SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The 1990 reauthorization of the 

Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) 

authorized an awards program to 

‘‘implement a program to promote 

excellence in coastal zone management 

by identifying and acknowledging 

outstanding accomplishments in the 

field.’’ As authorized in Section 314 of 

the CZMA, the Walter B. Jones Awards 

recognize three categories of excellence: 

Coastal Steward of the Year, Excellence 

in Local Government, and Excellence in 

Coastal and Marine Graduate Study. The 

CZMA authorizes NOAA to conduct 

public ceremonies to acknowledge such 

awards, which allows NOAA to fund 

invitational travel and purchase awards 

for the Jones Awards. 

In conjunction with the Walter B. 

Jones Awards, NOAA instituted several 

additional categories of awards, to 

recognize additional contributions to 

ocean and coastal resource management, 

including Volunteer of the Year, Nongovernmental Organization of the Year, 

Excellence in Promoting Cultural and 

Ethnic Diversity (in honor of Secretary 

Ronald Brown), Excellence in Business 

Leadership, and the Susan Snow Cotter 

Award for Excellence in Ocean and 

Coastal Resource (NOAA re-named this 

award in honor of Susan Snow Cotter in 

2007). 

As part of conducting the awards 

program, NOAA will distribute a ‘‘Call 

for Nominations’’ to representatives 

from Federal, state, local and nongovernmental organizations and 

Members of Congress that work in, are 

knowledgeable of or benefit from, ocean 

and coastal resource management. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents may submit their 

nominations by direct mail, email, and 

fax.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has 

the responsibility for the 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. Thus, as regional 

Fishery Management Councils develop 

specific Fishery Management Plans 

(FMP), the Secretary has promulgated 

rules for the issuance and use of a vessel 

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) 

system, a Vessel Monitoring System 

(VMS) and vessel logbooks to obtain 

fishery-dependent data to monitor, 

evaluate, and enforce fishery 

regulations. 

Fishing vessels permitted to 

participate in federally-permitted 

fisheries in the Northeast are required to 

submit logbooks containing catch and 

effort information, about their fishing 

trips. Participants in the herring, tilefish 

and red crab fisheries are also required 

to make weekly reports on their catch 

through IVR. In addition, permitted 

vessels that catch halibut are asked to 

voluntarily provide additional 

information on the estimated size of the 

fish and the time of day caught. The 

information submitted is needed for the 

management of the fisheries. 

NE multispecies permit holders 

participating in the special access 

programs (SAP), the Category B (regular) 

Days-at-Sea (DAS) program, and fishing 

in the United States/Canada Resource 

Sharing Understanding Area are 

required to use VMS to electronically 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 102 / Friday, May 29, 2009 / Notices 25703 

submit reports of catch and discards for 

all trips. The submitted information is 

necessary to monitor groundfish stocks 

of concern and prevent overfishing. 

II. Method of Collection 

Most information is submitted on 

paper forms, although electronic means 

may be arranged. In the herring, tilefish 

and red crab fisheries vessel owners or 

operators must provide weekly catch 

information to an IVR system. In the NE 

Multispecies fishery, vessel owners or 

operators must declare catch and 

discards of groundfish species of 

concern through VMS for all trips. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0212. 

Form Number: NOAA Forms 88–30 

and 88–40. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business and other 

for-profit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,346. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

minutes per Fishing Vessel Trip Report 

page (FVTR); 12.5 minutes per response 

for the Shellfish Log; 4 minutes for a 

herring or red crab report to the IVR 

system; 2 minutes for a tilefish report to 

the IVR system; 30 seconds for 

voluntary additional halibut 

information; and 15 minutes to report 

catch and discards of groundfish stocks 

of concern through VMS. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 11,029. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $111,723. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c)

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the

Canada and the People’s Republic of 

China (PRC). On May 22, 2009, the ITC 

notified the Department of its 

affirmative determinations of material 

injury to a U.S. industry. See Citric Acid 

from Canada and China (Investigation 

Nos. 701–TA–456 and 731–TA–1151–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 13, 2009, the Department 

published its affirmative final 

determinations of sales at less-than-fairvalue in the antidumping duty 

investigations of citric acid from Canada 

and the PRC. See Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Citric Acid and Certain 

Citrate Salts from Canada, 74 FR 16843 

(April 13, 2009); and Citric Acid and 

Certain Citrate Salts from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR 

16838 (April 13, 2009). 

On May 22, 2009, the ITC notified the 

Department of its final determinations 

pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of citric acid 

from Canada and the PRC. See section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act. 

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of these orders includes all 

grades and granulation sizes of citric 

acid, sodium citrate, and potassium 

citrate in their unblended forms, 

whether dry or in solution, and 

regardless of packaging type. The scope 

also includes blends of citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as 

well as blends with other ingredients, 

such as sugar, where the unblended 

form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate constitute 40 

percent or more, by weight, of the blend. 

The scope of these orders also includes 

all forms of crude calcium citrate, 

including dicalcium citrate 

monohydrate, and tricalcium citrate 

tetrahydrate, which are intermediate 

products in the production of citric 

acid, sodium citrate, and potassium 

citrate. The scope of these orders does 

not include calcium citrate that satisfies 

the standards set forth in the United 

States Pharmacopeia and has been 

mixed with a functional excipient, such 

as dextrose or starch, where the 

excipient constitutes at least 2 percent, 

by weight, of the product. The scope of 

these orders includes the hydrous and 

anhydrous forms of citric acid, the 

dihydrate and anhydrous forms of 

sodium citrate, otherwise known as 

citric acid sodium salt, and the 

monohydrate and monopotassium forms 

of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also 

includes both trisodium citrate and 

monosodium citrate, which are also 

known as citric acid trisodium salt and 

citric acid monosodium salt, 

respectively. Citric acid and sodium 

citrate are classifiable under 

2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS), respectively. 

Potassium citrate and crude calcium 

citrate are classifiable under 

2918.15.5000 and 3824.90.9290 of the 

HTSUS, respectively. Blends that 

include citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate are classifiable under 

3824.90.9290 of the HTSUS. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive.
