Taking of Threatened or Endangered Marine Mammals Incidental to Commercial Fishing
Operations
ACTION: Notice; request for comments
[TEXT] [PDF]
SUMMARY: NMFS proposes to issue a permit for a period of three years to authorize the incidental,
but not intentional, taking of individuals from six marine mammal stocks listed under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) by groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. In accordance with
the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS has made a preliminary determination that
incidental taking from commercial fishing will have a negligible impact on the endangered Central
North Pacific (CNP) stock of humpback whales, Western North Pacific (WNP) stock of humpback
whales, Northeast Pacific (NEP) stock of fin whales, North Pacific stock of sperm whales, and Western
U.S. stock of Steller sea lions; and on the threatened Eastern U.S. stock of Steller sea lions. NMFS has
insufficient funds to complete TRPs for the two stocks of humpback whales, for the North Pacific stock
of sperm whales, and for the Western U.S. stock of Steller sea lions. Take Reduction Plans (TRPs) are
not required for the NEP stock of fin whales or the Eastern U.S. stock of Steller sea lions because
mortality and serious injury of these stocks incidental to commercial fishing operations are at
insignificant levels approaching a zero mortality and serious injury rate. Recovery plans are being
prepared or have been completed for these threatened or endangered species. A monitoring plan is in
place, and vessels have been registered under the MMPA for the fisheries included in this proposed
permit. Accordingly, NMFS proposes to issue the required permits to participants in the Alaska-based
groundfish fisheries. NMFS solicits public comments on the negligible impact determination and on the
proposal to issue this permit.
DATES: Comments must be received by November 24, 2010.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Agency Information Collection Activities: Importation Bond Structure
ACTION: Paperwork Reduction Act 30-day notice and request for comments; Extension and revision of
an existing information collection: 1651-0050
[TEXT] [PDF]
SUMMARY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security will
be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act: Importation Bond
Structure. This is a proposed extension and revision of an information collection that was previously
approved. CBP is proposing that this information collection be extended with a change to the burden
hours and to CBP Form 301. This document is published to obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register (75 FR 50772) on August 17, 2010, allowing for a 60-day comment period. One comment was
received. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. This process is conducted in
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before December 9, 2010.
Title: Importation Bond Structure.
OMB Number: 1651-0050.
Form Numbers: 301 and 5297.
Abstract: Bonds are used to assure that duties, taxes, charges, penalties, and reimbursable expenses
owed to the Government are paid; to facilitate the movement of cargo and conveyances through CBP
processing; and to provide legal recourse for the Government for noncompliance with laws and
regulations. Any person who is required to post a bond to secure a customs transaction usually submits
the bond on CBP Form 301, Customs Bond, to CBP.
CBP proposes to revise CBP Form 301 in order to accurately reflect the changes that have occurred
with regard to CBP bonds. Specifically, the revised Form 301 will capture the new types of bonds which
have been authorized by law and regulation, as well as better harmonize this form with current and
future automation system requirements.
