Meeting materials from the public session will be accessible via the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) site at: https://tac.bis.doc.gov, within 30 days after the meeting. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Closure Determination SUMMARY: A Senior Advisor, performing the Non-Exclusive Functions and Duties of the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary for Administration, with the concurrence of the delegate of the General Counsel, formally determined, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(d), that the portion of the meeting dealing with pre-decisional changes to the Commerce Control List and the U.S. export control policies shall be exempt from the provisions relating to public meetings found in 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 1009(a)(3). The remaining portions of the meeting will be open to the public. The exemption is authorized by section 1009(d) of the FACA, which permits the closure of advisory committee meetings, or portions thereof, if the head of the agency to which the advisory committee reports determines such meetings may be closed to the public in accordance with subsection (c) of the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)). In this case, the applicable provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) are subsection 552b(c)(4), which permits closure to protect trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential, and subsection 552b(c)(9)(B), which permits closure to protect information that would be likely to disclose information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. The closed session of the meeting will involve committee discussions and guidance regarding U.S. Government strategies and policies. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Meeting Cancellation If the meeting is cancelled, a cancellation notice will be posted on the TAC website at: https://tac.bis.doc.gov.

ACTION: Notice of information collection, request for comment. AGENCY: The Department of Commerce, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 reporting burden. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment preceding submission of the collection to OMB. To ensure consideration, comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before May 19, 2025. DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments to Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer, at NOAA.PRA@noaa.gov. Please reference OMB Control Number 0648– 0591 in the subject line of your comments. All comments received are part of the public record and will generally be posted on https:// www.regulations.gov without change. Do not submit Confidential Business Information or otherwise sensitive or protected information. ADDRESSES: Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during these meetings. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after publication of this document 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. SUMMARY: 12707 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or specific questions related to collection activities should be directed to Felix Martin, Fishery Management Specialist, SEFSC, NMFS, 75 Virginia Beach Drive, Miami FL 33149, (305) 361–4263, felix.martin@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This is a request for renewal of an approved information collection. NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, annually collects economic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who hold one or more permits for harvesting shrimp from federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone). A collection of economic information from fishers affected by the management of federal commercial fisheries is needed to ensure that national goals, objectives, and requirements of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) and other laws are met. These data are needed to conduct economic analyses in support of management of the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal requirements. Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital investment and other economic information is collected from a random sample of permit holders. The data will be used to assess how fishermen will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely to be considered by fishery managers. No changes are requested with this renewal request. II. Method of Collection The information will be collected on paper using a mail survey. E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1
