6484 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2008 / Notices 

I. Abstract 

The Large Pelagic Fishing Survey 

consists of dockside and telephone 

surveys of recreational anglers for large 

pelagic fish (tunas, sharks, and billfish) 

in the Atlantic Ocean. The survey 

provides NMFS with information to 

monitor catch of bluefin tuna, marlin 

and other federally-managed species. 

Catch monitoring in these fisheries and 

collection of catch and effort statistics 

for all pelagic fish is required under the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. The 

information collected is essential for the 

U.S. to meet its reporting obligations to 

the International Commission for the 

Conservation of Atlantic Tuna. 

Due to funding limitations, the Large 

Pelagic Fishing Survey has only been 

conducted from Maine through Virginia 

in previous years. In 2008 NMFS 

proposes to conduct pilot studies to 

characterize the recreational large 

pelagic fisheries in the South Atlantic, 

Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean regions. 

II. Method of Collection 

Dockside and telephone interviews 

are used for the Large Pelagic Fishing 

Survey. In lieu of telephone interviews, 

respondents may also provide 

information via faxed logsheets or 

online via a web tool. The pilot studies 

in the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, 

and Caribbean will use telephone 

interviews.

AGENCY: DoD, Office of the Under 

Secretary (Personnel and Readiness). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Servicemembers Civil 

Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App. 

Section 531, prohibits a landlord from 

evicting a Service member (or the 

Service member’s family) from a 

residence during a period of military 

service except by court order. The law 

as originally passed by Congress applied 

to dwellings with monthly rents of 

$2400 or less. The law requires the 

Department of Defense to adjust this 

amount annually to reflect inflation, and 

to publish the new amount in the 

Federal Register. We have applied the 

inflation index required by the statute. 

The maximum monthly rental amount 

for 50 U.S.C. App. Section 531 

(a)(1)(A)(ii) as of January 1, 2008, will be 

$2,831.13.

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
