Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 169 / Friday, September 1, 2023 / Notices 60441 

Northern Mariana Islands bottomfish 

fishery (only vessels longer than 40 feet) 

must allow NOAA to install VMS units 

on their vessels when directed by OLE 

personnel. VMS units automatically 

send periodic reports on the position of 

the vessel to OLE. NOAA uses the 

reports to monitor the vessel’s location 

and activities, primarily to enforce 

regulated fishing areas. NOAA pays for 

all costs related to the VMS systems for 

the aforementioned fisheries. There is 

no public burden for the automatic 

messaging; however, VMS installation 

and maintenance are considered public 

burden. 

Aside from updates to the burden 

estimates, there are no changes to the 

collection. 

II. Method of Collection 

Automatic electronic submission via 

satellite. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0441. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

69. 

Estimated Time per Response: 4 hours 

for installation of a VMS unit; 2 hours 

for VMS unit replacement, and 1.5 

hours for annual maintenance. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 131. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0 in VMS system installation 

and maintenance, recordkeeping, or 

reporting costs. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: 50 CFR 665.19. 

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request

Adjustment of Fees for Seafood 

Inspection Services 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of fee schedule for 

seafood inspection services. 

SUMMARY: The NMFS Seafood 

Inspection Program is notifying program 

participants that its fee schedule for 

fiscal year 2024 will remain as 

established on November 1, 2022. 

DATES: The fee schedule applies to 

services rendered as of October 1, 2023, 

until notified otherwise. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steven Wilson, Office of International 

Affairs, Trade, and Commerce, 301– 

427–8350 or at steven.wilson@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) operates a fee-for-service 

Seafood Inspection Program (Program) 

under the authorities of the Agricultural 

Marketing Act of 1946, as amended, the 

Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, and the 

Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970. The 

regulations implementing the Program 

are contained in 50 CFR parts 260 and 

261. The Program offers inspection, 

grading, and certification services, 

including the use of official quality 

grade marks which indicate that specific 

products have been federally inspected. 

Those wishing to participate in the 

program must request the services and 

submit specific compliance information. 

Since 1992, NMFS implemented 

inspection services based on guidelines 

recommended by the National Academy 

of Sciences, known as Hazard Analysis 

Critical Control Point (HACCP). 

Under the implementing regulations 

for the Program, fees are reviewed at 

least annually to ascertain that the 

hourly fees charged are adequate to 

recover the costs of the services 

rendered. Any necessary adjustments to 

fees are made in accordance with the 

requirements of 50 CFR 260.81 and are 

notified to program participants as 

stipulated at 50 CFR 260.70. This 

Federal Register notice serves to inform 

program participants of the fee 

schedule, which remains unchanged. 

Seafood Inspection Program (SIP) 

costs used for the calculation of user 

fees include all relevant direct and 

indirect costs to the program, and 

applicable administrative overhead and 

surcharges. SIP fees must be set to 

promote full cost recovery of the 

program absent other appropriations. 

Program costs include all field 

operations, program administrative 

overhead, and management, and include 

expenses for labor for inspectors, 

facilities, information technology 

infrastructure, and other operational 

costs. SIP fees are set to recover those 

costs based on revenue projections from 

expected billable service hours and the 

number of certificates requests. 

Forecasts of demand for services use 

historical data on actual billed services 

that are adjusted annually for inflation, 

known events that might affect the 

predicted output of billable services, 

and seasonality of when forecasted 

services will take place throughout the 

year. 

NMFS will assess its fees as outlined 

in this notice, which will apply until 

notified otherwise. Fees will be charged 

to contract and non-contract customers 

requesting services as listed below. The 

cost of other applicable services 

rendered will be recovered through fee 

collection using the base rate of $238 

per hour. 

Fees and Charges for the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (USDC) 

Seafood Inspection Program 

The per hour fees and charges for 

fishery products inspection services are 

not being revised and will remain as 

established on November 1, 2022 for 

Fiscal Year 2024 and will be assessed as 

follows. Any travel associated with a 

billable service will be an additional 

charge.

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DoD–2023–OS–0075] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of

and user agreements. This includes 

details of programs, databases, 

functions, and sites accessed and/or 

used, and the information products 

created, received, or altered during the 

use of IT systems. This new system of 

records will be included in the DoD’s 

inventory of record systems. 

DATES: This system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before October 2, 2023. 

The Routine Uses are effective at the 

close of the comment period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD is establishing ‘‘Information 

Technology Access and Audit Records 

(ITAAR)’’, DoD–0019, as a DoD-wide 

Privacy Act system of records. A DoDwide System of Records Notice (SORN) 

supports multiple DoD paper or 

electronic recordkeeping systems 

operated by more than one DoD 

component that maintain the same kind 

of information about individuals for the 

same purpose. Establishment of DoDwide SORNs helps DoD standardize the 

rules governing the collection, 

maintenance, use, and sharing of 

personal information in key areas across 

the enterprise. DoD-wide SORNs also 

reduce duplicative and overlapping 

SORNs published by separate DoD 

components. The creation of DoD-wide 

SORNs is expected to make locating 

relevant SORNs easier for DoD 

personnel and the public, and create 

efficiencies in the operation of the DoD 

privacy program. 

The purpose of this system is to 

control and track individual user access 

to and activity on networks, computer 

systems, applications, databases, or 

other digital technologies controlled by 

DoD Offices and Components. DoD may 

use the records in this system to 

investigate potential or alleged improper 

use or other improper activity by a 

system user, which may be a DoD 

employee, contractor, or other 

individual. Records from this system 

may be shared with or used by the 

appropriate investigative or 

cybersecurity organizations within the 

Office or Component with which the 

individual user is affiliated, other DoD
