                             1. Introduction

    (a) This appendix to part 679 contains the performance and technical 
requirements for scales to be approved by NMFS for use to weigh, at sea, 
catch from the groundfish fisheries off Alaska. The performance and 
technical requirements in this document have not been reviewed or 
endorsed by the National Conference on Weights and Measures. Regulations 
implementing the requirements of this appendix and additional 
requirements for and with respect to scales used to weigh catch at sea 
are found at 50 CFR 679.28(b).
    (b) Revisions, amendments, or additions to this appendix may be made 
after notice and opportunity for public comments. Send requests for 
revisions, amendments, or additions to the Sustainable Fisheries 
Division, Alaska Region, NMFS, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, AK 99802.
    (c) Types of Scales Covered by Appendix--This appendix contains 
performance and technical requirements for belt, automatic hopper, 
platform, and hanging scales.
    (d) Testing and Approval of Scales Used to Weigh Catch at Sea--
Scales used to weigh catch at sea are required to comply with four 
categories of performance and technical requirements: (1) Type 
evaluation; (2) initial inspection after installation while the vessel 
is tied up at a dock and is not under power at sea; (3) annual 
reinspection while the vessel is tied up at a dock and is not under 
power at sea; and (4) daily at-sea tests of the scale's accuracy. This 
appendix contains only the performance and technical requirements for 
type evaluation and initial and annual reinspections by an authorized 
scale inspector.

                             2. Belt Scales

    2.1  Applicability. The requirements in this section apply to a 
scale or scale system that employs a conveyor belt in contact with a 
weighing element to determine the weight of a bulk commodity being 
conveyed across the scale.
    2.2  Performance Requirements--2.2.1 Maximum Permissible Errors. For 
laboratory tests of a scale and initial inspections and annual 
reinspections of an installed scale when the vessel is tied up at a dock 
and is not under power at sea, the following maximum permissible errors 
(MPEs) are specified:
    2.2.1.1  Laboratory Tests. See annex A to this appendix A for 
procedures for disturbance tests and influence factors.

[[Page 744]]

    a. Disturbances. 0.18 percent of the weight of the load 
totalized.
    b. Influence Factors. 0.25 percent of the weight of the 
load totalized.

values obtained at zero flow rate taken at temperatures that differ by 
10 deg. C 0.2  deg.C must not be greater than 0.035 percent 
of the weight of the load totalized at the maximum flow-rate for the 
time of the test.
    2.2.1.2  Zero Load Tests. For zero load tests conducted in a 
laboratory or on a scale installed on a vessel and conducted when the 
vessel is tied up at a dock and not under power at sea, 0.1 
percent of the value of the minimum totalized load or 1 scale division 
(d), whichever is greater.
    2.2.1.3  Material Tests. For material tests conducted in a 
laboratory or on a scale installed on a vessel and conducted when the 
vessel is tied up at a dock and not under power at sea, 1.0 
percent of the known weight of the test material.

indicator, and a printer. The indications and printed representations 
must be clear, definite, accurate, and easily read under all conditions 
of normal operation of the belt scale.
    2.3.1.2  Values Defined. If indications or printed representations 
are intended to have specific values, these must be defined by a 
sufficient number of figures, words, or symbols, uniformly placed with 
reference to the indications or printed representations and as close as 
practicable to the indications or printed representations but not so 
positioned as to interfere with the accuracy of reading.

commodity in predetermined amounts.
    3.2  Performance Requirements.
    3.2.1  Maximum Permissible Errors. For laboratory tests of a scale 
and initial inspection and annual reinspections of an installed scale 
when the vessel is tied up at a dock and is not under power at sea, the 
following MPEs are specified:
    3.2.1.1  Laboratory Tests. See annex A to appendix A for procedures 
for disturbance test and influence factors.
    a. Disturbances. Significant fault (sf) (scale 
division).
    b. Influence Factors. 1 percent of test load.
    3.2.1.2  Increasing and Decreasing Load Tests. For increasing and

not be less than 4 weighments.
    3.2.4  Influence Quantities. The following requirements apply to 
influence factor tests conducted in the laboratory:
    3.2.4.1  Temperature. A hopper scale must comply with the 
metrological and technical requirements at temperatures from -10 deg. C 
to +40 deg. C. However, for special applications the temperature range 
may be different, but the range must not be less than 30 deg. C and must 
be so specified on the scale's descriptive markings.
    3.2.4.1.1  Operating Temperature. A hopper scale must not display or 
print any usable weight values until the operating temperature necessary 
for accurate weighing and a stable zero-balance condition have been 
attained.
    3.2.4.2  Power Supply. A hopper scale must comply with the 
performance and technical requirements when operated within -15 percent 
to +10 percent of the power supply specified on the scale's descriptive 
markings.
    3.3  Technical Requirements.
    3.3.1  Indicators and Printers.
    3.3.1.1  General. a. A hopper scale must be equipped with an 
indicator and printer that indicates and prints the weight of each load 
and a no-load reference value; and a printer that prints the total 
weight of fish in each haul or set and the total cumulative weight of 
all fish and other material weighed on the scale between annual 
inspections (``the cumulative weight''). The indications and printed 
information must be clear, definite, accurate, and easily read under all 
conditions of normal operation of the hopper scale.
    b. A no-load reference value may be a positive or negative value in 
terms of scale divisions or zero. When the no-load reference value is 
zero, the scale must return to a zero indication (within  
0.5 scale division) when the load receptor (hopper) is empty following 
the discharge of all loads, without the intervention of either automatic 
or manual means.
    3.3.1.2  Values Defined. If indications or printed representations 
are intended to have specific values, these must be defined by a 
sufficient number of figures, words, or symbols, uniformly placed with 
reference to the indications or printed representations and as close as 
practicable to the indications or printed representations but not so 
positioned as to interfere with the accuracy of reading.
    3.3.1.3  Units. The weight of each haul or set must be indicated in 
kilograms, and the cumulative weight must be indicated in either 
kilograms or metric tons and decimal subdivisions.

less) that is adapted for use on a bench or counter or on the floor. A 
platform scale can be self contained, that is, the indicator and load 
receiver and weighing elements are all comprised of a single unit, or 
the indicator can be connected by cable to a separate load receiver and 
weighing element. The technology used may be mechanical, electro-

where appropriate, the reference condition under which the intrinsic 
error is determined.
    A.2  Test Considerations
    A.2.1  All electronic scales of the same category must be subjected 
to the same performance test program.
    A.2.2  Tests must be carried out on fully operational equipment in 
its normal operational state. When equipment is connected in other than 
a normal configuration, the procedure must be mutually agreed to by NMFS 
and the applicant.
    A.2.3  When the effect of one factor is being evaluated, all other 
factors must be held relatively constant, at a value close to normal. 
The temperature is deemed to be relatively constant when the difference 
between the extreme temperatures noted during the test does not exceed 
5 deg. C and the variation over time does not exceed 5 deg. C per hour.
    A.2.4 Before the start of a test, the equipment under test (EUT) 
must be energized for a period of time at least equal to the warm-up 
time specified by the manufacturer. The EUT must remain energized 
throughout the duration of the test.

    To verify compliance with the provisions in this manual under 
conditions of electromagnetic fields.
    Reference to standard: See section A.4 Bibliography (g).

                        Test procedure in brief:

    a. The EUT is placed in an EMI chamber and tested under normal 
atmospheric conditions. This test is first conducted at one load in a 
static mode, and the frequencies at which susceptibility is evident are 
noted. Then tests are conducted at the problem frequencies, if any, 
during a weighing operation consisting of the following:
    For belt scales--while totalizing at the maximum flow rate at least 
the [Sigma]min (or a time sufficient to complete the test). 
It is then exposed to electromagnetic field strengths as specified in 
the Test severities in this section A.3.7 of this annex to appendix A of 
this part.
    For platform, hanging, and automatic hopper scales--tested with one 
small test load.
    b. The field strength can be generated in various ways:
    i. The strip line is used at low frequencies (below 30 MHz or in 
some cases 150 MHz) for small EUT's;
    ii. The long wire is used at low frequencies (below 30 MHz) for 
larger EUT's;
    iii. Dipole antennas or antennas with circular polarization placed 1 
m from the EUT are used at high frequencies.
    c. Under exposure to electromagnetic fields the EUT is again tested 
as indicated above.
    Test severities: Frequency range: 26-1000 MHz.
    Field strength: 3 V/m.
    Modulation: 80 percent AM, 1 kHz sine wave.
    Number of test cycles: Conduct test by continuously scanning the 
specified frequency range while maintaining the field strength.
    Maximum allowable variations: The difference between the indication 
due to the disturbance and the indication without the disturbance either 
must not exceed the values given in this manual, or the EUT must detect 
and act upon a significant fault.
    Conduct of the test: Refer to the IEC Publication referenced in 
section A.4 Bibliography (g) for detailed information on test 
procedures.
    Supplementary information to the IEC test procedures.

                            Test conditions:

    a. The specified field strength must be established prior to the 
actual testing (without the EUT in the field). At least 1 m of all 
external cables must be included in the exposure by stretching them 
horizontally from the EUT.
    b. The field strength must be generated in two orthogonal 
polarizations and the frequency range scanned slowly. If antennas with 
circular polarization, i.e., log-spiral or helical antennas, are used to 
generate the electromagnetic field, a change in the position of the 
antennas is not required. When the test is carried out in a shielded 
enclosure to comply with international laws prohibiting interference to 
radio communications, care needs to be taken to handle reflections from 
the walls. Anechoic shielding might be necessary.

\1\To report a landing at a location not currently assigned a location code number: use the code for ``Other''
  for the state or country at which the landing occurs and notify NMFS of the actual location so that we may
  update our list. For example, to report a landing for Levelock, Alaska if there is currently no code assigned,
  use ``499'' ``Other, AK''.

             Code                        Seabird Avoidance Gear
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1                              Bird streamer line. Tow a streamer line
                                or lines during deployment of gear to
                                prevent birds from taking hooks.
                                Streamer line consists of three
                                components: a length of line, streamers
                                attached along a portion of the lenght
                                and one or more float devices at the
                                terminal end. This device can be single
                                or paired.
2                              Buoy bag, bird bag, or other float
                                device. Tow a buoy, board, stick or
                                other device during deployment of gear,
                                at a distance appropriate to prevent
                                birds from taking baited hooks. Each of
                                these devices consist of two components:
                                a length of line (without streamers
                                attached), and one or more float devices
                                at the terminal end. Multiple devices
                                may be used.
3                              Lining tube and /or line shooter. Deploy
                                hooks underwater through a lining tube
                                at a depth sufficient to prevent birds
                                from settling on hooks during deployment
                                of gear.
4                              Combination of devices. Any combination
                                of the above devices (codes 1, 2, and /
                                or 3).
