Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation
are forged steel fluid end blocks (fluid end
blocks), whether in finished or unfinished
form, and which are typically used in the
manufacture or service of hydraulic pumps.
The term ‘‘forged’’ is an industry term used
to describe the grain texture of steel resulting
from the application of localized compressive
force. Illustrative forging standards include,
but are not limited to, American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications
A668 and A788.
For purposes of this investigation, the term
‘‘steel’’ denotes metal containing the
following chemical elements, by weight: (i)
Iron greater than or equal to 60 percent; (ii)
nickel less than or equal to 8.5 percent; (iii)
copper less than or equal to 6 percent; (iv)
chromium greater than or equal to 0.4
percent, but less than or equal to 20 percent;
and (v) molybdenum greater than or equal to
0.15 percent, but less than or equal to 3
percent. Illustrative steel standards include,
but are not limited to, American Iron and
Steel Institute (AISI) or Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades 4130,
4135, 4140, 4320, 4330, 4340, 8630, 15–5,
17–4, F6NM, F22, F60, and XM25, as well as
modified varieties of these grades.
The products covered by this investigation
are: (1) Cut-to-length fluid end blocks with an
actual height (measured from its highest
point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches
(1,016.0 mm), an actual width (measured

from its widest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm)
to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), and an actual
length (measured from its longest point) of 11
inches (279.4 mm) to 75 inches (1,905.0 mm);
and (2) strings of fluid end blocks with an
actual height (measured from its highest
point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm) to 40 inches
(1,016.0 mm), an actual width (measured
from its widest point) of 8 inches (203.2 mm)
to 40 inches (1,016.0 mm), and an actual
length (measured from its longest point) up
to 360 inches (9,144.0 mm).
The products included in the scope of this
investigation have a tensile strength of at
least 70 KSI (measured in accordance with
ASTM A370) and a hardness of at least 140
HBW (measured in accordance with ASTM
E10).
A fluid end block may be imported in
finished condition (i.e., ready for
incorporation into a pump fluid end
assembly without further finishing
operations) or unfinished condition (i.e.,
forged but still requiring one or more
finishing operations before it is ready for
incorporation into a pump fluid end
assembly). Such finishing operations may
include: (1) Heat treating; (2) milling one or
more flat surfaces; (3) contour machining to
custom shapes or dimensions; (4) drilling or
boring holes; (5) threading holes; and/or (6)
painting, varnishing, or coating.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are fluid end block assemblies
which (1) include (a) plungers and related
housings, adapters, gaskets, seals, and
packing nuts, (b) valves and related seats,
springs, seals, and cover nuts, and (c) a
discharge flange and related seals, and (2) are
otherwise ready to be mated with the ‘‘power
end’’ of a hydraulic pump without the need
for installation of any plunger, valve, or
discharge flange components, or any other
further manufacturing operations.
The products included in the scope of this
investigation may enter under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 7218.91.0030, 7218.99.0030,
7224.90.0015, 7224.90.0045, 7326.19.0010,
7326.90.8688, or 8413.91.9055. While these
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
investigations is dispositive.

CFR part 600 require that: (1) Vessels
apply for fishing permits, (2) vessels and
certain gear be marked for identification
purposes, (3) observers be embarked on
selected vessels, and (4) permit holders
report their fishing effort and catch or,
when processing fish under joint
ventures, the amount and locations of
fish received from U.S. vessels. These
requirements apply to all foreign vessels
fishing, transshipping, or processing
fish in U.S. waters.
Information is collected from persons
who operate a foreign fishing vessel in
U.S. waters to participate in a directed
fishery or joint venture operation,
transship fish harvested by a U.S. vessel
to a location outside the U.S., or process
fish in internal waters. Each person
operating a foreign fishing vessel under
MSA authority may be required to
submit information for a permit, mark
their vessels and gear, or submit
information about their fishing
activities. To facilitate observer
coverage, foreign fishing vessel
operators must provide a quarterly
schedule of fishing effort and upon
request must also provide observers
with copies of any required records. For
foreign fishing vessels that process fish
in internal waters, the information
collected varies somewhat from other
foreign fishing vessels that participate in
a directed fishery or a joint venture
operation. In particular, these vessels
may not be required to provide a permit
application or mark their vessels. The
information submitted in applications is
used to determine whether permits
should be used to authorize directed
foreign fishing, participation in joint
ventures with U.S. vessels, or
transshipments of fish or fish products
within U.S. waters. The display of
identifying numbers on vessels and gear
aids in fishery law enforcement and
allow other fishermen to report
suspicious activity. Reporting of fishing
activities allows monitoring of fish
received by foreign vessels.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, weekly and on
occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for renewal of a
current information collection. Under
the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is responsible for management
of the nation’s marine fisheries. In
addition, NMFS must comply with the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975
(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.), under which the
agency implements recommendations
by the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
as necessary and appropriate.
NMFS collects information via vessel
logbooks to monitor the U.S. catch of
Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and
tunas in relation to the quotas, thereby
ensuring that the United States complies
with its domestic and international
obligations. The Highly Migratory
Species (HMS) logbook program, OMB
Control No. 0648–0371, was specifically
designed to collect the vessel-level
information needed for the management
of Atlantic HMS, and includes set
forms, trip forms, negative reports, and
cost-earning requirements for both
commercial and recreational vessels.
The information supplied through the
HMS logbook program provides the
catch and effort data on a per-set or pertrip level of resolution for both directed
and incidental species. In addition to
HMS fisheries, the HMS logbook
program is also used to report catches of
dolphin and wahoo in commercial
dolphin wahoo permit holders that do
not hold any other Federal permits.
Additionally, the HMS logbook collects
data on incidental species, such as sea
turtles, which is necessary to evaluate
the fisheries in terms of bycatch and
encounters with protected species.
While most HMS fishermen use the
HMS logbook program, HMS can also be
reported as part of several other logbook
collections including the Northeast
Region Fishing Vessel Trip Reports
(0648–0212) and Southeast Region
Coastal Logbook (0648–0016).
These data are necessary to assess the
status of HMS, dolphin, and wahoo in
each fishery. International stock
assessments for tunas, swordfish,
billfish, and some species of sharks are
conducted through ICCAT’s Standing
Committee on Research and Statistics
periodically and provide, in part, the
basis for ICCAT management
recommendations, which become
binding on member nations. Domestic
stock assessments for most species of
sharks and for dolphin and wahoo are
