Pandalidae family and commonly
referred to as coldwater shrimp, in any

the end product constituting between

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the
Preliminary Results, and because we
received no comments from interested
parties to the contrary, the Department
continues to find that Srikanth is the
successor-in-interest to NGR. As a result
of this determination, we find that
Srikanth should receive the cash deposit
rate previously assigned to NGR in the

most recently completed review of the
antidumping duty order on shrimp from
India. See Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp From India: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, Partial Rescission of Review,
and Notice of Revocation of Order in
Part, 75 FR 41813, 41816 (Jul. 19, 2010).
Consequently, the Department will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to suspend liquidation of all
shipments of subject merchandise
produced and exported by Srikanth and
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice in the
Federal Register at 2.67 percent, which
is the current cash deposit rate for NGR.
See, e.g., Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Changed Circumstances Review:
Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy
Steel Pipe and Tube From Mexico, 74
FR 41681, 41682 (Aug., 18, 2009). This
cash deposit requirement shall remain
in effect until further notice.
We are issuing this determination and
publishing these final results and notice
in accordance with sections 751(b)(1)
and 777(i)(1) and (2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.216

Closed Area, a report from the Council's SSC, and a presentation on the

to staff regarding approaches and mechanisms for consideration at the
December 2010 Council meeting relative to red snapper.
The Committee will review Amendment 18 to the Snapper Grouper
Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and provide recommendations for approval
of the amendment for public hearings. Amendment 18 includes actions to

Regulatory Amendment 9 to the Snapper Grouper FMP and provide
recommendations for staff. Amendment 20 will modify and update the
current Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) program for wreckfish.
Amendment 24 addresses requirements under the MSA for red grouper and
black grouper, including establishment of ACLs, AMs, and a rebuilding
plan for red grouper. Regulatory Amendment 9 includes alternatives to
specify trip limits for black sea bass, vermilion snapper, gag, and
greater amberjack and to address possible changes for the requirement
of sea turtle release gear within the snapper grouper fishery.
The Committee will also review options papers for Amendments 21 and
22, and provide guidance to staff. Amendment 21 addresses alternatives
for management of the snapper grouper fishery including: implementation
of trip limits, effort and participation reductions, endorsements,
catch shares, and regional quotas.
Amendment 22 includes options for long-term management measures for
red snapper in the South Atlantic as the stock rebuilds. The Committee
will also review management alternatives for the Comprehensive ACL
Amendment that will specify ACLs, AMs and other values as mandated in

overfishing. This includes species in the Snapper Grouper, Coral,
