rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
October 10, 2007. On November 2, 2007,
the Department sent a letter to RPPC
because it had not responded to section
A of the Department’s antidumping
questionnaire by the October 25, 2007,
deadline. In the November, 2, 2007,
letter, the Department instructed RPPC
to notify the Department if it did not
have any U.S. sales or shipments during
the POR, or to submit its section A
questionnaire response by November 9,
2007. The Department did not receive a
reply from RPPC.
On November 30, 2007, the
Department issued a ‘‘No Shipment
Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to confirm that there
were no shipments or entries of raw
pistachios from Iran produced and/or
exported by Ahmadi, Maghsoudi, Nima,
or Razi during the POR of the instant
review. CBP only responds to the
Department’s inquiry when CBP finds
that there have been shipments. CBP did
not respond to the Department’s
inquiry, and no party submitted
comments. See Memorandum to the File
Regarding Ahmadi’s Agricultural
Production, Processing and Trade
Complex; Maghsoudi Farms; Razi
Domghan Agricultural and Animal
Husbandry Co.; and Tehran Negah Nima
Trading Company Inc. No Shipments of
Certain In–Shell Raw Pistachios from
Iran Pursuant to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection Inquiry, from Dena
Crossland, Analyst, through Angelica L.
Mendoza, Program Manager, dated
January 2, 2008.
On January 14, 2008, Cal Pure
withdrew its request for review with
respect to Ahmadi, Maghsoudi, Nima,
Razi, and RPPC.
Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review under this section, in whole or
in part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
Secretary may extend this time limit if
the Secretary decides that it is
reasonable to do so. See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Although Cal Pure’s
withdrew its request for review after 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation, the Department
determines it is reasonable under these
circumstances to accept the request.
Specifically, no party has objected to
Cal Pures’ late withdrawal and the
Department has not expended
significant resources to date in
conducting this review.
Therefore, in response to Cal Pure’s
withdrawal of its request for

administrative reviews pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department
hereby rescinds the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on raw pistachios from Iran for the
period June 1, 2006, through July 31,
2007. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of this
rescission of administrative review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). See
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003). This clarification will apply to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by any of the
companies for which we are rescinding
this review, and for which each no–
shipment respondent did not know its
merchandise would be exported by
another company to the United States.
In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all–others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
This notice 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 the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: February 11, 2008.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

SUMMARY: NMFS requests scallop
research proposals to utilize total
allowable catch (TAC) and Days-at-Sea
(DAS) that have been set aside by the
New England Fishery Management
Council (Council) to fund scallop
research endeavors under the 2008
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
Atlantic Sea Scallop Research Set-Aside
Program (Scallop RSA Program). No
Federal funds are provided for research
under this notification. Rather, the
Scallop RSA Program funds scallop
research and compensates participating
vessels through the sale of scallops
harvested under the research set-aside
quota. Priority will be given to research
proposals that address the following
research priorities as identified by
NMFS and the Council: Intensive
industry-based access area surveys;
Other surveys, including areas not
surveyed by the annual NMFS survey;
Scallop biology; Identification and
evaluation of methods to reduce
groundfish bycatch; Identification and
evaluation of methods to reduce habitat
impacts; Habitat characterization
research; Sea turtle/scallop fishery
interaction research; Scallop stock
assessment and population dynamics
research; Area management research;
and Research that will facilitate the
transition of the NFMS Northeast
scallop dredge survey.
Full proposals must be received

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Framework 19 to the Fishery
Management Plan (FMP), establishes
scallop fishery management measures
for the 2008 and 2009 fishing years. As
part of the management measures,
Framework 19 allows NMFS to utilize
total allowable catch (TAC) and Days-atSea (DAS) to fund scallop research
endeavors under the 2008 Atlantic Sea
Scallop Research Set-Aside Program
(Scallop RSA Program). No Federal
funds are provided for research under
this notification. Rather, the Scallop
RSA Program funds scallop research
and compensates participating vessels
through the sale of scallops harvested
under the research set-aside quota.
Priority will be given to research
proposals that address the following
research priorities as identified by
NMFS and the Council: (1) Intensive
industry-based access area surveys; (2)
Other surveys, including areas not
surveyed by the annual NMFS survey;
(3) Scallop biology; (4) Identification
and evaluation of methods to reduce
groundfish bycatch; (5) Identification
and evaluation of methods to reduce
habitat impacts; (6) Habitat
characterization research; (7) Sea turtle/
scallop fishery interaction research; (8)
Scallop stock assessment and
population dynamics research; (9) Area
management research; and (10) Research
that will facilitate the transition of the
NFMS Northeast scallop dredge survey.
Framework 19 landings per unit effort
and economic impact analyses were
used to establish a value on the
proposed DAS and TAC set-asides.
Framework 19 projects the average price
per pound of scallops in the 2008
fishing year to be between $7.70 and
$8.47. The average daily open area catch
rate for the 2008 scallop fishing year
(March 1, 2008 – February 28, 2009) is
projected to be 1,176 lb (533 kg) per
DAS. Using the more conservative price
estimate of $7.70, the DAS and TAC set
aside values as currently proposed by
Framework 19 are estimated as follows:
(1) The DAS set-aside for the open
fishing areas is 235 DAS with a value of
$2,127,972; (2) the research TAC setaside for the Nantucket Lightship
Closed Area (NLCA) would be 110,000
lb (50 metric tons (mt)), with a value of
$847,000; and (3) the research TAC setaside from the Elephant Trunk Scallop
Access Area (ETAA) would be 440,000
lb (200 mt), with a value of $3,388,000.
Thus, for fishing year 2008, the total
value of the set-asides available for
scallop-related research is
approximately $6,362,972 (33 percent
