SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
702 of the Trade Agreements Act of
1979 (as amended) (‘‘the Act’’) requires
the Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) to determine, in
consultation with the Secretary of
Agriculture, whether any foreign
government is providing a subsidy with
respect to any article of cheese subject
to an in–quota rate of duty, as defined
in section 702(h) of the Act, and to
publish an annual list and quarterly
updates of the type and amount of those
subsidies. We hereby provide the
Department’s quarterly update of
subsidies on articles of cheese that were
imported during the period July 1, 2007
through September 30, 2007.
The Department has developed, in
consultation with the Secretary of
Agriculture, information on subsidies
(as defined in section 702(h) of the Act)
being provided either directly or
indirectly by foreign governments on
articles of cheese subject to an in–quota
rate of duty. The appendix to this notice
lists the country, the subsidy program or
programs, and the gross and net
amounts of each subsidy for which
information is currently available. The
Department will incorporate additional
programs which are found to constitute
subsidies, and additional information
on the subsidy programs listed, as the
information is developed.
The Department encourages any
person having information on foreign
government subsidy programs which
benefit articles of cheese subject to an
in–quota rate of duty to submit such
information in writing to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Ave., NW,
Washington, D.C. 20230.This
determination and notice are in
accordance with section 702(a) of the
Act.

and material injury to an industry in the

Background
The Department initiated and the ITC
instituted sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty order on LEU from
France, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 72 FR 100 (January 3, 2007)
(Notice of Initiation).
As a result of its review, the
Department found that a revocation of
the antidumping duty order would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and therefore
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins likely to prevail were the order
to be revoked. See Final Results of

Enriched Uranium from France, 72 FR
26603 (May 10, 2007).
On December 13, 2007, the ITC
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that a revocation of the
antidumping duty order on LEU from
France would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time: See Low Enriched Uranium from
France; 72 FR 71954 (December 19,
2007), and USITC Publication 3967
(December 2007), (Inv. No. 731–TA–
909) (Review).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
all low enriched uranium (LEU). LEU is
enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6)
with a U235 product assay of less than
20 percent that has not been converted
into another chemical form, such as
UO2, or fabricated into nuclear fuel
assemblies, regardless of the means by
which the LEU is produced (including
LEU produced through the downblending of highly enriched uranium).
Certain merchandise is outside the
scope of this order. Specifically, this
order does not cover enriched uranium
hexafluoride with a U235 assay of 20
percent or greater, also known as highly
enriched uranium. In addition,
fabricated LEU is not covered by the
scope of this order. For purposes of this
order, fabricated uranium is defined as
enriched uranium dioxide (UO2),
whether or not contained in nuclear fuel
rods or assemblies. Natural uranium
concentrates (U3O8) with a U235
concentration of no greater than 0.711
percent and natural uranium
concentrates converted into uranium
hexafluoride with a U235 concentration
of no greater than 0.711 percent are not
covered by the scope of this order.
Also excluded from this order is LEU
owned by a foreign utility end-user and
imported into the United States by or for
such end-user solely for purposes of
conversion by a U.S. fabricator into
uranium dioxide (UO2) and/or
fabrication into fuel assemblies so long
as the uranium dioxide and/or fuel
assemblies deemed to incorporate such
imported LEU (i) remain in the
possession and control of the U.S.
fabricator, the foreign end-user, or their
designed transporter(s) while in U.S.
customs territory, and (ii) are reexported within eighteen (18) months of
entry of the LEU for consumption by the
end-user in a nuclear reactor outside the
United States. Such entries must be
accompanied by the certifications of the
importer and end-user.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:29 Jan 02, 2008
Jkt 214001
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) at subheading
2844.20.0020. Subject merchandise may
also enter under 2844.20.0030,
2844.20.0050, and 2844.40.00. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Continuation of Order
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that a
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty order on LEU from
France. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect
antidumping duty cash deposits at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of this order will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of
the Act, the Department intends to
initiate the next five-year review of this
order no later than November 2012.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the

vessels. Given the nearly rebuilt status
of north Atlantic swordfish (B =
0.99BMSY) and bycatch reduction
measures that were implemented
throughout the U.S. PLL fishery in 2004,
NMFS is authorizing the collection of
baseline PLL fishery data in the closed
areas to evaluate the effectiveness of
existing bycatch reduction measures.
The Final 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 programfishery on target and
non-target species. The Final EA
includes additional analyses of catch
rates for all species based on 18/0 circle
hooks. NMFS will require the use of 18/
0 non-offset circle hooks in the research
project to minimize bycatch and bycatch
mortality and 100 percent observer
coverage to ensure scientific rigor.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By issuing
the EFP, NMFS authorizes a limited
number of vessels (three are authorized,
but only two vessels will fish at any
given time and one vessel is designated
as a backup vessels if breakdowns
occur) to conduct research 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° N. lat. In the
Charleston Bump, the proposed research
area would be north of 31 degrees north
latitude and following the 200–meter
isobath (approximately 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
Highly Migratory Species (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, and new bycatch reduction
measures have been implemented
throughout the PLL fishery (e.g., circle

Enriched Uranium from France, 72 FR 26603 (May 10, 2007).
On December 13, 2007, the ITC determined, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that a revocation of the antidumping duty order on
LEU from France would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time: See Low Enriched Uranium from France; 72 FR 71954
