Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise subject to the 

investigation is certified organic soybean 

meal. Certified organic soybean meal results 

from the mechanical pressing of certified 

organic soybeans into ground products 

known as soybean cake, soybean chips, or 

soybean flakes, with or without oil residues. 

Soybean cake is the product after the 

extraction of part of the oil from soybeans. 

Soybean chips and soybean flakes are 

produced by cracking, heating, and flaking 

soybeans and reducing the oil content of the 

conditioned product. ‘‘Certified organic 

soybean meal’’ is certified by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) National 

Organic Program (NOP) or equivalently 

certified to NOP standards or NOP-equivalent 

standards under an existing organic 

equivalency or recognition agreement. 

Certified organic soybean meal subject to 

this investigation has a protein content of 34 

percent or higher. 

Organic soybean meal that is otherwise 

subject to this investigation is included when 

incorporated in admixtures, including but 

not limited to prepared animal feeds. Only 

the organic soybean meal component of such 

admixture is covered by the scope of this 

investigation. The products covered by this 

investigation are currently classified under 

the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

1208.10.0010 and 2304.00.0000. Certified 

organic soybean meal may also enter under 

HTSUS 2309.90.1005, 2309.90.1015, 

2309.90.1020, 2309.90.1030, 2309.90.1032, 

2309.90.1035, 2309.90.1045, 2309.90.1050, 

and 2308.00.9890. 

The HTSUS subheadings and 

specifications are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes; the written 

description of the scope is dispositive.

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

the revision and extension of a current 

information collection. Under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Secretary 

of Commerce has the responsibility for 

the conservation and management of 

marine fishery resources. We, National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s (NOAA) National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and 

the Regional Fishery Management 

Councils are delegated the majority of 

this responsibility. The New England 

Fishery Management Council (Council) 

develops management plans for fishery 

resources in New England. 

In 2010, we implemented a new suite 

of regulations for the Northeast (NE) 

multispecies fishery through 

Amendment 16 to the NE Multispecies 

Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This 

action updated status determination 

criteria for all regulated NE multispecies 

or ocean pout stocks; adopted 

rebuilding programs for NE multispecies 

(groundfish) stocks newly classified as 

being overfished and subject to 

overfishing; revised management 

measures, including significant 

revisions to the sector management 

measures (established under 

Amendment 13) necessary to end 

overfishing, rebuild overfished 

regulated NE multispecies and ocean 

pout stocks, and mitigate the adverse 

economic impacts of increased effort 

controls. It also implemented new 

requirements under Amendment 16 for 

establishing acceptable biological catch, 

annual catch limits (ACLs), and 

accountability measures for each stock 

managed under the FMP, pursuant to 

the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

Sectors are a management tool in the 

groundfish fishery. A sector consists of 

three or more limited access NE 

multispecies vessel permits, with 

distinct ownership, who voluntarily 

enter into a contract to manage their 

fishing operations and to share liability.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 23, 2022 / Notices 16461 

A sector is granted an annual allocation 

of most stocks of fish managed by the 

NE Multispecies FMP. In return for 

increased operational flexibility, such as 

exemptions from certain effort controls 

and the ability to pool and trade quota, 

sectors have additional reporting and 

monitoring requirements. The sector 

reporting and monitoring requirements, 

as established by Amendment 16 and 

revised by subsequent framework 

adjustments to the NE Multispecies 

FMP, are contained within this 

information collection. 

This revision incorporates a number 

of recent changes. Amendment 16 

required sectors to develop and fund an 

independent third-party at-sea 

monitoring (ASM) program. 

Amendment 16 allowed sectors to use 

electronic monitoring (EM) instead of 

human monitors to meet ASM 

requirements, provided that the Greater 

Atlantic Regional Administrator deemed 

it sufficient. Using the authority and 

process granted to the agency in 

Amendment 16, NMFS announced its 

determination that sectors may use EM 

to meet monitoring requirements (86 FR 

16686; March 31, 2021). To implement 

this change, we are proposing to collect 

additional data elements necessary to 

support an electronic monitoring 

program. Specifically, we propose to 

require the development and 

submission of vessel monitoring plans 

and trip-level feedback reports, both of 

which are critical for accurate catch data 

and management of ACLs. We also 

propose to require the collection of 

information related to the purchase and 

installation of EM equipment. This is 

necessary for NMFS to reimburse 

industry’s ASM costs as directed and 

funded by Congressional 

appropriations. 

In 2020, the Northwest Atlantic 

Fisheries Organization (NAFO) 

established a new requirement that 

vessels fishing in the NAFO Regulatory 

Area must submit daily catch reports via 

a vessel monitoring system (VMS) and 

NMFS implemented this requirement to 

ensure compliance with NAFO 

reporting requirements. Daily VMS 

catch reports allow for near real-time 

quota monitoring and are necessary for 

the management of ACLs. 

This revision removes information 

collections related to VMS activation 

confirmation responses, time and costs, 

and the cost of purchase, maintenance 

and automated polling, which was 

transferred to OMB control number 

0648–0202. This revision also removes 

the Closed Area I Hook Gear Haddock 

SAP from the US/Canada Area and CA 

II SAPS, Closed Area I SAP and Regular 

B Program catch reporting estimates 

because NMFS removed the regulations 

implementing this SAP after it was 

eliminated as part of the Omnibus 

Essential Fish Habitat Amendment 2 (85 

FR 19129; April 6, 2020). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Frequency varies from 

collection to collection (e.g., annual, per 

trip, weekly). 

Respondent’s Obligation: Obligation 

varies from collection to collection (e.g., 

mandatory, voluntary, required to retain 

benefits). 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act.

including information on trip type, 

departure time, and transit through a 

protected species zone per 50 CFR 

665.803. Other fisheries are required to 

submit notifications of trip return, 

unloading, or sales reports per 

regulations in multiple Subparts of 50
