Thursday, January 30, 2025 

The Council will lead off the third 

day of its meeting with the Atlantic 

Herring Committee report, which will 

begin with an update on Amendment 10 

to the Atlantic Herring Fishery 

Management Plan. Amendment 10 is an 

action to minimize user conflicts in the 

Atlantic herring fishery and address 

river herring/shad catch. The Council 

also will: (1) receive an overview of 

ASMFC’s 2024 river herring benchmark 

stock assessment; (2) discuss 

preliminary 2024 year-end catch 

information prepared by the Herring 

Plan Development Team; and (3) 

possibly consider revised 

recommendations for 2025 

specifications. The Scallop Committee 

will provide a presentation on the 

development of a Scallop Strategic Plan. 

The Council will review the workplan 

for this initiative and the schedule for 

outreach meetings. It also will receive 

an overview of the 2025 scallop work 

priorities. Next, members of the public 

will have the opportunity to speak 

during an open comment period on 

issues that relate to Council business 

but are not included on the published 

agenda for this meeting. The Council 

asks the public to limit remarks to 3–5 

minutes. These comments will be 

received both in person and through the 

webinar. A guide for how to publicly 

comment through the webinar is 

available on the Council website at 

https://s3.amazonaws.com/nefmc.org/ 

NEFMC-meeting-remote-participation_

generic.pdf. After public comment, the 

Council’s On-Demand Fishing Gear 

Conflict Working Group will provide a 

progress report on work towards 

addressing the group’s terms of 

reference, which include identifying the 

implications of on-demand fishing gear 

use for Council-managed fisheries. The 

Council then will close out the meeting 

with other business. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained on this agenda may come 

before the Council for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Council 

action will be restricted to those issues 

specifically listed in this notice and any 

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action 

under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act, provided the public 

has been notified of the Council’s intent 

to take final action to address the 

emergency. The public also should be 

aware that the meeting will be recorded.

[Docket No. CPSC–2024–0035] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Extension of Approval of 

Information Collection; Child Strength 

Study 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Information 

Collection; Request for Comment. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC or 

Commission) announces that the 

Commission has submitted to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request for extension of approval of a 

generic collection of information for a 

strength data collection study. OMB 

previously approved the collection of 

information under Control Number 

3041–0003. OMB’s most recent 

extension of approval will expire on 

January 31, 2025. On October 24, 2024, 

CPSC published a notice in the Federal 

Register to announce the agency’s 

intention to seek extension of approval 

of the collection of information. The 

Commission received one comment, 

which was out of scope. 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. 

DATES: Submit comments on the 

collection of information by January 30, 

2025. 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC 

seeks to renew the following currently 

approved generic collection of 

information: 

Title: Child Strength Study. 

OMB Number: 3041–0187. 

Type of Review: Renewal of generic 

collection. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Child participants 

and their caregivers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

We estimate 5,210 people will be 

invited for the study and 1,563 initial 

respondents will complete screening. 

Out of the initial respondents, 563 are 

expected to be screened out or not 

expected to ultimately participate after 

the invitation for study. We estimate 

that there will be 1,000 participants for 

the lab portion of the study. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time to complete a study 

session is 2 hours per participant. This 

does not account for the time for 

inviting and screening participants via 

phone conversations with the caregiver, 

which is an additional 12 minutes per 

respondent. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 

Based on CPSC’s estimates that 5,210 

people will be invited for the study (3 

minutes per invite), 1,563 initial 

respondents will complete screening (9 

minutes per screening) and there will be 

1,000 participants for the lab portion of 

the study (2 hours to complete each 

study session), CPSC estimates that the 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 250 / Tuesday, December 31, 2024 / Notices 107113 

total burden of this collection is 2,267 

hours. The average annual burden is 

approximately 756 hours; however, 

because of study timing and efficiency, 

a single year could have up to 1,850 

burden hours. There are no costs to 

respondents and no respondent 

recordkeeping requirements associated 

with the study. 

General Description of Collection: 

CPSC uses data on human strength and 

capabilities to develop consumer 

product safety standards and to inform 

other CPSC staff activities. Strength 

capabilities of children are used to 

develop product performance 

requirements in standards to reduce or 

eliminate the risk such products might 

pose to a child (e.g., a product breaking 

or collapsing, or liberation of a small 

part). The information to be collected 

from child participants ranging in age 3 

months to 5 years includes contact and 

background information necessary to 

participate in a study to obtain child 

strength measures for upper and lower 

extremities and bite strength. Written 

consent is obtained from caregivers and 

verbal assent is obtained from children 

who are old enough to provide it. 

Researchers will obtain several standard 

anthropometric measurements from 

each child, including body weight and 

standing height. Researchers also record 

the participant’s body shape using a 

whole-body laser scanner (VITUS XXL) 

and a Microsoft Kinect sensor.

Defense Technical Information Center 

(DTIC) announces a proposed public 

information collection and seeks public 

comment on the provisions thereof. 

Comments are invited on: whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; ways 

to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by March 3, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods:

instructions for submitting comments. 

Mail: Department of Defense, Office of 

the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense 

for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 

Mailbox #24, Suite 05F16, Alexandria, 

VA 22350–1700. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name, docket 

number and title for this Federal 

Register document. The general policy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title, 

Associated Form, and OMB Number: 

Defense User Registration System 

(DURS); OMB Control Number 0704– 

0546. 

Needs and Uses: DTIC requires all 

eligible users to be registered for access 

to DTIC’s repository of access-controlled 

scientific and technical information 

documents. This system is called the 

Defense User Registration System, or 

DURS. The registration of a user 

enforces validation of an individual’s 

identity, as well as that individual’s 

persona (i.e., whether the individual is 

DoD, Federal government, or a 

contractor supporting the DoD or 

another federal agency) and that 

individual’s authority to access limited 

and classified documents with 

distribution controls. A role-based 

environment based on a user’s 

identification ensures security for 

DTIC’s electronic information collection 

while the online systems increase 

availability of information to each user 

based on his or her mission needs. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households; Business or Other ForProfit; Not-For-Profit Institutions. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,325. 

Number of Respondents: 6,625. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 6,625. 

Average Burden per Response: 12 

minutes.
