Statement (EIS) and the proposed

Council at public hearings on the draft

EIS and during the review period. The

Committee will develop

recommendations on the final

management measures for consideration

by the Council. Issues to be discussed

include: a controlled access program for

the directed red crab fishery; a potential

days-at-sea program for the directed

fishery; a potential trip limit for the

directed fishery; the establishment of

the fishing year for management

purposes; and other potential

Monday, January 14, 2002 at 10:00

a.m.—Monkfish Oversight Committee

Meeting.

Location: Courtyard by Marriott, 1000

Market Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801;

telephone: (603) 436–2121.

The Committee will review the

analysis of options under consideration

in Framework 1 to the Monkfish FMP,

and make a recommendation to the

Council for measures to be submitted to

NMFS for the fishing year starting May

1, 2002. Framework 1 contains

alternatives to the default measures for

Year 4 of the rebuilding program

contained in the FMP. Those default

measures would eliminate the directed

monkfish fishery. The Council is

considering various alternative

measures based on trip limit and Daysat-Sea (DAS) adjustments to either

achieve the same landings as in Year 2

(fishing year 2000–01), the preferred

alternative, or achieve the Year 2 and 3

total allowable catch targets (TACs), the

non-preferred alternative. Time

permitting, the Committee will take

public scoping comments on

Amendment 2 to the Monkfish FMP.

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

(see ADDRESSES) at least 5 days prior to

the meeting dates.

cards, transaction based telephone

interviews, commissary sizing, and

patron migration. The information

customer service and functional

training, new construction/renovations,

and changes in existing operations that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

(All respondents are authorized

patrons by DoD regulations, unless

otherwise described)

Commissary Sizing Survey

Surveys will support commissary

renovation and new construction based

on perceptions (aisles, bakery, fish, deli,

etc.) of patrons and will include

demographics and sale projections.

Possible Facility Sites

Patrons will input their answers to

questions concerning where they would

like new facility located, what

configuration (mall, off-post, minimarts, parking, etc.), and give their

opinions on concerns that will affect

their shopping experience. Will include

demographics, population maps, and

distribution centers.

Patron Migration Survey

These surveys will determine from

our patrons which commissary they will

migrate to and how sales will affect

renovation of receiving facility. Surveys

will assess other factors that may

determine a need form mini-marts or

other small grocery outlets.

BRAC and/or Closure Survey

These surveys will also be given to

local townships affected by base

closures and its economic impact on

surrounding communities, local

governments, small and large

businesses. The information collected

will allow decisions to be made about

keeping commissaries open, although,

the base has closed or some alternative

store for those patrons affected.

Commissary Operational Surveys

These surveys will supply

information on processes like TQM,

Process Action Team objectives, internal

coordination, and vender satisfaction.

Also, how DeCA personnel and patrol

services such as new computer systems

for checking groceries, how long patron

services such as new computer systems

for checking groceries, how long patrons

wait in line, store throughput and

queuing, transaction based comment

cards, and any new customer service

DeCA may want to implement that will

need patron support. The vehicle for

any survey whether it is by interview or

mailing will not burden the patron over

fifteen minutes.

Market Basket Surveys

These surveys support the differences

between commissary and private sector

supermarket prices and the average

savings to the commissary patron. Also,

we can determine price differences

between OCONUS and CONUS

commissaries. The patron will give their

perceptions on their savings in the

commissary versus local supermarkets.

Awareness Surveys

These surveys allow the customer and

DeCA to communicate with each other

on issues that will make their shopping

experience user-friendly. Telephones in

aisles for price checks and location of

products, TV videos in front of store for

specials, market products, and educate

patrons on their benefit are just a few

areas to keep the patron informed.

Customer service is making the patron

aware of new and innovative

alternatives to issues that will

communicate their desires.
