Default What is this plug for and can it be removed?

What is this hole in the fender for? (the one with the little black plug in it) I am thinking it is for a brake line bracket or ???
I sent out my tins for paint and don't remember seeing this on the other fender. (2008 deluxe) I might have missed it, or maybe it is not on there. The other fender is dark so maybe I missed it.
Any way, I had him shave all the rivets and I want to make sure if it is there I have him fill it. I want to make sure I don't need it before telling him to fill it though.
So, what is it and do I need it?
