permanently extends the direct payment
provision of Section 303 of the Social
Security Protection Act (SSPA) of 2004,
Public Law 108–203. The PRA permits
SSA to extend direct payment of
approved fees from claimants’ past-due
benefits to certain non-attorney
representatives. Prior to the enactment
of the SSPA and PRA, only attorneys
could receive direct payment of SSAapproved fees. Under the PRA, nonattorneys must meet certain
prerequisites to be eligible for direct
payment of fees. These prerequisites
include: (1) A bachelor’s degree from an
accredited institution of higher
education, or four years of relevant
professional experience and a high
school diploma or General Education
Development certificate; (2) passing a
written examination administered by
SSA testing the knowledge of relevant
provisions of the Act under Titles II and
XVI; (3) securing and maintaining
continuous professional liability
insurance, or equivalent, to protect
claimants from malpractice; (4) passing
a criminal background check; (5)
demonstrating ongoing completion of
continuing education courses. The PRA

estimate of the time and cost burden for
this proposed collection, including the
validity of the methodology and

including your personal information,
will be available for public review.
Abstract of Proposed Collection
The purpose of the DS–5528 is to
document the evacuation of persons
from abroad when their lives are
endangered by war, civil unrest, or
natural disaster; document issuance of a
crisis evacuation loan; obtain a Privacy
Act Waiver to share information about
the welfare of a U.S. citizen or U.S.
lawful permanent resident consistent
with the Privacy Act of 1974; and, to
facilitate debt collection.
Methodology
An electronic version of the Evacuee
Manifest and Promissory Note was
created, allowing applicants to type
their information into the form, print it,
and present it to a consular officer at the
evacuation point. Continued software
development will provide the capability
to electronically submit signed loan
applications for adjudication. The final
stage of software development will not
only allow the applicant to enter his/her
information and submit the form, but
will also make the information available
for all stages of financial processing
including the Department of State’s debt
collection process. Due to the potential
for serious conditions during crisis
events that often affect electronic and
internet infrastructure systems, the
electronic form will not replace the
paper form. Rather, the paper form will
still be maintained and used in the
event that applicants are unable to
submit forms electronically.

Annual Certification of ShrimpHarvesting Nations
Bureau of Oceans and
International Environmental and
Scientific Affairs, Department of State.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On May 1, 2017, the
Department of State certified that 13
shrimp-harvesting nations and four
fisheries have a regulatory program
comparable to that of the United States
governing the incidental taking of the
relevant species of sea turtles in the
course of commercial shrimp harvesting
and that the particular fishing

environments of 26 shrimp-harvesting
nations, one economy, and three
fisheries do not pose a threat of the
incidental taking of covered sea turtles
in the course of such harvesting.
DATES: This finding is effective on May
5, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marine Conservation, Bureau of Oceans
and International Environmental and
Scientific Affairs, Department of State,

email: DS2031@state.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
609 of Public Law 101–162 (‘‘Sec. 609’’)
prohibits imports of certain categories of
shrimp unless the President certifies to
the Congress by May 1, 1991, and
annually thereafter, that either: (1) The
harvesting nation has adopted a
program governing the incidental taking
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) the particular
fishing environment of the harvesting
nation 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’’).
The Department’s Revised Guidelines
for the Implementation of Section 609
were published in the Federal Register
on July 8, 1999, at 64 FR 36946.
On May 1, 2017, 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, Gabon, Guatemala, Guyana,
Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria,
Panama, and Suriname. This year the
Department was unable to certify
Pakistan because it did not demonstrate
that the sea turtle protection program is
comparable in effectiveness to that of
the United States. Therefore, no wildcaught shrimp or product of that shrimp
harvested in Pakistan and exported after
April 30, 2017, will be permitted entry
into the United States. 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: 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
