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: Southwest Region Permit

Family of Forms.

Form Number(s): None prescribed.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0204.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 65 hours.

Number of Respondents: 95.

Avg Hours Per Response: Ranges

between 30 minutes and 2 hours

depending on the requirement.

Needs and Uses: Permits are required

for persons to participate in Federallymanaged fisheries in the Western Pacific

Region. The permit applications forms

provide basic information about permit

holders and the vessels and gear being

used. This information is important to

understand the nature of the fisheries,

entry and exit patterns, and the extent

to which fishing is likely to effect the

stocks and businesses related to the

fishery. Permitting actions provide an

important link to the participants so that

the National Marine Fisheries Service

officials can explain the regulations that

apply to the fishery as well as

emphasize the importance of complying

with the regulations and reporting

requirements. This collection covers

three types of permits—basic permits,

limited entry permits and experimental

permits.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations, individuals or

households.

Frequency: Annually, on occasion,

variable.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

Number of Respondents: 1,018.

Avg Hours Per Response: Ranges

Needs and Uses: One of the steps

taken to manage regulated fisheries is to

issue permits to resource users. In the

[Docket A(32b1)–1–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 62—Brownsville,

TX; Request for Manufacturing

Authority AMFELS, Inc. (Offshore

Drilling Platforms/Shipbuilding)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Brownsville Navigation

District, grantee of FTZ 62, pursuant to

§ 400.32(b)(1) of the Board’s regulations

(15 CFR Part 400), requesting authority

on behalf of AMFELS, Inc. (AMFELS)(a

subsidiary of FELS Offshore PTE Ltd., of

Singapore), for the manufacture,

refurbishment and repair of mobile

offshore drilling and other oceangoing

vessels under FTZ procedures within

FTZ 62. It was formally filed on

February 25, 1997.

AMFELS operates a 133-acre facility

(800 employees) within FTZ 62-Site 8

(Brownsville Navigation District) for the

manufacture, refurbishment and repair

of offshore petroleum drilling/

production platforms (HTSUS#8905.20),

classified as oceangoing vessels. Up to

70 percent of the components of the

platforms are purchased from foreign

sources, including steel plates, high

pressure pipes and fittings, electric

cables, and steel cable anchor chains

(1997 duty rate range: free–6.2%, ad

valorem).

This application requests authority to

allow AMFELS to conduct the activity

under FTZ procedures, subject to the

‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’

applicable to foreign-origin steel mill

products, which requires that full duties

be paid on such items.

FTZ procedures would exempt

AMFELS from Customs duty payments

on the foreign components used in

export activity (currently 100% of

shipments). On its domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the

foreign electric cables and cable anchor

chains noted above. Foreign-sourced

steel mill products, such as pipe and

plate, would be subject to the full

Customs duties applicable to those

items. FTZ procedures would also

exempt certain merchandise from

certain ad valorem inventory taxes. The

application indicates that the savings

from FTZ procedures would help

improve the facility’s international

competitiveness.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and three copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is April 7, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to April 21, 1997).

A copy of the application will be

available for public inspection at the

following location: Office of the

Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade

Zones Board, Room 3716, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20230.
