Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise subject to the
investigation is certified organic soybean
meal. Certified organic soybean meal results
from the mechanical pressing of certified
organic soybeans into ground products
known as soybean cake, soybean chips, or
soybean flakes, with or without oil residues.
Soybean cake is the product after the
extraction of part of the oil from soybeans.
Soybean chips and soybean flakes are
produced by cracking, heating, and flaking
soybeans and reducing the oil content of the
conditioned product. ‘‘Certified organic
soybean meal’’ is certified by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) National
Organic Program (NOP) or equivalently
certified to NOP standards or NOP-equivalent
standards under an existing organic
equivalency or recognition agreement.
Certified organic soybean meal subject to
this investigation has a protein content of 34
percent or higher.
Organic soybean meal that is otherwise
subject to this investigation is included when
incorporated in admixtures, including but
not limited to prepared animal feeds. Only
the organic soybean meal component of such
admixture is covered by the scope of this
investigation. The products covered by this
investigation are currently classified under
the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
1208.10.0010 and 2304.00.0000. Certified
organic soybean meal may also enter under
HTSUS 2309.90.1005, 2309.90.1015,
2309.90.1020, 2309.90.1030, 2309.90.1032,
2309.90.1035, 2309.90.1045, 2309.90.1050,
and 2308.00.9890.
The HTSUS subheadings and
specifications are provided for convenience
and customs purposes; the written
description of the scope is dispositive.

Needs and Uses: This request is for
the revision and extension of a current
information collection. Under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Secretary
of Commerce has the responsibility for
the conservation and management of
marine fishery resources. We, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and
the Regional Fishery Management
Councils are delegated the majority of
this responsibility. The New England
Fishery Management Council (Council)
develops management plans for fishery
resources in New England.
In 2010, we implemented a new suite
of regulations for the Northeast (NE)
multispecies fishery through
Amendment 16 to the NE Multispecies
Fishery Management Plan (FMP). This
action updated status determination
criteria for all regulated NE multispecies
or ocean pout stocks; adopted
rebuilding programs for NE multispecies
(groundfish) stocks newly classified as
being overfished and subject to
overfishing; revised management
measures, including significant
revisions to the sector management
measures (established under
Amendment 13) necessary to end
overfishing, rebuild overfished
regulated NE multispecies and ocean
pout stocks, and mitigate the adverse
economic impacts of increased effort
controls. It also implemented new
requirements under Amendment 16 for
establishing acceptable biological catch,
annual catch limits (ACLs), and
accountability measures for each stock
managed under the FMP, pursuant to
the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Sectors are a management tool in the
groundfish fishery. A sector consists of
three or more limited access NE
multispecies vessel permits, with
distinct ownership, who voluntarily
enter into a contract to manage their
fishing operations and to share liability.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 23, 2022 / Notices
A sector is granted an annual allocation
of most stocks of fish managed by the
NE Multispecies FMP. In return for
increased operational flexibility, such as
exemptions from certain effort controls
and the ability to pool and trade quota,
sectors have additional reporting and
monitoring requirements. The sector
reporting and monitoring requirements,
as established by Amendment 16 and
revised by subsequent framework
adjustments to the NE Multispecies
FMP, are contained within this
information collection.
This revision incorporates a number
of recent changes. Amendment 16
required sectors to develop and fund an
independent third-party at-sea
monitoring (ASM) program.
Amendment 16 allowed sectors to use
electronic monitoring (EM) instead of
human monitors to meet ASM
requirements, provided that the Greater
Atlantic Regional Administrator deemed
it sufficient. Using the authority and
process granted to the agency in
Amendment 16, NMFS announced its
determination that sectors may use EM
to meet monitoring requirements (86 FR
16686; March 31, 2021). To implement
this change, we are proposing to collect
additional data elements necessary to
support an electronic monitoring
program. Specifically, we propose to
require the development and
submission of vessel monitoring plans
and trip-level feedback reports, both of
which are critical for accurate catch data
and management of ACLs. We also
propose to require the collection of
information related to the purchase and
installation of EM equipment. This is
necessary for NMFS to reimburse
industry’s ASM costs as directed and
funded by Congressional
appropriations.
In 2020, the Northwest Atlantic
Fisheries Organization (NAFO)
established a new requirement that
vessels fishing in the NAFO Regulatory
Area must submit daily catch reports via
a vessel monitoring system (VMS) and
NMFS implemented this requirement to
ensure compliance with NAFO
reporting requirements. Daily VMS
catch reports allow for near real-time
quota monitoring and are necessary for
the management of ACLs.
This revision removes information
collections related to VMS activation
confirmation responses, time and costs,
and the cost of purchase, maintenance
and automated polling, which was
transferred to OMB control number
0648–0202. This revision also removes
the Closed Area I Hook Gear Haddock
SAP from the US/Canada Area and CA
II SAPS, Closed Area I SAP and Regular
B Program catch reporting estimates

because NMFS removed the regulations
implementing this SAP after it was
eliminated as part of the Omnibus
Essential Fish Habitat Amendment 2 (85
FR 19129; April 6, 2020).
