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 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 business 

owned 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. 

Grandfathered Permit Holders 

Participants in the industry-sponsored 

workshops on safe handling and release 

of sea turtles that were held in Orlando, 

FL (April 8, 2005), and in New Orleans, 

LA (June 27, 2005), were issued a 

NOAA workshop certificate in 

December 2006 that was valid for 3 

years. These workshop certificates have 

expired. Vessel owners and operators 

whose certificates expire prior to the 

next permit renewal or fishing trip must 

attend a workshop, successfully 

complete the course, and obtain a new 

certificate in order to fish with or renew 

their limited-access shark and limitedaccess swordfish permits. Failure to 

provide a valid NOAA workshop 

certificate could result in a permit 

denial.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

Department of Commerce: Trade 

Promotion Coordinating Committee 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Export Strategy To Support 

the National Export Initiative 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: In order to support President 

Obama’s National Export Initiative 

(NEI), the interagency Trade Promotion 

Coordinating Committee’s (TPCC) 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Working Group is developing 

a U.S. Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Export Strategy (the Strategy) 

to guide U.S. government programs 

supporting U.S. renewable energy and 

energy efficiency companies wishing to 

compete for sales abroad. The Strategy 

focuses on increasing exports of goods 

and services related to renewable energy 

and energy efficiency. Not included in 

this initiative are all goods and services 

that relate to the transport sector, 

including biofuels and biofuel 

feedstock. 

The TPCC Renewable Energy and 

Energy Efficiency Working Group seeks 

input from private businesses, trade 

associations, academia, labor 

organizations, non-governmental 

organizations, and other interested 

parties regarding foreign or domestic 

policies or conditions of competition 

that impede exports faced by exporters 

of the relevant goods and services; 

effectiveness or ineffectiveness of 

Federal government programs 

supporting U.S. exports of renewable 

energy and energy efficiency 

technology, including specific 

experiences with such Federal 

government programs; specific ways in 

which the Federal government can 

improve its programs to support exports 

of U.S. goods and services related to 

renewable energy and energy efficiency; 

Federal activities and programs that 

would benefit from increased 

interagency cooperation; and generally 

how the Federal government can better 

help U.S. businesses export more 

renewable energy and energy efficiency 

technologies. 

This input will be used to help guide 

the TPCC in its formulation of the 

strategy that will support the NEI, with 

the goal of doubling U.S. exports by 

2015. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

11:59 p.m. on July 10, 2010, to be 

considered. 

ADDRESSES: To provide input to the 

TPCC Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Working Group, please send

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

11, 2010, President Obama issued 

Executive Order 13534, which created 

the NEI in order to enhance and 

coordinate Federal efforts to facilitate 

the creation of jobs in the United States 

through the promotion of exports and to 

ensure the effective use of Federal 

resources in support of these goals, The 

Executive Order created the Export 

Promotion Cabinet, which coordinates 

with the TPCC, to provide the President 

a comprehensive plan within 180 days 

to carry out the goals of the NEI. In 

response to Executive Order 13534, and 

with a view to increasing the amount of 

U.S. exports related to Renewable 

Energy and Energy Efficiency, the TPCC 

Working Group on Renewable Energy 

and Energy Efficiency has agreed to 

prepare, in conjunction with other 

relevant TPCC Working Groups, a 

National Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Export Strategy for 

consideration by the Export Promotion 

Cabinet for inclusion in the NEI 

implementation plan. The Strategy will 

entail: (1) An evaluation of the current 

global renewable energy and energy 

efficiency energy market; (2) an analysis 

of overlaps and gaps in Federal 

government programs designed to boost 

exports related to renewable energy and

energy efficiency; and (3) goals of the 

TPCC Working Group on Renewable 

Energy and Energy Efficiency 

supporting the sector. The Strategy will 

be completed in September 2010 to 

coincide with the release of the first NEI 

report to the President. 

The Trade Promotion Coordinating 

Committee—The TPCC is an 

interagency committee that coordinates 

the development of U.S. Government 

trade promotion policies and programs. 

The TPCC is composed of 

representatives from 20 Federal 

agencies. The Department of Commerce 

and the Department of Energy co-chair 

the TPCC Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Working Group. Other 

Working Group agencies include the 

Export-Import Bank, the Overseas 

Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. 

Trade and Development Agency, the 

Small Business Administration, the 

Departments of Agriculture, State, and 

Labor, and the Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative. 

The TPCC Renewable Energy and 

Energy Efficiency Working Group—The 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Working Group is a subgroup of the TPCC focused on the 

coordination and development of 

government-wide export assistance to 

goods and services related to renewable 

energy and energy efficiency. The 

Renewable Energy and Energy 

Efficiency Working Group held its first 

meeting on January 22, 2010. 

The National Export Initiative—NEI is 

an Obama Administration initiative to 

improve conditions that directly affect 

the private sector’s ability to export. The 

NEI is intended to meet the 

Administration’s goal of doubling 

exports over the next 5 years by working 

to remove export barriers, by helping 

firms—especially small businesses— 

overcome the hurdles to entering new 

export markets, assisting with financing, 

and in general by pursuing a 

government-wide approach to export 

advocacy abroad, among other steps.
