The applicant proposes to conduct scientific research that would study the survival, recruitment, age and growth, population dynamics, movements and migrations, habitat utilization, and distribution of sea turtles. The research would contribute information towards a better understanding of fishery interaction issues relating to these species. The information would be used to improve stock assessments, assess anthropogenic activities, and inform sea turtle conservation efforts. Up to 455 loggerhead, 336 green sea turtles, 230 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles, 92 hawksbill sea turtles, 20 olive ridley sea turtles, 61 leatherback sea turtles, and 25 hardshell erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:23 Feb 06, 2006 Jkt 208001 sea turtles species that would not be identifiable at the time of capture would be taken by pound net, entanglement net, hoop/dip net, or hand capture annually. An additional 1,700 loggerhead, 550 green, 600 Kemp’s ridley, 550 hawksbill, 50 olive ridley, 850 leatherback, and 1,000 unidentified hardshell species could be harassed by aerial surveys. Up to 1,105 loggerhead, 536 green, 330 Kemp’s ridley, 97 hawksbill, 22 olive ridley, 66 leatherback, and 30 unidentified hardshell species would be handled, measured, weighed, photographed, flipper tagged, passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagged, skin biopsied, and released annually. Researchers would take a variety of measurements, including the mouth, head, plastron, and tail length. Researchers would collect a blood sample, cloacal and lesion cultures, a epibiota sample, a keratin sample, and a fecal sample from a subset of these animals. Researchers would also gastric lavage, fat biopsy, tetracycline mark, laparoscopy, liver biopsy, take gonad, muscle and other colemic biopsies, attach electronic tags, attach a living tag, and conduct behavioral studies on a subset of these sea turtles. Up to 1 leatherback and 5 hardshell (total all species combined) mortalities could occur during the course of the research. The permit would be issued for 5 years. Research would take place in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Dated: February 1, 2006. Stephen L.

As the result of an investigation into the evasion of China safeguard quotas, CBP has seized shipments of apparel from China that had been deliberately misdescribed and misclassified as being of ‘‘ramie’’ fabric, but which were actually of cotton and/or man-made fiber. Further investigation has found that shipments had already entered as being of ‘‘ramie’’ fabric, but were also of cotton and/or man-made fiber. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will adjust individual entries that had been entered incorrectly in 2005 to reflect the correct classification of apparel that should have entered and been charged against the 2005 safeguard limits in categories 338/339, 347/348, and 647/648. Any adjusted charges will be applied to scheduled staged entries of overshipments (70 FR 72427), beginning on March 1, 2006. This action may impact the amount of additional shipments that will be released during this and subsequent staged entries. James C.
