Notice is hereby given that
NOAA’s Office of Science and
Technology, Silver Spring, MD,
(Brandon Southall, Ph.D.—Principal
Investigator) has been issued a minor
amendment to Scientific Research
Permit No. 14534–02.
ADDRESSES: The amendment and related
documents are available for review
upon written request or by appointment
in the Permits and Conservation
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room
13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910; phone
(301) 427–8401; fax (301) 713–0376.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Courtney Smith or Howard Goldstein,
(301) 427–8401.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
requested amendment has been granted
under the authority of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222 through 226).
The original permit (No. 14534),
issued on July 2, 2010 (75 FR 39665)
through June 30, 2015 authorized
research on a variety of marine
mammals, and involves temporarily
attaching individual recording tags to
measure vocalization, diving and other
behaviors, and physiological parameters
before, during, and after carefully
controlled exposures of sound in
conventional playback experiments. The
research is focused in the waters within
the U.S. Navy’s Southern California
Range Complex, and primarily near the
vicinity of San Clemente Island. A
minor amendment to the permit (No.
14534–01) was issued on August 30,
2010 to combine long-beaked common
dolphins and short-beaked common
dolphins into a single ‘‘unidentified
common dolphin’’ category for takes by
harassment incidental to the playbacks.
A second, major amendment (No.
14534–02) was issued on May 14, 2012
(77 FR 33199) that added endangered
humpback whales (Megaptera
novaengliae) as an additional focal
species for tagging and intentional
exposure to sound playbacks with
associated behavioral observations. The
amendment also increased the number
of non-ESA listed minke whales
(Balaenoptera acutorostrata) and killer
whales (Orcinus orca) that may be
harassed annually.
The current minor amendment (No.
14534–03) extends the duration of the
permit through June 30, 2016, but does
not change any other terms or
conditions of the permit.
Dated: July 9, 2015.

I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), as amended in
1996, provides for the nomination for
members of Fishery Management
Councils by state governors and Indian
treaty tribes, for the designation of a
principal state fishery official who will
perform duties under the MagnusonStevens Act, and for a request by a state
for reinstatement of state authority over
a managed fishery. Nominees for
council membership must provide the
governor or tribe with background
documentation, which is then submitted
to NOAA with the nomination. The
information submitted with these
actions will be used to ensure that the
requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act are being met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: On February 23, 2012,
the White House released Consumer
Data Privacy in a Networked World: A
Framework for Protecting Privacy and
Promoting Innovation in the Global
Digital Economy (the ‘‘Privacy
Blueprint’’).1 The Privacy Blueprint
directs NTIA to convene
multistakeholder processes to develop
legally enforceable codes of conduct
that specify how the Consumer Privacy
Bill of Rights applies in specific
business contexts.2 On December 3,
2013, NTIA announced that it would
convene a multistakeholder process
with the goal of developing a code of
conduct to protect consumers’ privacy
and promote trust regarding facial
recognition technology in the
commercial context.3 On February 6,
2014, NTIA convened the first meeting
of the multistakeholder process,
followed by additional meetings
through June 2015.
Matters to Be Considered: The July 28,
2015 meeting is a continuation of a
series of NTIA-convened
multistakeholder discussions
concerning facial recognition
technology. Stakeholders will engage in
an open, transparent, consensus-driven
process to develop a code of conduct
regarding facial recognition technology.
The July 28, 2015 meeting will build on
stakeholders’ previous work. More
information about stakeholders’ work is
available at: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/
