Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 14, 2022 / Notices
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR
76 South Atlantic Black Sea Bass
Assessment Webinar 4 are as follows:
Discuss any remaining data issues,
model development, and model setup.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

These estimates are based on the
following information:
• Based on applications received
from FY 2013 to date, we estimate the
number of third party conformity
assessment bodies that would register
each year for the next 3 years would be
26.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to resubmit CPSC Form 223
every 2 years. As all third party
conformity assessment bodies have not
submitted their first CPSC Form 223s at
the same time, only about half would be
expected to resubmit a CPSC Form 223
in any 1 year. As of August 2022, 606
third party conformity assessment
bodies have registered with CPSC.
Therefore, approximately 303 of these
firms would be expected to reregister
with CPSC each year.
• Under 16 CFR part 1112, third party
conformity assessment bodies are
required to ensure that the information
submitted on CPSC Form 223 is current
and must submit a new CPSC Form 223
whenever the information changes.
Based on current experience with third
party conformity assessment bodies, we
estimate that each year 2 third party
conformity assessment bodies will make
revisions to update their information. A
change in information is a change that
does not require review of laboratory
accreditation documents, such as scope
or test methods. Examples of revised
information include changes in the
website URL, name of the laboratory,
and name of laboratory point of contact.
The total burden, therefore, is 329.5
hours, which we round up to 330 hours.
We estimate that hourly compensation
for the time required for recordkeeping
is $36.59 per hour (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation (ECEC),’’ Table
4: Total compensation for private
industry workers in sales and office
occupations within goods-producing
industries, June 2022, public news
release url: www.bls.gov/news.release/
archives/ecec_09202022.pdf). The total
cost burden to the respondents is
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
approximately $12,075 ($36.59 × 330
hours = $12,074.70).
General Description of Collection: The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party
testing to be conducted by a third party
conformity assessment body for any
children’s product that is subject to a
children’s product safety rule, before
importing for consumption or
warehousing or distributing in
commerce. The CPSIA allows
accreditation of third party conformity
assessment bodies to be conducted
either by the Commission, or by an
independent accreditation organization
designated by the Commission. In
addition, the CPSIA requires that the
Commission maintain on its website an
up-to-date list of entities that have been
accredited to assess conformity with
children’s product safety rules. With the
exception of firewalled third party
conformity assessment bodies, which
must be approved by Commission order,
as stated in 16 CFR 1112.13(b), the
Commission has chosen to accept the
accreditation of third party conformity
assessment bodies that meet
accreditation requirements of an
independent accreditation organization.
16 CFR 1112.13(a).
To assess a third party conformity
assessment body’s qualifications for
acceptance by CPSC, information
related to location, accreditation, and
ownership must be collected from third
party conformity assessment bodies.
The CPSC uses an online collection
form, CPSC Form 223, to gather
information from third party conformity
assessment bodies voluntarily seeking
acceptance by CPSC. The information
collected relates to location,
accreditation, and ownership.
Commission staff uses this information
to assess:
• A third party conformity
assessment body’s status as an
independent third party conformity
assessment body, a government-owned
or government-controlled conformity
assessment body, or a firewalled
conformity assessment body;
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Qualifications for acceptance by
CPSC to test for compliance to specified
children’s product safety rules; and
• Eligibility for acceptance on the
CPSC website.
Part 1112 requires the collection of
information in CPSC Form 223:
• Upon initial application by the
third party conformity assessment body
for acceptance by CPSC;
• Whenever there is a change to
accreditation or ownership information;
and
• At least every 2 years as part of a
regular audit process.

General Description of Collection: The Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) requires third party testing to be
conducted by a third party conformity assessment body for any
children's product that is subject to a children's product safety rule,
before importing for consumption or warehousing or distributing in
commerce. The CPSIA allows accreditation of third party conformity
assessment bodies to be conducted either by the Commission, or by an
independent accreditation organization designated by the Commission. In
addition, the CPSIA requires that the Commission maintain on its
website an up-to-date list of entities that have been accredited to
assess conformity with children's product safety rules. With the
exception of firewalled third party conformity assessment bodies, which
must be approved by Commission order, as stated in 16 CFR 1112.13(b),
the Commission has chosen to accept the accreditation of third party
conformity assessment bodies that meet accreditation requirements of an
independent accreditation organization. 16 CFR 1112.13(a).
To assess a third party conformity assessment body's qualifications
for acceptance by CPSC, information related to location, accreditation,
and ownership must be collected from third party conformity assessment
bodies. The CPSC uses an online collection form, CPSC Form 223, to
gather information from third party conformity assessment bodies
voluntarily seeking acceptance by CPSC. The information collected
relates to location, accreditation, and ownership. Commission staff
uses this information to assess:
A third party conformity assessment body's status as an
independent third party conformity assessment body, a government-owned
or government-controlled conformity assessment body, or a firewalled
conformity assessment body;
Qualifications for acceptance by CPSC to test for
compliance to specified children's product safety rules; and
Eligibility for acceptance on the CPSC website.
Part 1112 requires the collection of information in CPSC Form 223:
Upon initial application by the third party conformity
assessment body for acceptance by CPSC;
Whenever there is a change to accreditation or ownership
information; and
At least every 2 years as part of a regular audit process.
