carrier injection from the drain-body
junction (PN junction at Body-to-DriftLayer interface) it has slow reverse
recovery time and may result in SiC
crystal degradation. The concept of
inclusion of reverse conducting SIR
junction shunts provides substantial
benefits by: (1) Bypassing current flow
from the inherent internal drain-body
junction preventing it from injecting
majority carriers and thus preventing
slow reverse recovery and crystal
degradation, and (2) enabling current to
flow for voltages lower than the drainbody junction built in potential (e.g.,
approximately 3 V for SiC) and thus
provides lower on-state losses than a
PiN diode for the lower current range
condition.

I. Abstract
Under current regulations at 50 CFR
635.6, fishing vessels permitted for
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species must
display their official vessel numbers on
their vessels. Flotation devices attached
to certain fishing gears must also be
marked with the vessel’s number to
identify which vessel is responsible for
the gear. These requirements are
necessary for law enforcement and
monitoring purposes.
Specifically, all vessels owners that
hold a valid Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) permit, other than an HMS
angling permit, are required to mark
their vessels with their vessel
identification number. The numbers
should be permanently affixed to, or
painted on the port and starboard sides
of the deckhouse or hull, and on an
appropriate weather deck, so as to be
clearly visible from an enforcement
vessel or aircraft. Furthermore,
fishermen that use longline gear must
mark high-flyers and terminal buoys
with their vessel identification number.
The gillnet fishermen must mark their
terminal buoys, and handgear or
harpoon fishermen must mark all buoys
attached to their gear with their vessel
identification number. Buoy gear
fishermen must mark all flotation
devices attached to certain fishing gears.
II. Method of Collection
There is no form under this
requirement. Official vessel numbers
issued to vessel operators are marked on
the vessel and on flotation devices
attached to certain fishing gears, if
applicable.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0373.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7,842.
Estimated Time per Response: 45
minutes to mark a vessel and 15
minutes to mark a flotation device.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 6,954.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $286,040.

the proposed collection of information

protection of U.S. oceans and coastal
resources by developing a national
system of marine protected areas. The
Departments of Commerce and the
Interior plan to work closely with state,
territorial, local, and tribal governments,
as well as other stakeholders, to identify
and inventory the Nation’s existing
marine protected areas. Toward this
end, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and DOI have created a data form,
available on a password-protected Web
site, to be used as a survey tool to
collect and analyze information on these
existing sites. This survey will allow
NOAA and DOI to better understand the
existing protections for marine
resources within marine protected areas
in the United States. This information
also would support activities on marine
protected areas by state and local
governments, tribes, and other
interested parties. The survey contains
directed questions regarding the
location, management and enforcement
authorities, types of protections and
restrictions, and the length of time those
protections or restrictions are in place
for each marine protected area. Basic
information about the resources and
activities at the sites will also be
collected. It is expected that site
managers from each marine protected
area will fill out the survey. The
collected information will be housed in
a searchable database that will be made
available to the public via the marine
protected area Web site at mpa.gov. The
survey has been used for the last six
years and this notice proposes to extend
the data collection OMB approval.
