Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 9 / Monday, January 14, 2008 / Notices (the Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 43600 (August 6, 2007). On September 4, 2007, we published a notice in the Federal Register partially extending the due date of the final results until January 10, 2008. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Mexico: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 50663 (September 4, 2007). Second Extension of Time Limits for Final Results rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of an administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results were published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the final results up to 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary results. The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this review within the original time frame due to additional analysis that must be performed with respect to certain adjustments made to the cost of production. Furthermore, our post– preliminary results cost verification forced an extension of the briefing schedule for parties’ comments and rebuttals. Consequently, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is further extending the time period for issuing the final results of review to 180 days after the publication of the preliminary results. Therefore, the final results will be due no later than February 2, 2008.1 This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act. Dated: January 8, 2008. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. AGENCY: SUMMARY: NMFS has completed a draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) on the Issuance of Endangered Species Act Permits for Scientific Research on Endangered and Threatened Sea Turtles in the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. DATES: Written, telefaxed, or e-mail comments must be received on or before February 13, 2008. ADDRESSES: The PEA is available for review upon written request or by appointment in the following office: Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room 13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910; phone (301)713–2289; fax (301)427–2521; https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/ review.htm. Written comments should be mailed to the Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division, F/PR1, at the above address. Comments may also be submitted by facsimile at (301)427–2521, provided the facsimile is confirmed by hard copy submitted by mail and postmarked no later than the closing date of the comment period. Comments may also be submitted by e-mail. The mailbox address for providing e-mail comments is NMFS.Pr1Comments@noaa.gov. Include in the subject line of the e-mail comment the following document identifier: Sea Turtle Programmatic EA. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Opay, Amy Hapeman, or Kate Swails, (301)713–2289. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS has authority, delegated from the Secretary of Commerce, to issue permits for research and enhancement activities under Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Permits to take endangered or threatened non-marine mammal species are governed by the ESA and NMFS implementing regulations at 50 CFR 222.301–309. Where coordination with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2223 required regarding sea turtles, permits are subject to NMFS regulatory criteria at 50 CFR 222.309. NMFS is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 40 CFR 1508.27 to consider the significance of the effects of authorizing research activities on listed species of sea turtles (proposed action). The action being considered in this PEA was analyzed as a whole, by effects on affected interests, and by short- and long-term effects. Additionally, the severity of the impacts was analyzed. NMFS is proposing to more efficently complete its review and issuance process for ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) scientific research permits and permit modifications on sea turtle species in the North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. To date, NMFS analyzes each proposed permit action through separate EAs, one for each permit application. The preferred alternative would allow NMFS to more efficently analyze the potential collective environmental impact of research activities over the next five years. Dated: January 8, 2008. P.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions have implemented the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR) process, a multi-step method for determining the status of fish stocks in the Southeast Region. SEDAR includes three workshops: (1) Data Workshop, (2) Stock Assessment Workshop and (3) Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of the Stock Assessment Workshop is a stock assessment report which describes the fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer reviewed at the Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is a Consensus Summary documenting Panel opinions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the stock assessment and input data. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Participants include data collectors and database managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and NGO’s; International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies. rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Jan 11, 2008 Jkt 214001 May 5–9, 2008; SEDAR 16 Assessment Workshop May 5, 2008: 1 p.m. - 8 p.m.; May 6–8, 2008: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.; May 9, 2008: 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. Using datasets provided by the Data Workshop, participants will develop population models to evaluate stock status, estimate population benchmarks and Sustainable Fisheries Act criteria, and project future conditions.
