List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 572

Motor vehicle safety.

In consideration of the foregoing,

NHTSA proposes to amend 49 CFR Part

572 as follows:

PART 572—ANTHROPOMORPHIC

TEST DUMMIES

1. The authority citation for Part 572

would continue to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 332, 30111, 30115,

30117; and 30166 delegation of authority at

49 CFR 1.50.

Subpart M—Side Impact Hybrid

Dummy 50th Percentile Male

2. 49 CFR Part 572 would be amended

by revising § 572.113(b)(2), (b)(3) and

(b)(4) to read as follows:

* * * * *

§ 572.113 Neck assembly.

* * * * *

(b) * * *

(2) The maximum rotation of the

midsagittal plane of the head shall be 66

to 82 degrees with respect to the

pendulum’s longitudinal centerline. The

decaying head rotation vs. time curve

shall cross the zero angle between 58 to

67 ms after reaching its peak value.

(3) The moment about the x-axis

which coincides with the midsagittal

plane of the head at the level of the

occipital condyles shall have a

maximum value between 73 and 88 Nm.

The decaying moment vs. time curve

shall first cross zero moment between

49 and 64 ms after reaching its peak

value. The following formula is to be

used to calculate the moment about the

occipital condyles when using the sixaxis neck transducer:

M = Mx + 0.01778 Fy

Where Mx and Fy are the moment and

force measured by the transducer and

expressed in terms of Nm and N,

respectively.

(4) The maximum rotation of the head

with respect to the pendulum’s

longitudinal centerline shall occur

between 2 and 16 ms after peak

moment.

50 CFR Part 635

[I.D. 110800C]

Atlantic Highly Migratory Species

Fisheries; Technical Gear Workshop;

Postponement

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Postponement of public

meeting.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the

postponement of the technical gear

workshop previously scheduled to

discuss potential gear modifications and

configurations for the Atlantic pelagic

longline fishery.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Margo Schulze-Haugen or Tyson Kade

at (301) 713-2347.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 21, 2000 (65 FR 69898),

NMFS announced that it would conduct

a workshop on December 12-13, 2000, at

NMFS, Building 4 - Science Center,

1305 East-West Highway, Silver Spring,

MD 20910. The purpose of the

workshop is to allow fishermen, gear

experts, sea turtle experts, and fishery

managers to discuss possible measures,

including gear and fishing method

modifications, to reduce the incidental

take and mortality of sea turtles in the

Atlantic pelagic longline fishery. After

announcing the workshop, NMFS

received comment from fishermen that

the scheduled dates posed a conflict

with the active fishing period associated

with the full moon. As participation by

fishing vessel captains is an important

aspect of this meeting, NMFS has agreed

to reschedule the workshop. NMFS will

announce a future date for this

workshop in the Federal Register.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq., and 16

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Dated: November 22, 2000.

Bruce C. Morehead,

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
