Letter from Susan H. Kuhbach to
Barbara P. Sidari, dated July 30, 1998,
which is available in the CRU.
3. On October 23, 1997, the
petitioners filed an application
requesting that the Department initiate
an anti–circumvention investigation of
Barilla S.r.L. (‘‘Barilla’’), an Italian
producer and exporter of pasta. The
Department initiated the investigation
on December 8, 1997. See Initiation of
Anti–Circumvention Inquiry on
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Pasta From Italy, 62 FR 65673
(December 15, 1997). On October 5,
1998, the Department issued its final
determination that, pursuant to section
781(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended by the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act effective January 1,
1995 (‘‘the Act’’), circumvention of the
antidumping order on pasta from Italy
was occurring by reason of exports of
bulk pasta from Italy produced by
Barilla which subsequently were
repackaged in the United States into
packages of five pounds or less for sale
in the United States. See Anti–
Circumvention Inquiry of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain
Pasta from Italy: Affirmative Final
Determination of Circumvention of the
Antidumping Duty Order, 63 FR 54672
(October 13, 1998).
4. On October 26, 1998, the
Department self–initiated a scope
inquiry to determine whether a package
weighing over five pounds as a result of
allowable industry tolerances is within
the scope of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders. On May 24,
1999, we issued a final scope ruling
finding that, effective October 26, 1998,
pasta in packages weighing or labeled
up to (and including) five pounds four
ounces is within the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders. See Memorandum from John
Brinkmann to Richard Moreland, dated
May 24, 1999, which is available in the
CRU.
5. On April 27, 2000, the Department
self–initiated an anti–circumvention
inquiry to determine whether Pastificio
Fratelli Pagani S.p.A.’s importation of
pasta in bulk and subsequent
repackaging in the United States into
packages of five pounds or less
constitutes circumvention with respect
to the antidumping and countervailing
duty orders on pasta from Italy pursuant
to section 781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.225(b). See Certain Pasta from Italy:
Notice of Initiation of Anti–
circumvention Inquiry of the
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders, 65 FR 26179 (May 5, 2000). On
September 19, 2003, we published an
affirmative finding of the anti–

circumvention inquiry. See Anti–
Circumvention Inquiry of the
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders on Certain Pasta from Italy:
Affirmative Final Determinations of
Circumvention of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 68 FR
54888 (September 19, 2003).
Rescission of Review
The Department’s regulations at 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in part, if a party
that requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Pastificio Laporta
S.a.s. withdrew its request for an
administrative review on September 15,
2005, which is within the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
a review with respect to this company.
Therefore, the Department is rescinding
this administrative review, in part, for
Pastificio Laporta S.a.s..
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 6, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

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 the country
that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the Agreement,
which came into force on 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 October 5, 2005,
the Binational Panel affirmed in part
and remanded in part the Department of
Commerce’s final antidumping duty
determination. The following issues
were remanded to the Department:
1. The Department was directed to
determine the amount of log seller profit
to be C$4.34, and to refrain from
apportioning this amount.
2. The Department was directed to
adjust the profit figures for Ontario,
Manitoba, and Saskatchewan to the
extent that their profit figures are
derivative of the profit figure for
Quebec.
The Investigating Authority was
directed to complete its remand
determination no later than October 28,
2005.

include: its duration; eligibility for
shares; initial allocation of shares;
potential caps and/or restrictions on
shares; and transferability of shares.
Other actions being considered include:
whether or not shares must be used;
how adjustments to the commercial
quota will affect allocations and shares;

SUMMARY: The Western Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) will

interactions between seabirds and
longline fishing.
DATES: The meeting will be held on
Tuesday, November 1, 2005, at 12 noon

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held
via telephone conference call at the
Council office, 1164 Bishop St., Suite

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kitty M. Simonds, Council Executive
Director; telephone: (808) 522–8220.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The items
of discussion in the Council meeting’s
agenda are as follows:
1. Pelagic Fisheries.
On April 6, 2005, the Council
transmitted to NMFS an amendment to
the Council’s Fishery Management Plan
for Pelagic Fisheries in the Western
Pacific (FMP), that recommended new
measures for mitigating interactions
between pelagic longline vessels and
seabirds. This amendment would
require all Hawaii-based longline
fishing vessels to either (a) side-set
(deploy longline gear from the side of
the vessel rather than from the stern), or
(b) use a combination of other
mitigation measures to prevent seabirds
(e.g., Laysan and black-footed
albatrosses), from being accidentally
hooked or entangled during fishing
operations in certain areas. These
measures would also reduce the
potential for fishery interactions with
endangered short-tailed albatrosses that
are known to be in the area in which the
fishery operates. On July 13, 2005,
NMFS published a proposed rule (70 FR
40302) with a request for public
comments. Comments received
indicated that modification of some
aspects of the proposed measures
should be considered, based on recent
observer and experimental observations.
Under the proposed rule, seabird
mitigation measures would be required
everywhere for Hawaii-based vessels
using shallow-set longline fishing gear,
and north of 23°N latitude for Hawaiibased vessels using deep-set longline
fishing gear. Operators of shallowsetting longline vessels that elect not to
side-set would continue to be required
