are outside and/or specifically excluded from
the scope of the investigation:
• burgers, snack bars, bakery products,
sugar and gum confectionary products, milk,
cheese, baby food, sauces and seasonings,
and pet food, even when such products are
made with HPC pea protein;
• HPC pea protein that has gone through
an extrusion process to alter the HPC pea
protein at the structural and functional level,
resulting in a product with a fibrous structure
which resembles muscle meat upon
hydration. These products are commonly
described as textured pea protein or
texturized pea protein;
• HPC pea protein that has been further
processed to create a small crunchy nugget
commonly described as a pea protein crisp;
• protein derived from chickpeas.
The merchandise covered by the scope is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This is a request for an extension of
an approved information collection. The
NMFS Southeast Regional Office
manages three commercial individual
fishing quota (IFQ) and individual
transferable quota (ITQ) programs in the
NMFS Southeast Region under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq. The IFQ programs for red
snapper, and groupers and tilefishes
occur in Federal waters of the Gulf of
Mexico (Gulf), and the ITQ program for
wreckfish occurs in Federal waters of
the South Atlantic.
The NMFS Southeast Regional Office
proposes to extend the information
collection currently approved under
OMB Control Number 0648–0551. This
collection of information tracks the
transfer and use of IFQ and ITQ shares,
and IFQ allocation and landings by
commercial fishermen necessary for
NMFS to operate, administer, and
review management of the IFQ and ITQ
programs. Regulations for the IFQ and

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:57 Feb 12, 2024

Jkt 262001

ITQ programs are located at 50 CFR part
622. NMFS proposes no revisions to the
existing information collections for the
IFQ and ITQ programs approved under
OMB Control Number 0648–0551.
II. Method of Collection
Information for the Gulf red snapper,
and grouper and tilefish IFQ programs
is collected electronically via a webbased system, through satellite-linked
vessel monitoring systems, through a
24-hour call line, and with paper form
submission for landing corrections,
closing an account, and account
applications, as well as landing
transactions under catastrophic
circumstances.
The share transfer process in the
wreckfish ITQ program requires the
signatures of witnesses on paper forms.
The wreckfish ITQ program remains
paper-based until the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS consider whether to implement
an electronic system.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0551.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission—
extension of a current information
collection.

for-profit organizations.
