Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 47 / Thursday, March 12, 2009 / Notices
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement may
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). Timely
written notification of the return/
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.
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: March 5, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the 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 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 respondent
Patagonik S.A.’s cost of production and
sales of subject merchandise.
Consequently, and in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is
fully extending the time limit for
completion of the final results of this
administrative review by 60 days, to
June 28, 2009. As this date falls on a
Sunday, the final results are due June
29, 2009. See Notice of Clarification:
Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’
Rule for Administrative Determination
Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May

Notice of Decision to Expand Scope of
the Environmental Impact Statement
Analyzing Mitchell Act Funding and
Operation of Columbia River
Hatcheries
AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
SUMMARY: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces its
decision to expand the scope of the
Mitchell Act Hatchery Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to include
analysis of the environmental effects of
hatchery programs in a way that will
inform future NMFS decisions about
Endangered Species Act compliance for
all Columbia River hatchery programs.
Our previous notice of intent to prepare
an EIS on the funding and operation of
Columbia River hatcheries under the
Mitchell Act was published on
September 3, 2004. We are opening a
30–day comment period on our decision
to expand the scope.
DATES: Written or electronic comments
from all interested parties are
encouraged and must be received no
later than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
April 13, 2009.
ADDRESSES: All comments concerning
the preparation of the EIS and NEPA
process should be addressed to: Patty
Dornbusch, NMFS, 1201 N.E. Lloyd
Blvd., Suite 1100, Portland, OR 97232.
Comments may also be submitted via
fax (503) 872–2737 Attn: Mitchell Act
Hatchery EIS, or by electronic mail to
MitchellActEIS.nwr@noaa.gov with a
subject line containing the document
identifier: ‘‘Mitchell Act Hatchery EIS.’’

NMFS announced its intent to prepare

an EIS pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and to conduct
public scoping related to the allocation
and distribution of Mitchell Act funds
for Columbia River hatchery operations.
A 90–day public comment period to
seek input on the scope of the required
NEPA analysis, including the range of
reasonable alternatives and the
associated impacts on resources, was
open from September 3, 2004, to
December 2, 2004.
During the original scoping process, it
became clear that the interrelationship
between hatchery production funded
under the Mitchell Act and other
hatchery production in the Columbia
River basin would need to be
considered. Not all hatchery programs
in the Columbia River basin are funded
under the Mitchell Act; however,
decisions about salmon and steelhead
produced with Mitchell Act funds (e.g.,
the populations chosen for artificial
production, the size of those production
programs, location) are coordinated and
interrelated with decisions about the
remainder of natural and artificial
production in the Columbia River basin
(i.e., non-Mitchell Act-funded
production). Because of this
interrelationship, NMFS determined
that the EIS must assess artificial
production throughout the entire basin,
regardless of the hatchery funding
source, in order to properly assess all
environmental effects that occur in the
basin related to hatchery production.
Consequently, NMFS anticipates using
information generated by this EIS to
inform its determinations under
Endangered Species Act (ESA) sections
4(d), 7, 10(a)(1)(A), and 10(a)(1)(B) for
both Mitchell Act and non-Mitchell Act
hatchery programs. This EIS will not
result in decisions on ESA compliance.
Should hatchery managers propose to
operate non-Mitchell Act-funded
facilities in a manner that is within the
scope of the environmental review in
this EIS, NMFS’ future ESA
determinations on those production
programs may be informed by the
analysis within this EIS. While the
expanded scope will analyze nonMitchell Act-funded programs to inform
ESA decisions, the Record of Decision
for this EIS will not address decisions
on ESA compliance. Further, NMFS
believes that conducting a broad review
of the environmental effects from all
Columbia River basin hatchery
programs will provide a comprehensive
approach to analyzing cumulative
effects within the basin as a result of
Mitchell Act funding.

Request for Comments
NMFS solicits written comments from
the public. We request that the
comments be as specific as possible
with regard to our expansion of the
scope of the EIS to include informing
NMFS’ future ESA determinations on
non-Mitchell Act programs. All
comments and materials received,
including names and addresses, will
become part of the administrative record
and may be released to the public. The
environmental review of this project
will be conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500–
1508), other applicable Federal laws and
regulations, and applicable policies and
procedures. This notice is being
furnished in accordance with 40 CFR
1501.7 of NEPA to obtain suggestions
and information from other agencies
and the public on the scope of issues
and alternatives to be addressed in the
EIS.
