Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 61 / Thursday, March 30, 2006 / Notices
of publication of the notice of initiation
of the requested review. Section
351.213(d)(1) of the Department’s
regulations regarding review request
withdrawals does not specifically
reference changed circumstances

Weyerhaeuser withdrew its request for a
changed circumstances review within
ninety days of the review being
initiated, the time period the
Department generally considers
reasonable for withdrawing requests for
administrative reviews. Therefore, the
Department has accepted
Weyerhaeuser’s withdrawal request in
this case as timely.1
The Department is now rescinding
this antidumping duty changed
circumstances review. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
suspend entries of subject merchandise
at the appropriate cash deposit rate for
all entries of certain softwood lumber
products from Canada.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in

more efficient and accurate database for
the management and monitoring of
fisheries of the EEZ in the western
Pacific.
Paper submissions, electronic reports,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), Fur Seal Act (FSA), and
Endangered Species Act (ESA) prohibit
certain actions affecting marine
mammals and endangered and
threatened species, with exceptions.
Permits can be obtained for scientific
research, enhancing the survival or
recovery of a species or stock,
commercial and educational
photography, and import and capture
for public display; authorizations can be
obtained for scientific research that
involves minimal disturbance. The
applicants desiring a permit or
authorization must provide certain
information in order for the National
Marine Fisheries Service to determine
whether a proposed activity is
consistent with the purposes, policies,
and requirements of these laws, and that
the activity is in the best interest of the
protected species and the public. The
permit holders and authorized
researchers must report on activities
conducted to ensure compliance with
permit conditions and protection of the
animals. Holders of captive marine
mammals must report changes to their
animal inventory.
Scientific research and enhancement
permit applications for non-salmonid
endangered and threatened species
previously submitted under OMB No.
0648–0402, will be combined with
permit applications for marine
mammals in order to streamline the
process for requesting takes of multiple
species and to accommodate an online
application system currently in
development. The regulations
implementing permit, authorization,
and inventory requirements under the
