Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration 

Posting of Stockyards

AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: We posted two stockyards. 

We determined that the stockyards meet 

the definition of a stockyard under the 

Packers and Stockyards Act and, 

therefore, needed to be posted. Posted 

stockyards are subject to the provisions 

of the Packers and Stockyards Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grain 

Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 

Administration (GIPSA) administers 

and enforces the Packers and Stockyards 

Act of 1921, as amended and 

supplemented (7 U.S.C. 181–229) (P&S 

Act). The P&S Act prohibits unfair, 

deceptive, and fraudulent practices by 

livestock market agencies, dealers, 

stockyard owners, meat packers, swine 

contractors, and live poultry dealers in 

the livestock, poultry, and meatpacking 

industries. 

Section 302 of the P&S Act (7 U.S.C. 

202) defines the term ‘‘stockyard’’ as 

follows:

* * * any place, establishment, or facility 

commonly known as stockyards, conducted, 

operated, or managed for profit or nonprofit 

as a public market for livestock producers, 

feeders, market agencies, and buyers, 

consisting of pens, or other inclosures, and 

their appurtenances, in which live cattle, 

sheep, swine, horses, mules, or goats are 

received, held, or kept for sale or shipment 

in commerce.

Section 302 (b) of the P&S Act 

requires the Secretary to determine 

which stockyards meet this definition, 

and to notify the owner of the stockyard 

and the public of that determination by 

posting a notice in each designated 

stockyard. After giving notice to the 

stockyard owner and to the public, the 

stockyard remains subject to the 

provisions of Title III of the P&S Act (7 

U.S.C. 201–203 and 205–217a) until the 

Secretary deposts the stockyard by 

public notice. 

We published notices proposing to 

post the two stockyards on October 8, 

2001 and November 7, 2003 (66 FR 

52887 and 68 FR 63055–63056, 

respectively). We received no comments 

in response to either of these proposed 

posting notices. 

This document notifies the public that 

the following two stockyards meet the 

definition of stockyard and that we 

posted the stockyards. To post 

stockyards, we assign the stockyard a 

facility number, notify the owner of the 

stockyard facility, and send notices to 

the owner of the stockyard to post on 

display in public areas of the stockyard. 

The date of posting is the date on which 

the posting notices are physically 

displayed.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35).

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Title: U.S.-Canada Albacore Treaty 

Reporting System.

Form Number(s): None.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0492.

Type of Request: Regular submission.

Burden Hours: 928.

Number of Respondents: 700.

Average Hours Per Response: 5 

minutes.

Needs and Uses: The 1981 Treaty 

Between the Government of the United 

States and the Government of Canada on 

Pacific Coast Albacore Tuna Vessels and 

Port Privileges (Treaty) provides for 

reciprocal privileges for vessels of one 

country to fish in waters under the 

fisheries jurisdiction of the other 

country and to use certain ports. H.R. 

2584 was enacted in 2004 and amended 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) to authorize 

the Secretary of Commerce, with the 

concurrence of the Secretary of State, to 

issue regulations needed to carry out 

U.S. obligations under the Treaty. On 

June 1, 2004, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented 

such regulations, and the information 

collection involved was then given a 

short-term authorization from the Office 

of Management and Budget. The 

regulations require U.S. vessel operators 

to report their desire to be on the list of 

vessels provided to Canada each year 

indicating vessels that are eligible to 

fish for albacore in waters under the 

fisheries jurisdiction of Canada; report 

in advance their intention to fish or 

transit before crossing the border from 

the U.S. to Canada, or vice versa; 

maintain and submit to NMFS logbooks 

of catch and effort covering fishing in 

Canadian waters; and mark their fishing 

vessels to facilitate effective 

enforcement.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

submitted to the Office of Management

Title: Reporting of Sea Turtle 

Entanglement in Pot Gear Fisheries.

Form Number(s): None.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0496.

Type of Request: Regular submission.

Burden Hours: 45.

Number of Respondents: 15.

Average Hours Per Response: 1.

Needs and Uses: Sea turtles can 

become accidentally entangled in active 

or discarded fixed fishing gear. These 

entanglements may prevent the recovery 

of endangered and threatened sea turtle 

populations. NOAA Fisheries had 

established the Sea Turtle 

Disentanglement Network to promote 

reporting and increase successful 

disentanglement of sea turtles. As there 

is limited to no observer coverage of pot 

gear fisheries, NOAA Fisheries relies on 

the U.S. Coast Guard, fishing industry, 

stranding network, Federal, state, and 

local authorities, and the public for this 

information. The information provided 

will help NOAA Fisheries better assess 

pot gear fisheries (lobster, whelk/conch, 

crab, fish trap) and their impacts on sea 

turtle populations in the northeast 

region (Maine to Virginia).

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households; not-for-profit institutions; 

Federal Government; State, Local or 

Tribal Government.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
