SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of this teleconference meeting is given under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The teleconference meeting agenda was published as part of the original notice on February 13, 2009, which can be found in the Federal Register at 72 FR 7243. The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires Federal Register publication 15 days prior to a meeting held in accordance with the Act. The original NOSAC teleconference meeting announcement was published in the Federal Register 13 days prior to the meeting due to delays in the renewal of the NOSAC Charter. Further, due to scheduling conflicts, we were unable to delay this teleconference to a date past February 26, 2009.

The Coast Guard has made all known interested parties aware of the teleconference meeting with sufficient time for planning purposes.

M.L. Blair,

Acting Director of Commercial Regulations and Standards.
