I. Abstract
This is a request to extend the
expiration date of this currently
approved information collection. This
information is collected from all testing
or calibration laboratories that apply for
NVLAP accreditation. Applicants
provide the minimum information
necessary for NVLAP to evaluate the
competency of laboratories to carry out
specific tests or calibrations or types of
tests or calibrations. The collection is
mandated by 15 CFR 285.
II. Method of Collection
Each new or renewal applicant
laboratory electronically submits its
application for NVLAP accreditation
through a self-service, web-based portal
called the ‘‘NVLAP Interactive Web
System’’ (NIWS). This method of
collection also gives applicant
laboratories the ability to upload
document files needed to support the
application process and to maintain
their own profile information.

Regulations at 50 CFR part 300,

allocations of surplus stocks in the
Russian Economic Zone. Permit

Russian authorities issue a permit, the
vessel owner or operator must submit a
permit abstract report to NMFS, and
also report 24 hours before leaving the
U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for
the Russian Economic Zone and 24
hours before re-entering the U.S. EEZ
after being in the Russian Economic
Zone.
The permit application information is
used by Russian authorities to
determine whether to issue a permit.
NMFS uses the other information to
help ensure compliance with Russian
and U.S. fishery management
regulations.
II. Method of Collection
Paper forms are used for applications.
Submission of copies of permits, vessel
abstract reports, and departure and
return messages are provided by fax.

Atlantic Shark Identification
Workshops
Since January 1, 2008, Atlantic shark
dealers have been prohibited from
receiving, purchasing, trading, or
bartering for Atlantic sharks unless a
valid Atlantic Shark Identification
Workshop certificate is on the premises
of each business listed under the shark
dealer permit that first receives Atlantic
sharks (71 FR 58057; October 2, 2006).
Dealers who attend and successfully
complete a workshop are issued a
certificate for each place of business that
is permitted to receive sharks. These
certificate(s) are valid for 3 years. Thus,
certificates that were initially issued in
2015 will be expiring in 2018.
Approximately 148 free Atlantic Shark
Identification Workshops have been
conducted since January 2008.
Currently, permitted dealers may send
a proxy to an Atlantic Shark
Identification Workshop. However, if a
dealer opts to send a proxy, the dealer
must designate a proxy for each place of
business covered by the dealer’s permit
which first receives Atlantic sharks.
Only one certificate will be issued to
each proxy. A proxy must be a person
