National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Title: Contractor Labor Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0535—New. 

Summary of Collection: Agricultural 

labor statistics are an integral part of the 

primary function of the National 

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), 

which is the collection, processing, and 

dissemination of current State, regional, 

and national agricultural statistics. 

Wage rate estimates have been 

published since 1866 and U.S. farm 

employment estimates have been 

published since 1910. General authority 

for these data collection activities is 

granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section 

2204. Historically, NASS has only 

collected worker data related to farm 

workers who were hired directly by the 

farm operator either on a part-time or 

full-time basis. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Contract Labor Survey is a new data 

collection that NASS will begin 

conduction in October 2018 as a pilot 

survey. The pilot survey will help to 

better understand the contractor 

population, as well as the type of data 

that contractors can and will provide. 

The results of the pilot study will b used 

to improve the next biannual survey, 

which is scheduled for April 2019. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Farms.

Riverside County, California; 

Notification of Proposed Production 

Activity; ModusLink Corporation 

(Camera and Accessories Kitting); 

Riverside, California 

ModusLink Corporation (ModusLink) 

submitted a notification of proposed 

production activity to the FTZ Board for 

its facility in Riverside, California. The 

notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on June 28, 2018. 

ModusLink already has authority for 

the kitting of cameras and accessories 

into retail packages on behalf of Go Pro, 

Inc., within Site 11 of FTZ 244. The 

current request would add finished 

products and foreign status materials/ 

components to the scope of authority. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 

additional FTZ authority would be 

limited to the specific foreign-status 

materials/components and specific 

finished products described in the 

submitted notification (as described 

below) and subsequently authorized by 

the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt ModusLink from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

materials/components used in export 

production. On its domestic sales, for 

the foreign-status materials/components 

noted below and in the existing scope 

of authority, ModusLink would be able 

to choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to: 

Manfrotto/MBooms3K monopods; 

wireless transmitters; digital video 

camera bundles; pro seat rail mounts; 

karma upgrade kits (cameras, mounts, 

batteries, chargers, grips, and 

stabilizers); point of purchase displays, 

and lens replacement kits (duty rate 

ranges from duty-free to 10%). 

ModusLink would be able to avoid duty 

on foreign-status components which 

become scrap/waste. Customs duties 

also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign-status production 

equipment. 

The materials/components sourced 

from abroad include: Dog harness 

camera mounts; chest mount harnesses 

(textile); camera mount hardware; USB

storage batteries; belt buckles (unisex); 

women’s sweatshirts; men’s jackets; hats 

(unisex) and, WiFi remote keys and 

rings (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 

32%). The request indicates that textile 

bag packs; textile chest mount 

harnesses; bags, microfibers, and dive 

filters; camera cases; men’s knitted 

shirts; men’s t-shirts; women’s t-shirts; 

men’s sweatshirts; lithium-ion storage 

batteries; women’s sweatshirts, and 

men’s jackets will be admitted to the 

zone in privileged foreign status (19 

CFR 146.41), thereby precluding 

inverted tariff benefits on such items. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is August 

15, 2018.

available for public inspection at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The North Pacific Observer Program 

(Observer Program) is implemented 

under the authority of section 313 of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act and 

regulations at 50 CFR 679. Through the 

Observer Program, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) collects the 

data necessary to conserve and manage 

the groundfish and halibut fisheries off 

Alaska. Observers collect biological 

samples and fishery-dependent 

information used to estimate total catch 

and interactions with protected species. 

Managers use data collected by 

observers to manage groundfish and 

prohibited species catch within 

established limits and to document and 

reduce fishery interactions with 

protected resources. Scientists use 

observer data to assess fish stocks, to 

provide scientific information for 

fisheries and ecosystem research and 

fishing fleet behavior, to assess marine 

mammal interactions with fishing gear, 

and to assess fishing interactions with 

habitat. 

All vessels and processors that 

participate in federally managed or 

parallel groundfish and halibut fisheries 

off Alaska are assigned to one of two 

categories: (1) The full observer 

coverage category, where vessels and 

processors obtain observer coverage by 

contracting directly with observer 

providers; or (2) the partial coverage 

category, where NMFS, in consultation 

with the North Pacific Fishery 

Management Council determines when 

and where observer coverage is needed. 

Some vessels and processors may be in 

full coverage for part of the year and 

partial coverage at other times of the 

year depending on the observer 

coverage requirements for specific 

fisheries. Funds for deploying observers 

on vessels in the partial coverage 

category are provided through a system 

of fees based on the gross ex-vessel 

value of retained groundfish and 

halibut. This observer fee is assessed on 

all landings by vessels that are not 

otherwise in full coverage. Information 

collected for the observer fee is 

approved under OMB Control No. 0648– 

0711. 

II. Method of Collection 

Methods of submittal include online 

web applications, email, email 

attachments, verbal communication by 

telephone or in person, and on paper by 

mail or fax. The Observer Declare and 

Deploy System (ODDS) is an internetbased interface that is used by vessel 

owners and operators in the partial 

coverage category. ODDS is available 

online at https://

chum.afsc.noaa.gov:7104/apex/ 

f?p=140:1 or by phone at 1–855–747– 

6377. Copies of observer coverage 

category request forms are available on 

the NMFS Alaska Region website at 

https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/.
