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. Workshop Dates, Times, and Locations

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.

**CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION** 

**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


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

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/ Regulated-Products-Rules/ strongsensitizerguidance.pdf. Copies may also be obtained from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Office of the Secretary, Room 820, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone 301–504–7923.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Joanna Matheson, Ph.D., Project Manager, Office of Hazard Identification and Reduction, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 5 Research Place, Rockville, MD 20850; telephone (301) 987–2564; jmatheson@cpsc.gov.

**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.

Dated: March 7, 2013.
