ensure that the MBSD Rules remain
clear by replacing the current language
with language that sets out in words the
calculation of the VaR Floor amount. By
doing so, Clearing Members can better
understand how the VaR Floor is
calculated and understand whether they
would be subject to it. FICC believes
that the technical changes would not
affect Clearing Members’ rights and
obligations. As such, FICC believes that
these proposed rule changes would not
have any impact on competition.
FICC does not believe that the
proposed technical changes described in
Item II(A)1(iv) to the QRM Methodology
to reflect at least annual model
validation of the VaR Floor percentage
would have any impact on competition.
This change would reflect current
practice and would not alter Clearing
Members’ rights or obligations.
Therefore, FICC does not believe that
these proposed changes to clarify the
language in the QRM Methodology
would have any impact on competition.
(C) Clearing Agency’s Statement on
Comments on the Proposed Rule
Change Received From Members,
Participants, or Others
Written comments relating to the
proposed rule changes have not been
solicited or received. FICC will notify
the Commission of any written
comments received by FICC.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change, and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period
up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which
the self-regulatory organization
consents, the Commission will:
(A) by order approve or disapprove
such proposed rule change, or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.

United States: Argentina, Australia
(Northern Prawn Fishery, the
Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery,
the Spencer Gulf, and the Torres Strait
Prawn Fishery), the Bahamas, Belgium,
Belize, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia,
Costa Rica, Denmark, the Dominican

or products from shrimp harvested with
commercial fishing technology unless
the President certifies to the Congress by
May 1, 1991, and annually thereafter,
that either: (1) The harvesting nation has
adopted a regulatory program governing
the incidental taking of relevant species
of sea turtles in the course of
commercial shrimp harvesting that is
comparable to that of the United States
and that the average rate of that
incidental taking by the vessels of the
harvesting nation is comparable to the
average rate of incidental taking of sea
turtles by United States vessels in the
course of such harvesting; or (2) the
particular fishing environment of the
harvesting nation does not pose a threat
of the incidental taking of sea turtles in
the course of shrimp harvesting. The
President has delegated the authority to
make this certification to the Secretary
of State (‘‘Secretary’’) who further
delegated the authority to the Under
Secretary of State for Economic Growth,
Energy, and the Environment (‘‘Under
Secretary’’). The Department of State’s
Revised Guidelines for the
Implementation of Section 609 were
published in the Federal Register on
July 8, 1999, at 64 FR 36946.
On April 23, 2019, the acting Under
Secretary 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. The acting Under Secretary
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 Hong
Kong only harvest shrimp using small
boats with crews of less than five that
use manual rather than mechanical
means to retrieve nets or catch shrimp
using other methods that do not
threaten sea turtles. Use of such smallscale technology does not adversely
affect sea turtles. The 10 nations are the
Bahamas, Belize, China, the Dominican
Republic, Fiji, Jamaica, Oman, Peru, Sri
Lanka, and Venezuela.
A completed DS–2031 Shrimp
Exporter’s/Importer’s Declaration (‘‘DS–
2031’’) must accompany all imports of
shrimp and products from shrimp into
the United States. Importers of shrimp
and products from shrimp harvested in

the 39 certified nations and one
economy listed above must either
provide the DS–2031 form to Customs
and Border Protection at the port of
entry or provide the information
required by the DS–2031 through the
Automated Commercial Environment.
DS–2031 forms accompanying all
imports of shrimp and products from
shrimp harvested in uncertified nations
and economies must be originals with
Box 7(A)(1), 7(A)(2), or 7(A)(4) checked,
consistent with the form’s instructions
with regard to the method of harvest of
the shrimp and based on any relevant
prior determinations by the acting
Under Secretary, and signed by a
responsible government official of the
harvesting nation. The acting Under
Secretary did not determine that shrimp
or products from shrimp harvested in a
manner as described in 7(A)(3) in any
uncertified nation or economy is eligible
to enter the United States.
Shrimp and products of shrimp
harvested with turtle excluder devices
(‘‘TEDs’’) in an uncertified nation may,
under specific circumstances, be eligible
for importation into the United States
under the DS–2031 Box 7(A)(2)
provision for ‘‘shrimp harvested by
commercial shrimp trawl vessels using
TEDs comparable in effectiveness to
those required in the United States.’’
Use of this provision requires that the
Secretary or his or her delegate
determine in advance that the
government of the harvesting nation has
put in place adequate procedures to
monitor the use of TEDs in the specific
fishery in question and to ensure the
accurate completion of the DS–2031
forms. At this time, the acting Under
Secretary has determined that only
shrimp and products from shrimp
harvested in the Northern Prawn
Fishery, the Queensland East Coast
Trawl Fishery, and the Torres Strait
Prawn Fishery in Australia, in the
French Guiana domestic trawl fishery,
and in the East Coast fishery of
peninsular Malaysia are eligible for
entry under this provision. The
importation of TED-caught shrimp from
any other uncertified nation will not be
allowed. A responsible government
official of Australia, France, or Malaysia
must sign in Block 8 of the DS–2031
form accompanying these imports into
the United States.
In addition, the acting Under
Secretary has determined that shrimp
and products from shrimp harvested in
the Spencer Gulf region in Australia,
with shrimp baskets in Hokkaido, Japan,
with ‘‘mosquito’’ nets in the Republic of
Korea, and Mediterranean red shrimp
(Aristeus antennatus) and products from
that shrimp harvested in the
