I. Abstract
The 1990 reauthorization of the
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
authorized an awards program to
‘‘implement a program to promote
excellence in coastal zone management
by identifying and acknowledging
outstanding accomplishments in the
field.’’ As authorized in Section 314 of
the CZMA, the Walter B. Jones Awards
recognize three categories of excellence:
Coastal Steward of the Year, Excellence
in Local Government, and Excellence in
Coastal and Marine Graduate Study. The
CZMA authorizes NOAA to conduct
public ceremonies to acknowledge such
awards, which allows NOAA to fund
invitational travel and purchase awards
for the Jones Awards.
In conjunction with the Walter B.
Jones Awards, NOAA instituted several
additional categories of awards, to
recognize additional contributions to
ocean and coastal resource management,
including Volunteer of the Year, Nongovernmental Organization of the Year,
Excellence in Promoting Cultural and
Ethnic Diversity (in honor of Secretary
Ronald Brown), Excellence in Business
Leadership, and the Susan Snow Cotter
Award for Excellence in Ocean and
Coastal Resource (NOAA re-named this
award in honor of Susan Snow Cotter in
2007).
As part of conducting the awards
program, NOAA will distribute a ‘‘Call
for Nominations’’ to representatives
from Federal, state, local and nongovernmental organizations and
Members of Congress that work in, are
knowledgeable of or benefit from, ocean
and coastal resource management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has
the responsibility for the conservation
and management of marine fishery
resources. Much of this responsibility
has been delegated to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)/National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Under this stewardship role, the
Secretary was given certain regulatory
authorities to ensure the most beneficial
uses of these resources. One of the
regulatory steps taken to carry out the
conservation and management
objectives is to collect data from users
of the resource. Thus, as regional
Fishery Management Councils develop
specific Fishery Management Plans
(FMP), the Secretary has promulgated
rules for the issuance and use of a vessel
Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
system, a Vessel Monitoring System
(VMS) and vessel logbooks to obtain
fishery-dependent data to monitor,
evaluate, and enforce fishery
regulations.
Fishing vessels permitted to
participate in federally-permitted
fisheries in the Northeast are required to
submit logbooks containing catch and
effort information, about their fishing
trips. Participants in the herring, tilefish
and red crab fisheries are also required
to make weekly reports on their catch
through IVR. In addition, permitted
vessels that catch halibut are asked to
voluntarily provide additional
information on the estimated size of the
fish and the time of day caught. The
information submitted is needed for the
management of the fisheries.
NE multispecies permit holders
participating in the special access
programs (SAP), the Category B (regular)
Days-at-Sea (DAS) program, and fishing
in the United States/Canada Resource
Sharing Understanding Area are
required to use VMS to electronically

all trips. The submitted information is
necessary to monitor groundfish stocks
of concern and prevent overfishing.

Most information is submitted on
paper forms, although electronic means
may be arranged. In the herring, tilefish
and red crab fisheries vessel owners or
operators must provide weekly catch
information to an IVR system. In the NE
Multispecies fishery, vessel owners or
operators must declare catch and
discards of groundfish species of
concern through VMS for all trips.

notified the Department of its
affirmative determinations of material
injury to a U.S. industry. See Citric Acid
from Canada and China (Investigation
Nos. 701–TA–456 and 731–TA–1151–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 13, 2009, the Department
published its affirmative final
determinations of sales at less-than-fairvalue in the antidumping duty
investigations of citric acid from Canada
and the PRC. See Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Citric Acid and Certain
Citrate Salts from Canada, 74 FR 16843
(April 13, 2009); and Citric Acid and
Certain Citrate Salts from the People’s
Republic of China: Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR
16838 (April 13, 2009).
On May 22, 2009, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determinations
pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of citric acid
from Canada and the PRC. See section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders includes all
grades and granulation sizes of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate in their unblended forms,
whether dry or in solution, and
regardless of packaging type. The scope
also includes blends of citric acid,
sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as
well as blends with other ingredients,
such as sugar, where the unblended
form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate,
and potassium citrate constitute 40
percent or more, by weight, of the blend.
The scope of these orders also includes
all forms of crude calcium citrate,
including dicalcium citrate
monohydrate, and tricalcium citrate
tetrahydrate, which are intermediate
products in the production of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate. The scope of these orders does
not include calcium citrate that satisfies
the standards set forth in the United
States Pharmacopeia and has been
mixed with a functional excipient, such
as dextrose or starch, where the
excipient constitutes at least 2 percent,
by weight, of the product. The scope of
these orders includes the hydrous and
anhydrous forms of citric acid, the
dihydrate and anhydrous forms of
sodium citrate, otherwise known as
citric acid sodium salt, and the
monohydrate and monopotassium forms
of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also
includes both trisodium citrate and
monosodium citrate, which are also
known as citric acid trisodium salt and
citric acid monosodium salt,
respectively. Citric acid and sodium
citrate are classifiable under
2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), respectively.
Potassium citrate and crude calcium
citrate are classifiable under
2918.15.5000 and 3824.90.9290 of the
HTSUS, respectively. Blends that
include citric acid, sodium citrate, and
potassium citrate are classifiable under
3824.90.9290 of the HTSUS. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
