Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices
GMA—Grain Moisture Meters
Item GMA–2 Table S.2.5. Categories of
Devices and Methods of Sealing
The S&T Committee will consider a
proposal that would require (on or after
the effective date—TBD) grain moisture
meters approved under the National
Type Evaluation Program to comply
with ‘‘Category 3’’ sealing methods. This
electronic type of sealing would require
an event logger and the ability to
generate a printed copy of audit trail
information that is available through the
device or through another on-site
device.
Item GMA–3 Table T.2.1. Acceptance
and Maintenance Tolerances Air Oven
Method for All Grains and Oil Seeds
The S&T Committee will consider a
proposal that would reduce the
tolerances applied to official grain
samples used as reference standards
established when using the Air Oven
Reference Method.
MDM—Multiple Dimension Measuring
Devices
Item MDM–2 S.1.7. Minimum
Measurement
The S&T Committee will consider a
proposal that would amend requirement
S.1.7. Minimum Measurement to also
provide an exemption from that
requirement for ‘‘mobile tape-based’’
MDMD devices. This proposal would
allow measurements of less than 12
divisions made using mobile tape-based
devices to be used in the calculation of
charges for shipping of parcels.
NCWM L&R Committee
The following items are proposals to
amend NIST Handbook 130 or NIST
Handbook 133:
NIST Handbook 130, Section on
Uniform Method of Sale (MOS) of
Commodities

Item MOS–7 Section 2.4. Firewood
and Stove Wood
The L&R Committee will address the
request to extend the effective date of
Section 2.4.3.(a) Packaged natural wood
sold in packaged form in quantities less
than 0.45 m3 (1⁄8 cord or 16 ft3). This
could change the effective date of
enforcement from 2019 until 2021.
NIST Handbook 130—Section on
Uniform Open Dating Regulation (ODR)
Item ODR 1 and ODR NEW Section on
Uniform Open Dating Regulation
The L&R Committee will consider a
proposal under Item ODR 1 to make
changes to the language within the
Open Dating Regulation. The Open

Dating regulation provides requirements
for standardized date formats found on
perishable or semi perishable packaged
foods. The proposed revisions replace
‘‘Sell By’’ with ‘‘Use By’’ which
provides consumers with clearer
guidance to avoid spoilage or loss of
value for perishable or semi perishable
foods.
Under Item ODR NEW, the L&R
Committee will consider a
recommended proposal to remove the
Open Dating Regulation in its entirety
from NIST Handbook 130.

The following items are proposals to
amend NIST Handbooks 130 and 133:

133, ‘‘Checking the Net Contents of
Packaged Goods,’’ and NIST Handbook
130, Section on Uniform Packaging and
Labeling Regulation (PLR), 2.8.
Multiunit Package
The L&R Committee will consider a
proposal for to add a test procedure in
NIST Handbook 133 for addressing the
total quantity declaration on multiunit
or variety packages. In addition, in NIST
Handbook 130, it will clarify the
definition of Section 2.8. multiunit
package.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Adam Rettig, (301) 427–
8216, or Adam.Rettig@NOAA.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This request is for new information
collection. The title will be ‘‘Marine
Recreational Information Program Social
Network Analysis In-Person Survey’’.
In its 2017 review of NOAA Fisheries’
Marine Recreational Information
Program (MRIP), the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine recommended the
program enhance its communications
and outreach activities, particularly
among the recreational fishing
community. To address this
recommendation, MRIP will administer
two voluntary surveys; (1) the MRIP
Social Network Survey (a mail survey,
see 60d FRN published February 2, 1918
(83 FR 4909)) and (2) the MRIP Social
Network Analysis In-Person Survey.
This data collection will help identify
relationships, networks, and channels
through which information flows among
the recreational fishing community.
This survey will help MRIP more
effectively engage with its audiences by
identifying key influencers and
information pathways, and the areas of
greatest need and opportunity for
relationship-building.
The MRIP Social Network Analysis
In-Person Survey will interview
saltwater anglers in three communities
that are particularly representative as
revealed by the MRIP Social Network
Survey (mail survey). The identification
of these communities can be based on
the distribution of licensed anglers,
level of angler fishing avidity, level of
awareness of state and Federal
recreational fisheries management
activities, or other parameters measured
in the MRIP Social Network Survey
(mail survey) or other NOAA Fisheries
surveys. In each fishing community to
be evaluated, between ten and fifteen
initial respondents shall be interviewed
for the survey. The initial respondents
will not be selected from the sample of
individuals used in the mail survey.
Rather, active recreational anglers will
be asked to participate in the survey
during visits to relevant businesses and
E:\FR\FM\21DEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices
entities (marinas, bait and tackle shops,
fishing clubs, state natural resource
agencies, etc.,) within the community.
The interviews will gather qualitative
information on each respondent’s
information sharing network, including
how information sources are connected.
Respondents will be asked to provide
names of additional contacts from their
network that could provide meaningful
information for the study. These named
contacts will then be contacted and
interviewed in the same manner as the
initial respondents. The in-person
survey will conclude once interviews
have been completed for 60 respondents
within each community.
Questions will explore demographics,
fishing practices, specific names of
individuals, key locations, media
sources, and websites that anglers rely
on for communication about fisheries
data collection and management issues.
The characteristics about the sources
that make respondents perceive them as
reliable or trustworthy sources will be
determined by exploring attitudes
toward Federal and state fishery
management agencies (e.g., why
agencies are/are not perceived as
trustworthy; how agencies can improve
communication, etc.). Questions will
also explore the personal level of
engagement in the fisheries data
collection and management process as
well as the level of engagement of
information sharing partners. These data
will be used to identify key information
sources for recreational anglers, evaluate
regional differences in information
sources, and evaluate recreational angler
confidence in management and data
collection efforts. The information
obtained will allow MRIP to more
effectively communicate with
recreational anglers on data collection
issues by focusing communications
efforts on important network channels.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected via inperson surveys.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

Domestic
and international stakeholders share
interest in developing management
objectives and a long-term management
framework for Pacific bluefin tuna. In
September 2018, the Pacific Fishery
Management Council (PFMC)
recommended that its Highly Migratory
Species Management Team develop a
long-term management strategy for
Pacific bluefin tuna (See the PFMC’s
‘‘September 2018 Summary Decision’’ at
https://www.pcouncil.org/wp-content/
uploads/2018/09/0918_Decision_
Summary_DocumentV2.pdf).
Additionally, the International
Scientific Committee on Tuna and
Tuna-like Species in the North Pacific
Ocean (ISC) is considering whether to
proceed with a management strategy
evaluation (MSE) for Pacific bluefin
tuna. The development of a domestic
management strategy and objectives
could apply to the ISC’s MSE. During
this stakeholder meeting, NMFS will
briefly review the current status of the
stock and current management regime,
and then intends to solicit input from
participants on potential management
objectives and strategies to achieve
those objectives for the Pacific bluefin
tuna fishery.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pacific Bluefin Tuna U.S. Stakeholder
Meeting Topics
The Pacific bluefin tuna U.S.
stakeholder meeting topics will include,
but are not limited to, the following:
(1) An overview of international
