conservation and management of marine 

fishery resources. Much of this 

responsibility has been delegated to the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA)/National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 

Under this stewardship role, the 

Secretary was given certain regulatory 

authorities to ensure the most beneficial 

uses of these resources. One of the 

regulatory steps taken to carry out the 

conservation and management 

objectives is to collect data from users 

of the resource. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 648.84(a), (b), 

and (d), § 648.123(b)(3), § 648.144(b)(1), 

§ 648.264(a)(5), and § 697.21(a) and (b) 

require that Federal fishing permit 

holders using specified fishing gear 

mark that gear with specified 

information for the purposes of 

identification (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard 

official vessel number, Federal permit 

number, or other methods identified in 

the regulations). The regulations also 

specify how the gear is to be marked for 

the purposes of visibility (e.g., buoys, 

radar reflectors, or other methods 

identified in the regulations). The 

number of gear in the case of longline, 

pots, and traps is not the number of 

hooks, pots, or traps, but rather the 

number of attached end lines associated 

with each string of hooks, pots, or traps. 

A single Federal permit holder may be 

responsible for marking several strings 

of a given type of gear, or may use 

multiple different gear types that require 

marking for identification and visibility. 

The display of the identifying characters 

on fishing gear aids in fishery law 

enforcement, and the marking of gear for 

visibility increases safety at sea. 

II. Method of Collection 

No information is submitted to the 

NMFS as a result of this collection. The 

vessel official number or other means of 

identification specified in the 

regulations must be affixed to the buoy 

or other marker specified in the 

regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Departments of Commerce (DOC) 

and Homeland Security (DHS) are 

required to determine whether nonprofit 

institutions established for scientific or 

educational purposes are entitled to 

duty-free entry for scientific instruments 

the institutions import under the 

Florence Agreement. Form ITA–338P 

enables: (1) DHS to determine whether 

the statutory eligibility requirements for 

the institution and the instrument are 

fulfilled, and (2) DOC to make a 

comparison and finding as to the 

scientific equivalency of comparable 

instruments being manufactured in the 

United States. Without the collection of 

the information, DHS and DOC would 

not have the necessary information to 

carry out the responsibilities of 

determining eligibility for duty-free 

entry assigned by law. 

II. Method of Collection 

A copy of Form ITA–338P is provided 

on and downloadable from a Web site 

at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/sips/ 

appform.html or the potential applicant 

may request a copy from the 

Department. The applicant completes 

the form and then forwards it via mail 

to DHS. 

Upon acceptance by DHS as a valid 

application, the application is 

transmitted to Commerce for further 

processing.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Commercial Service (CS) is 

mandated by Congress to help U.S. 

businesses, particularly small and 

medium-sized companies, export their 

products and services to global markets. 

Additionally, the CS plays a leading role 

in achieving the President’s National 

Export Initiative and doubling exports 

within five years. To achieve its 

mission, the CS provides U.S. 

businesses with a range of export 

assistance services and resources 

including export counseling from one of 

our domestic Export Assistance Centers, 

educational webinars and seminars, an 

export-focused Web site (http:// 

www.export.gov), a trade-related help 

line (1–800–USA–TRAD(E)), 

international industry research, 

international business partner matchmaking services and basic due diligence 

services on potential international 

partners. 

The CS relies on client feedback to 

guide the development of services to 

meet client’s needs and to improve the 

effectiveness of its export assistance 

services. The CS uses an Annual 

Customer Satisfaction Survey to 

measure client’s overall satisfaction 

with the full array of services and 

experiences they have had with the CS 

on an annual basis. The survey 

specifically addresses: Client service 

principles, export assistance services 

and business practices. 

The Annual Customer Satisfaction 

Survey results enable the CS to 

prioritize the allocation of time, budget 

and resources to improve the export 

assistance services provided to U.S. 

companies. Without this information, 

the CS is unable to systematically 

determine the actual and relative levels 

of performance for attributes, identify 

the drivers or determinants of overall 

satisfaction, and provide clear, 

actionable insights for managerial 

intervention. 

II. Method of Collection 

The survey is deployed to a randomly 

selected sample of CS clients via an email message containing a link to a webenabled questionnaire. Two reminder 

messages are sent as needed to 

encourage customers to complete the 

questionnaire. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0625–0262.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance
