Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products subject to this investigation
are bands made of vulcanized rubber, with a
flat length, as actually measured end-to-end
by the band lying flat, no less than 1⁄2 inch
and no greater than 10 inches; with a width,
which measures the dimension
perpendicular to the length, actually of at
least 3/64 inch and no greater than 2 inches;
and a wall thickness actually from 0.020 inch
to 0.125 inch. Vulcanized rubber has been
chemically processed into a more durable
material by the addition of sulfur or other
equivalent curatives or accelerators. Subject
products are included regardless of color or
inclusion of printed material on the rubber
band’s surface, including but not limited to,
rubber bands with printing on them, such as
a product name, advertising, or slogan, and
printed material (e.g., a tag) fastened to the
rubber band by an adhesive or another
temporary type of connection. The scope
includes vulcanized rubber bands which are
contained or otherwise exist in various forms
and packages, such as, without limitation,
vulcanized rubber bands included within a
desk accessory set or other type of set or
package, and vulcanized rubber band balls.
The scope excludes products that consist of
an elastomer loop and durable tag all-in-one,
and bands that are being used at the time of
import to fasten an imported product.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are vulcanized rubber bands of
various sizes with arrow shaped rubber
protrusions from the outer diameter that
exceeds at the anchor point a wall thickness
of 0.125 inches and where the protrusion is
used to loop around, secure and lock in
place.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are yarn/fabric-covered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Bering Sea and Aleutian Island
Crab Rationalization Program (CR
Program) is a limited access privilege
program managed under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2004 (Public Law 108–199, Sec. 801),
and the Fishery Management Plan for
Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and
Tanner Crab (FMP). The CR Program
allocates crab among harvesters,
processors, Western Alaska Community
Development Quota groups, and coastal
communities for nine crab fisheries. The
CR Program also includes a
comprehensive economic data
collection program requiring
participants to complete annual
Economic Data Reports (EDRs). These
EDRs are intended to aid the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
(Council) and NOAA’s National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) to assess the
performance of the CR Program and to
develop amendments to the FMP or
regulations to mitigate any unintended
consequences of the CR Program.
NMFS has designated Pacific States
Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC)
as the Data Collection Agent for the CR
Program. NMFS and PSMFC administer
the crab EDR program under the
guidance of the Council. The crab EDR
program collects annually reported cost,
revenue, ownership, and employment
data from harvest and processing sector
participants in the CR Program fisheries.
This information is necessary to monitor
and assess the economic effects of the
CR Program and support rigorous
economic analysis to promote the goals
and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act and the FMP.
Participation in the crab EDR program
is mandatory under Federal fisheries
regulations at 50 CFR 680.6 for all active
vessel and processing sector
participants in the CR Program fisheries.
This information collection contains
the three EDRs used by participants in
the CR Program: Catcher Vessel Crab
EDR, Catcher/Processor Crab EDR, and
Processor Crab EDR. An EDR is required
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

from any owner or leaseholder of a
vessel or processing plant, or a holder
of a registered crab receiver permit that
harvested, processed, custom processed,
or obtained custom processing for CR
crab in specified BSAI crab fisheries
during the prior calendar year. The
EDRs are submitted annually and are
due on or before July 31 of the following
year. The information collection also
includes information required to be
submitted for audits to verify data
submitted by respondents. Additional
information on the crab EDR program is
available on the PSFMC website at
https://www.psmfc.org/alaska_crab/.
II. Method of Collection
The EDRs may be submitted online,
by mail, or by fax. PSMFC mails EDR
announcements and filing instructions
to respondents by the end of May each
year. Respondents are encouraged to
complete the forms online on the
PSMFC website at https://
www.psmfc.org/alaska_crab/. EDR
forms also are available on the PSFMC
website as a fillable PDF; these may be
downloaded, printed, and mailed or
faxed to PSMFC.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0518.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
99.
Estimated Time per Response: 20
hours each for full Catcher Vessel Crab
EDR and full Catcher/Processor Crab
EDR; 16 hours for full Processor Crab
EDR; 2 hours each for certification-only
Catcher Vessel Crab EDR, certificationonly Catcher/Processor Crab EDR, and
certification-only Processor Crab EDR;
and 8 hours for Verification of Data.
These estimates are based on the most
recent supporting statement prepared
for this EDR information collection in
2018. This supporting statement is
available on NOAA’s Paperwork
Reduction Act web page at https://
www.cio.noaa.gov/itmanagement/pdfs/
0518Ext16.pdf.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,624 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $318,414 in recordkeeping and
reporting costs.

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