Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Effective December 31, 2007, an
Atlantic shark dealer may not receive,
purchase, trade, or barter for Atlantic
shark unless a valid Atlantic Shark
Identification Workshop certificate is on
the premises of each business listed
under the shark dealer permit (71 FR
58057; October 2, 2006). Dealers who
attend and successfully complete a
workshop will be issued a certificate for
each place of business that is permitted
to receive sharks.
Dealers may send a proxy to an
Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop,
however, if a dealer opts to send a
proxy, the dealer must designate a proxy
for each place of business covered by
the dealer’s permit. Only one certificate
will be issued to each proxy. A proxy
must be a person who: is currently
employed by a place of business
covered by the dealer’s permit; is a
primary participant in the
identification, weighing, and/or first
receipt of fish as they are offloaded from
a vessel; and fills out dealer reports.
Additionally, after December 31, 2007,
an Atlantic shark dealer may not renew
a Federal shark dealer permit unless a
valid Atlantic Shark Identification
Workshop certificate for each business
location has been submitted with the
permit renewal application. Sixteen free
Atlantic Shark Identification Workshops
were held in 2007.
The workshop schedules, registration
information, and a list of frequently
asked questions regarding these
workshops are posted on the internet at:

participants will need to bring the
following items to the workshop:
Atlantic shark dealer permit holders
must bring proof that the individual is
an agent of the business (such as articles
of incorporation), a copy of the
applicable permit, and proof of
identification.
Atlantic shark dealer proxies must
bring documentation from the shark
dealer acknowledging that the proxy is
attending the workshop on behalf of the
Atlantic shark dealer, a copy of the
appropriate permit, and proof of
identification.
Workshop Objectives
The shark identification workshops
are designed to reduce the number of
unknown and improperly identified
sharks reported in the dealer reporting
form and increase the accuracy of
species-specific dealer-reported
information. Reducing the number of
unknown and improperly identified
sharks will improve quota monitoring
and the data used in stock assessments.
These workshops will train shark dealer
permit holders or their proxies to
properly identify Atlantic shark
carcasses.

Prohibition on Acquisition of Products

Child Labor
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD),
General Services Administration (GSA),
and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of request for comments
regarding an extension to an existing
OMB clearance.
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
Secretariat has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a
request to review and approve an
extension of a currently approved
information collection requirement
regarding prohibition on acquisition of
products produced by forced or
indentured child labor. A request for
public comments was published in the
Federal Register at 72 FR 67920 on
December 3, 2007. No comments were
received.
Submit comments on or before:
May 7, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this
burden to the Regulatory Secretariat
(VPR), General Services Administration,
Room 4035, 1800 F Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20405. Please cite OMB
Control No. 9000–0155, Prohibition on
Acquisition of Products Produced by
Forced or Indentured Child Labor, in all
correspondence.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT Mr.
Ernest Woodson, Contract Policy
Division, GSA (202) 501–3775.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
A. Purpose
This information collection complies
with Executive Order 13126, Prohibition
on Acquisition of Products Produced by
Forced or Indentured Child Labor,
signed by the President on June 12,
1999. Executive Order 13126 requires
that this prohibition be enforced within
the federal acquisition system by means
of: (1) A provision that requires the
contractor to certify to the contracting
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
officer that the contractor or, in the case
of an incorporated contractor, a
responsible official of the contractor has
made a good faith effort to determine
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product furnished
under the contract and that, on the basis
of those efforts, the contractor is
unaware of any such use of child labor;
and (2) A provision that obligates the
contractor to cooperate fully in
providing reasonable access to the
contractor’s records, documents,
persons, or premises if reasonably
requested by authorized officials of the
contracting agency, the Department of
the Treasury, or the Department of
Justice, for the purpose of determining
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product furnished
under the contract.
The information collection
requirements of the Executive Order are
evidenced via the certification
requirements delineated at FAR
22.1505, 52.212–3, 52.222–18, and
52.222–19.
To eliminate some of the
administrative burden on offerors who
must submit the same information to
various contracting offices, the Civilian
Agency Acquisition Council and the
Defense Acquisition Regulations
Council (Councils) decided to amend
the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) to require offerors to submit
representations and certifications
electronically via the Business Partner
Network (BPN), unless certain
exceptions apply. Online
Representations and Certifications
Application (ORCA) is the specific
application on the BPN to replace the
paper based Representations and
Certifications (Reps and Certs) process.
The change to the FAR is being
accomplished by FAR Case 2002—024.
The clearance associated with this case
referenced this OMB Control No. 9000–
0155 and reduced the hours of burden
by 35%—attributable to mandated use
of ORCA. This reduction is already
reflected in the figures below.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 500.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.
Hours Per Response: 0.325.
Total Burden Hours: 162.
OBTAINING COPIES OF
PROPOSALS: Requesters may obtain a

documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat
