ACTION: Notice. 

The Administrator of the Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS) today 

accepted and began a review of a 

petition for trade adjustment assistance 

filed under the Fiscal Year 2011 

program by the Maine State Pomological 

Society on behalf of apple producers in 

Maine. The Administrator will 

determine within 40 days whether 

increasing imports of apples contributed 

importantly to a greater than 15-percent 

decrease in the average annual price of 

apples compared to the average of the 

three preceding marketing years. If the 

determination is affirmative, producers 

who produce and market apples in 

Maine will be eligible to apply to the 

Farm Service Agency for free technical 

assistance and cash benefits.

Agreement; Section 203(o)(4) of the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericaUnited States Free Trade Agreement

Implementation Act’’), Pub. Law 109–53;

accompanying the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act; and Presidential 

Proclamations 7987 (February 28, 2006) 

and 7996 (March 31, 2006). 

Background: The CAFTA–DR 

Agreement provides a list in Annex 3.25 

for fabrics, yarns, and fibers that the 

Parties to the CAFTA–DR Agreement 

have determined are not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. The 

CAFTA–DR Agreement provides that 

this list may be modified pursuant to 

Article 3.25(4)-(5), when the President 

of the United States determines that a 

fabric, yarn, or fiber is not available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the territory of any Party. See 

Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–DR 

Agreement; see also section 203(o)(4)(C) 

of the CAFTA–DR Implementation Act. 

The CAFTA–DR Implementation Act 

requires the President to establish 

procedures governing the submission of 

a request and providing opportunity for 

interested entities to submit comments 

and supporting evidence before a 

commercial availability determination is 

made. In Presidential Proclamations 

7987 and 7996, the President delegated 

to CITA the authority under section 

203(o)(4) of CAFTA–DR Implementation

procedures it would follow in 

considering requests to modify the 

Annex 3.25 list of products determined 

to be not commercially available in the

In accordance with section

of CITA’s procedures, as no interested 

entity submitted a Response objecting to

ability to supply the subject product, 

CITA has determined to add the 

specified fabric to the list in Annex 3.25 

of the CAFTA–DR Agreement. 

The subject product has been added 

to the list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA–

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will

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: Reporting Requirements for Sea 

Otter Interactions with the Pacific 

Sardine Fishery Coastal Pelagic Species 

Fishery Management Plan. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0566. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 2. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 30 minutes (rounded 

up to 1 hour). 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. In accordance 

with the regulations implementing the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA), National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 

initiated an ESA section 7 consultation 

with the United States Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS) regarding the possible 

effects of implementing Amendment 11 

(71 FR 36999) to the Coastal Pelagic 

Species (CPS) Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP). USFWS determined that formal 

consultation was necessary on the 

possible effects to the threatened 

southern sea otter. USFWS completed a 

biological opinion for this action and 

although it was concluded that fishing 

activities were not likely to jeopardize 

the continued existence of the southern 

sea otter there remained the potential to 

incidentally take southern sea otters. 

USFWS determined that certain 

measures should be put in place to 

ensure the continued protection of the 

species. Therefore on May 30, 2007, 

NMFS published a final rule (72 FR 

29891) implementing new reporting 

requirements and conservation 

measures under the CPS FMP. This 

included the requirement to report any 

interactions that may occur between a 

CPS vessel and/or fishing gear and sea 

otters within 24 hours to the Regional 

Administrator (RA). With the exception 

of an entanglement, all other 

observations must be reported within 20 

days to the RA. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
