75874 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 233 / Monday, December 5, 2011 / Notices 

2010, and 2011 operating years. Data 

from the 2009 and 2010 operating years 

provides information on the economic 

condition of the fishery prior to the 

implementation of catch share 

management in January 2011, and has 

been collected by the NWFSC. Data for 

the 2011 operating year, which will 

provide information on the first year of 

operation under the catch share regime, 

will be collected from all catcher vessels 

registered to a limited entry trawl 

endorsed permit, catcher processors 

registered to catcher processor permits, 

and motherships registered to 

mothership permits, first receivers, and 

shorebased processors that received 

round or head-and-gutted individual 

fishing quota (IFQ) groundfish or 

whiting from a first receiver. 

Based on review of the completed 

economic data collection (EDC) forms 

submitted for the 2009 and 2010 

operating years as well as discussions 

with survey respondents, the NWFSC 

seeks to modify the four forms which 

are used in this information collection. 

These modifications clarify instructions, 

make the requests for information more 

consistent with the accounting/ 

bookkeeping systems used by survey 

recipients, and continue to facilitate 

meeting MSA requirements for 

evaluation of the economic effect of 

catch share management on the West 

Coast groundfish limited entry trawl 

fishery. 

As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC 

forms due on September 1, 2012 will 

provide data for the 2011 operating year. 

The definition of the survey 

population is different for 2011 data, to 

account for differences between the 

requirements for the baseline collection 

and ongoing collections as defined in 

the regulations. To capture vessel 

improvements and repairs to vessels 

that did not harvest any groundfish or 

were operated by lessees, in the 2011 

data collection, as well as to collect 

more complete information about 

shoreside operations that do not process 

fish, completion of each form in its 

entirety will be required for all owners 

of vessels registered to a limited entry 

trawl endorsed permit, a mothership 

permit, or a catcher processor permit, 

owners of a first receiver site license, 

and owners or lessees of a shorebased 

processor that received round or 

headed-and-gutted IFQ species 

groundfish or whiting from a first 

receiver. This is in contrast to the 2009 

and 2010 data collection which allowed 

entities that did not harvest or process 

any groundfish to complete only the 

first four pages of the forms. 

Other minor modifications to the 

catcher vessel forms include asking for 

information about lease dates of the 

vessel, and the addition of several 

expense categories based on feedback 

from the 2009 and 2010 data collections. 

The first receiver and shorebased 

processor form was modified to better 

align with accounting practices and to 

clarify the information required for 

reporting fish purchases. There were no 

other changes to the mothership or 

catcher processors forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD is 

interested in obtaining input from the 

public with regard to the risks to the 

contractors and the Government 

associated with using open source 

software on DoD contracts in the 

following areas: 

• What are the risks that open source 

software may include proprietary or 

copyrighted material incorporated into 

the open source software without the 

authorization of the actual author, 

thereby exposing the Government and 

contractors who use or deliver the open 

source software to potential copyright 

infringement liability? 

• Are contractors facing performance 

and warranty deficiencies to the extent 

that the open source software does not 

meet contract requirements, and the 

open source software license leaves the 

contractors without recourse? 

• To what extent should the DFARS 

be revised to specify clearly the rights 

the Government obtains when a 

contractor acquires open source 

software for the Government, and why?
