SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Red

Snapper Individual Transferable Quota

(ITQ) Appeals Board established by the

Council will meet at each site (see

ADDRESSES) to review appeals of

commercial red snapper fishermen who

dispute landings and other information

used to assign to them ITQ shares of the

commercial red snapper quota.

Owners and operators of permitted

reef fish vessels have been notified by

NMFS of the appeals processes and the

requirement to submit a written appeal

setting forth the nature of the dispute

and attaching copies of relevant records.

NMFS also provided each owner and/or

operator with an estimate of his or her

ITQ share and the 1990–91 landings

records upon which the share was

based, and relevant records for

‘‘historical captain’’ status that would

entitle that person to a share. Persons

filing written appeals with NMFS by

opportunity to testify before the appeals

board and will be notified by the

Council of the times and places of

reviews of their appeals.

A copy of each written appeal and the

appended information will be provided

to each member of the appeals board

and summarized by Council/NMFS

staffs. The board members will then

discuss the case, hear testimony from

persons making the appeals, and

individually fill out forms

recommending (1) approval of an

appeal, (2) denial of the appeal, or (3)

abstention on the issue. The completed

forms will be provided by the Council

representative daily by mail to the

Director, Southeast Region, in St.

Petersburg, FL for final decisions on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft

EIS was prepared pursuant to the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (NEPA) [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.],

the Council on Environmental Quality’s

NEPA regulations [40 CFR Parts 1500–

1508] and the DOE NEPA regulations

[10 CFR Part 1021].

The Department proposes to establish

a medical isotope production project

that would ensure a reliable domestic

supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and

related medical isotopes (iodine-125,

iodine-131, and xenon-133). Mo-99

decays to form technetium-99m (Tc99m), an important medical isotope.

Radioactive isotopes are used in more

than 38,000 diagnostic medical

procedures each day in the United

States. Tc-99m is used in over 80

percent of these procedures.

The United States medical

community now relies on a single small

nuclear reactor in Canada for its entire

supply of Mo-99. The near term goal of
