Abstract The purpose of this effort is to do an approximate 10-year replication of a 1995–96 study that established baseline information on the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of management strategies and regulations of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The baseline was conducted for three user groups: (1) Commercial fishermen, (2) Dive Shop Owners/ Operators, and (3) members of three local environmental groups (Last Stand, Reef Relief, and Sanctuary Friends). In 1998, the Socioeconomic Research and Monitoring Program for the FKNMS was established and the 1995–96 study results were incorporated as baseline measures. The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1431, et seq.) authorizes the use of monitoring within National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS). The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Protection Act (Public Law 101–605, Sec 7 (5)) also authorizes monitoring. The Management Plan and regulations for the FKNMS were not implemented until July 1997, which established 22 Sanctuary Preservation Areas (SPAs) and one Ecological Reserve (ER) that are ‘‘no take’’ zones. Another ER, the Tortugas, was established as part of a two-year public process and its regulations went into effect in July 2002. All consumptive or take activities were displaced from these zones. Eighteen (18) of the SPAs were also created to resolve user conflicts, while four were set aside for ‘‘Research Only.’’ In creating these special zones, socioeconomic impact analyses were done as required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In addition, a Regulatory Impact Review and an Initial and Final Regulatory E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM 15JNN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free-Trade 
Agreement (``Agreement'') establishes a mechanism to replace domestic 
judicial review of final determinations in antidumping and 
countervailing duty cases involving imports from the other country with 
review by independent binational panels. When a request for panel 
review is filed, a panel is established to act in place of national 
courts to review expeditiously the final determination to determine 
whether it conforms with the antidumping or countervailing duty law of

January 1, 1994, the Government of the United States, the Government of 
Canada and the Government of Mexico established Rules of Procedure for 
Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews (``Rules''). These rules were 
published in the Federal Register on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8686).
    Panel Decision: On June 9, 2005, the Binational Panel affirmed in 
part and remanded in part the Department of Commerce's final 
antidumping duty determination on remand. The following issues were 
remanded to the Department:
    1. To render a negative less than fair value (LTFV) determination 
with respect to exports by respondent West Fraser Mills, and to revoke 
the antidumping duty order on Softwood Lumber from Canada with respect 
to exports by West Fraser Mills; and it is further ordered that
    2. The Panel remands this case to the Department, with instructions 
for the Department to recalculate the final LTFV margins for 
respondents other than West Fraser without regard to ``zeroing''.
    The Panel affirmed Commerce's amended final LTFV determination with 
respect to all other issues.
    Commerce was directed to issue its determination on remand within 
30 days of the issuance of the panel decision or not later than July 
11, 2005.
