invertebrates, which live on or near the 

ocean floor where the oil settled. The 

nature and extent of injuries will be 

determined during the damage 

assessment. 

(2) Response actions during cleanup 

have not fully addressed the injuries 

resulting from the Incident. Although 

response actions were initiated 

promptly, the nature and location of the 

discharge prevented recovery of all of 

the oil and precluded prevention of 

injuries to some natural resources. It is 

anticipated that injured natural 

resources will eventually return to 

baseline levels, but there is the potential 

for interim losses to have occurred and 

to continue to occur until a return to 

baseline is achieved. 

(3) Feasible compensatory restoration 

actions exist to address injuries from 

this incident. Restoration actions that 

could be considered may include, but 

are not limited to: creation or 

enhancement of offshore artificial reef 

structures; creation, restoration, 

enhancement or protection of marsh 

habitat; and marine debris removal. In 

addition, methods such as Habitat 

Equivalency Analysis exist to scale the 

amount of compensatory restoration 

required to offset ecological service 

losses resulting from this incident. 

Administrative Record 

NOAA has opened an Administrative 

Record (Record) in compliance with 15

participate in a cooperative natural 

resource damage assessment and 

enclosing the ‘‘Guiding Principles for

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

Establishment of Risk Management 

Advisory Committee 

The Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission has determined to establish 

a new advisory committee, the Risk 

Management Advisory Committee. The 

purpose of the committee is to conduct 

public meetings and to make reports 

and recommendations to the 

Commission on risk management issues 

involving or relevant to participants in 

the markets regulated by the 

Commission. The reports and 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
15944 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 8, 2009 / Notices 

recommendations of the Risk 

Management Advisory Committee will 

be used by the Commission in 

evaluating regulatory and legislative 

issues falling within the Commission’s 

statutory responsibilities. The 

committee also will serve as a vehicle 

for informed discussion of emerging 

issues relating to risk management and 

for communication regarding such 

issues among the Commission, market 

participants, regulators, and other 

relevant persons. 

The Risk Management Advisory 

Committee will have no operational 

responsibilities. The Commission will 

seek to achieve a balanced membership 

by appointing representatives of a cross 

section of the groups and interests 

involved in or affected by the 

Commission’s actions relating to risk 

management. 

The Commission has determined that 

establishment of the Risk Management 

Advisory Committee is in the public 

interest and is necessary to enable the 

Commission to carry out its 

responsibilities in the most effective and 

responsive manner. Risk management is 

both a central purpose of the markets 

regulated by the Commission and a 

necessary component of their effective 

functioning. Recent economic 

developments have demonstrated the 

critical importance of risk management 

and the need for clearinghouses, firms 

and other market participants to 

thoroughly and systematically assess 

their risk management practices. Recent 

developments have similarly 

reemphasized the need for the 

Commission to effectively and 

efficiently assess industry risk controls, 

determine their ongoing effectiveness, 

and tailor oversight of regulated entities 

based upon accurate risk assessments. 

In these circumstances, an advisory 

committee focused on risk management 

will significantly advance the 

Commission’s ability to carry out its 

mission. 

The charter of the Risk Management 

Advisory Committee will become 

effective upon its filing pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. App. 2 section 9(c). The 

Commission expects to file the charter 

promptly upon completion of the 15 day 

notice period specified by 41 CFR 102– 

3.65(b). 

Interested persons may obtain 

information by writing to the

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre,
