L. 89–651, asamended by Pub. L. 106– 36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), we invite comments on the question of whether instruments of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which the instruments shown below are intended to be used, are being manufactured in the United States. Comments must comply with 15 CFR 301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the regulations and be postmarked on or before February 8, 2024. Address written comments to Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room 41006, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. Please also email a copy of those comments to Dianne.Hanshaw@trade.gov. Docket Number: 23–017. Applicant: For the Regents of the University of Idaho, 875 Perimeter Drive, MS 2006, VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:10 Jan 18, 2024 Jkt 262001 Moscow, ID 83844–2006. Instrument: EcoUnit(s). Manufacturer: Regineering GmbH, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to study the 24 EcoUnits composing the Deep Soil Ecotron (https://deepsoilecotron.org/) will be used specifically to study deep soils (i.e., soils greater than 30 cm in depth), as well as the associated surface soils (i.e., soils 0–30 cm in depth) and the above ground plant community. The techniques employed will include experimental design that enables researchers through the use of these EcoUnits to precisely manipulate and control a suite of environmental variables controlled by EcoUnits. Additionally, researchers will employ state of the art sensors to monitor soil temperature, moisture, and gas fluxes, as well as plant root growth an morphology, and soil microbial communities via next-generation sequencing. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: October 20, 2023. Docket Number: 23–018. Applicant: University of Chicago, 5640 S Ellis Avenue, ERC LL248, Chicago, IL 60637. Instrument: Fiber Laser Amplifier. Manufacturer: PercilLasers, China.Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used for the laser amplifier in question which will allow us to improve both the quality of Rydberg excitation and the number of atoms which can be simultaneously excited, which in turn will extend the complexity of quantum circuits which can be implemented in this experiment. Large quantum circuits are of fundamental interest in understanding the information complexity of quantum systems and may also enable the study of complex many-body phenomena such as quantum magnetism. Justification for Duty-Free Entry: According to the applicant, there are no instruments of the same general category manufactured in the United States. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs: September 7, 2023.

Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on August 22, 2023 (88 FR 57103) during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Commerce. Title: Southeast Region Permit Family of Forms. OMB Control Number: 0648–0205. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission [revision and extension of a current information collection]. Number of Respondents: 9,883. Average Hours per Response: • Vessel EEZ Permit Application, including Golden Tilefish Endorsement and Smoothhound Shark Permit, 50 minutes; • Wreckfish Permit Application, 55 minutes; • Dealer Permit Application, 30 minutes; • Aquacultured Live Rock Permitting and Reporting—New Permit—Deposit or Harvest Report, 15 minutes; Notice of Intent to Harvest, 10 minutes; Federal Permit Application, including Site Evaluation Report, 70 minutes; VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:42 Jan 18, 2024 Jkt 262001 • Aquacultured Live Rock Permitting and Reporting—Renew Permit—Deposit or Harvest Report, 15 minutes; Notice of Intent to Harvest, 10 minutes; Federal Permit Application, 50 minutes. • Vessel Operator Card Application for Dolphin and Wahoo, or Rock Shrimp, 30 minutes; • Fishing in Colombian Treaty Waters Vessel Permit Application, 50 minutes; • Permit Holder Change of Information, 5 minutes; • Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Permit Consolidation, 5 minutes; • Duplicate Permit, Card, or Decal, 5 minutes; • Notifications of Lost or Stolen Traps or Authorization for Retrieval (golden crab, reef fish, snapper-grouper, spiny lobster), 10 minutes; • Golden Crab Permittee Zone Transit Notification, 10 minutes; • Annual Landings Report for Gulf of Mexico Shrimp, 20 minutes; • Vessel Permit Transfers and Notarizations, 10 minutes; and • International Maritime Organization (IMO) Number Registration, 30 minutes. Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,033. Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southeast Regional Office (SERO), Permits Office administers Federal fishing permits in the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), and South Atlantic under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801. The SERO Permits Office proposes to extend and to revise parts of the current collections-of-information approved under OMB Control Number 0648–0205. The NMFS Southeast Region manages the U.S. Federal fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic under the fishery management plans (FMPs) for each region. The regional fishery management councils prepared the FMPs pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Act. The regulations implementing the FMPs, including those that have recordkeeping and reporting requirements, are located at 50 CFR part 622. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 50 CFR part 622 form the basis for this collection of information. The NMFS Southeast Region requests information from fishery participants. This information, upon receipt, results in an increasingly more efficient and accurate database for management and monitoring of the Federal fisheries in the Caribbean, Gulf, and South Atlantic. The SERO Permits Office proposes to extend and to revise the collection-of- PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3637 information approved under OMB Control Number 0648–0205. NMFS proposes to revise the Federal permit applications for Vessels Fishing in the EEZ (Vessel EEZ), Change of Information Form, Vessel Fishing in the Colombian Treaty Waters, Duplicate Federal Fishery Permits, Operator Card or Decal, Aquacultured Live Rock (new permit), Aquacultured Live Rock (permit renewal), Harvest of Aquacultured Live Rock in the EEZ, Southeast Region Issued Operator Card, Consolidate Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish permits, Vessels Fishing for Wreckfish in the South Atlantic States (Wreckfish), and the Annual Dealer permit. The proposed revisions to the specified application forms are administrative and would combine two socio-economic questions into one, along with making them optional instead of required. The revisions would also update the payment method of Floy tags. Instead of the permit holder sending a check to NMFS with the application, Floy Tag, Inc., will begin reaching out to the permit holder for payment once the permit is issued. NMFS estimates that the proposed revisions would not change the annual number of respondents or responses, or annual costs to affected permit applicants from estimates in the currently approved collection. Across the application forms, NMFS estimates these revisions would not increase the overall time burden. The SERO Permits Office also proposes to modify the limited access permits by updating the form field name related to the selling price of the permit, along with removing the section related to the permit’s selling price. NMFS does not anticipate these revisions will materially change the time burden to the applicants. The SERO Permits Office also proposes to modify the Vessel EEZ application to include a checkbox and language related to the compliance of regulatory requirements. NMFS does not anticipate these revisions to the form will materially change the time burden to the applicants. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations, and individuals or households. Frequency: Annual and periodic. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1
