Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0179.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 112.
Number of Respondents: 54.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA) (16 U.S.C. 1361
et seq., Sections 1371, 1373, 1374 and
1379), mandates the protection and
conservation of marine mammals and
makes the taking, killing or serious
injury of marine mammals, except
under permit or exemption, a violation
of the Act. An exemption is provided for
Alaskan natives to take marine
mammals if the taking is for subsistence
or for creating and selling authentic
native articles of handicraft and
clothing. The possession of marine
mammals and marine mammal parts by
other than Alaskan natives is therefore
prohibited (exception, 50 CFR 216.26:

beach found non-Endangered Species
Act (ESA) teeth or bones that have been
registered with National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS)). As native
handicrafts are allowed by the MMPA to
enter interstate commerce, an
exemption is also needed to allow nonnatives to handle the skins or other
marine mammal produce, whether to
tan the pinniped hide or to act as an
agent for the native to sell his handicraft
products.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; State, local or tribal
government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 21, 2007, the Department
issued its initiation and preliminary
results. See Initiation and Preliminary
Results. As part of the Initiation and
Preliminary Results, the Department
invited interested parties to submit case
and rebuttal briefs, and provided parties
the opportunity to request a hearing. Id.
at 46606. On September 20, 2007, the
Catfish Farmers of America and
individual U.S. catfish processors
(collectively ‘‘Petitioners’’) submitted
their case brief. No other party
submitted briefs. On September 25,
2007, Vinh Hoan Co., Ltd./Corporation
(‘‘Vinh Hoan’’) submitted a rebuttal
brief. Based on parties’ comments in
their case and rebuttal briefs, the
Department issued Vinh Hoan a
questionnaire on February 13, 2008, and
received its response on February 29,
2008. Because the Department issued its
questionnaire subsequent to the briefing
schedule, we invited parties to comment
on Vinh Hoan’s February 29, 2008,
response. See Memo to the File, dated
May 16, 2008. On May 23, 2008, the
Department received a supplemental
brief from Petitioners. On May 28, 2008,
the Department received a rebuttal brief
from Vinh Hoan. Based on continuing
questions regarding affiliation issues,
the Department issued Vinh Hoan and
its affiliate a supplemental
questionnaire on September 11, 2008,
and received their response on
September 29, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, we initiated
the 2007/2008 administrative review on
certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam.
