SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new
information collection.
In 2009, Atlantic salmon populations
from the Androscoggin River in South
Central Maine to the Dennys River in
Eastern Maine were listed as
Endangered under the Federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA) (74 FR
29344, June 19, 2009). Dams were
identified in the listing as a significant
threat to the species survival and
recovery. In order for recovery to occur,
Atlantic salmon must have access to
sufficient adult spawning habitat and
juvenile rearing habitat to support the
continued existence of a recovered
salmon population. In furtherance of
recovery, the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) proposes to conduct a
survey of dam owners.
This survey will allow NMFS to
identify owners of non-Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC)
regulated dams and present to them
opportunities to participate in programs
that will aid them in complying with
E:\FR\FM\26NON1.SGM
26NON1
72788
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2010 / Notices
the ESA. Owners of non-FERC dams
often do not have regulatory oversight
by a Federal agency and therefore, may
not be aware of the requirements of the
ESA and what this means to them. This
survey will identify opportunities for
fish passage improvements or dam
removal that may fit into existing
funding programs directed towards
improving fish passage for diadromous
fish species. Information from this
survey will also be collected to educate
NOAA on the current use, anticipated
use, and community interest in small
dams. This type of information will aid
NMFS in developing tools to
communicate and work effectively with
dam owners within the GOM DPS.
Information will be collected on current
uses of dams, anticipated uses of dams,
important issues or concerns to dam
owners, and owners’ interest in creating
fish passage or removing dams. Known
associations or organizations with an
interest in the dams will also be
identified.
Respondents will represent members
of state and local agencies, private
individuals and corporations, and
commercial businesses. Results will be
used to assist NMFS in identifying dam
owners who are interested in discussing
potential enhancements to Atlantic
salmon habitats.

II. Method of Collection
The geographic spread of potential
respondents is extensive and includes
residents of Maine as well as
nonresidents. Most respondents will be
contacted via an initial letter and a
follow-up telephone call. Personal
interviews will be scheduled with a few
respondents owning multiple (in excess
of 5) dams and the information collected
will be recorded electronically.

SUMMARY: On September 17, 2010, the
United States Court of International
Trade (the ‘‘Court’’ or ‘‘CIT’’) sustained
the U.S. Department of Commerce’s (the
‘‘Department’s’’) final results of
redetermination pursuant to remand,
wherein the Department determined to
rescind the administrative review (‘‘AR’’)
with respect to Dongguan Bon Ten
Furniture Co., Ltd. (‘‘Bon Ten’’) pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.214(j) and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).1 The period of review
(‘‘POR’’) is January 1, 2007, through
December 31, 2007. As the Court’s
decision is now final and conclusive,
the Department is amending the final
results of the 2007 AR of wooden
bedroom furniture (‘‘WBF’’) from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) to
reflect the Department’s redetermination

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On August 17, 2009, the Department
published its Final Results. In response
to Bon Ten’s arguments in its
administrative case brief, the
Department determined not to rescind
the AR with respect to Bon Ten because
Bon Ten had not demonstrated that it
had no shipments during the 2007 AR
POR outside of the single shipment
reviewed during a new shipper review
(‘‘NSR’’) 3 that overlapped, in part, with
the 2007 AR POR.4 Additionally,
because Bon Ten had not demonstrated
its eligibility for a separate rate in the
2007 AR, the Department maintained its
determination to treat Bon Ten as part
of the PRC-wide entity.5
On August 14, 2009, Bon Ten
submitted comments alleging that the
Department made a ministerial error
with respect to the Final Results. Bon
Ten’s ministerial error allegation
focused on the Department’s finding in
the Final Results that Bon Ten had not
provided any assertion prior to the
submission of its case brief that it had
no shipments during the 2007 AR POR
outside of the shipment reviewed in the
context of the NSR. Bon Ten argued that
the Department did not consider its
February 5, 2009, submission
concerning its shipments during the
2007 AR POR in that finding.
In the Amended Final Results, the
Department determined that, although it
had inadvertently overlooked Bon Ten’s
February 5, 2009, submission for
purposes of the Final Results, Bon Ten’s
allegation did not reflect a ministerial
error. The Department reasoned that
