benefits to the United States, as
described above.

Any vessel wishing to enter into a chartering arrangement with the United
States must be in full current compliance with the requirements
outlined in the NAFO Convention and
Conservation and Enforcement Measures. These requirements include, but are not limited to, submission of the following reports to the NAFO Executive Secretary: notification that the vessel is authorized by its flag state to fish within the NAFO Regulatory Area during 2014; provisional monthly catch reports for all vessels of that NAFO Contracting Party operating in the NAFO Regulatory Area; daily catch reports for each day fished by the subject vessel within the Regulatory Area; observer reports within 30 days following the completion of a fishing trip; and an annual statement of actions taken by its flag state to comply with the
NAFO Convention. The United States may also consider the vessel’s previous compliance with NAFO bycatch, reporting and other provisions, as
outlined in the NAFO Conservation and Enforcement Measures, before entering into a chartering arrangement. More details on NAFO requirements for chartering operations are available from Patrick E. Moran (see **ADDRESSES**).

What if I want to arrange for a transfer of U.S. quota allocations to another NAFO party?

Under NAFO rules in effect for 2014, the United States may transfer fishing opportunities with the consent of the receiving NAFO Contracting Party and with prior notification to the NAFO Executive Secretary. An applicant may request to arrange for any of the above U.S. opportunities to be transferred to another NAFO party, although such applications will likely to be given lesser priority than those that involve more direct harvesting or processing by U.S. entities. Applications to arrange for a transfer of U.S. fishing opportunities
should contain a letter of consent from the receiving NAFO Contracting Party, and should also be accompanied by a detailed description of anticipated
benefits to the United States. As in the case of chartering operations, the United States may also consider a NAFO Contracting Party’s previous compliance with NAFO bycatch, reporting and other provisions, as outlined in the NAFO
Conservation and Enforcement Measures, before entering agreeing to a
transfer. More details on NAFO requirements for transferring NAFO
allocations are available from Patrick E. Moran (see **ADDRESSES**). What if I want to arrange to receive a transfer of NAFO quota allocations from another NAFO party?

Under NAFO rules in effect for 2014, the United States may receive transfers of additional fishing opportunities from other NAFO Contracting Parties. The United States is required to provide a
letter of consent to this transfer and prior notification to the NAFO Executive Secretary. In the event that an applicant is able to arrange for the transfer of additional fishing opportunities from a fishing company of another NAFO Contracting Party, the United States may agree to facilitate such a transfer insofar as fulfilling the NAFO requirements for such transfers after soliciting additional public input on such transfers as appropriate. As in the case of chartering operations, the United States may also consider a NAFO Contracting Party’s previous compliance with NAFO bycatch, reporting and other provisions, as
outlined in the NAFO Conservation and Enforcement Measures, before agreeing to accept a transfer. Any fishing quota or other harvesting opportunities received via this type of transfer are subject to all U.S and NAFO rules as
detailed below. For more details on NAFO requirements for transferring NAFO allocations, contact Patrick E. Moran (see **ADDRESSES**).

What rules must I follow while fishing?

U.S. applicant vessels must be in possession of, or obtain, a valid HSFCA permit, which is available from the NMFS Northeast Regional Office. Note that vessels issued valid HSFCA permits under 50 CFR part 300 are exempt from the Northeast multispecies andmonkfish permit, mesh size, effortcontrol, and possession limit restrictions, specified in 50 CFR 648.4,

648.80, 648.82, 648.86, 648.87, 648.91, 648.92, and 648.94, respectively, while transiting the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) with multispecies and/or monkfish on board the vessel, or landing multispecies and/or monkfish in U.S. ports that were caught while fishing in the NAFO Regulatory Area, provided:

1. The vessel operator has a letter of authorization issued by the Regional Administrator on board the vessel;

2. For the duration of the trip, the vessel fishes, except for transiting purposes, exclusively in the NAFO Regulatory Area and does not harvest fish in, or possess fish harvested in, or from, the U.S. EEZ;

3. When transiting the U.S. EEZ, all gear is properly stowed in accordance with one of the applicable methods specified in 50 CFR 648.23(b); and

4. The vessel operator complies with the provisions/conditions specified on the HSFCA permit and all NAFO
conservation and enforcement measures while fishing in the NAFO Regulatory

Area.

Relevant NAFO Conservation and Enforcement Measures include, but are not limited to, maintenance of a fishing logbook with NAFO-designated entries; adherence to NAFO hail system requirements; presence of an on-board observer; deployment of a functioning, autonomous vessel monitoring system authorized by issuance of the HSFCA permit; and adherence to all relevant minimum size, gear, bycatch, and other requirements. Further details regarding U.S. and NAFO requirements are
available from the NMFS Northeast Regional Office, and can also be found
in the 2014 NAFO Conservation and
Enforcement Measures on the Internet (see **ADDRESSES**).

### 3574 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 14 / Wednesday, January 22, 2014 / Notices

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency’s jurisdiction. CPSC has issued more than 13,000 consumer product recalls since the agency’s creation in 1973.

Through CPSC’s Web site www.SaferProducts.gov, consumers, child service providers, health care professionals, government officials, and public safety entities can submit reports of harm involving consumer products. Manufacturers (including importers) and private labelers identified in reports receive a copy of the report and have the opportunity to comment on the report. Completed reports and manufacturer comments are published online at www.SaferProducts.gov for anyone to
search.

Through the Consumer Product Safety Apps Challenge, the CPSC seeks applications and innovative tools that raise awareness of consumer product safety reports and recalls of consumer products. Because many consumers get consumer product safety information online, CPSC seeks apps and tools that combine recalls and safety reports with online auction sites, online product reviews, search engines and other innovative places where consumers get product information.

CPSC intends to promote the winning applications and tools. Except as set forth in this Notice, CPSC does not plan to retain any intellectual property rights, or assert ownership rights relating to any Consumer Product Safety Apps Challenge submissions, applications or
tools.

Contest Requirements and Rules

1. Subject of the Contest: A key goal of the CPSC is to empower consumers with safety information about consumer products. CPSC is challenging developers to create applications (apps)
and innovative tools that raise awareness of consumer safety reports submitted to CPSC through its Web site, SaferProducts.gov, and inform the public of recalls of consumer products.

2. Amount of the prize: CPSC will award $1,000 to one winner in each of the following four categories: Best Mashup with Online Auction Sites; Best Mashup with Online Product Reviews; Best Mashup with Search; and Most Innovative. CPSC, in consultation with the judges, reserves the right in its
discretion not to make an award in one or more categories based on factors such as quality, quantity or nature of eligible

entries. 3. Participation in the contest will be through the Consumer Product Safety Apps Challenge on productsafetyapps.challengepost.com. CPSC will administer the challenge according to the rules and requirements posted on productsafetyapps.challengepost.com.

4. The rules in this Notice supplement
the rules on the productsafetyapps.challengepost.com
Web site. If there is a conflict between or among any requirement stated on productsafetyapps.challengepost.com and the provisions of this Notice, the provisions of this Notice will govern.

5. Important: Entries must be made through the productsafetyapps.challengepost.com Web site. Registration through productsafetyapps.challengepost.com constitutes ‘‘registration to participate in the competition,’’ required by Section 105(g)(1) of the Act.

6. Entries must comply with form, content, accessibility, platform, security, privacy, eligibility, and other requirements set forth on the productsafetyapps.challengepost.com

a. Contestants must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the judges: Usefulness, innovativeness, usability, and potential reach and impact.

• ‘‘Usefulness’’ is defined as the ability to empower users to engage with, and act on, consumer product safety information on an ongoing basis. The best apps will provide this safety information, tailored to the needs of the

user.

• For innovativeness, each entry will be rated for the degree of creativity the entry brings to applications focused on consumer product safety. Innovative approaches to reaching large numbers of consumers will score highest. Bonus points will be given for entries that add
a ‘‘fun factor’’ to enhance users’ knowledge about consumer product safety.

• ‘‘Usability’’ is defined as userfriendly and interactive. These capabilities will be awarded the highest marks. Entries should be applicable and attractive to people who are not necessarily ‘‘high tech.’’ Additional consideration will be given for usability by people in diverse populations.

• For potential reach and impact, the top tools will prove that they can engage a large number of consumers on a regular basis and will engage consumers in a way that encourages consumers to act upon the consumer product safety
information. b. Apps must be designed for the Web, a personal computer, a mobile device ( e.g., mobile phone, portable sensor), tablet, console, or any platform broadly accessible on the open Internet.
