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 could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of an
application for an exempted fishing
permit; request for comments.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt
of an application for an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) from the Gulf and
South Atlantic Fisheries Foundation,
Inc. If granted, the EFP would authorize
the applicants, with certain conditions,
to collect and retain limited numbers of
specimens that would otherwise be
prohibited from possession and
retention. This study, to be conducted
in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of
the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
waters, is intended to characterize catch
and bycatch within the southeastern
shrimp fishery.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than 5 p.m., eastern time, on March
8, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on the application by any of the
following methods:
• E-mail:
Steve.Branstetter@noaa.gov. Include in
the subject line of the e-mail comment
the following document identifier:
‘‘FNDlEFP’’.
• Mail: Steve Branstetter, Southeast
Regional Office, NMFS, 263 13th

• Fax: 727–824–5308.
The application and related
documents are available for review
upon written request to any of the above

The EFP is
requested under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and regulations at
50 CFR 600.745(b) concerning exempted
fishing.
The described research is part of two
Cooperative Agreements (No.
NA08NMF4330406 and No. NA09
NMF4540135). The research is intended

to involve commercial fishermen in the
collection of fundamental fisheries
information. Resource collection efforts
support the development and evaluation
of fisheries management and regulatory
options.
The proposed collection for scientific
research involves activities otherwise
prohibited by regulations at 50 CFR 622,
as they affect fish and invertebrates
managed by the Gulf of Mexico and
South Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils (Councils). The EFP covers
these Council-managed species that may
be taken in association with the
commercial shrimp fishery of the
southeast United States. This would
include reef fish, red drum, coastal
migratory pelagics, stone crab, and
lobsters in the Gulf of Mexico, and
snapper-grouper, coastal migratory
pelagics, dolphin and wahoo, and
lobsters in the South Atlantic. The EFP
exempts personnel from the Gulf and
South Atlantic Fisheries Foundation,
Inc. (Foundation) from bag limits, size
limits, quotas, seasonal restrictions, and
gear authorizations, when possessing
Council-managed species as part of
scientific research activities during the
period from March 1, 2010, through July
31, 2011. Specimens would be collected
from Federal waters of the South
Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions.
Sampling would occur during normal
fishing operations of the commercial
penaeid shrimp fishery. Sampling
would occur year-round, collecting as
many as 500 fish during the course of
the sampling. These fish would be
retained only in the event of the need
for subsequent shore-side identification
or as documentation of quality
assurance in the data collection process.
Data collections for this study would
support improved information about the
catch, bycatch, discards, and the ability
to reduce such bycatch for species taken
by the shrimp fishery. These data would
provide insight on a stock’s resilience to
fishing, and would help refine estimates
of long-term biological productivity of
the stocks. Currently, these data are
unavailable, and it is anticipated project
results will yield valuable data within
this fishery.
NMFS finds this application warrants
further consideration. Conditions the
agency will impose on this permit, if it
is indeed granted, include but are not
limited to, a prohibition of conducting
research within marine protected areas,
marine sanctuaries, or special
management zones, without additional
authorization. Additionally, NMFS will
prohibit the possession of Nassau or
goliath grouper, and require any sea
turtles taken incidentally during the
course of fishing or scientific research

activities to be be handled with due care
to prevent injury to live specimens,
observed for activity, and returned to
the water. All Foundation-associated
personnel who conduct onboard
sampling activities have undergone
formal sea turtle handling training
through NMFS, and are considered
NMFS-designated agents while
conducting work under the identified
Cooperative Agreements.
A final decision on issuance of the
EFP will depend on a NMFS review of
public comments received on the
application, consultations with the
affected states, the Gulf of Mexico and
South Atlantic Fishery Management
Councils, and the U.S. Coast Guard, and
a determination that it is consistent with
all applicable laws.

NMFS announces the receipt
of an application for an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) from Mr. Thomas
Haugen. If granted, the EFP would
authorize the applicant, with certain
conditions, to harvest legal-sized fish
with unauthorized fishing gear under
his commercial reef fish permit and
individual fishing quota allocation for
one year when testing his size-selective
fishing gear called an excluding fishing
device (EFD). This study is intended to
provide detailed information and
disposition of reef fish caught by Mr.
Haugen’s size-selective fishing device
and its affect on minimizing bycatch.

The gear proposed to be tested is
similar to a fish trap but has an
adjustable entrance and exit. It would be
tested under an experimental design
developed with input from NMFS’
Southeast Fisheries Science Center. The
gear initially would be fished in
conjunction with traditional fish traps
to determine the size selectivity and
bycatch reduction offered by EFD. If
shown effective, the EFDs would be
used exclusively for the remainder of
the year to test what affect further
modifications to the gear would have on
catch.
Bycatch and regulatory discards are
persistent problems in the Gulf of
Mexico reef fish fishery. This is
particularly important for grouper
caught by the commercial sector as
stated by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council in their
Amendment 32 to the Fishery
Management Plan for the Reef Fish
Resources of the Gulf of Mexico. Even
though grouper are managed under an
IFQ program, potential reductions in the
gag allowable biological catch could
impinge upon the harvest of red grouper
due to gag bycatch. Providing fishermen
with a method to target one species over
another would allow them to maximize
their economic return from fishing
while reducing bycatch and regulatory
discards.
NMFS finds this application warrants
further consideration. Conditions the
agency will impose on this permit, if it
is indeed granted, include but are not
limited to, a prohibition of conducting
research within marine protected areas,
marine sanctuaries, or special
management zones without additional
authorization. Additionally, NMFS
requires any sea turtles taken
incidentally during the course of fishing
or scientific research activities to be
handled with due care to prevent injury
to live specimens, observed for activity,
and returned to the water.
A final decision on issuance of the
EFP will depend on a NMFS review of
public comments received on the
