Fishing in the NAFO Regulatory Area
U.S. applicant vessels must be in
possession of, or obtain, a valid HSFCA
permit, which is available from the
NMFS Greater Atlantic Regional
Fisheries Office. All permitted vessels
must comply with any conditions of this
permit and all applicable provisions of
the Convention on Future Multilateral
Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic
Fisheries and the CEM. We reserve the
right to impose additional permit
conditions that ensure compliance with
the NAFO Convention and the CEM, the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
any other applicable law.
The CEM provisions include, but are
not limited to:
• Maintaining a fishing logbook with
NAFO-designated entries (Annex II.A
and Article 28);
• Adhering to NAFO hail system
requirements (Annexes II.D and II.F;
Article 28; Article 30 part B);
• Carrying an approved onboard

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This notice informs the public that
the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS) is requesting approval
for renewal of a currently approved
information collection described in
Section II for use in connection with the
final rule for the ‘‘Certification Program
for Access to the Death Master File.’’
The final rule was published on June 1,
2016 (81 FR 34882), and the rule
became effective on November 28, 2016.
II. Method of Collection
Title of Information Collection:
(A) ‘‘Limited Access Death Master File
(LADMF) Accredited Conformity
Assessment Body Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form’’ (ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form)
(B) ‘‘Limited Access Death Master File
(LADMF) State or Local Government
Auditor General (AG) or Inspector
General (IG) Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form’’ (AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form)
Description of the Need for the
Information and the Proposed Use:
NTIS issued a final rule establishing a
program through which persons may
become eligible to obtain access to
Death Master File (DMF) information
about an individual within three years
of that individual’s death. The final rule
was promulgated under Section 203 of
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013,
Public Law 113–67 (Act). The Act
prohibits the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) from disclosing DMF
information during the three-year period
following an individual’s death (Limited
Access DMF), unless the person
requesting the information has been
certified to access the Limited Access
DMF pursuant to certain criteria in a
program that the Secretary establishes.
The Secretary delegated the authority to
carry out Section 203 to the Director of
NTIS.
On December 30, 2014, NTIS initially
described a ‘‘Limited Access Death
Master File Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form’’ in the notice of
proposed rulemaking (79 FR 78314 at
78321). To accommodate the
requirements of the final rule, NTIS is
using both the ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form and the AG

or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form.
The ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form requires an
‘‘Accredited Conformity Assessment
Body’’ (ACAB), as defined in the final
rule, to attest that a Person seeking
certification or a Certified Person
seeking renewal of certification has
information security systems, facilities
and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of
the final rule. The ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by
the ACAB conducted within three years
prior to the date of the Person or
Certified Person’s submission of a
completed certification statement under
Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule.
This collection includes specific
requirements of the final rule, which the
ACAB must certify are satisfied, and the
provision of specific information by the
ACAB, such as the date of the
assessment and the auditing standard(s)
used for the assessment.
Section 1110.501(a)(2) of the final rule
provides that a state or local government
office of AG or IG and a Person or
Certified Person that is a department or
agency of the same state or local
government, respectively, are not
considered to be owned by a common
‘‘parent’’ entity under Section
1110.501(a)(1)(ii) for the purpose of
determining independence, and
attestation by the AG or IG is possible.
The AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form is for the use of a state
or local government AG or IG to attest
on behalf of a state or local government
department or agency Person or
Certified Person. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form requires
the state or local government AG or IG
to attest that a Person seeking
certification or a Certified Person
seeking renewal of certification has
information security systems, facilities
and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of
the final rule. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by
the state or local government AG or IG
conducted within three years prior to
the date of the Person or Certified
Person’s submission of a completed
certification statement under Section
1110.101(a) of the final rule. This
collection includes specific
requirements of the final rule, which the
state or local government AG or IG must
certify are satisfied, and the provision of
specific information by the state or local

Systems Safeguards Attestation
Forms, which consists of the expenses
associated with NTIS personnel
reviewing and processing these forms.
NTIS estimates that it will take an AG
or IG senior auditor three hours to
complete the form at a rate of
approximately $100 per hour, for a
total additional cost to the public of
$18,000 (180 burden hours × $100/
hour = $18,000). NTIS estimates the
total annual cost to the public for AG
or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation
Forms to be $49,500 ($31,500 in fees
+ $18,000 in staff time = $49,500).
NTIS estimates the total annual cost to
the public for both the ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Forms and the
AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Forms to be $514,500
($465,000 for ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Forms + $49,500 for AG or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This notice informs the public that the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS) is requesting approval for renewal of a
currently approved information collection described in Section II for
use in connection with the final rule for the ``Certification Program
for Access to the Death Master File.'' The final rule was published on
June 1, 2016 (81 FR 34882), and the rule became effective on November
28, 2016.
II. Method of Collection
Title of Information Collection:
(A) ``Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) Accredited Conformity
Assessment Body Systems Safeguards Attestation Form'' (ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form)
(B) ``Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) State or Local
Government Auditor General (AG) or Inspector General (IG) Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form'' (AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form)
Description of the Need for the Information and the Proposed Use:
NTIS issued a final rule establishing a program through which persons
may become eligible to obtain access to Death Master File (DMF)
information about an individual within three years of that individual's
death. The final rule was promulgated under Section 203 of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public Law 113-67 (Act). The Act
prohibits the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) from disclosing DMF
information during the three-year period following an individual's
death (Limited Access DMF), unless the person requesting the
information has been certified to access the Limited Access DMF
pursuant to certain criteria in a program that the Secretary
establishes. The Secretary delegated the authority to carry out Section
203 to the Director of NTIS.
On December 30, 2014, NTIS initially described a ``Limited Access
Death Master File Systems Safeguards Attestation Form'' in the notice
of proposed rulemaking (79 FR 78314 at 78321). To accommodate the
requirements of the final rule, NTIS is using both the ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form and the AG
[[Page 9992]]
or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form.
The ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation Form requires an
``Accredited Conformity Assessment Body'' (ACAB), as defined in the
final rule, to attest that a Person seeking certification or a
Certified Person seeking renewal of certification has information
security systems, facilities and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as required under Section
1110.102(a)(2) of the final rule. The ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form collects information based on an assessment by the
ACAB conducted within three years prior to the date of the Person or
Certified Person's submission of a completed certification statement
under Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule. This collection includes
specific requirements of the final rule, which the ACAB must certify
are satisfied, and the provision of specific information by the ACAB,
such as the date of the assessment and the auditing standard(s) used
for the assessment.
Section 1110.501(a)(2) of the final rule provides that a state or
local government office of AG or IG and a Person or Certified Person
that is a department or agency of the same state or local government,
respectively, are not considered to be owned by a common ``parent''
entity under Section 1110.501(a)(1)(ii) for the purpose of determining
independence, and attestation by the AG or IG is possible. The AG or IG
Systems Safeguards Attestation Form is for the use of a state or local
government AG or IG to attest on behalf of a state or local government
department or agency Person or Certified Person. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form requires the state or local government AG
or IG to attest that a Person seeking certification or a Certified
Person seeking renewal of certification has information security
systems, facilities and procedures in place to protect the security of
the Limited Access DMF, as required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of the
final rule. The AG or IG Systems Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by the state or local government AG
or IG conducted within three years prior to the date of the Person or
Certified Person's submission of a completed certification statement
under Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule. This collection includes
specific requirements of the final rule, which the state or local
government AG or IG must certify are satisfied, and the provision of
specific information by the state or local government AG or IG, such as
the date of the assessment.
