sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in 

sugar containing products; or (3) used in 

production of certain polyhydric 

alcohols. The information requirements 

set forth in the regulation are necessary 

to enable FAS to administer the 

licensing program in full compliance 

with the regulation and to ensure that 

licensed imports do not enter the 

commercial sugar market in 

circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane 

sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: FAS 

will collect information to verify that 

the world-priced sugar is actually 

exported and not diverted onto the 

domestic market, thereby undermining 

the objectives of politically sensitive 

U.S. sugar policies. This collection 

enables USDA to monitor participants 

in an effort to ensure compliance with 

program parameters. Without the 

collection, there would be increased 

opportunity to divert sugar onto the 

domestic market..

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Title: Certificate to Import Specialty 

Sugars under the Tariff-Rate Quota for 

Refined Sugar. 

OMB Control Number: 0551–0025. 

Summary of Collection: The collect of 

information is necessary to fulfill the 

legal obligations of the regulation at 15 

CFR part 2011 subpart B to issue 

specialty sugar certificates, letters to 

importers signed by the Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS) Certifying 

Authority, and ensuring that U.S. 

importers comply with the program’s 

requirements. The regulation sets forth 

the terms and conditions under which 

the Certifying Authority in FAS issues 

certificates to importers allowing them 

to enter specialty sugars under the tariffrate quota (TRQ) for refined sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

collected information will be used to: 

(1) Determine whether applicants for the 

program meet the regulation’s eligibility 

criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be 

imported is specialty sugar and meets 

the requirements of the regulation; (3) 

audit participants’ compliance with the 

regulation; and (4) prevent entry of 

world-priced program sugar from 

entering the domestic commercial 

market instead of domestic specialty 

sugar market. The Certifying Authority 

needs the information to manage, plan, 

evaluate, and account for program 

activities. Less frequent collection or no 

collection would impede administration 

of the specialty sugar certificate program 

and reduce or eliminate imports 

essential to U.S. organic food and 

beverages processors.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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: Mariner Opinions of the Right 

Whale Mandatory Ship Reporting 

System. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (request for 

a new information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 

Average Hours per Response: 

Burden Hours: 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

new information collection. 

The North Atlantic right whale 

(Eubalaena glacialis) is an endangered 

marine mammal found primarily in 

waters off the northeastern coast of the 

United States to Canada. Fatal collisions 

with large ships are the primary threat 

to the recovery of this species. In 1998 

the United States proposed to the 

International Maritime Organization 

(IMO) the establishment of two 

Mandatory Ship Reporting (MSR) 

systems in key right whale habitat areas. 

Under the proposed MSR all vessels 300 

gross tons or greater are required to send 

a message to a shore-based station when 

entering either of two prescribed habitat 

areas. The IMO endorsed the proposal 

and the MSR systems were established 

in July 1999. Each reporting ship is 

required to provide vessel name, call 

sign, course, speed, location, 

destination, and route (e.g., waypoints). 

An automatically-generated message is 

sent directly to the reporting vessel that 

includes information on right whale 

locations and procedural guidance to 

help prevent vessel/whale collisions; 

mariners are also informed about 

additional regulations established to 

protect whales from vessel strikes. The 

two-way exchange is mediated by 

satellite-linked communications 

systems. 

Although the program has been in 

effect for over 15 years, the U.S. 

Government has not assessed the role, if 

any, that the MSR has in reducing ship 

collisions with right whales. In 

addition, mariners have not been polled 

to assess possible difficulties involved 

in the reporting itself. The goal of this 

information collection is to determine if 

(a) the reporting procedures are 

adequately clear to the mariner; (b) the 

reporting itself is onerous or unwieldy 

(e.g., it may interfere with other vessel 

operations); and (c) mariners use the 

information being sent to them and if so, 

how it is used to avoid collisions with 

North Atlantic right whales. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to OIRA_Submission@

omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.
