ACTION: Notification of a proposal to conduct exempted fishing; request for comments. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, has made a preliminary determination that the SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:40 Jun 01, 2011 Jkt 223001 subject exempted fishing permit (EFP) application submitted by Limuli Laboratories of Cape May Court House, NJ, contains all the required information and warrants further consideration. The proposed EFP would allow the harvest of up to 10,000 horseshoe crabs from the Carl N. Shuster Jr. Horseshoe Crab Reserve (Reserve) for biomedical purposes and require, as a condition of the EFP, the collection of data related to the status of horseshoe crabs within the reserve. The Acting Director has also made a preliminary determination that the activities authorized under the EFP would be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s (Commission) Horseshoe Crab Interstate Fisheries Management Plan (FMP). However, further review and consultation may be necessary before a final determination is made to issue the EFP. Therefore, NMFS announces that the Acting Director proposes to recommend that an EFP be issued that would allow up to two commercial fishing vessels to conduct fishing operations that are otherwise restricted by the regulations promulgated under the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries Cooperative Management Act (Atlantic Coastal Act). The EFP would allow for an exemption from the Reserve. Regulations under the Atlantic Coastal Act require publication of this notification to provide interested parties the opportunity to comment on applications for proposed EFPs. DATES: Written comments on this action must be received on or before June 17, 2011. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Emily Menashes, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room 13362, Silver Spring, MD 20910.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Limuli Laboratories submitted an application for an EFP on April 19, 2011, to collect up to 10,000 horseshoe PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 31941 crabs for biomedical and data collection purposes from the Reserve. The applicant has applied for, and received, a similar EFP every year from 2001– 2010. The current EFP application specifies that: (1) The same methods would be used in 2011 that were used in years 2001–2010, (2) at least 15 percent of the bled horseshoe crabs would be tagged, and (3) there had not been any sighting or capture of marine mammals or endangered species in the trawling nets of fishing vessels engaged in the collection of horseshoe crabs since 1993. The project submitted by Limuli Laboratories would provide morphological data on horseshoe crab catch, would tag a portion of the caught horseshoe crabs, and would use the blood from the caught horseshoe crabs to manufacture Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL), an important health and safety product used for the detection of endotoxins. The LAL assay is used by medical professionals, drug companies, and pharmacies to detect endotoxins in intravenous pharmaceuticals and medical devices that come into contact with human blood or spinal fluid. Results of 2010 EFP During the 2010 season, a total of 7,497 horseshoe crabs were gathered over a period of 16 days, from the Carl N. Schuster Jr. Horseshoe Crab Reserve (Reserve) for the manufacture of LAL. After transportation to the laboratory, the horseshoe crabs were inspected for size, injuries, and responsiveness. The injured horseshoe crabs numbered 553, or 7.38% of the total, while 66, or 0.88%, were noted as unresponsive. In addition, 66 horseshoe crabs were rejected due to small size. Overall, 6,812 horseshoe crabs were used (bled) in the manufacture of a LAL. Two hundred of the bled horseshoe crabs were randomly selected for activity, morphometric and aging studies. The majority (96 percent) of these horseshoe crabs were considered ‘‘active,’’ and 4 percent were ‘‘very active.’’ Morphometric studies noted that average inter-ocular distances, prosoma widths and weights of these 200 horseshoe crabs were comparable to previous years (2001–2009). The ages of the specimens in 2010 were more evenly distributed throughout the age classes than in previous years, with 40.5% categorized as young, 30.5% medium aged, 25.5% old aged, and very few first-year horseshoe crabs (2.5%). The 200 studied horseshoe crabs and 925 additional bled horseshoe crabs were tagged and released into the Delaware Bay. To date, the tagging of 4,413 horseshoe crabs during 2001–2010 has resulted in 96 live recaptures. The E:\FR\FM\02JNN1.SGM 02JNN1

pipe from Taiwan. The period of review is November 1, 2009, through 
October 31, 2010. Based on the withdrawal of request for review 
submitted by United States Steel Corporation (Petitioner), we are now

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 1, 2010, the Department published a notice announcing 
an opportunity for interested parties to request an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel 
pipe from Taiwan. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 67079 (November 1, 2010). On November 30, 
2010, the Petitioner filed a request that the Department initiate an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded 
non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan with respect to the following four 
companies: Far East Machinery Co., Ltd., Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel 
Corp. (also known as Kao Hsiung Chang Iron & Steel Corp.), Yieh Phui 
Enterprise Co., Ltd., and Chung Hung Steel Corporation (also known as 
Chung Hung Steel Co., Ltd.). Based on Petitioner's request, on December 
28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan covering the period 
November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 81565, 81567 (December 28, 2010). On May 
4, 2011, Petitioner submitted a letter withdrawing its request for a 
review of the order with respect to all four of the respondent 
companies.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations, 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, or 
withdraws at a later date if the Department determines it is reasonable 
to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. Therefore, 
although Petitioner withdrew its request after the 90-day deadline, the 
Department has the discretion to extend this time limit. Consistent 
with the Department's practice, we find it reasonable to extend the 
withdrawal deadline and to rescind the review with respect to the four 
respondents because the Department has not devoted significant time or 
resources to the review. See, e.g., Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe 
From Japan: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 75 FR 38989, 38990 (July 7, 2010); see also Persulfates from 
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 13810, 13811 (March 17, 2006).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
four respondent companies, antidumping duties shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department

[[Page 31941]]

intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 
days after publication of this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded 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 the 
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 25, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
