will include the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any such comments,
within 120 days of publication of the
preliminary results.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice
are in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(I)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 31, 2005.

SUMMARY: On November 17, 2004, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published an Amended
Final Determination in Accordance with
Court Decision of the Antidumping Duty
Investigation of Stainless Steel Sheet
and Strip in Coils From Taiwan, 69 FR
67311 (November 17, 2004) (‘‘Amended
Final Determination’’). In the Amended
Final Determination, the Department
announced the incorrect effective date
of the exclusion from the antidumping
duty order on stainless steel sheet and
strip in coils from Taiwan with respect
to entries from Tung Mung

Development Corporation (‘‘Tung
Mung’’).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 8, 1999, the Department
published the Final Determination of
Sales at Less than Fair Value: Stainless
Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From
Taiwan, 64 FR 30592 (June 8, 1999)
(‘‘Final Determination’’), covering the
period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) of April
1, 1997, through March 31, 1998. This
investigation involved three Taiwanese
producers/exporters, Tung Mung, Yieh
United Steel Corporation (‘‘YUSCO’’),
Chang Mien Industries Co., Ltd. (‘‘Chang
Mien’’), and a Taiwanese middleman,
Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Company Ltd.
(‘‘Ta Chen’’). Tung Mung and YUSCO
contested various aspects of the Final
Determination. On July 3, 2001, the
Court of International Trade (‘‘CIT’’)
issued slip opinion 01–83 in Tung Mung
Development Co., Ltd. v. United States,
Consol. Court No. 99–06–00457 (CIT
July 3, 2001) (‘‘Tung Mung I’’) and
remanded the Final Determination to
the Department. In the March 21, 2001,
remand determination, the Department
found, among other issues, that the
merchandise produced and exported by
Tung Mung had not been sold at less
than fair value during the POI. On
August 22, 2002, the CIT found that the
Department’s remand determination
was in accordance with the law. See
Tung Mung Development Co., Ltd. v.
U.S., 219 F.Supp.2d 1333 (CIT August
22, 2002) (‘‘Tung Mung II’’).
Domestic producers appealed this
decision. On January 15, 2004, the Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled
that the Department’s decision to
calculate middleman antidumping rates
using combination rates was not
arbitrary and capricious and affirmed
the CIT’s affirmance of the Department’s
redetermination. See Tung Mung
Development Co., Ltd. v. U.S., 354 F.3d
1371 (Fed.Cir. January 15, 2004) (‘‘Tung
Mung III’’), Tung Mung II, and the
Department’s Final Results of
Redetermination Pursuant to Court
Remand in response to Tung Mung I.
On November 17, 2004, the
Department published the Amended
Final Determination in which it stated
that it will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to liquidate
entries from Tung Mung without regard
to antidumping duties because Tung
Mung is excluded from the antidumping
duty order effective October 16, 2002,
the date on which the Department
published a notice of the Court decision
(see Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in
Coils from Taiwan: Notice of Court
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Decision, 67 FR 63887 (October 16,
2002)). The above instructions should
have read that the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries from
Tung Mung without regard to
antidumping duties effective June 8,
1999, the date on which the Department
published its Final Determination,
because liquidation of entries from Tung
Mung was first suspended on that date
and remained covered by an injunction
during the pendency of the litigation.
Thus, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
entries from Tung Mung without any
regard to antidumping duties effective
June 8, 1999.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 735(d) of Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended.
Dated: March 30, 2005.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (Council) and
NMFS intend to prepare a draft
supplemental environmental impact
statement (DSEIS) in support of a
proposed Amendment to Extend the
Charter Vessel/Headboat Permit
Moratorium (Moratorium Amendment).
The DSEIS will evaluate alternatives for
allowing the permit moratorium to
expire, extending the moratorium for a
finite time period, or establishing a
permanent limited access program. The
purpose of this notice of intent is to
solicit public comments on the range of
alternatives and scope of issues to be
addressed in the DSEIS.
DATES: Written comments on the scope
of the DSEIS must be received by 5 p.m.
May 9, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on the scope of the DSEIS by any of the
following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Council and NMFS intend to prepare a
DSEIS in support of the proposed
Moratorium Amendment. For-hire
vessel permits were initially required in
the coastal migratory pelagic (CMP)
fishery starting in 1987 and in the reef
fish fishery in 1997. Amendments
establishing the charter vessel/headboat
permit moratorium for the CMP fishery
(Amendment 14) and the Reef Fish
fishery (Amendment 20) were approved
by NMFS on May 6, 2003, and
implemented on June 16, 2003 (68 FR
26280). The intended effect of these
amendments was to cap the number of
for-hire vessels operating in these two
fisheries at the current level (as of
March 29, 2001) while the Council
evaluated whether limited access
programs were needed to constrain
effort. In this proposed Moratorium
Amendment, the Council is considering
alternatives that would: allow the
moratorium on for-hire reef fish and
CMP permits to expire; extend the
moratorium for a finite period of time (5
or 10 years); or establish a permanent
limited access program. In any case,
except for allowing the moratorium to
expire, there would be no new permits
issued. The DSEIS will evaluate the
impacts of these alternatives.
Alternatives which have been under
consideration are described in detail in
The Scoping Document for Extending
the Charter Vessel/Headboat Permit
Moratorium by Amending the FMPs for:
Reef Fish (Amendment 25) and Coastal
Migratory Pelagics (Amendment 17),
which is available from the Council (see
ADDRESSES). The Council is soliciting
public comment on the range of
VerDate jul<14>2003

alternatives and scope of issues that
should be considered in this DSEIS.
In accordance with NOAA’s
Administrative Order NAO 216–6,
Section 502(c)4, the Council previously
held nine scoping hearings during June
2004 to solicit input from interested
parties on proposed actions and
alternatives identified in the abovementioned scoping document. These
hearings were held in the following
locations: Port Isabel, Port Aransas, and
Galveston, TX; Kenner, LA; Biloxi, MS;
Orange Beach, AL; Destin, Madeira
Beach, and Naples, FL.
Additionally, public comments may
be accepted at the following Council
meetings and during public hearings
that will be announced in future
Federal Register notices:
July 11–14, 2005, Diamondhead AllSuite Beach Resort, 2000 Estero
Boulevard, Ft. Myers Beach, FL 33931;
and
September 12–15, 2005, New Orleans,
LA (Location TBA).
The meetings will be physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to the Gulf Council
(see ADDRESSES).
The completed DSEIS associated with
the draft Moratorium Amendment will
be filed with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), announced in
the Federal Register, and open to public
comment for a 45–day period. This
procedure is pursuant to regulations
issued by the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) for implementing the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), and to NOAA’s Administrative
Order 216–6 on complying with NEPA
and the CEQ regulations.
The Council will consider public
comments received on the DSEIS in
developing the final supplemental
environmental impact statement
(FSEIS), and before taking final action
on the Moratorium Amendment. The
Council will submit both the final
amendment and the supporting FSEIS to
NMFS for Secretarial review, approval,
and implementation under the
requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
NMFS will announce, through a
document published in the Federal
Register, the availability of the final
Moratorium Amendment for public
review during the Secretarial review
period. During Secretarial review,
NMFS will also file the FSEIS with the
EPA for a final 30–day public comment
period. This comment period will be
concurrent with the Secretarial review
period and will end prior to final agency

Amendment.
NMFS will announce, through a
notice published in the Federal
Register, all public comment periods on
the final Moratorium Amendment, any
proposed implementing regulations, and
its associated FSEIS. NMFS will
consider all public comments received
