Whaling Provisions; Aboriginal 

Subsistence Whaling Quotas 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; notification of quota for 

bowhead whales. 

SUMMARY: NMFS notifies the public of 

the aboriginal subsistence whaling 

quota for bowhead whales that it has 

assigned to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling 

Commission (AEWC), and of limitations 

on the use of the quota deriving from 

regulations of the International Whaling 

Commission (IWC). For 2014, the quota 

is 75 bowhead whales struck. This quota 

and other applicable limitations govern 

the harvest of bowhead whales by 

members of the AEWC. 

DATES: Effective March 4, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Office of International 

Affairs, National Marine Fisheries 

Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver 

Spring, MD 20910. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Melissa Garcia, (301) 427–8385. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Aboriginal 

subsistence whaling in the United States 

is governed by the Whaling Convention 

Act (WCA) (16 U.S.C. 916 et seq.). 

Regulations that implement the Act, 

found at 50 CFR 230.6, require the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to 

publish, at least annually, aboriginal 

subsistence whaling quotas and any 

other limitations on aboriginal 

subsistence whaling deriving from 

regulations of the IWC. 

At the 64th Annual Meeting of the 

IWC, the Commission set catch limits 

for aboriginal subsistence use of 

bowhead whales from the BeringChukchi-Beaufort Seas stock. The 

bowhead catch limits were based on a 

joint request by the United States and 

the Russian Federation, accompanied by 

documentation concerning the needs of 

two Native groups: Alaska Eskimos and 

Chukotka Natives in the Russian Far 

East. 

The IWC set a 6-year block catch limit 

of 336 bowhead whales landed. For 

each of the years 2013 through 2018, the 

number of bowhead whales struck may 

not exceed 67, except that any unused 

portion of a strike quota from any prior 

year may be carried forward. No more 

than 15 strikes may be added to the 

strike quota for any one year. At the end 

of the 2013 harvest, there were 15 

unused strikes available for carryforward, so the combined strike quota 

set by the IWC for 2014 is 82 (67 + 15). 

An arrangement between the United 

States and the Russian Federation 

ensures that the total quota of bowhead 

whales landed and struck in 2014 will 

not exceed the limits set by the IWC. 

Under this arrangement, the Russian 

natives may use no more than seven 

strikes, and the Alaska Eskimos may use 

no more than 75 strikes. 

Through its cooperative agreement 

with the AEWC, NOAA has assigned 75 

strikes to the Alaska Eskimos. The 

AEWC will in turn allocate these strikes 

among the 11 villages whose cultural 

and subsistence needs have been 

documented, and will ensure that its 

hunters use no more than 75 strikes. 

Other Limitations 

The IWC regulations, as well as the 

NOAA regulation at 50 CFR 230.4(c), 

forbid the taking of calves or any whale 

accompanied by a calf. 

NOAA regulations (at 50 CFR 230.4) 

contain a number of other prohibitions 

relating to aboriginal subsistence 

whaling, some of which are summarized 

here: 

• Only licensed whaling captains or 

crew under the control of those captains 

may engage in whaling. 

• Captains and crew must follow the 

provisions of the relevant cooperative 

agreement between NOAA and a Native 

American whaling organization. 

• The aboriginal hunters must have 

adequate crew, supplies, and equipment 

to engage in an efficient operation. 

• Crew may not receive money for 

participating in the hunt. 

• No person may sell or offer for sale 

whale products from whales taken in 

the hunt, except for authentic articles of 

Native American handicrafts. 

• Captains may not continue to whale 

after the relevant quota is taken, after 

the season has been closed, or if their 

licenses have been suspended. They 

may not engage in whaling in a wasteful 

manner.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. CPSC–2010–0075] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request—Safety 

Standards for Full-Size Baby Cribs and 

Non-Full Size Baby Cribs 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (Commission or 

CPSC) announces that the Commission 

has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request for extension of approval of a 

collection of information associated 

with the CPSC’s Safety Standards for 

Full-Size Baby Cribs and Non-Full-Size 

Baby Cribs (OMB No. 3041–0147). In the 

Federal Register of December 24, 2013 

(78 FR 77660), the CPSC published a 

notice to announce the agency’s 

intention to seek extension of approval 

of the collection of information. One 

commenter stated that drop-side cribs 

should not be eliminated because the 

problem is caused by cheap plastic 

hardware provided by the 

manufacturers. That comment is outside 

the scope of the proposed renewal 

request, which sought comments on the 

burden hours associated with 

recordkeeping requirements in the 

safety standards. Therefore, by 

publication of this notice, the 

Commission announces that CPSC has 

submitted to the OMB a request for 

extension of approval of that collection 

of information, without change. 

DATES: Written comments on this 

request for extension of approval of 

information collection requirements 

should be submitted by April 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments about 

this request by email: OIRA_

submission@omb.eop.gov or fax: 202– 

395–6881. Comments by mail should be 

sent to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk 

Officer for the CPSC, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10235, 

725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 

20503. In addition, written comments 

that are sent to OMB also should be 

submitted electronically at http://

www.regulations.gov, under Docket No. 

CPSC–2010–0075. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert H. Squibb, Consumer Product 

Safety Commission, 4330 East West 

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 

504–7815, or by email to: rsquibb@

cpsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC has 

submitted the following currently 

approved collection of information to 

OMB for extension: 

Title: Safety Standards for Full-Size 

Baby Cribs and Non-Full-Size Baby 

Cribs. 

OMB Number: 3041–0147. 

Type of Review: Renewal of 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers and 

importers of cribs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 78 

firms supply full-size cribs with an 

estimated 11 models per firm; 24 firms 

supply non-full-size cribs with an 

estimated 4 models per firm. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 

per model. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 954 

hours (78 firms × 11 models × 1 hours) 

+ (24 firms × 4 models × 1 hour). 

General Description of Collection: The 

Commission issued a safety standard for 

full-size cribs (16 CFR part 1219) and 

non-full-size cribs (16 CFR part 1220) in 

2010. The standards impose 

requirements on manufacturers and 

importers of cribs concerning marking, 

labeling, and instructional literature. 

The information collection covered by 

this notice relates to the annual burden 

hours associated with the requirements 

for marking, labeling, and instructional 

literature.
