Decision: Approved. We know of no instrument of equivalent scientific value to the foreign instrument described below, for such purposes as this is intended to be used, that was being manufactured in the United States at the time of order. Docket Number: 24–009. Applicant: The Regents of the University of Michigan, 5082 Wolverine Tower, 3003 South State Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109–1287. Instrument: Formula Student Motor and Motor Controllers. Manufacturer: AMK Motion GmbH + CoKG, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument is intended to be used to teach current engineering students at the University of Michigan about vehicle integration, design, and dynamics. This is taught to students through participation in the national wide intercollegiate Formula SAE competitions. This motor is a critical component in the electric powertrain of the vehicle as each motor will independently control each wheel of the car. These specific motors from AMK allow our team to learn the fundamentals of such a process without having to design and manufacture our motors and motor controllers, which is a far more expensive, time-consuming, and knowledge-heavy process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This is a request for renewal of an approved information 
collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, the Secretary of Commerce has the responsibility for 
the conservation and management of marine fishery resources. Much of 
this responsibility has been delegated to the NOAA's National Marine 
Fisheries Service (NMFS). Under this stewardship role, the Secretary 
was given certain regulatory authorities to ensure the most beneficial 
uses of these resources. One of the regulatory steps taken to care out 
the conservation and management objectives is to collect information 
from users of the resources.
    This collection requires limited access mackerel and longfin squid/
butterfish moratorium permit holders to bring all catch aboard the 
vessel and make it available for sampling by an observer. If a catch is 
not made available to an observer before discard, that catch is defined 
as slippage, and the vessel operator must complete a ``Released Catch 
Affidavit'' form within 48 hours of the end of the fishing trip which 
details why catch was slipped, estimates the quantity and species 
composition of the slipped catch, and records the time and location of 
the slipped catch.

    This collection also requires any vessel with a limited access 
mackerel permit intending to land over 20,000 lb of mackerel to contact 
NMFS at least 48 hours in advance of a fishing trip to request an 
observer. Vessels currently contact NMFS via phone, and selection 
notices or waivers are issued by NMFS via VMS. If service providers are 
unable to provide coverage, an owner, operator, or vessel manager may 
request a waiver by calling the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program. 
Additionally, if a fishing trip is cancelled, vessels must notify NMFS 
of the cancelled trip to prevent observers from being deployed to a 
cancelled trip.
