Background
On May 2, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a notice announcing the
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the countervailing duty order
on citric acid and certain citrate salts
(‘‘citric acid’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 76 FR 24460
(May 2, 2011). On May 31, 2011,
Huangshi Xinghua Biochemical Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Xinghua’’), a producer and
exporter of citric acid, timely requested
that the Department conduct an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on citric acid,
covering merchandise exported by
Xinghua during the period of January 1,
2010, through December 31, 2010. In
accordance with 19 CFR
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:59 Aug 10, 2011
Jkt 223001
49735
351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department
published a notice initiating this
administrative review with regard to
Xinghua. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 76 FR 37781 (June 28, 2011).
Dated: August 4, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations.
Rescission of Review
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. On July 27, 2011,
Xinghua withdrew its request for review
of itself within the 90-day period.
Therefore, in response to Xinghua’s
timely withdrawal request, and as no
other party requested a review of
Xinghua, the Department is rescinding
this administrative review with respect
to Xinghua.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries. For Xinghua, the
countervailing duties shall be assessed
at rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated countervailing 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
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of this notice of
rescission of administrative review with
respect to Xinghua.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
This notice of rescission is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

ACTION: Notice of availability and

AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that
NMFS has received two Tribal Resource
Management Plans (TRMPs), one from

one from the Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR),
and two Fishery Management and
Evaluation Plans (FMEPs) from the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW), for fishery management in the
Snake River Basin in Northeast Oregon.
The TRMPs are provided pursuant to
the Tribal 4(d) Rule; the ODFW FMEPs
are submitted for approval under Limit
4 of the 4(d) Rule for Pacific salmon and
steelhead. This document serves to
notify the public of the availability for
comment of the proposed evaluation of
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
as to how the TRMPs address the
criteria in the ESA, and the availability
of the state FMEPs for public comment.
NMFS also announces the availability of
a draft Environmental Assessment (EA)
for the pending determinations.
DATES: Comments and other
submissions must be received at the
appropriate address or fax number (see

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Species Covered in This Notice
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

produced and artificially propagated
Snake River Spring/Summer-run.
Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened,
naturally produced and artificially
propagated Snake River Basin.
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
On June 7, 2011, NMFS received a
final revised TRMP from the SBT,
addressing management of SBT fisheries
in the Grande Ronde and Imnaha Rivers.
On June 8, 2011, NMFS received a final
revised TRMP from the CTUIR,
addressing management of CTUIR
fisheries in the Grande Ronde and
Imnaha Rivers. On June 14, 2011, NMFS
received two final revised FMEPs from
the ODFW, one describing statemanaged recreational fisheries in the
Grande Ronde River and one describing
state-managed fisheries in the Imnaha
River. The FMEPs and TRMPs include
adaptive management measures to limit
ESA impacts and propose conservative
harvest regimes on the affected listed
species. The FMEPs and TRMPs
describe monitoring programs that
would be in place to ensure that the
implementation of the fisheries is as
intended, and that assumptions
regarding the effects of the fisheries,
particularly in application of the
proposed ESA take limits, continue to
remain valid.
The FMEPs and TRMPs propose to
manage all spring/summer Chinook
salmon fisheries to achieve escapement
objectives. The FMEPs and TRMPs
utilize a harvest rate with five tiers
based on predicted adult abundance to
each of the affected populations. The
majority of the harvest is anticipated to
come from hatchery-origin stocks. The
FMEPs and TRMPs also describe a
process to guide coordination of fishery
design and implementation between the
agencies implementing fisheries in the
action area.
As required by the ESA 4(d) Rule for
Tribal Plans (65 FR 42481, July 10, 2000
[50 CFR 223.209]), the Secretary must
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:59 Aug 10, 2011
Jkt 223001
determine pursuant to 50 CFR 223.209
and pursuant to the government-togovernment processes therein whether
the TRMPs for fisheries in Northeast
Oregon would appreciably reduce the
likelihood of survival and recovery of
Snake River spring/summer and Snake
River Basin steelhead. The Secretary
must take comments on his pending
determination as to whether the TRMPs
address the criteria in the Tribal 4(d)
Rule and in § 223.203(b)(4).
As specified in § 223.203(b)(4) of the
ESA 4(d) Rule, NMFS may approve an
FMEP if it meets criteria set forth in
§ 223.203(b)(4)(i)(A) through (I). Prior to
final approval of an FMEP, NMFS must
publish notification announcing its
availability for public review and
comment.
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
conduct an environmental analysis of
their proposed actions to determine if
the actions may affect the human
environment. NMFS expects to take
action on two ESA section 4(d) TRMPs
and two ESA section 4(d) FMEPs.
Therefore, NMFS is seeking public
input on the scope of the required NEPA
analysis, including the range of
reasonable alternatives and associated
impacts of any alternatives.
The final NEPA, TRMP, and FMEP
determinations will not be completed
until after the end of the 30-day
comment period and will fully consider
all public comments received during the
comment period. NMFS will publish a
record of its final action on the TRMPs
in the Federal Register.
Authority
Under section 4 of the ESA, NMFS, by
delegated authority from the Secretary
of Commerce, is required to adopt such
regulations as he deems necessary and
advisable for the conservation of the
species listed as threatened. The ESA
salmon and steelhead 4(d) Rule (65 FR
42422, July 10, 2000) specifies
categories of activities that contribute to
the conservation of listed salmonids and
sets out the criteria for such activities.
Limit 4 of the updated 4(d) rule (50 CFR
223.203(b)(4)) further provides that the
prohibitions of paragraph (a) of the
updated 4(d) rule (50 CFR 223.203(a))
do not apply to activities associated
with fishery harvest provided that an
FMEP has been approved by NMFS to
be in accordance with the salmon and
steelhead 4(d) rule (65 FR 42422, July
10, 2000, as updated in 70 FR 37160,
June 28, 2005). The ESA Tribal 4(d)
Rule (65 FR 42481, July 10, 2000) states
that the ESA section 9 take prohibitions
will not apply to TRMPs that will not
appreciably reduce the likelihood of
