Download as PDF amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 19, 2018 / Notices IFF already has authority to produce flavor and fragrance products within Subzone 44B. The current request would add sixteen foreign status materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt IFF from customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted below, IFF would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to flavor and fragrance products (duty-free to 10%). IFF would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment. The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Glycerides mixed decanoyl and octanoyl; musk ketone supra; aldehyde C–16 strawberry; octinoxate; ivy carbaldehyde/methyl anthranilate Schiff’s base; hydroxycitronellal/methyl anthranilate Schiff’s base; herbal pyran; alpha-amyl cinnamylidene/methyl anthranilate Schiff’s base; leeral/methyl anthranilate Schiff’s base; coumarin; ethylene dodecanoate; aldehyde C–18; octahydrocoumarin; gamma decalactone; muskalactone; and, gamma-undecalactone (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 7.7%, or 8.8¢ per kg.). Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is October 29, 2018. A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

Needs and Uses: This request is for a new information collection. The Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (Plan), developed under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, seeks to enable the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to reduce injuries and deaths of large whales, especially right whales, due to incidental entanglement in United States commercial fishing gear. In order to develop fair and effective management measures, the Take Reduction Team (Team) requires comprehensive data on when, where, and how fixed gear vessels fish. While subsets of Plan’s vessels report on aspects of their operations, the available data form an incomplete picture. NMFS recognizes that forthcoming changes under select fishery management plans (e.g., the American Lobster Fishery Management Plan) may eventually introduce gear and activity reporting of the type requested. Until those requirements are implemented, however, operators of commercial fishing vessels deploying fixed gear (traps, pots, and gillnets) are requested to complete this annual supplemental data collection form, regardless of fishing location, permit type, or the provision of similar information to other Federal and state agencies. This information will allow NMFS to focus further risk reduction measures in certain areas or fisheries, where needed, to meet the goals of the Plan. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or households. Frequency: Annually. E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM 19SEN1
