SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Biochemical Science Division announces its intent to identify by short tandem repeat (STR) profiling up to 1500 human cell line samples as part of the Identification of Human Cell Lines Project. All data and corresponding information will be posted in a publically held database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and will be used to differentiate among cell lines, as described in Designation: ASN–0002 Authentication of Human Cell Lines: Standardization of STR Profiling by the ATCC Standards Development Organization Workgroup. Human cell line samples are cells taken from a human being that can be grown in the laboratory and are considered immortal (alive and reproduce forever in a petri plate, given appropriate conditions). They can be used for scientific experiments, as examples of the tissue they’re from. Once cells from a tissue have been grown in the lab they are called a cell line. There is a tremendous need for investigators to know with confidence that the cells they are using are of the desired species of origin. This interactive database will be used by the research and development community to validate cell lines of interest. It will offer DNA profiles of commonly used standard cell lines, as donated by interested parties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract Regulations at 50 CFR 665.16 require that all United States (U.S.) vessels with Federal permits fishing for Western Pacific fishery management unit species display identification markings on the vessel and gear, as specified in 50 CFR 665 and 50 CFR 300. Vessels registered for use with a permit issued under Subparts B through E of 50 CFR 665, must display the vessel’s official number on both sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on an appropriate weather deck. Vessels fishing in the Western and Central Pacific Convention (WCPFC) Area with a WCPFC Area Endorsement, or required to have a WCPFC Area Endorsement, must comply with the regulations at 50 CFR 300.14 and 50 CFR 300.217. These regulations require that vessels must display their international radio call sign on both sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on an appropriate weather deck, unless specifically exempted. Regulations at 50 CFR 300.35 require that vessels fishing under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty must display their international radio PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 call sign on the hull, the deck, and on the sides of auxiliary equipment such as skiffs and helicopters. The numbers must be a specific size at specified locations. The display of the identifying numbers aids in fishery law enforcement. Western Pacific fisheries regulations at 50 CFR 665.128, 665.228, 665.428, 665.628, and 665.804 require that certain fishing gear must be marked. In the pelagic longline fisheries, the vessel operator must ensure that the official number of the vessel is affixed to every longline buoy and float. In the coral reef ecosystem fisheries, the vessel number must be affixed to all fish and crab traps. The marking of gear links fishing or other activity to the vessel, aids law enforcement, and is valuable in actions concerning the damage, loss of gear, and civil proceedings. II. Method of Collection Third party disclosure. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0360. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 311. Estimated Time per Response: 45 minutes per western Pacific fishing vessel; one hour and 15 minutes per South Pacific purse seine vessel; 2 minutes per gear marking. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,148. Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $35,000. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

I. Abstract

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
Biochemical Science Division announces its intent to identify by short 
tandem repeat (STR) profiling up to 1500 human cell line samples as 
part of the Identification of Human Cell Lines Project. All data and 
corresponding information will be posted in a publically held database
