(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.

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.
Condition of EUT:
a. Normal power supplied and ``on'' for a time period equal to or greater than the warm-up time specified by the manufacturer. Power is to be ``on'' for the duration of the test. The EUT must be operating under standard atmospheric conditions for testing.
b. Adjust the EUT as close to a zero indication as practicable prior to the test.
Test sequence:
a. Stabilize all factors at nominal reference conditions.
b. Conduct the test as indicated in this A.3.7 Test Sequence section and record the--
i. Date and time,
ii. Temperature,
iii. Relative humidity,
iv. Test load,
v. Indication,
vi. Errors, and
vii. Functions performance.
c. Following the IEC test procedures, expose the EUT at zero load to the specified field strengths while slowly scanning the three indicated frequency ranges.
d. Observe and record the effect on the EUT.
e. Repeat the test and observe and record the effect.
f. Stabilize all factors at nominal reference conditions.
g. Repeat the test and record the test data.

CODE SEABIRD AVOIDANCE GEAR OR METHOD.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Paired Streamer Lines: Used during deployment of hook-and-line gear
to prevent birds from taking hooks. Two streamer lines used, one
on each side of the main groundline. Each streamer line consists
of three components: a length of line, streamers attached along a
portion of the length and one or more float devices at the
terminal end. See performance and material standards at Sec.
679.24(e)(4)(iii).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Single Streamer Line: Used during deployment of hook-and-line gear
to prevent birds from taking hooks. The streamer line consists of
three components: a length of line, streamers attached along a
portion of the length and one or more float devices at the
terminal end. See performance and material standards at Sec.
679.24(e)(4)(ii).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3 Single Streamer Line, used with Snap Gear: Used during the
deployment of snap gear to prevent birds from taking hooks. The
streamer line consists of three components: a length of line,
streamers attached along a portion of the length and one or more
float devices at the terminal end. See performance and material
standards at Sec. 679.24(e)(4)(iv).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4 Buoy Bag Line: Used during the deployment of hook-and-line gear to
prevent birds from taking hooks. A buoy bag line consists of two
components: a length of line (without streamers attached) and one
or more float devices at the terminal end. See performance and
material standards at Sec. 679.24(e)(4)(i).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other Device used in conjunction with Single Streamer Line or Buoy Bag Line----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5 Add weights to groundline: Applying weights to the groundline for
the purpose of sinking the hook-and-line gear more quickly and
preventing seabirds from accessing the baited hooks.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6 Additional Buoy Bag Line or Single Streamer Line: Using a second
buoy bag line or streamer line for the purpose of enhancing the
effectiveness of these deterrent devices at preventing seabirds
from accessing baited hooks.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7 Strategic Offal Discharge: Discharging fish, fish parts (i.e.,
offal) or spent bait for the purpose of distracting seabirds away
from the main groundline while setting gear.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Additional Device Used----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8 Night Fishing: Setting hook-and-line gear during dark (night time
hours).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Line Shooter: A hydraulic device designed to deploy hook-and-line
gear at a speed slightly faster than the vessel's speed during
setting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Lining Tube: A device used to deploy hook-and-line gear through an
underwater-setting device.
