I. Abstract
This request is for an extension
without change of a currently approved
information collection. The National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
manages the crab fisheries in the waters
off the coast of Alaska under the Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) for the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Crab.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (Magnuson-Stevens
Act) mandated the Secretary of
Commerce to implement the Crab
Rationalization Program (CR Program)
for the BSAI Management Area (BSAI)
crab fisheries. The CR Program allocates
BSAI crab resources among harvesters,
processors, and coastal communities
and monitors the ‘‘economic stability for
harvesters, processors, and coastal
communities.’’ The Magnuson-Stevens
Act provides specific guidance on the
CR Program’s mandatory economic data
collection report (EDR) used to assess
the efficacy of the CR Program. Data
from the EDR will directly contribute to
ongoing evaluation of potential antitrust and anti-competitive practices in
the crab industry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The purpose of this data collection
program is to improve commercial
fisheries socioeconomic data for North
Pacific fisheries, using the community
as the unit of reporting and analysis.
Communities are often the focus of
policy mandates (e.g. National Standard
8 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries
Management Act (MSA), social impact
assessments under the National
Environmental Policy Act and MSA,
North Pacific Fishery Management
Council (NPFMC) programmatic
management goals, etc.) and are
frequently a recognized stakeholder in
NPFMC deliberations and programs.
However, much of the existing
commercial socioeconomic data is
collected and organized around
different units of analysis, such as
counties (boroughs), fishing firms,
vessels, sectors, and gear groups. It is
often difficult to aggregate or
disaggregate these data for analysis at
the individual community or regional
level. In addition, at present, some
relevant community level
socioeconomic data are simply not
collected at all. The NPFMC, the Alaska
Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), and
community stakeholder organizations,
have identified ongoing collection of
community level economic and
socioeconomic information, specifically
related to commercial fisheries, as a
priority.
The proposed data collection will
include information on community
revenues based in the fisheries
economy, population fluctuations,
vessel expenditures in ports, fisheries
infrastructure available in the
community, support sector business
operations in the community,
community participation in fisheries
management, effects of fisheries
management decisions on the
community, and demographic
information on commercial fisheries
participants from the community. The
information collected in this program
will capture the most relevant and
pressing types of data needed for
socioeconomic analyses of
communities.
II. Method of Collection
The method of data collection will be
a survey sent by mail (and by e-mail
where possible).

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 56–2010]
Foreign-Trade Zone 203—Moses Lake,
WA; Application for Reorganization
and Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Port of Moses Lake
Public Corporation, grantee of FTZ 203,
requesting authority to reorganize and
expand the zone under the alternative
site framework (ASF) adopted by the
Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/09; correction
74 FR 3987, 1/22/09). The ASF is an
option for grantees for the establishment
or reorganization of general-purpose
zones and can permit significantly
greater flexibility in the designation of
new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for

operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–
81u), and the regulations of the Board
(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed
on September 23, 2010.
FTZ 203 was approved by the Board
on October 18, 1994 (Board Order 702,
59 FR 54433, 10/31/94). The current
zone project includes the following site:
Site 1 (316 acres)—Port of Moses Lake
Industrial Park, located within the Grant
County International Airport complex,
Moses Lake, Washington.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would include all of
Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas,
Franklin, Grant, Kittitas, Lincoln and
Walla Walla Counties, as well as
portions of Okanogan and Yakima
Counties, Washington, as described in
the application. If approved, the grantee
would be able to serve sites throughout
the service area based on companies’
needs for FTZ designation. The
proposed service area is within and
adjacent to the Moses Lake Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include the existing site as a ‘‘magnet’’
site. The ASF allows for the possible
exemption of one magnet site from the
‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally apply
to sites under the ASF, and the
applicant proposes that Site 1 be so
exempted. The applicant is also
requesting approval of the following
initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ sites in Grant
County: Proposed Site 2 (38 acres)—Zip
Truck Line, Inc., 13957 Road 1.9 NE,
Moses Lake; and, Proposed Site 3 (60
acres)—SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers,
LLC, 8781 Randolph Road NE, Moses
Lake. Because the ASF only pertains to
establishing or reorganizing a generalpurpose zone, the application would
have no impact on FTZ 203’s authorized
subzone.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations to the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is November 29, 2010.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
