SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3711a(d)(1) and the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 

App., notice is hereby given that the 

Judges Panel of the Malcolm Baldrige 

National Quality Award will meet on 

Wednesday, August 22, 2018, from 9:00 

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern time. The 

Judges Panel is composed of twelve 

members, appointed by the Secretary of 

Commerce, with a balanced 

representation from U.S. service, 

manufacturing, nonprofit, education, 

and health care industries. Members are 

selected for their familiarity with 

quality improvement operations and 

competitiveness issues of manufacturing 

companies, service companies, small 

businesses, nonprofits, health care 

providers, and educational institutions. 

The purpose of this meeting is to review 

the results of examiners’ scoring of 

written applications. Panel members 

will vote on which applicants merit site 

visits by examiners to verify the 

accuracy of quality improvements 

claimed by applicants. The meeting is

The Acting Chief Financial Officer/ 

Assistant Secretary for Administration 

and Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Administration, with the concurrence of 

the Assistant General Counsel for 

Employment, Litigation and 

Information, formally determined on 

March 7, 2018, pursuant to Section 

10(d) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, as amended by Section 

5(c) of the Government in the Sunshine 

Act, Public Law 94–409, that the 

meeting of the Judges Panel may be 

closed to the public in accordance with 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) because the meeting 

is likely to disclose trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information 

obtained from a person which is 

privileged or confidential and 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(9)(B) because for a government 

agency the meeting is likely to disclose 

information that could significantly 

frustrate implementation of a proposed 

agency action. The meeting, which 

involves examination of current 

Malcolm Baldrige National Quality 

Award (Award) applicant data from U.S. 

organizations and a discussion of these 

data as compared to the Award criteria 

in order to recommend Award 

recipients, will be closed to the public.

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: Atlantic Highly Migratory 

Species Permit Family of Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0327. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 37,105. 

Average Hours per Response: Renewal 

of Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit 

application, 5 minutes; renewal 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 10 minutes; initial 

Atlantic Tunas Dealer Permit 

application, 15 minutes; initial 

applications for the following vessel 

permits—Atlantic Tunas, HMS Charter/ 

Headboat, HMS Angling, and Swordfish 

General Commercial, 35 minutes; Onetime application for the IMO/LP 

number, 30 minutes. 

Burden Hours: 9,971. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

the revision and extension of a current 

information collection, which includes 

both vessel and dealer permits. 

Under the provisions of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq. ), the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible 

for management of the Nation’s marine 

fisheries. In addition, NMFS must 

comply with the United States’ 

obligations under the Atlantic Tunas 

Convention Act of 1975 (16 U.S.C. 971 

et seq. ). NMFS issues permits to fishing 

vessels and dealers in order to collect 

information necessary to comply with 

domestic and international obligations, 

secure compliance with regulations, and 

disseminate necessary information. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 635.4 require 

that vessels participating in commercial 

and recreational fisheries for Atlantic 

highly migratory species (HMS) and 

dealers purchasing Atlantic HMS from a 

vessel obtain a Federal permit issued by 

NMFS. This action addresses the 

renewal of permit applications currently 

approved under PRA 0648–0327, 

including both vessel and Atlantic 

Tunas Dealer permits. Vessel permits 

include Atlantic Tunas (except Longline 

permits, which are approved under 

OMB Control No. 0648–0205), HMS 

Charter/Headboat, HMS Angling, and 

Swordfish General Commercial permits. 

This action also includes the one-time 

requirement for commercial vessels 

greater than 20 meters in length to 

obtain a International Maritime 

Organization/Lloyd’s Registry (IMO/LR) 

number. 

The primary reason for the revision of 

this information collection is to reflect 

that HMS International Trade Permits 

have been removed from this collection 

as they were discontinued in 2016, and 

replaced with the International Fishing 

Trade Permit (IFTP). The IFTP is 

covered under OMB Control No. 0648– 

0732. Thus, the burden and costs 

associated with renewal and issuance of 

an initial HMS ITP are no longer 

applicable to this collection of 

information. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
