Community Demonstration Project
Program (CDPP). The primary function
of the vessel is to operate in a training
capacity to train Guam fishermen to
longline fish. Most fishermen have no
experience in offshore, multi-day
fishing trips or with using longline gear.
However, the operations of the GFC
vessel are constrained within the U.S.
EEZ around Guam due to a 50 nautical
mile exclusion zone for longline and
purse seine vessels around the island of
Guam and its offshore banks,
implemented in 1992 through
Amendment 5 to the Pelagics Fishery
Management Plan (PFMP). In 1992,
there was no domestic Guam longline
fishery but troll fishermen in Guam
were concerned about unrestricted
growth of longlining by U.S. vessels
from outside the territory following the
expansion of the Hawaii longline fishery
after 1987. In response to these
concerns, the Council recommended
in1990 the implementation of the 50 nm
closures around Guam and its offshore
banks in September. The Council also
established a control date of December
6, 1990 control date for entry into
longline fishery, although this date is
now redundant.
The original concerns about
expansion of U.S. longline fishing
home-ported out of Guam through
vessels migrating from other parts of the
U.S. now appear to be unfounded. As
such, the area closures developed in the
early 1990s may now be an unnecessary
impediment to the continued growth of
’domestic’ longlining on Guam.
However, troll fishermen on Guam still
wish to see some form of protection
from gear conflict with longline fishing,
especially some form of area closure
around the offshore banks, from where
about one third of fishing trips are
conducted.
At its 137th meeting, the Council
supported continued development of
longline closed area in Guam which
would encompass the locally designated
White Tuna Banks, an area of
importance to Guam’s troll fishermen.
Subsequently, a total of seven
alternatives have been analyzed by the
Council:
1. No action
2. Community Development Progam
3. Exploratory Fishing Permit
4. Reduce the longline exclusion zone
to a uniform 25 nm around Guam
5. Modify the existing longline area
closure to exclude only vessels over a
certain size class
6. Seasonal reduction in the longline
exclusion zone around Guam
The analysis of the seven alternatives
in the draft amendment document looks
at the impacts of longline fishing,

primarily on the existing troll fishery on
Guam, on protected and sensitive
species and fishery participants and the
fishing community on Guam. In the
absence of longline fishery data from the
GFC vessel, a proxy model was
developed based on deep set tuna
longline fishing by domestic longliners
in the Federated States of Micronesia,
coupled with observer data from the
SPC for this type of fishery. This proxy
was then used to look at longline
catches at low and moderate levels of
fishing effort associated with training
fishermen and a high level of effort
consistent with a commercial operation.
The Council may take final action at the
138th meeting and select a preferred
alternative for modifying the current
longline closed area in the U.S. EEZ
around Guam.
5. Hawaii-based Pelagic Vessels Nonlongline, Non-purse seine limited entry
(ACTION ITEM)
At its 137th meeting, the Council
recommended that the potential for a
limited entry program be investigated
for the Hawaii charter vessel fishery.
This recommendation stemmed from
the ongoing and planned expansion of
small boat harbors in Hawaii which may
afford greater number of charter vessels
to operate from Hawaii and Oahu. Catch
and effort data from both locations
shows that over a 20 year time span
catch rates for blue marlin have
declined by about 50–60%, while effort
has increased, particularly in recent
years. As a consequence of this
recommendation, a control rule was
published for the fishery dated May 11,
2007, after which new entrants are not
guaranteed future participation.
The Council may also wish to
consider whether it wished to limit
entry for other non-longline coastal
pelagic fisheries (NLCPs). Among the
reasons for considering such action are
new language in the Magnuson-Stevens
Reauthorization Act (MSRA) requiring
Councils to set Annual Catch Limits
(ACLs) for federally managed fisheries.
ACLs were designated in the MSRA as
another measure to ensure that stocks
are not overfished. Moreover,
conservation measures for bigeye and
yellowfin tuna stemming from the
Western and Central Pacific Fishery
Commission (WCPFC) are increasingly
focusing on fisheries other than purse
seining and longline fishing, and may in
the future require data on these fisheries
and possible limits on catches.
Consequently at the 138th meeting, the
Council may consider limiting entry for
NLCPs beyond charter vessels.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come

before these groups for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during these meetings. Action
will be restricted to those issues
specifically identified in this notice and
any issues arising after publication of
this notice that require emergency
action under section 305(c) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the Council’s intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

The Commission now announces that it
is submitting to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for extension of approval of that
collection of information.
These regulations were issued to
reduce hazards of strangulation,
suffocation, pinching, bruising,
laceration, and other injuries associated
with non-full-size cribs. The regulations
prescribe performance, design, and
labeling requirements for non-full-size
cribs. They also require manufacturers
and importers of those products to
maintain sales records for a period of
three years after the manufacture or
importation of non-full-size cribs. If any
non-full-size cribs subject to provisions
of 16 CFR 1500.18(a)(14) and part 1509
fail to comply in a manner severe
enough to warrant a recall, the required
records can be used by the manufacturer
or importer and by the Commission to
identify those persons and firms who
should be notified of the recall. OMB
previously approved the collection of
information under control number
3041–0012. OMB’s most recent
extension of approval will expire on
September 30, 2007.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION
Notification of Request for Extension
of Approval of Information Collection
Requirements—Safety Standard for
Bicycle Helmets
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In the February 12, 2007
Federal Register (72 FR 6535), 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 an extension
of approval of the collection of
information in the safety standard for
bicycle helmets (16 CFR part 1203).
These regulations establish testing and
recordkeeping requirements for
manufacturers and importers of bicycle
helmets subject to the standard. No
comments were received in response to
the notice. The Commission now
announces that it is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for extension of
approval of that collection of
information for a period of three years
from the date of approval.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1994,
Congress passed the ‘‘Child Safety
Protection Act,’’ which, among other
things, included the ‘‘Children’s Bicycle
Helmet Safety Act of 1994’’ (Pub. L.
103–267, 108 Stat. 726). This law
directed the Commission to issue a final
standard applicable to bicycle helmets
PO 00000
Frm 00029

that would replace several existing
voluntary standards with a single
uniform standard that would include
provisions to protect against the risk of
helmets coming off the heads of bicycle
riders, address the risk of injury to
children, and cover other issues as
appropriate. The Commission issued the
final bicycle helmet standard in 1998. It
is codified at 16 CFR part 1203.
The standard requires all bicycle
helmets manufactured after March 10,
1999, to meet impact-attenuation and
other requirements. The standard also
contains testing and recordkeeping
requirements to ensure that bicycle
helmets meet the standard’s
requirements. Certification regulations
implementing the standard require
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of bicycle helmets subject to the
standard to (1) Perform tests to
demonstrate that those products meet
the requirements of the standard, (2)
maintain records of those tests, and (3)
affix permanent labels to the helmets
stating that the helmet complies with
the applicable standard. The
certification regulations are codified at
16 CFR part 1203, Subpart B.
The Commission uses the information
compiled and maintained by
manufacturers, importers, and private
labelers of bicycle helmets subject to the
standard to help protect the public from
risks of injury or death due to head
injury associated with bicycle riding.
More specifically, this information
helps the Commission determine
whether bicycle helmets subject to the
standard comply with all applicable
requirements. The Commission also
uses this information to obtain
corrective actions if bicycle helmets fail
to comply with the standard in a
manner that creates a substantial risk of
injury to the public. OMB previously
approved the collection of information
under control number 3041–0127.
OMB’s most recent extension of
approval will expire on October 31,
2007.
