In its January 31, 2008, submission, myonic provided information to demonstrate that myonic is the successor–in-interest to MKL. Myonic submitted a notarized copy of the minutes from the December 11, 2001, meeting of myonic’s shareholders memorializing the name change from MKL to myonic. See exhibit D of myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. Myonic also submitted its Articles of Association demonstrating that myonic continued to produce and market subject merchandise after the name change. See exhibit E of myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. Further, myonic provided a letter it sent to its customers informing them of the name change and that the company’s production of subject merchandise would continue. See exhibit F of myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. Myonic also submitted its June 19, 2006, Articles of Association demonstrating that on June 1, 2006, all stock of myonic was purchased by myonic Holding GmbH. See exhibit G of myonic’s January 31, 2008, submission. Additional information in myonic’s March 24, 2008, and April 8, 2008, submissions shows that myonic’s management, production facilities, suppliers, and customer base are consistent with those of MKL. As such, we conclude that myonic’s request for a changed–circumstances review demonstrates that no major changes have occurred with respect to MKL’s management, production facilities, suppliers, or customer base as a result of MKL’s name change to myonic or the purchase of all of myonic’s stock by myonic Holding GmbH. Therefore, we preliminarily find that myonic is the successor–in-interest to MKL and, as such, is entitled to MKL’s cash–deposit rate with respect to entries of subject merchandise. Public Comment Any interested party may request a hearing within 14 days of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Any hearing, if requested, will be held 28 days after the date of publication of this notice or the first working day thereafter. Interested parties may submit case briefs and/or written comments not later than 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written comments, which must be limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments, may be filed not later than 5 days after the deadline for submitting the case briefs. See 19 CFR VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:00 May 06, 2008 Jkt 214001 351.309(d). Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this changed– circumstances review are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument. Parties should also submit an electronic version of their case and rebuttal briefs. Consistent with 19 CFR 351.216(e), we will issue the final results of this changed–circumstances review no later than 270 days after the date on which this review was initiated or within 45 days of publication of these preliminary results if all parties to the proceeding agree to our preliminary finding. We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3). Dated: May 1, 2008. David M.

ACTION: Stock Status Determinations; Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Based on the 2007 small coastal sharks (SCS) stock assessment, NMFS is declaring blacknose sharks to be overfished with overfishing occurring. As such, NMFS announces its intent to prepare an EIS under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This EIS would assess the potential effects on the human environment of the proposed action taken to rebuild blacknose sharks and prevent overfishing per the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). The EIS would amend the 2006 Consolidated Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and examine management alternatives available to rebuild blacknose sharks. NMFS is requesting comments on a range of commercial and recreational management measures in both directed and incidental fisheries including, but not limited to, quota levels, regional and seasonal quotas, retention limits, minimum sizes, and time/area closures. DATES: Comments on this action must be received no later than 5 p.m., local time, on August 5, 2008.
