If an administrative law judge (ALJ) makes a wholly favorable oral decision that includes all the findings and rationale for the decision for a claimant of title II benefits or title XVI payments at an administrative appeals hearing, the ALJ sends a Notice of Decision (Form HA– 82), as the records from the oral hearing preclude the need for a written decision.

[FR Doc. 2013–18005 Filed 7–25–13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4191–02–P DEPARTMENT OF STATE [Public Notice 8391] Certifications Pursuant to Section 609 of Public Law 101–162 On May 2, 2013, the Department of State certified, pursuant to Section 609 of Public Law 101–162, that 13 nations have adopted programs to reduce the incidental capture of sea turtles in their shrimp fisheries comparable to the program in effect in the United States. The Department also certified that the fishing environments in 26 other countries and one economy do not pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles protected under Section 609. DATES: Effective Date: On Publication. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marlene M. Menard, Office of Marine Conservation, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Department of State, Washington, DC 20520–7818; telephone: (202) 647–5827; email: menardmm@state.gov. SUMMARY: Section 609 of Public Law 101–162 (‘‘Section 609’’) prohibits imports of certain categories of shrimp unless the President certifies to the Congress by May 1, 1991, and annually thereafter, either: (1) That the harvesting nation or economy has adopted a program governing the incidental capture of sea turtles in its commercial shrimp fishery comparable to the program in effect in the United States and has an incidental take rate comparable to that of the United States; or (2) that the fishing environment in the harvesting nation or economy does not pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles. The President has delegated the authority to make this certification to the Department of State (‘‘the Department’’). Revised State Department guidelines for making the required certifications were tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:54 Jul 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 published in the Federal Register on July 2, 1999 (Vol. 64, No. 130, Public Notice 3086). On May 2, 2013, the Department certified 13 nations on the basis that their sea turtle protection programs are comparable to that of the United States: Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, and Suriname. The Department also certified 26 shrimp harvesting nations and one economy as having fishing environments that do not pose a danger to sea turtles. Sixteen nations have shrimping grounds only in cold waters where the risk of taking sea turtles is negligible. They are: Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay. Ten nations and one economy only harvest shrimp using small boats with crews of fewer than five that use manual rather than mechanical means to retrieve nets, or catch shrimp using other methods that do not threaten sea turtles. Use of such small-scale technology does not adversely affect sea turtles. The 10 nations and one economy are: the Bahamas, Belize, China, the Dominican Republic, Fiji, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Oman, Peru, Sri Lanka, and Venezuela. The Department of State has communicated the certifications under Section 609 to the Office of Field Operations of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. All DS–2031 forms accompanying shrimp imports from uncertified nations or economies must be originals and signed by the competent domestic fisheries authority. In order for shrimp harvested with turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in an uncertified nation or economy to be eligible for importation into the United States under the DS–2031 section 7(A)(2) provision for ‘‘shrimp harvested by commercial shrimp trawl vessels using TEDs comparable in effectiveness to those required in the United States’’, the Department of State must determine in advance that the government of the harvesting nation or economy has put in place adequate procedures to ensure the accurate completion of the DS–2031 PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 forms. At this time, the Department has made such a determination only with respect to Australia, Brazil and France. Thus, the importation of TED-caught shrimp from any other uncertified nation or economy will not be allowed. For Brazil, only shrimp harvested in the northern shrimp fishery are eligible for entry under this provision. For Australia, shrimp harvested in the Exmouth Gulf Prawn Fishery, the Northern Prawn Fishery, the Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery, and the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery are eligible for entry under this provision. For France, shrimp harvested in the French Guiana domestic trawl fishery are eligible for entry under this provision. An official of the competent domestic fisheries authority for the country or economywhere the shrimp were harvested must sign the DS–2031 form accompanying these imports into the United States. In addition, the Department has determined that shrimp harvested in the Spencer Gulf region in Australia may be exported to the United States under the DS–2031 section 7(A)(4) provision for ‘‘shrimp harvested in a manner or under circumstances determined by the Department of State not to pose a threat of the incidental taking of sea turtles.’’ An official of the Government of Australia must certify the DS–2031 form accompanying these imports into the United States. Dated: July 22, 2013. David A. Balton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and Fisheries, Department of State.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes one extension and two revisions of OMB-approved information
collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following
addresses or fax numbers.

1. Incorporation by Reference of Oral Findings of Fact and
Rationale in Wholly Favorable Written Decisions (Bench Decision
Regulation)--20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453--0960-0694. If an
administrative law judge (ALJ) makes a wholly favorable oral decision
that includes all the findings and rationale for the decision for a
claimant of title II benefits or title XVI payments at an
administrative appeals hearing, the ALJ sends a Notice of Decision
(Form HA-82), as the records from the oral hearing preclude the need
for a written decision. We call this the incorporation-by-reference
process. In addition, the regulations for this process state that if
the involved parties want a record of the oral decision, they may
submit a written request for these records. SSA collects

[[Page 45284]]

identifying information under the aegis of Sections 20 CFR 404.953 and
416.1453 of the Code of Federal Regulations to determine how to send
interested individuals written records of a favorable incorporation-by-
reference oral decision made at an administrative review hearing. Since
there is no prescribed form to request a written record of the
decision, the involved parties send SSA their contact information and
reference the hearing for which they would like a record. The
respondents are applicants for Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, or their representatives,
to whom SSA gave a wholly favorable oral decision under the regulations
cited above.

sends Form SSA-L707, Request for Proof(s) from Custodian of Records, to
records custodians on behalf of individuals who need help obtaining
evidence of death, marriage, or divorce in connection with claims for
benefits. SSA uses the information from the SSA-L707 to determine
eligibility for benefits. The respondents are records custodians
including statistics and religious entities, coroners, funeral
directors, attending physicians, and State agencies.

clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection would be
most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30 days from the date of this
