SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:47 Mar 21, 2006 Jkt 208001 Background DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE On August 29, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Taiwan, covering the period July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 51009. The preliminary results of review are currently due no later than April 3, 2006. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 245-day time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days and the time limit for the final determination to 180 days (or 300 days if the Department does not extend the time limit for the preliminary determination) from the date of publication of the preliminary determination. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the original time limit because the review involves examining certain complex cost issues. Therefore, the Department is fully extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results until no later than July 31, 2006, which is 365 days from the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The deadline for the final results of this administrative review continues to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: March 16, 2006. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract Recreational catch reporting supplements existing data collection programs and provides important data used to monitor catches of highly migratory species. The data collected through this program are currently used for both domestic and international management and stock assessment purposes. The intent of Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch reporting is to provide real-time catch information for monitoring the recreational BFT fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (ATCA, 16 U.S.C. 971), the United States is required to abide by recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), including a specified BFT quota. This program supports BFT management and scientific research authorized under ATCA and the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFMCA,16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). Recreational anglers are required to report specific information regarding E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM 22MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 22, 2006 / Notices their catch after they land a BFT. The reported information is tallied and used to monitor recreational landings and incorporated into scientific analysis of BFT stock status. Any State that participates in tagging programs to monitor recreational landings would submit weekly and one annual report to summarize landings and results to date. Atlantic swordfish and billfish are managed internationally by ICCAT and nationally under the ATCA and the MSFMCA. This collection will provide information needed to monitor the recreational limit established by ICCAT for Atlantic blue and white marlin, and the recreational catch of North Atlantic swordfish, which is applied to the ICCAT established U.S. quota. This collection will also provide information on recreational landings of West Atlantic sailfish which is unavailable from established monitoring programs. Collection of sailfish catch information is authorized under MSFCMA for purposes of stock management. II. Method of Collection Respondents reporting BFT in all states (including the United States Virgin Islands and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) other than MD or NC may use either an Internet Website or an interactive voice response (IVR) telephone system. Respondents reporting Atlantic marlin, West Atlantic sailfish, or North Atlantic swordfish in all states (including the United States Virgin Islands and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) other than MD or NC must report by calling a toll-free telephone number. In MD and NC a paper reporting system is used for all of the aforementioned species.

On June 28, 2005, notice was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 37089) that a request for a scientific research permit to take harbor seals, spotted seals (P. largha), ringed seals (P. hispida), ribbon seals (P. fasciata), and bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) in Alaska had been submitted by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The requested permits have been issued under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the Regulations Governing the Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR part 216). Permit No. 1070–1783–00 authorizes researchers to disturb harbor seals from the Washington Inland Waters Stock during aerial and vessel surveys and scat collections. The objective of the research is to study temporal and spatial variation in numbers and diet composition of harbor seals to determine responses of harbor seals to changes in prey density and the impact of seal behavior on marine protected areas. The permit is valid through March 2011. Permit No. 358–1787–00 authorizes researchers to disturb seals in Alaska during aerial surveys. The permit also allows researchers to capture, sample, and tag seals and to disturb additional seals incidental to these capture and sampling operations. The permit allows for the research-related mortality of a limited number of seals each year. The permit allows for the collection of biological samples from subsistence harvested seals for various analyses. The purpose of the research is to collect additional information on the ecology of these seal species with the objectives of estimating trends in population abundance and identifying factors affecting the decline of some populations. The permit is valid through March 2011. E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM 22MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Recreational catch reporting supplements existing data collection 
programs and provides important data used to monitor catches of highly 
migratory species. The data collected through this program are 
currently used for both domestic and international management and stock 
assessment purposes. The intent of Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch 
reporting is to provide real-time catch information for monitoring the 
recreational BFT fishery. Under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 
1975 (ATCA, 16 U.S.C. 971), the United States is required to abide by 
recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of 
Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), including a specified BFT quota. This program 
supports BFT management and scientific research authorized under ATCA 
and the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act 
(MSFMCA,16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). Recreational anglers are required to 
report specific information regarding

their catch after they land a BFT. The reported information is tallied 
and used to monitor recreational landings and incorporated into 
scientific analysis of BFT stock status. Any State that participates in 
tagging programs to monitor recreational landings would submit weekly 
and one annual report to summarize landings and results to date. 
Atlantic swordfish and billfish are managed internationally by ICCAT 
and nationally under the ATCA and the MSFMCA. This collection will 
provide information needed to monitor the recreational limit 
established by ICCAT for Atlantic blue and white marlin, and the 
recreational catch of North Atlantic swordfish, which is applied to the 
ICCAT established U.S. quota. This collection will also provide 
information on recreational landings of West Atlantic sailfish which is 
unavailable from established monitoring programs. Collection of 
sailfish catch information is authorized under MSFCMA for purposes of 
stock management.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents reporting BFT in all states (including the United 
States Virgin Islands and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico) other than 
MD or NC may use either an Internet Website or an interactive voice 
response (IVR) telephone system. Respondents reporting Atlantic marlin, 
West Atlantic sailfish, or North Atlantic swordfish in all states 
(including the United States Virgin Islands and the commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico) other than MD or NC must report by calling a toll-free 
telephone number. In MD and NC a paper reporting system is used for all 
of the aforementioned species. Respondents in MD and NC must submit a 
landing card at a state reporting station.
