Abstract of Proposed Collection
The DS–2031 form is necessary to
document imports of shrimp and
products from shrimp pursuant to the
State Department’s implementation of
Section 609 of Public Law 101–162,
which prohibits the entry into the
United States of shrimp harvested in
ways which are harmful to sea turtles.
Respondents are exporters of shrimp
and products from shrimp and
government officials in countries that
export shrimp and products from
shrimp to the United States. The
importer is required to present the DS–
2031 form at the port of entry into the
United States, to retain the DS–2031
form for a period of three years
subsequent to entry, and during that
time to make the DS–2031 form
available to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection or the Department of State
upon request.
Methodology
The DS–2031 form is completed by
the exporter, the importer, and under
certain conditions a government official
of the harvesting country. The DS–2031
form accompanies shipments of shrimp
and shrimp product to the United States
and is to be made available to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection at the

Abstract of Proposed Collection
As a normal course of business and in
compliance with OMB Guidelines
contained in Circular A–110, recipient
organizations are required to provide,
and the U.S. State Department required
to collect, periodic program and
financial performance reports. The
responsibility of the State Department to
track and monitor the programmatic and
financial performance necessitates a
database that can help facilitate this in
a consistent and standardized manner.
The SAMS-D RPM enables enhanced
monitoring and evaluation of grants and
cooperative agreements through
standardized collection and storage of
relevant award elements, such as
quarterly progress reports, workplans,
results monitoring plans, grant
agreements, financial reports, and other
business information related to ECA
implementing partners. The SAMS-D
RPM streamlines communication with
implementers and allows for rapid
identification of information gaps for
specific projects.

and select ‘‘Litigation Alternatives’’
from the drop down menu).
Under 49 CFR 1108.6(b), the Board is
to update the roster of arbitrators
annually. Accordingly, the Board is now
requesting the names and qualifications
of new arbitrators who wish to be
placed on the roster. Current arbitrators
who wish to remain on the roster must
notify the Board of their continued
availability and confirm that the
biographical information on file with
the Board remains accurate and if not,
provide any necessary updates.
Arbitrators who do not confirm their
continued availability will be removed
from the roster. This decision will be
served on all current arbitrators.
Any person who wishes to be added
to the roster should file an application
describing his or her experience with
rail transportation and economic
regulation, as well as professional or
business experience, including
agriculture, in the private sector. Each
applicant should also describe his or her
training in dispute resolution and/or
experience in arbitration or other forms
of dispute resolution, including the
number of years of experience. Lastly,
the applicant should provide his or her
contact information and fees.

biographical sketch of each arbitrator,

arbitration experience, and geographical
location, as well as contact information
