mammals. This EFP would authorize up 

to 9 participating vessels in 2021 and 12 

participating vessels in 2022 to test 

ropeless systems in the Gulf of Maine 

Regulated Mesh Area (gillnet) and 

Lobster Management Areas 1 and 3 

(lobster trap/pot). Blue Planet Strategies 

is requesting exemptions from the 

following requirements: 

1. Gear marking requirements at 50 

CFR 697.21(b)(2) to allow for the use of 

a single buoy marker on a trawl of more 

than three traps; and 

2. Gear marking requirements at 

§ 648.84(b) to allow for the use of a 

single buoy marker on a gillnet. 

The participating gillnet fishermen 

typically fish 21 nets not longer than 

300 ft (91.44 m). One end of the gillnet 

will be marked according to regulations, 

the other end will test a lift bag system. 

The participating lobster harvesters fish 

between 2 and 45 traps per trawl in 

depths ranging from 50 to 300 ft (15.24 

to 91.44 m). One end of approximately 

4 trawls per vessel will be marked 

according to regulations, the other end 

will use either a lift bag system, a buoy 

and stowed rope system, or a spooled 

rope system. Both gillnet and lobster 

gear will test either acoustic or modem 

gear marking technology. A maximum 

of 100 gillnet deployments are 

anticipated in 2021 and 140 

deployments are expected in 2022, with 

a soak time of 96 hours. A maximum of 

200 lobster trap trawl deployments are 

anticipated in 2021 and 800 are 

expected in 2022, with a maximum soak 

time of 4–8 days. Sampling would 

largely occur from June to October in 

both 2021 and 2022, though the permit 

has been requested through December 

2022. Initial deployments would be 

overseen by an engineering team. 

We published a proposed rule (85 FR 

86878) on December 31, 2020 that 

would modify the Atlantic Large Whale 

Take Reduction Plan regulations at 

§ 229. The proposed rule included a 

new seasonal restricted area that falls 

within Area 1 that would be closed to 

buoy lines from October through 

January but would allow ropeless 

fishing. A final rule is expected to be 

published later in 2021. Should the 

closure be implemented and should 

investigators wish to access this area, 

additional EFP terms and conditions 

may be required. 

If approved, Blue Planet Strategies 

may request minor modifications and 

extensions to the EFP throughout the 

study. EFP modifications and 

extensions may be granted without 

further notice if they are deemed 

essential to facilitate completion of the 

proposed research and have minimal 

impacts that do not change the scope or 

impact of the initially approved EFP 

request. Any fishing activity conducted 

outside the scope of the exempted 

fishing activity would be prohibited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. OMD–33, Ensuring Workplace Health 

and Safety in Response to a Public 

Health Emergency 

The FCC is establishing OMD–33, 

Ensuring Workplace Health and Safety 

in Response to a Public Health 

Emergency, a system of records under 

the Privacy Act of 1974. The FCC is 

committed to providing all FCC staff 

with a safe and healthy work 

environment and to that end it may 

develop and institute additional safety 

measures in response to a public health 

emergency. These measures may 

include instituting activities such as 

requiring FCC staff and visitors to 

provide information before being 

allowed access to an FCC facility, 

medical screening, and contact tracing. 

Contact tracing conducted by FCC staff 

may involve collecting information 

about FCC staff and visitors who are 

exhibiting symptoms or who have tested 

positive for an infectious disease in 

order to identify and notify other FCC 

staff and visitors with whom they may 

have come into contact and who may 

have been exposed. Moreover, the FCC 

will use contact tracing data to submit 

required reports to local public health 

officials, in accordance with local 

public health mandates. 

Information will be collected and 

maintained in accordance with the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and 

regulations and guidance published by 

the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, the U.S. Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission, 

and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention. 

II. The Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is 

defined as a group of any records under 

the control of a Federal government 

agency from which information about 

individuals is retrieved by name or by 

some identifying number, symbol, or 

other identifying particular assigned to 

the individual. The Privacy Act 

establishes the means by which 

government agencies must collect, 

maintain, and use information about an 

individual in a government system of 

records. 

Each government agency is required 

to publish a notice in the Federal 

Register in which the agency identifies 

and describes each system of records it 

maintains, the reasons why the agency 

uses the information therein, the routine 

uses for which the agency will disclose 

such information outside the agency, 

and how individuals may exercise their 

rights under the Privacy Act.

This system is maintained by the 

Office of the Managing Director in the 

Commission’s Headquarters at 45 L 

Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

The system manager is the Managing 

Director located in the Commission’s 

Headquarters at 45 L Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20554. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The authority to collect this 

information derives from General Duty 

Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the 

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) 

Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 654), Executive 

Order 12196, Occupational safety and 

health programs for Federal employees 

(Feb. 26, 1980), Executive Order 13991, 

Protecting the Federal Workforce and 

Requiring Mask-Wearing, OMB 

Memorandum M 21–15, COVID–19 Safe 

Federal Workplace: Agency Model 

Safety Principles (Jan. 24, 2021), and the 

National Defense Authorization Act For 

Fiscal Year 2017 (5 U.S.C. 6329c(b)). 

Information will be collected and 

maintained in accordance with the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 

791 et seq.). 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

The information in the system is 

collected to assist the FCC with 

maintaining a safe and healthy 

workplace and to protect FCC staff and 

visitors working on-site from risks 

associated with a public health 

emergency (as defined by the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services and declared by its Secretary), 

such as a pandemic or epidemic. To that 

end, the FCC may develop and institute 

additional safety measures in response 

to a public health emergency. These 

measures may include instituting 

activities such as requiring FCC staff 

and visitors to provide information 

before being allowed access to an FCC 

facility, medical screening, and contact 

tracing. Contact tracing conducted by 

FCC staff may involve collecting 

information about FCC staff and visitors 

who are exhibiting symptoms or who 

have tested positive for an infectious 

disease in order to identify and notify 

other FCC staff and visitors with whom 

they may have come into contact and 

who may have been exposed within an 

FCC facility. Moreover, the FCC will use 

contact tracing data to submit required 

reports to local public health officials, 

in accordance with local public health 

mandates. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individuals covered by this system 

include FCC staff (e.g., political 

appointees, employees, detailees, 

contractors, consultants, interns, and 

volunteers) and visitors to a FCC facility 

during a public health emergency, such 

as a pandemic or epidemic. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

This system maintains information 

collected about FCC staff and visitors 

accessing or requesting access to FCC 

facilities during a public health 

emergency, including a pandemic or 

epidemic. It maintains biographical 

information collected about FCC staff 

and visitors such as their name, contact 

information, whether they are in a highrisk category or provide dependent care 

for individuals in a high-risk category, 

and recent travel. It maintains health 

information collected about FCC staff 

and visitors to a FCC facility, that may 

include temperature checks, expected or 

confirmed test results, dates, symptoms, 

potential or actual exposure to a 

pathogen, immunizations and 

vaccination information, or other 

medical history related to the treatment 

of a pathogen or communicable disease 

that is identified as part of a public 

health emergency. It maintains 

information collected about FCC staff 

and visitors to FCC facilities necessary 

to conduct contact tracing that may 

include the dates and which facility 

they visited, the locations that they 

visited within the facility (e.g., office 

and cubicle number), the duration of 

time spent in the facility, whether they 

may have potentially come into contact 

with a contagious person while visiting 

the facility, travel dates and locations, 

and a preferred contact number. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES: 

The information in this system is 

collected in part directly from the 

individual or from FCC management 

officials requesting access to an FCC 

facility on a person’s behalf. Information 

is also collected from security systems 

monitoring access to FCC facilities, such 

as video surveillance and turnstiles, 

human resources systems, emergency
