Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 80 / Tuesday, April 27, 2010 / Notices
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
leading letter. Illustrative examples from
among the approximately 160 registered
alloys that may characterize the subject
merchandise are as follows: 1350, 3003,
and 6060.
Aluminum extrusions are produced and
imported in a wide variety of shapes
and forms, including, but not limited to,
hollow profiles, other solid profiles,
pipes, tubes, bars, and rods. Aluminum
extrusions that are drawn subsequent to
extrusion (‘‘drawn aluminum’’) are also
included in the scope.
Aluminum extrusions are produced and
imported with a variety of finishes (both
coatings and surface treatments), and
types of fabrication. The types of
coatings and treatments applied to
subject aluminum extrusions include,
but are not limited to, extrusions that
are mill finished (i.e., without any
coating or further finishing), brushed,
buffed, polished, anodized (including
bright–dip anodized), liquid painted, or
powder coated. Aluminum extrusions
may also be fabricated, i.e., prepared for
assembly. Such operations would
include, but are not limited to,
extrusions that are cut–to-length,
machined, drilled, punched, notched,
bent, stretched, knurled, swedged,
mitered, chamfered, threaded, and spun.
The subject merchandise includes
aluminum extrusions that are finished
(coated, painted, etc.), fabricated, or any
combination thereof.
Subject aluminum extrusions may be
described at the time of importation as
parts for final finished products that are
assembled after importation, including,
but not limited to, window frames, door
frames, solar panels, curtain walls, or
furniture. Such parts that otherwise
meet the definition of aluminum
extrusions are included in the scope.
The scope includes aluminum
extrusions that are attached (e.g., by
welding or fasteners) to form
subassemblies, i.e., partially assembled
merchandise.
Subject extrusions may be identified
with reference to their end use, such as
heat sinks, door thresholds, or carpet
trim. Such goods are subject
merchandise if they otherwise meet the
scope definition, regardless of whether
they are finished products and ready for
use at the time of importation.
The following aluminum extrusion
products are excluded: aluminum
extrusions made from aluminum alloy
with an Aluminum Association series
designations commencing with the
number 2 and containing in excess of
1.5 percent copper by weight; aluminum
extrusions made from aluminum alloy
with an Aluminum Association series
designation commencing with the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
number 5 and containing in excess of
1.0 percent magnesium by weight; and
aluminum extrusions made from
aluminum alloy with an Aluminum
Association series designation
commencing with the number 7 and
containing in excess of 2.0 percent zinc
by weight.
The scope also excludes finished
merchandise containing aluminum
extrusions as parts that are fully and
permanently assembled and completed
at the time of entry, such as finished
windows with glass, doors, picture
frames, and solar panels. The scope also
excludes finished goods containing
aluminum extrusions that are entered
unassembled in a ‘‘kit.’’ A kit is
understood to mean a packaged
combination of parts that contains, at
the time of importation, all of the
necessary parts to fully assemble a final
finished good.
The scope also excludes aluminum
alloy sheet or plates produced by other
than the extrusion process, such as
aluminum products produced by a
method of casting. Cast aluminum
products are properly identified by four
digits with a decimal point between the
third and fourth digit. A letter may also
precede the four digits. The following
Aluminum Association designations are
representative of aluminum alloys for
casting: 208.0, 295.0, 308.0, 355.0,
C355.0, 356.0, A356.0, A357.0, 360.0,
366.0, 380.0, A380.0, 413.0, 443.0,
514.0, 518.1, and 712.0. The scope also
excludes pure, unwrought aluminum in
any form.
Imports of the subject merchandise are
provided for under the following
categories of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTS’’):
7604.21.0000, 7604.29.1000,
7604.29.3010, 7604.29.3050,
7604.29.5030, 7604.29.5060,
7608.20.0030, and 7608.20.0090. The
subject merchandise entered as parts of
other aluminum products may be
classifiable under the following
additional Chapter 76 subheadings:
7610.10, 7610.90, 7615.19, 7615.20, and
7616.99 as well as under other HTS
chapters. While HTS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope in this proceeding is dispositive.

Written comments on this application
should be submitted to the Chief,
Permits, Conservation and Education
Division, at the address listed below.
Comments may also be submitted by
facsimile to (301)713–0376, or by email
to NMFS.Pr1Comments@noaa.gov.
Please include File No. 14245 in the

Those individuals requesting a public
hearing should submit a written request
to the Chief, Permits, Conservation and
Education Division at the address listed
below. The request should set forth the
specific reasons why a hearing on this
application would be appropriate.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy Hapeman or Carrie Hubard,
(301)713–2289.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
The NMML requests a five-year
permit to conduct research on marine
mammals in the Pacific, Southern,
Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans to monitor
cetaceans for scientific and management
purposes. NMML would conduct
ongoing projects designed to collect
multi-year data to evaluate trends,
abundance and distribution of whales
and dolphins over long periods of time.
Research activities would include aerial
and vessel surveys, biopsy sampling,
tagging, captures and a suite of sampling
procedures associated with captures.
Aerial and vessel surveys would be
conducted for abundance estimation
and distribution using line transect
survey methods, photo-identification
surveys, feeding studies, and searching
for target species for feeding, biopsy and
tagging studies. Eight pinniped species,
including endangered Steller sea lions
(Eumetopias jubatus), could be
incidentally harassed during aerial
surveys below 1,000 ft. Biopsy sampling
would be conducted in conjunction
with photo-identification surveys and
tagging projects and during dedicated
biopsy projects. Individuals may
sampled up to four times annually for
studies on distribution and prey
choices. Transmitters would be attached
using various methods to investigate
cetacean movements and habitat use.

Beluga whales, Dall’s porpoises
(Phocoenoides dalli), and harbor
porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) would
be captured for health assessments,
attachment of satellite and/or VHF
telemetry tags, and released. Over the
life of the permit, capture activities may
result in the unintentional deaths of
four beluga whales from each non-listed
stock and four animals from each
species of porpoise. Capture research
would be suspended and reviewed if
four beluga whales, all stocks combined,
die in a single year. NMFS is not
permitting capture activities or
mortality of endangered Cook Inlet
beluga whales at this time, but is
analyzing the impacts of these activities
under the National Environmental
Policy Act and the ESA in the event that
these activities are considered in the
future. The NMML also requests the
salvage and import/export of cetacean
parts, specimens, and biological
samples collected during these projects.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
