On
November 29, 2024, notice was
published in the Federal Register (89
FR 94713) that a request for a permit to
conduct commercial and educational
photography had been submitted by the
above-named applicant. The requested

under the authority of the Marine
Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
The permit authorizes the applicant to
film up to 540 humpback whales
annually in the Auau Channel, Hawaii.
Filming may occur from vessels,
unmanned aircraft systems, and
underwater divers. Fifty common
bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and 50
spinner (Stenella longirostris) dolphins
may be filmed while interacting with
humpback whales. Footage will be used
for an episode of a natural history
television series. The permit is valid
through April 30, 2026.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or

manufacturers and importers who
furnish guaranties subject to the carpet
and rug flammability standards. The
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA) established product
certification requirements for applicable
consumer product safety standards and
rules. 15 U.S.C. 2063. Manufacturers
and importers of carpets and rugs
intended for general use must certify in
a general conformity certificate (GCC)
that the product complies with the
applicable standards based on testing or
a reasonable testing program. 16 CFR
part 1110. Manufacturers and importers
of children’s carpets and rugs must
certify in a children’s product certificate
(CPC) that the product complies with
the applicable standards based on
testing by a CPSC-accredited third-party
conformity assessment body. Id. Under
the FFA, a manufacturer or importer can
issue a guaranty of compliance, based
on reasonable and representative
testing, to retailers, distributors, or other
manufacturers to declare that a product
conforms with the applicable
flammability standards. 15 U.S.C. 1197.

to the information collection
requirements under the FFA. An
estimated 100 manufacturers and
importers of carpets and rugs issue a
GCC or a CPC. In addition, an estimated
20 such firms elect to issue a guaranty
of compliance with the FFA. Staff
estimates that the average firm issuing a
GCC, CPC, or guaranty under the FFA is
required to conduct, on average, 100
tests per year, although the actual
number of tests required by a given firm
may vary, depending upon the number
of carpet styles and the annual
production volume.
Estimated Time per Response: For
firms issuing a GCC or CPC, staff
estimates that the time to conduct each
test is two hours, including the time
required to establish and maintain the
test records. For firms issuing a guaranty
of compliance, staff estimates that the
time to conduct each test is 2.5 hours,
including the time required to establish
and maintain the test records.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The

respondents is 25,000 hours (20,000

plus 5,000 hours for firms that issue a
guaranty of compliance).
