SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Cooperative Oxford Laboratory
(COL) in Oxford, Maryland was
established in 1960 and has operated
under a cooperative agreement between
NOAA and the Maryland Department of
Natural Resources (MDNR) for the last
12 years. Research conducted by COL
scientists has supported efforts to
sustain historic fisheries along the
Atlantic coast of the United States for
nearly 50 years. As COL’s 50th
anniversary approaches, staff at the
National Centers of Coastal Ocean
Science will undertake a cultural
history project to document and
preserve the rich and unique history of
the COL, its importance to the local
seafood industry, and the cultural
memory of the ‘‘oyster years.’’ In
VerDate Nov<24>2008

addition to collecting historical
documents, photographs and artifacts,
the researchers will conduct 25 to 30
videotaped oral history interviews with
key members from the local community
who have historic knowledge of COL
and local, coastal resources. This
includes scientists, resource managers,
watermen, business owners, and
knowledgeable members of the general
community. The goal of the oral history
project is to collect stories about the
successes and challenges related to
preserving the local seafood industry,
and to document the rich history and
local heritage tied to the COL. These
videotaped oral histories will be
archived with local, regional, and
national organizations. In addition, the
researchers will edit clips from the
interviews to create short
documentaries, which will be made
available to local, regional, and national
museums and other entities.
II. Method of Collection
Researchers will conduct videotaped,
unstructured oral history interviews.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 30
(for the entire project).
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 30 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 30, 2008, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of antidumping and
countervailing duty administrative
reviews and requests for revocation in
part for certain frozen fish fillets from
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
covering the period August 1, 2007,
through July 31, 2008. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 56795,
(September 30, 2008). The preliminary
results are currently due on May 3,
2009.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1) require the
Department to issue the preliminary
results in an administrative review of an
antidumping duty order 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the order for which the administrative
review was requested. The Department
may, however, extend the deadline for
completion of the preliminary results of
an administrative review to 365 days if
it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
E:\FR\FM\23APN1.SGM
23APN1
18550
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 77 / Thursday, April 23, 2009 / Notices
foregoing time period. See section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(h)(2).
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results within this time limit. The
Department is extending the deadline
because it intends to provide parties
additional time to submit surrogate
value data and thus will require
additional time to analyze these data.
Furthermore, the Department recently
rescinded a changed circumstance
review for Vinh Hoan Co., Ltd. because
it determined that Vinh Hoan’s
circumstances would be best addressed
in the context of this administrative
review. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Changed Circumstances Review, 74 FR
7659 (February 19, 2009). The
Department requires additional time to
address these circumstances in this
review. We are therefore extending the
time for the completion of the
preliminary results of this review by 120
days to August 31, 2009.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: April 16, 2009.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the
public comment period for an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) application from
the Best Use Cooperative (BUC). If
granted, this permit would allow three
BUC vessels to remove halibut from a
codend on the deck, and release those
fish back to the water after determining
the physical condition of the halibut
with the International Pacific Halibut
Commission method for predicting
halibut mortality. The EFP would allow

operators of BUC non–pelagic trawl
vessels to study methods for reducing
halibut mortality in trawl fisheries by
evaluating various fishing and handling
practices. This activity has the potential
to promote the objectives of the
Magnuson–Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act by
assessing techniques for reducing
halibut discard mortality in non–pelagic
trawl fisheries.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by May 8, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
manages the domestic groundfish
fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area (BSAI) under
the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the BSAI (FMP), which
the Council prepared under the
Magnuson–Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act.
Regulations governing the groundfish
fisheries of the BSAI appear at 50 CFR
parts 600 and 679. The FMP and the
implementing regulations at
§ 600.745(b) and § 679.6 allow the
NMFS Regional Administrator to
authorize, for limited experimental
purposes, fishing that would otherwise
be prohibited. Procedures for issuing
EFPs are contained in the implementing
regulations.
The International Pacific Halibut
Commission (IPHC) and NMFS manage
fishing for Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus
stenolepis) through regulations

established under the authority of the
Convention between the United States
and Canada for the Preservation of the
Halibut Fishery of the Northern Pacific
Ocean and Bering Sea (Convention) and
the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982
(Halibut Act). The IPHC promulgates
regulations pursuant to the Convention.
The IPHC’s regulations are subject to
approval by the Secretary of State with
concurrence from the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary).
On March 23, 2009, NMFS published
a notice for receipt of an application
from the Best Use Cooperative (BUC) for
an EFP that evaluates handling methods
to improve discard survival of
incidentally caught halibut (74 FR
12113). Review of the EFP application
was included on the published agenda
for the April 2009 North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) meeting.
The Council’s Scientific and Statistical
Committee (SSC) and the Advisory
Panel (AP) reviewed the application,
provided opportunity for public
comment, and recommended the
Council approve issuance of the EFP.
After hearing the recommendations of
the SSC and AP, and not expressing
disagreement with those
recommendations, the Council did not
further consider the EFP application
and provided no additional method of
public testimony on this item at the
Council meeting. Regulations at
§ 600.745(b)(3) requires NMFS to
provide opportunity for public comment
on an EFP application either through a
Federal Register notice and/or during a
Council meeting. Because NMFS has
determined that this application for an
EFP warrants further consideration and
because the public was not provided the
opportunity to provide public comment
to the Council at its April 2009 meeting,
NMFS is providing this additional
opportunity for public review and
comment on this EFP application.
Background
Regulations implemented by the IPHC
allow Pacific halibut to be commercially
harvested by the directed North Pacific
longline fishery only. Halibut caught
incidentally in other fisheries, such as
non–pelagic trawl fisheries, must be
sampled by observers and returned to
the ocean as soon as possible.
Regulations implementing the FMP
establish annual halibut bycatch
mortality limits, also referred to as
halibut prohibited species catch (PSC)
limit, for the groundfish fisheries.
Fisheries close when they reach their
seasonal or annual halibut PSC limit
even if the allowable catch of
groundfish is not yet caught. In the case
of the Bering Sea flatfish fishery,

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

preliminary results in an administrative review of an antidumping duty
