Final Results of Reviews
In accordance with section 777A(e)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we
calculated an ad valorem subsidy rate
for the Urenco Group for calendar year
2004. The total net subsidy rate for the
Urenco Group in these reviews is 0.00
percent ad valorem for the POR.
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP), within 15 days
of publication of the final results of
these reviews, to liquidate shipments of
low enriched uranium by Urenco from
Germany, the Netherlands, and the
United Kingdom entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption from
January 1, 2004, through December 31,
2004, without regard to countervailing
duties. Moreover, the Department also
will instruct CBP to discontinue the
suspension of liquidation on all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after January 1,
2005. In addition, for the period January
1, 2004, through December 31, 2004, the
assessment rates applicable to all non–
reviewed companies covered by this
order are the cash deposit rates in effect
at the time of entry.
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 return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These administrative reviews and this
notice are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1),
751(a)(3) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

primarily from Federal waters off the
coast of Georgia but may also be
collected from Federal waters off the
coasts of South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Texas during 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Fishes would be captured in some
areas using barrier and hand nets in
conjunction with SCUBA, hook and
line, and traps. The barrier net would be
set up underwater to provide a barrier
to a school of fish. The fish would be
herded into the barrier net and then
hand netted. The net would be set for
approximately 1 hour at a time and
monitored by divers using SCUBA at all
times. The net is 50 ft (15.2 m) long and
5 ft (1.5 m) deep with 1–inch (2.5–cm)
monofilament mesh. Hook and line
would be employed at depths less than
100 ft (30.4 m) to capture bottomdwelling fish, and in the water column
for other species. Methods would be
identical to that used by charter fishing
boats. Fish traps will be used in some
areas and are constructed from 1.5–inch
(3.8–cm) wire mesh and are
approximately 3 ft (1 m) long, 3 ft (1 m)
wide and 4 ft (1.2 m) high. The entrance
to the traps is a vertical slit 2 inches (5
cm) wide and 12 inches (0.30 m) long.
Ten traps would be deployed for up to
10 fishing periods of 12 hours each.
NMFS finds this application warrants
further consideration. Based on a
preliminary review, NMFS intends to

issue an EFP. Possible conditions the
agency may impose on this permit, if it
is indeed granted, include but are not
limited to: Reduction in the number or
species of fish to be collected;
restrictions on the placement of traps;
restrictions on the size of fish to be
collected; prohibition of the harvest of
any fish with visible external tags; and
specification of locations, dates, and/or
seasons allowed for collection of
particular fish species. A final decision
on issuance of the EFP will depend on
a NMFS review of public comments
received on the application,
consultations with the affected states,
the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council, the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council, and the U.S.
Coast Guard, and a determination that it
is consistent with all applicable laws.
The applicant requests a 24-month
effective period for the EFP.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Section 302 of Public Law 99–
662 established the Inland Waterways
Users Board. The Board is an
independent Federal advisory
committee. The Secretary of the Army
appoints its 11 members. This notice is
to solicit nominations for five (5)
appointments or reappointments to twoyear terms that will begin after
November 1, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Office of the Assistant
Secretary of the Army (Civil Works),
Attetion: Inland Waterways Users Board

Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–0108.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the
Army (Civil Works), (703) 697–8986.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
selection, service, and appointment of
Board members are covered by
provisions of Section 302 of Public Law
99–662. The substance of those
provisions is as follows:
a. Selection. Members are to be
selected from the spectrum of
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703

commercial carriers and shippers using
the inland and intracostal waterways, to
represent geographical regions, and to
be representative of waterborne
commerce as determined by commodity
ton-miles statistics.
b. Service. The Board is required to
meet at least semi-annually to develop
and make recommendations to the
Secretary of the Army on waterways
construction and rehabilitation
priorities and spending levels for
commercial navigation improvements,
and report its recommendations
annually to the Secretary and Congress.
c. Appointment. The operation of the
Board and appointment of its members
are subject to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–463, as
amended) and departmental
implementing regulations. Members
serve without compensation but their
expenses due to Board activities are
reimbursable. The considerations
specified in Section 302 for the
selection of the Board members, and
certain terms used therein, have been
interpreted, supplemented, or otherwise
clarified as follows:
(1) Carriers and Shippers. The law
uses the terms ‘‘primary users and
shipper.’’ Primary users have been
intepreted to mean the providers of
transportation services on inland
waterways such as barge or towboat
operators. Shippers have been
interpreted to mean the purchasers of
such services for the movement of
commodities they own or control.
Individuals are appointed to the Board,
but they must be either a carrier or
shipper, or represent a firm that is a
carrier or shipper. For that purpose a
trade or regional association is neither a
shipper or primary user.
(2) Geographical Representation. The
law specifies ‘‘various’’ regions. For the
purpose of selecting Board members, the
waterways subjected to fuel taxes and
described in Public Law 95–502, as
amended, have been aggregated into six
regions. They are (1) the Upper
Mississippi River and its tributaries
above the mouth of the Ohio; (2) the
Lower Mississippi River and its
tributaries below the mouth of the Ohio
and above Baton Rouge; (3) the Ohio
River and its tributaries; (4) the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway in Louisiana and
Texas; (5) the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway east of New Orleans and
associated fuel-taxed waterways
including the Tennessee-Tombigbee,
plus the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
below Norfolk; and (6) the ColumbiaSnake Rivers System and Upper
Willamette. The intent is that each
region shall be represented by at least
one Board member, with that
