Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 122 / Monday, June 25, 2001 / Notices 33663

consider advice from the July 9, 2001

Advisory Panel meeting, and advise the

Council on which alternatives should be

further analyzed and described in the

Amendment 10 public hearing

document. The oversight committee’s

recommendations may be that some

alternatives need to be changed or

omitted from the developing

Amendment 10 document. The

committee will also discuss

consideration of a control date for

vessels that target sea scallops while not

on a scallop day-at-sea; a control date is

needed because the Council is

considering whether to limit general

category vessel access in Amendment

10; (the control date could apply to any

vessel with or without a general

category permit and/or to vessels that

have a limited access scallop permit and

that fish for sea scallops while not on a

day-at-sea). The Advisory Panel or

Oversight Committee may also

recommend adding alternatives to

Amendment 10 that were not proposed

by the Plan Development Team. The

formal Draft Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement

(DSEIS) and public hearing document

will be reviewed and approved by the

Council at the November 6–8 meeting,

before public hearings on the proposals.

Although non-emergency issues not

contained in this agenda may come

before this group for discussion, those

issues may not be the subject of formal

action during this meeting. Action will

be restricted to those issues specifically

listed in this notice and any issues

arising after publication of this notice

that require emergency action under

section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens

Act, provided the public has been

notified of the Council’s intent to take

final action to address the emergency.

Special Accommodations

These meetings are physically

accessible to people with disabilities.

Requests for sign language

interpretation or other auxiliary aids

should be directed to Paul J. Howard

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

SBNMS Advisory Council was

established in 1998 to assure continued

public participation in the management

of the Sanctuary. The past Council was

dissolved in 2000 and this recruitment

will establish a new Council to advise

the new Superintendent. Since its

establishment, the original Council has

played a vital role in the decisions

affecting the Sanctuary and surrounding

waters.

The Council’s fifteen voting members

represent a variety of local user groups,

as well as the general public. Six

ex-officio members will represent state

and federal governmental jurisdictions.

The Council represents the

coordination link between the

Sanctuary and the state and federal

management agencies, user groups,

researchers, educators, policy makers,

and other various groups that help to

focus efforts and attention on Sanctuary

issues.

The Council functions in an advisory

capacity to the Sanctuary

Superintendent and is instrumental in

helping to develop policies and program

goals, and to identify education,

outreach, research, long-term

monitoring, resource protection and

revenue enhancement priorities. The

Council works in concert with the

Sanctuary Superintendent by keeping

him informed about issues of concern

throughout the Sanctuary, offering

recommendations on specific issues,

and aiding the Superintendent in

achieving the goals of the Sanctuary

program within the context of SBNMS

programs and policies.
