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 and 

monkfish 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

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 

Web site. 

7. Basis on which a winner will be 

selected: 

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. 

c. Applications developed for mobile 

phones must specify the specific 

operating system(s) on which the app 

runs and provide a site where the app 

can be downloaded. 

d. Applications must upload data 

within 24 hours of its release by CPSC 

to keep information current. 

8. Eligibility: To be eligible to 

participate in the Consumer Product 

Safety Apps Contest and win a prize: 

a. A contestant must create an account 

on the 

productsafetyapps.challengepost.com 

Web site by supplying his/her name and 

email address. Creating an account will 

constitute ‘‘registration to participate in 

the competition,’’ as provided in the 

Act. 

b. A contestant who is an individual 

must be at least eighteen (18) years of 

age, and be a citizen of or permanent

d. No application submitted in the 

Contest may use CPSC’s logo or official 

seal or the logo of SaferProducts.gov in 

any manner, nor may any contestant, 

application or submission claim or 

imply federal government endorsement 

or approval. Applications must make 

clear to consumers who access the 

application that use of the application 

establishes a relationship between the 

creator of the application and the 

consumer and that no user of the 

application will have any rights, 

whether contractual or otherwise, 

against or with respect to, CPSC. CPSC 

will merely provide a link or access to

willful misconduct) for any injury, 

death, damage, or loss of property, 

revenue or profits, whether direct, 

indirect, or consequential, arising from 

their participation in the Consumer 

Product Safety Apps Challenge, whether
