Final Results of Review: Partial
Revocation of Antidumping Duty
Finding
The affirmative statement of no
interest by the petitioner concerning
certain polychloroprene rubber from
Japan, as described herein, constitutes
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant revocation of the AD finding in
part. Therefore, the Department is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Under the authorization of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management
and Conservation Act, National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) would like to
renew its requirement that operators of
fishing tournaments involving Highly
Migratory Species (HMS), specifically
Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish, and
sharks, provide advance identification
of the tournament date(s), location,
operator, and target species. Also, after
the tournament, provide information on
the HMS that are caught, whether they
were kept or released, the length and
weight of the fish, and other
information. Most of the data required
for post-tournament reporting are
already collected in the course of
routine tournament operations. The data
collected are needed by NMFS to
estimate the total annual catch of these
species and to evaluate the impact of
tournament fishing in relation to other
types of fishing.
II. Method of Collection
Completed paper forms are returned
to NMFS, at an address or FAX number
designated by NMFS on the forms.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0323.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
300.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
minutes for a registration form; and 20
minutes for a tournament summary
report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 83.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $161.20 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)

ACTION: Receipt of applications for
scientific research permits; request for
comments.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has received applications for
scientific research from Natural
Resource Scientists, Incorporated (NRS),
in Red Bluff, CA (14077), and from the
U.S. Geological Services (USGS) in
Sacramento, CA (14150). These permits
would affect the federally endangered
Sacramento River winter-run Chinook
salmon and the threatened Central
Valley spring-run Chinook salmon
Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs),
the federally threatened Central Valley
steelhead Distinct Population Segment
(DPS), and the federally threatened
southern Distinct Population of North
American green sturgeon (southern DPS
of green sturgeon). This document
serves to notify the public of the
availability of the permit applications
for review and comment.
DATES: Written comments on the permit
applications must be received no later
than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on
January 20, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Comments submitted by email must be sent to the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
Issuance of permits and permit
modifications, as required by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531 1543) (ESA), is based on a
finding that such permits/modifications:
(1) are applied for in good faith; (2)
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species which are the
subject of the permits; and (3) are
consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA. Authority to take listed species is
subject to conditions set forth in the
permits. Permits and modifications are
issued in accordance with and are
subject to the ESA and NMFS
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226).
Those individuals requesting a
hearing on an application listed in this
notice should set out the specific
reasons why a hearing on that
application would be appropriate (see
ADDRESSES). The holding of such a
hearing is at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA. All statements and opinions
contained in the permit action
summaries are those of the applicant
and do not necessarily reflect the views
of NMFS.
Species Covered in This Notice
This notice is relevant to federallylisted endangered Sacramento River
winter-run Chinook salmon
(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) ESU,
threatened Central Valley spring-run
Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) ESU,
threatened Central Valley steelhead (O.
mykiss) DPS, threatened Central
California Coast steelhead (O. mykiss),
and threatened southern DPS of North
American green sturgeon (Acipenser
medirostris).
Applications Received
NRS requests a 2–year permit (14077)
for take of juvenile Sacramento River
winter-run Chinook salmon, Central
Valley spring-run Chinook salmon,
Central Valley steelhead, and southern
DPS of green sturgeon to conduct sitespecific research at three irrigation
diversion sites off the Sacramento River,
California. This research is part of an
on-going investigation into developing
criteria for prioritizing fish screening
projects, and will correlate fish

entrainment with the physical,
hydraulic, and habitat variables at each
diversion site. All fish will be identified
as to species/race, enumerated,
measured for length, and placed back
into the canals; all entrained live fish
will be returned to the river. Sampling
at each diversion site will be performed
daily from April 1 through October 31,
2009, and April 1 through October 31,
2010. NRS requests authorization for an
estimated annual non-lethal take of
1,466 juvenile Sacramento River winterrun Chinook salmon, 1,307 Central
Valley juvenile spring-run Chinook
salmon, and 155 Central Valley juvenile
steelhead, for a total of 2,928 salmonids
per year. NRS estimates the annual nonlethal take of 184 juvenile southern DPS
of green sturgeon. Estimates of take for
the two year study are 5,856 salmonids
and 368 green sturgeon.
USGS, in co-sponsorship with the
California Department of Water
Resources, California Bay-Delta
Authority, and the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, requests a 5–year permit
(14150) for take of juvenile Sacramento
River winter-run Chinook salmon and
Central Valley spring-run Chinook
salmon associated with researching the
mechanisms that control out-migration
pathways and survival of endangered
juvenile salmon in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta, California (Delta) from
the interaction between seasonal
timescale variations in upstream
hydrology and strong tidal forcing
effects from water management actions.
The goals of the study are two-fold: (1)
to determine the factors (channel
geometry, velocity structure, and
behavior) that control entrainment in
the Delta Cross Channel and Georgiana
Slough; and (2) to determine routes and
survival of out-migrating juvenile
salmon throughout the north, west and
centralDelta. The primary source of
study fish will be 5500 Central Valley
late-fall subyearling Chinook salmon (O.
tshawytscha) from Coleman National
Fish Hatchery (CNFH). To investigate
differences of behavioral response
between hatchery and wild fish, an
admixture of 250 juvenile winter-,
spring-, fall- and late fall-run Chinook
salmon will be collected from
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or
California Department of Fish and Game
rotary screw trap monitoring efforts in
the Sacramento River at river mile (RM)
242 and RM 205 and transported
directly to a shoreline research location
or the California-Nevada Fish Health
Center at the CNFH complex and held
prior to being transported to shoreline
research locations for surgical insertion
of acoustic transmitters; a tissue sample
will be collected from wild juvenile
