 |Request for Extension of Time to Respond to EPA Survey 

|

>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|

Don,

Pursuant to our teleconference today, I am making a request on behalf

of the following entities for an extension of time to respond to EPA's

"Questionnaire for Canned and Preserved Seafood Processing Facilities in

Certain Locations of Alaska":

1. Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Alyeska Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Westward Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Peter Pan Seafoods, Seattle, WA

 Maruha/Nichiro, c/o Premier Pacific Seafoods, Seattle, WA

2. Trident Seafoods, Seattle, WA

3. Icicle Seafoods, Seattle, WA

4. Ocean Beauty Seafoods, Seattle, WA

As we described on the teleconference, each of the entities above are

commencing their busiest production seasons as the herring, salmon, and

B season pollock fisheries begin in Alaska. Each company is extremely

busy with commencing production and the competent personnel required to

complete the questionnaire will be consumed with compliance with all

operational environmental regulations and those responsible for the

financial section of the questionnaire will be busy with the financing

needs required for seafood production. In addition, as was explained by

John Woodruff of Icicle Seafoods, many of the facilities that are

targeted by the questionnaire are now deployed in various remote

locations in Alaska. Those facilities have limited communications and

the personnel required to respond to the questionnaire are responsible

for day to day operations of the facility once production has commenced.
The herring season generally runs from March 15 through the 1st of

June; salmon generally runs from 15 May through 31 August; the B season

for pollock generally runs from 10 June through 15 October. The

production facilities where the information necessary to complete the

questionnaire are spread throughout Alaska and are separated by

thousands of miles depending upon the location and species being

produced. Many of the questionnaires need to be transferred in hard copy

as electronic mail is not available on some of the facility platforms.

We respectfully request an extension of time to complete the

questionnaires by 1 October 2010. That date will provide enough time to

complete the surveys with the proper personnel once the majority of

seafood production has finished.

We appreciate very much your consideration of our request. Please let

me know if you have any further questions and would you kindly

acknowledge receipt of this email as a valid extension request for the

afore-mentioned entities.

Thank you,

John
