught at 

these workshops. Additionally, 

individuals attending these workshops 

will gain a better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal of these 

workshops is to provide participants 

with the skills needed to reduce the 

mortality of protected species, which 

may prevent additional regulations on 

these fisheries in the future.

Third Party Testing of Children’s 

Products 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (Commission) is 

announcing that a collection of 

information entitled Third Party Testing 

of Children’s Products has been

Strong Sensitizer Guidance 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (CPSC or 

Commission) is announcing the 

availability of a document prepared by 

CPSC staff titled, ‘‘Strong Sensitizer 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 12, 2013 / Notices 15711 

Guidance.’’ This guidance document is 

intended to clarify the ‘‘strong 

sensitizer’’ definition, assist 

manufacturers in understanding how 

CPSC staff would assess whether a 

substance and/or product containing 

that substance should be considered a 

‘‘strong sensitizer,’’ and how the 

Commission would make such a 

determination. The staff guidance 

document is available on the 

Commission’s Web site and from the 

Commission’s Office of the Secretary. 

ADDRESSES: The guidance document is 

available from the Commission’s Web 

site at http://www.cpsc.gov/Global/ 

Regulations-Laws-and-Standards/

may also be obtained from the

Manager, Office of Hazard Identification 

and Reduction, U.S. Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, 5 Research Place,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere 

in this issue of the Federal Register, the 

Commission is publishing a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for the purpose of 

revising the supplemental definition of 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ found at 16 CFR 

1500.3(c)(5). The Commission is 

proposing to revise the supplemental 

definition of ‘‘strong sensitizer’’ due to 

advancements in the science of 

sensitization that have occurred since 

the current supplemental definition of 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ was promulgated in 

1986. Toward this end, the Commission 

convened a panel of scientific experts 

from academia, industry, and the 

Federal Government who evaluated the 

current definition in light of scientific 

advances in the field of sensitization 

and made recommendations for 

proposed changes to the current 

definition, which eliminate redundancy, 

remove certain subjective factors, 

incorporate new and future technology 

for determining the sensitization 

characteristics of substances, rank the 

criteria for classification of strong 

sensitizers in order of importance (e.g., 

human over animal data), define criteria 

for ‘‘severity of reaction’’, and adopt a 

weight-of-the-evidence approach to 

determine the strength of the sensitizer. 

Commission staff has prepared a 

document titled, ‘‘Strong Sensitizer 

Guidelines,’’ which explains and 

clarifies each section of the proposed 

‘‘strong sensitizer’’ supplemental 

definition by explaining the current 

scientific rationale underlying the 

methodologies and analysis that staff 

will consider when assessing whether a 

substance is a strong sensitizer. The 

CPSC expects that the guidance 

document will assist manufacturers and 

other stakeholders in understanding 

how CPSC staff and the Commission 

would assess whether a substance or 

product containing a substance should 

be considered a ‘‘strong sensitizer.’’ The 

staff guidance document is available on 

the Commission’s Web site and from the 

Commission’s Office of the Secretary, 

both listed in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice.
