of Countervailing Duty Order and

FR 38543 (July 24, 1996). On July 31,
2007, Valdigrano requested an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on certain
pasta from Italy covering the period
January 1, 2006, through December 31,
2006. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice
of initiation of the review on August 24,
2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 72 FR 48613 (August 24, 2007). On
October 16, 2007, Valdigrano withdrew
its request for review. No other party
requested a review for Valdigrano.
Scope of the Countervailing Duty Order
Imports covered by the order are
shipments of certain non–egg dry pasta

or less, whether or not enriched or
fortified or containing milk or other
optional ingredients such as chopped
vegetables, vegetable purees, milk,
gluten, diastasis, vitamins, coloring and
flavorings, and up to two percent egg
white. The pasta covered by this scope
is typically sold in the retail market, in
fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or
polyethylene or polypropylene bags of
varying dimensions.
Excluded from the scope of the order
are refrigerated, frozen, or canned
pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta,
with the exception of non–egg dry pasta
containing up to two percent egg white.

Department issued a scope ruling that
multicolored pasta, imported in kitchen

finding that, effective October 26, 1998,

withdrew its request for an

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the
availability of an Environmental
Assessment (EA) analyzing the impacts
of conducting research with pelagic
longline (PLL) vessels in portions of the
East Florida Coast (EFC) and Charleston
Bump closed areas. Given the nearly
rebuilt status of north Atlantic
swordfish and recent bycatch reduction
measures implemented throughout the
U.S. PLL fishery, NMFS is proposing to
collect baseline PLL fishery data in the
closed areas to evaluate the
effectiveness of existing bycatch
reduction measures. The EA analyzes
monthly and annual PLL logbook and
pelagic observer program (POP) data on
catch and bycatch rates of all species in
the proposed research area from 1995–
2000 to determine potential impacts of
the research fishery on target and non-
PO 00000

target species. NMFS invites comments
from interested parties on the EA.
DATES: Written comments on the EA
must be received by 5 p.m. on
November 20, 2007.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods:
• Email: PLL.ResearchEA@noaa.gov.
Include in the subject line the following
identifier: I.D. PLL Research EA.
• Mail: Margo Schulze-Haugen, Highly
Migratory Species Management Division

824–5398, or Chris Rilling 301–713–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
proposes to conduct research with a
limited number of vessels (two are
proposed, but backup vessels may be
used if breakdowns occur) in portions of
the EFC and Charleston Bump closed
areas (Figure 1). The latitude and
longitude coordinates of the proposed
research area are provided in Table 1. In
the EFC closed area, the proposed
research area would be north of Fort
Pierce, FL, beginning at 28 degrees
north latitude and proceeding north,
seaward of the axis of the Gulf Stream,
to the northern boundary of the EFC
closed area at 31 degrees north latitude.
In the Charleston Bump, the proposed
research area would be north of 31
degrees north latitude and following the
200 meter isobath ( ∼100 fathom
contour) to the northern and eastern
boundaries of the Charleston Bump
closed area. The two areas are hereafter
referred to collectively as the proposed
research area. NMFS closed the EFC and
Charleston Bump closed areas to PLL
gear in early 2001 to reduce bycatch of
juvenile swordfish, billfish, and other
HMS (65 FR 47214, August 1, 2000).
The Charleston Bump closed area is a
seasonal closure from February through
April every year, whereas the EFC
closed area is closed year-round to PLL
gear. Since that time, the swordfish
stock has been nearly rebuilt
(B=0.99BMSY) and new bycatch
reduction measures have been
implemented throughout the PLL
fishery (e.g., circle hook requirements,
bait requirements, bycatch release gear,
and careful handling and release
workshops). No PLL fishing has been
authorized in the closed areas since
2001, and NMFS has not collected
information on the effectiveness of
current bycatch reduction measures in
closed areas where bycatch rates may be
