ACTION: Notice of a public meeting. AGENCY: NMFS will hold a meeting on a proposed cost recovery program for the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requires that the Secretary of Commerce establish a fee collection program for the recovery of the actual costs directly related to the management and enforcement of the CDQ Program. NMFS is seeking public input about the development of such a CDQ cost recovery program. DATES: The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2006, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the Federal Building and Courthouse Room 154, 222 West 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sally Bibb, CDQ Program Manager, 907– 586–7389 or sally.bibb@noaa.gov. NMFS is developing a cost recovery program to implement requirements of Section 304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which requires that the Secretary of Commerce establish a fee collection program for the recovery of the actual costs directly related to management and enforcement of individual fishing quota (IFQ) programs and CDQ programs. NMFS has already implemented cost recovery programs for the IFQ halibut, IFQ sablefish, and IFQ crab fisheries off Alaska. NMFS is developing an analysis in support of rulemaking to implement a cost recovery program for the fisheries managed under the CDQ Program. The Magnuson-Stevens Act proscribes many non-discretionary elements of cost recovery programs, such as the types of costs that may be recovered from the fishing industry, when applicable fees may be collected, and the disposition of such fees once paid. However, there are still a number of discretionary elements associated with a CDQ cost recovery program. These include such elements as: which entities would be required to pay fees; the species that would be wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:58 Apr 25, 2006 Jkt 208001 included in a cost recovery program; the basis for affected entities’ fee liability; and, how to incorporate a provision to allow the State of Alaska to apply for reimbursement of its CDQ Program management costs, among others. NMFS is conducting the May 18, 2006, meeting so that the public and participants in the CDQ Program may provide comments to NMFS on the development and implementation of the discretionary elements of the CDQ cost recovery program. 24649 Dated: April 20, 2006.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of January 25, 2006, 71 FR 4118, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or Commission published a notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the agency’s intention to seek extension of approval of collections of information in the flammability standards for children’s sleepwear and implementing regulations. Two comments were received in response to that notice. One comment supported the proposed extension of information collection for children’s sleepwear. One comment stated that over-the-counter samples should be tested and that the collection of information should be computerized and violations reported. Currently, the standard is enforced through the inspection of establishments manufacturing sleepwear, through retail surveillance and by follow-up to consumer and trade complaints. During these inspections, randomly selected samples are tested and samples required to be maintained by the standard, as well as record keeping that is required PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 by the standard, are examined. Information regarding violations of the standard are available on the recall section of the CPSC Web site at https:// www.cpsc.gov. Accordingly, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension of approval of the collections of information for three years from the date of approval. The standards and regulations are codified as the Flammability Standard for Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X, 16 CFR Part 1615; and the Flammability Standard for Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 14, 16 CFR part 1616. The flammability standards and implementing regulations prescribe requirements for testing and recordkeeping by manufacturers and importers of children’s sleepwear subject to the standards. The information in the records required by the regulations allows the Commission to determine if items of children’s sleepwear comply with the applicable standard. This information also enables the Commission to obtain corrective actions if items of children’s sleepwear fail to comply with the applicable standard in a manner which creates a substantial risk of injury. Additional Information About the Request for Reinstatement of Approval of Collections of Information Agency address: Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814. Title of information collection: Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 0 Through 6X, 16 CFR Part 1615; Standard for the Flammability of Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through 14, 16 CFR part 1616.
