Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 31 / Thursday, February 15, 2007 / Notices regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. These administrative and new shipper reviews and notice are in accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B), and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 351.214. Dated: February 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ycherry on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES AGENCY: Background On September 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review of Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags (‘‘PRCBs’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period January 26, 2004, through July 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005). On September 13, 2006, the Department published the preliminary results. See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:37 Feb 14, 2007 Jkt 211001 54021 (September 13, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). On January 10, 2007, the Department extended the time period for completion of the final results of this review. See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 1216 (January 10, 2007). The final results are currently due by February 12, 2007. Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department shall make a final determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 120-day period to 180 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the final results of the administrative review of PRCBs from the PRC by February 12, 2007, due to the extra time necessary to give parties an opportunity to comment on the Department’s revised calculations to expected non–market economy wages. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion of the final results of this review to 165 days after publication of the Preliminary Results. However, because February 25, 2007, falls on a Sunday, the final results will be due on February 26, 2007, the next business day. This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: February 7, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of availability. SUMMARY: NMFS announces the availability of a revised list of equipment models that NMFS has approved as meeting the minimum design specifications for the careful release of sea turtles caught in hook and line fisheries. The revised list is available at https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ sfa/hms/Protected%20Resources/ RequiredlGear.pdf. The list is not a list of required gears, but is a list of NMFS approved models of equipment that may be used as options to meet the requirements for gear that must be carried on board vessels participating in the Atlantic pelagic and bottom longline fisheries. Equipment may also be fabricated and used by individuals according to the minimum design specifications. The benefit of using these gears is to maximize safe and efficient gear removal from incidentally captured sea turtles thereby minimizing the potential for serious injury or mortality.

To see the previous list of NMFS approved models for the careful release of sea turtles caught in hook and line fisheries, see 69 FR 40734, July 6, 2004. Revision of the list is necessary due to NMFS approval of the following additional sea turtle bycatch mitigation gear for use in the pelagic and bottom longline fisheries for Atlantic HMS: (1) Robey dehooker (for external hooks only), (2) NOAA/ Bergmann dehooker (with modification) and (3) notch modification of the previously approved Aquatic Release Conservation (ARC) dehooker pigtail curl. Other sea turtle bycatch mitigation gears previously approved remain approved for use in the fishery.
