St. S.E., Room 682, Olympia, WA 

98501–1091. 

Council address: Pacific Fishery 

Management Council, 7700 NE 

Ambassador Place, Suite 101, Portland, 

OR 97220–1384. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Chuck Tracy, Salmon Management Staff 

Officer, Pacific Fishery Management 

Council; telephone: (503) 820–2280. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the meeting is to develop a 

set of topics and assignments to assess 

the spawning escapement shortfalls for 

natural coho stocks from the Queets 

River in 2006–08, and from the Strait of 

Juan de Fuca in 2005–08. The 

assessment will focus on the role of 

fishing on the spawning escapement 

shortfall and on the implication to longterm productivity of the stocks of not 

meeting their conservation objectives. 

When a salmon stock managed by the 

Council fails to meet its conservation 

objective for three consecutive years, an 

overfishing concern is triggered 

according to the terms of the Pacific 

Coast Salmon Plan (Salmon Plan). The 

Salmon Plan requires the Council to 

direct its STT to undertake a review of 

the status of the stock in question and 

determine if excessive harvest was 

responsible for the shortfall, if other 

factors were involved, and the 

significance of the stock depression 

with regard to achieving maximum 

sustainable yield. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in the meeting agenda may 

come before the STT for discussion, 

those issues may not be the subject of 

formal action during these meetings. 

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 MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act, provided the public 

has been notified of the intent to take 

final action to address the emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

This meeting is physically accessible 

to people with disabilities. Requests for 

sign language interpretation or other 

auxiliary aids should be directed to Ms. 

Carolyn Porter at (503) 820–2280 at least 

5 days prior to the meeting date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NCWM is an organization of weights 

and measures officials of the States, 

counties, and cities of the United States, 

Federal agencies, and private sector 

representatives. These meetings bring 

together government officials and 

representatives of business, industry, 

trade associations, and consumer 

organizations on subjects related to the 

field of weights and measures 

technology, administration, and 

enforcement. NIST participates to 

promote uniformity among the States in 

laws, regulations, methods, and testing 

equipment that comprise the regulatory 

control of commercial weighing and 

measuring devices and other practices 

used in trade and commerce. 

The following are brief descriptions of 

some of the agenda items that will be 

considered along with other issues at 

the meeting. Comments will be taken on 

these and other issues during public 

comment sessions and many items will 

be considered for NCWM adoption. At 

this stage, the items are proposals. The 

Committees may also accept comments 

and where they will finalize 

recommendations for NCWM 

consideration and possible adoption 

during its voting sessions on July 15 or 

16, 2009. The Committees may 

withdraw or carry over items that need 

additional development. 

The Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee (S&T Committee) will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

Handbook 44, ‘‘Specifications, 

Tolerances, and other Technical 

Requirements for Weighing and 

Measuring Devices (NIST Handbook 

44).’’ Those items address weighing and 

measuring devices used in commercial 

applications, that is, devices that are 

normally used to buy from or sell to the 

public or used for determining the 

quantity of product sold among 

businesses. 

Issues on the agenda of the NCWM 

Laws and Regulations Committee (L&R 

Committee) relate to proposals to amend 

NIST Handbook 130, ‘‘Uniform Laws 

and Regulations in the area of legal 

metrology and engine fuel quality’’ and 

NIST Handbook 133 ‘‘Checking the Net 

Contents of Packaged Goods.’’ 

This notice contains information 

about significant items on the NCWM 

Committee agendas, but does not 

include all agenda items. As a result, the 

following items are not consecutively 

numbered. A copy of the complete 

agenda along with detailed background 

information is available at http:// 

www.ncwm.net/events/ 

index.cfm?fuseaction=meeting_archives. 

Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 44: 

Scales Code 

Item 320–1A and B—the S&T 

Committee is recommending adoption 

of several amendments to the current 

specifications for the mechanisms used 

on scales to set zero and tare values. 

Revisions to the definition for a tare 

mechanism are also proposed for the 

purpose of clarifying the requirements 

and increasing uniformity in their 

application. 

Liquid-Measuring Devices Code 

Item 330–1—Temperature 

Compensation for Liquid-Measuring 

Devices Code: This is not a voting item 

at this meeting but the S&T Committee 

will accept comments on a proposal to 

add provisions to Handbook 44 to allow 

retail motor fuel dispensers to be 

equipped with the automatic means to 

deliver product with the volume 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 112 / Friday, June 12, 2009 / Notices 28027 

adjusted to a reference temperature. (See 

also Item 232 under the L&R Committee 

which is presented below.) 

Item 336—Water Meters: The S&T 

Committee has recommended adoption 

of Item 336–1, which includes proposed 

amendments to specifications related to 

the design of water meters and will 

accept comments on other proposals 

under this section that address meter 

repeatability, test procedures, and drafts 

(i.e., the volumes used in testing and 

number of measurements made during 

an examination of a meter). 

The Laws and Regulations Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 130: 

Method of Sale of Commodities 

Regulation 

Item 232—Automatic Temperature 

Compensation (ATC) 

The L&R Committee will offer two 

ATC proposals for adoption. Both 

proposals require consumers to be 

notified that the fuel quantity is being 

temperature compensated so they can 

make value comparisons between 

sellers, and it will impose other controls 

on the use of ATC by sellers. 

Item 232–1 would allow the voluntary 

use of automatic temperature 

compensation in the sales of engine 

fuels at retail and other levels of trade 

beginning January 1, 2010, but will 

require all fuels to be sold, offered, or 

exposed for sale on a temperature 

compensated basis by January 1, 2020. 

Item 232–2 would allow sellers to use 

automatic temperature compensation in 

sales of engine fuels at retail and other 

levels of trade on a voluntary basis 

beginning January 1, 2010, but does not 

include a requirement that all fuels be 

sold, offered, or exposed for sale on a 

temperature compensated basis by any 

deadline. 

Note: If Item 232–1 is adopted by the 

NCWM Item 232–2 will be withdrawn. 

However, if Item 232–1 is not adopted by the 

NCWM, the committee will present Item 

232–2 to the NCWM for consideration. 

Item 232–3—Wood Flavoring Chips: 

The L&R Committee is recommending 

adoption of an amendment to the 

current method of sale regulation on 

flavoring chips by adding guidance on 

the appropriate units of measure to be 

used on small packages. 

Item 270–4—Method of Sale and 

Engine Fuel Quality Requirements for 

Hydrogen: The L&R Committee will 

accept comments on a proposal to 

establish a uniform method of sale and 

quality standards for hydrogen when it 

is offered for sale at the retail level as 

a vehicle fuel. 

The following item is a proposal to 

amend NIST Handbook 133: 

Item 260–1—The L&R Committee will 

consider several revisions to NIST 

Handbook 133 ‘‘Checking the Net 

Contents of Packaged Goods’’ to provide 

guidance for making allowances for 

moisture loss from packaged goods and 

to notify inspectors not to use the wet 

tare test procedures when verifying the 

net quantity of contents of packages of 

meat and poultry that bear a seal of 

inspection from the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and 

Inspection Service. The provision 

regarding wet tare is needed because 

USDA adopted, except for the wet tare 

procedure and other handbook sections 

not relevant to meat and poultry 

products, the 4th Edition of the 

Handbook 133 in September 2008. 

Other amendments have been proposed 

that will correct errors and omissions 

that have been identified since NIST 

Handbook 133 was last published in 

2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 4/10/2009, the Committee for 

Purchase From People Who Are Blind 

or Severely Disabled published notice 

(74 FR 68, pgs. 16367–16368) of 

proposed additions to the Procurement 

List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the services and impact of the additions 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the services listed 

below are suitable for procurement by 

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

I certify that the following action will 

not have a significant impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The major factors considered for this 

certification were: 

1. The action will not result in any 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small 

organizations that will furnish the 

services to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

services to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in 

connection with the services proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List.
