NSC withdrew its request before the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot– rolled flat–rolled carbon–quality steel products from Japan for the period discussed. Therefore, in response to NSC’s withdrawal of its request for review, and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department rescinds the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot– rolled flat–rolled carbon–quality steel products from Japan for the period June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Since NSC’s review is being rescinded, the antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CPB 15 days after publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a 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 could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protection orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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. This notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) has scheduled nine scoping hearings on Spiny Lobster Amendment 10, Generic ACL/AM Amendment, and Amendments 18 and 20 to the Coastal Migratory Pelagics (CMP) Fishery Management Plan (FMP). In 2006 the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act was reauthorized and included a number of changes to improve conservation of managed fishery resources. The goals require that conservation and PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 management prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuous basis optimum yield for each fishery in the United States. Therefore included in these changes are requirements for the Regional Councils to establish annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures (AMs). Accountability measures are management controls to prevent the ACLs from being exceeded and to correct by either in-season or post-season monitoring if they occur. These measures must be implemented by 2010 for stocks experiencing overfishing and by 2011 for all others. The Gulf Council and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council are jointly developing two separate amendments to address the ACLs and AMs; the Spiny Lobster Amendment 10 and the CMP Amendments 18 and 20. These two joint amendments address several species within the jointly management FMP. For example, the Spiny Lobster Amendment 10 addresses ACLs and AMs for the following species: Caribbean spiny lobster, smoothtail spiny lobster, spotted spiny lobster, Spanish slipper lobster, and ridged slipper lobster. Whereas, the joint CMP FMP Amendments 18 and 20 address ACLs and AMs for the following species: king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia. The Generic ACL/ AM Amendment addresses all other federally managed species in the Gulf of Mexico. There are several questions and issues in each amendment for discussion. The public is encouraged to attend and provide comments on these three amendments.
