I. Abstract
The Northeast Regional Ocean
Council (NROC) is a State and Federal
partnership with the goal of engaging in
regional protection and balanced use of
ocean and coastal resources. NROC’s
coordinated approach reaches across
State boundaries to find and implement
solutions to the region’s most pressing
ocean and coastal issues. NROC’s
membership includes New England
coastal State agencies and Federal
agencies.
The work of the Council focuses
primarily on coastal hazards resilience
and ocean energy planning and
management. NROC’s members come
from varied expertise and work on these
issues in many capacities. A social
network analysis will serve to identify
the network of people working on
NROC’s key issues, both within and
outside of the organization.
NROC members will be queried
regarding their communications on
NROC issues and value derived from
membership. The resulting information
can be used to evaluate the efficiency of
the network, where gaps may exist, and
additional partnerships that would
benefit the Council’s work.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents will be surveyed
electronically. Submission results will
be online.

ACTION: Notice of non-compliance
referral.
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that on
February 4, 2010, the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission
(Commission) found the State of New
Jersey out of compliance with the
Commission’s Interstate Fishery
Management Plan (ISFMP) for Coastal
Sharks. Subsequently, the Commission
referred the matter to NMFS, under
delegation of authority from the
Secretary of Commerce, for federal noncompliance review under the provisions
of the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries
Cooperative Management Act (Atlantic
Coastal Act). The Atlantic Coastal Act
mandates that NMFS must review the
Commission’s non-compliance referral
and make specific findings within 30
days after receiving the referral. If
NMFS determines that New Jersey failed
to carry out its responsibilities under
the Coastal Sharks ISFMP, and if the
measures it failed to implement are
necessary for conservation, then,
according to the Atlantic Coastal Act,
NMFS must declare a moratorium on
fishing for coastal sharks in New Jersey
waters.
DATES: NMFS intends to make a
determination on this matter by March
10, 2010, and will publish its findings
in the Federal Register immediately
thereafter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Coastal Shark ISFMP includes
management measures for several
species of Atlantic sharks. The
implementation of these regulations is
necessary to rebuild depleted shark
stocks, ensure sustainable harvest of
others, and provide protection for
sharks in state nursing and pupping
grounds. The Commission’s Technical
Committee has identified Delaware Bay
as one of the most important nursing
grounds for depleted sandbar sharks on
the Atlantic Coast. Included in the 22
commercial and recreational regulations
in the FMP is a seasonal closure from
Virginia north through New Jersey to
protect pupping sandbar sharks. On
February 4, 2010, the Commission
found the State of New Jersey out of
compliance for not fully and effectively
implementing and enforcing the Coastal
Shark ISFMP. The Commission
subsequently referred its noncompliance finding to NMFS.
Federal response to a Commission
non-compliance referral is governed by
the Atlantic Coastal Act. Under the
Atlantic Coastal Act, the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) must make two
findings within 30 days after receiving
the non-compliance referral. First, the
Secretary must determine whether the
state in question (in this case, New
Jersey) has failed to carry out its
responsibilities under the ISFMP.
Second, the Secretary must determine
whether the measures that the State has
failed to implement or enforce are
necessary for the conservation of the
fishery in question. If the Secretary of
Commerce makes affirmative findings
on both criteria, then the Secretary must
implement a moratorium on fishing in
the fishery in question (in this case
coastal sharks) within the waters of the
non-complying state (in this case, New
Jersey). Further, the moratorium must
become effective within six months of
the date of the Secretary’s noncompliance determination. To the
extent that the allegedly offending state
later implements the involved measure,
the Atlantic Coastal Act allows the state
to petition the Commission that it has
come back into compliance, and if the
Commission concurs, the Commission
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
will notify the Secretary and, if the
Secretary concurs, the moratorium will
be withdrawn. The Secretary has
delegated Atlantic Coastal Act
authorities to the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries at NMFS.
NMFS has notified the State of New
Jersey, the Commission, the MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council,
and the New England Fishery
Management Council, in separate
letters, of its receipt of the
Commission’s non-compliance referral.
In the letters, NMFS solicits comments
from the Commission and Councils to
the extent either entity is interested in
providing such comments. NMFS also
indicates to the State of New Jersey that
the State is entitled to meet with and
present its comments directly to NMFS
if the State so desires.
NMFS intends to make its noncompliance determination on or about
March 10, 2010, which is 30 days after
receipt of the Commission’s noncompliance referral. NMFS will
announce its determination by Federal
Register notice immediately thereafter.
To the extent that NMFS makes an
affirmative non-compliance finding,
NMFS will announce the effective date
of the moratorium in that Federal
Register notice.

Background
On November 9, 2009, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
helical spring lock washers (‘‘lock
washers’’) from the People’s Republic of
China, covering the period October 1,
2007 through September 30, 2008. See
Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers
from the People’s Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR
57653 (November 9, 2009). The final
results of this administrative review
were originally due no later than March
9, 2010. As explained in the
memorandum from the Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, the Department has
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines
for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from February 5,
through February 12, 2010. Thus, all
deadlines in this segment of the
proceeding have been extended by
seven days. The revised deadline for the
final results of this review is currently
March 16, 2010. See Memorandum to
the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS
for Import Administration, regarding
‘‘Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As
a Result of the Government Closure
During the Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated
February 12, 2010.
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires
that the Department issue the final
results of an administrative review
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published. If
it is not practicable to complete the
review within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the deadline for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published.
In the instant review, the Department
requires additional time to address the
issues raised by interested parties
regarding surrogate values for factors of
production and to analyze additional
surrogate value information filed by
both the petitioner and respondent. In
their case briefs and rebuttal briefs both
parties have raised concerns about the
selection of a surrogate value for steel
wire rod, the key input for the
production of lock washers. In addition,
parties have presented arguments
backed up by the timely filed surrogate
value information regarding the
selection of surrogate values for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coastal Shark ISFMP includes management
measures for several species of Atlantic sharks. The implementation of
these regulations is necessary to rebuild depleted shark stocks, ensure
sustainable harvest of others, and provide protection for sharks in
state nursing and pupping grounds. The Commission's Technical Committee
has identified Delaware Bay as one of the most important nursing
grounds for depleted sandbar sharks on the Atlantic Coast. Included in
the 22 commercial and recreational regulations in the FMP is a seasonal
closure from Virginia north through New Jersey to protect pupping
sandbar sharks. On February 4, 2010, the Commission found the State of
New Jersey out of compliance for not fully and effectively implementing

referred its non-compliance finding to NMFS.
Federal response to a Commission non-compliance referral is
governed by the Atlantic Coastal Act. Under the Atlantic Coastal Act,
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) must make two findings within 30
days after receiving the non-compliance referral. First, the Secretary
must determine whether the state in question (in this case, New Jersey)
has failed to carry out its responsibilities under the ISFMP. Second,
the Secretary must determine whether the measures that the State has
failed to implement or enforce are necessary for the conservation of
the fishery in question. If the Secretary of Commerce makes affirmative
findings on both criteria, then the Secretary must implement a
moratorium on fishing in the fishery in question (in this case coastal
sharks) within the waters of the non-complying state (in this case, New
Jersey). Further, the moratorium must become effective within six
months of the date of the Secretary's non-compliance determination. To
the extent that the allegedly offending state later implements the
involved measure, the Atlantic Coastal Act allows the state to petition
the Commission that it has come back into compliance, and if the
Commission concurs, the Commission will notify the Secretary and, if
the Secretary concurs, the moratorium will be withdrawn. The Secretary
has delegated Atlantic Coastal Act authorities to the Assistant
Administrator for Fisheries at NMFS.
NMFS has notified the State of New Jersey, the Commission, the Mid-
Atlantic Fishery Management Council, and the New England Fishery
Management Council, in separate letters, of its receipt of the
Commission's non-compliance referral. In the letters, NMFS solicits
comments from the Commission and Councils to the extent either entity
is interested in providing such comments. NMFS also indicates to the
State of New Jersey that the State is entitled to meet with and present
its comments directly to NMFS if the State so desires.
NMFS intends to make its non-compliance determination on or about
March 10, 2010, which is 30 days after receipt of the Commission's non-
compliance referral. NMFS will announce its determination by Federal
Register notice immediately thereafter. To the extent that NMFS makes
an affirmative non-compliance finding, NMFS will announce the effective
date of the moratorium in that Federal Register notice.
