DATES: Effective Date: December 5, 2011. SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) and the International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain helical spring lock washers from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty orders. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Morris, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–1779.

See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 31588 (June 1, 2011). As a result of its review, the Department determined that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain helical spring lock washers from Taiwan and the PRC would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the order be revoked. See Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers From Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited Third Five-Year Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 76 FR 61343 (October 4, 2011).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract This request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. This information collection is needed in order to meet the monitoring requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). In particular, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) needs economic data on all harvesters, first receivers, shorebased processors, catcher processors, and motherships participating in the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery. The currently approved collection covers collection of data for the 2009, E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM 05DEN1 jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 75874 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 233 / Monday, December 5, 2011 / Notices 2010, and 2011 operating years. Data from the 2009 and 2010 operating years provides information on the economic condition of the fishery prior to the implementation of catch share management in January 2011, and has been collected by the NWFSC. Data for the 2011 operating year, which will provide information on the first year of operation under the catch share regime, will be collected from all catcher vessels registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, catcher processors registered to catcher processor permits, and motherships registered to mothership permits, first receivers, and shorebased processors that received round or head-and-gutted individual fishing quota (IFQ) groundfish or whiting from a first receiver. Based on review of the completed economic data collection (EDC) forms submitted for the 2009 and 2010 operating years as well as discussions with survey respondents, the NWFSC seeks to modify the four forms which are used in this information collection. These modifications clarify instructions, make the requests for information more consistent with the accounting/ bookkeeping systems used by survey recipients, and continue to facilitate meeting MSA requirements for evaluation of the economic effect of catch share management on the West Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery. As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC forms due on September 1, 2012 will provide data for the 2011 operating year. The definition of the survey population is different for 2011 data, to account for differences between the requirements for the baseline collection and ongoing collections as defined in the regulations. To capture vessel improvements and repairs to vessels that did not harvest any groundfish or were operated by lessees, in the 2011 data collection, as well as to collect more complete information about shoreside operations that do not process fish, completion of each form in its entirety will be required for all owners of vessels registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership permit, or a catcher processor permit, owners of a first receiver site license, and owners or lessees of a shorebased processor that received round or headed-and-gutted IFQ species groundfish or whiting from a first receiver. This is in contrast to the 2009 and 2010 data collection which allowed entities that did not harvest or process any groundfish to complete only the first four pages of the forms. Other minor modifications to the catcher vessel forms include asking for VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:52 Dec 02, 2011 Jkt 226001 information about lease dates of the vessel, and the addition of several expense categories based on feedback from the 2009 and 2010 data collections. The first receiver and shorebased processor form was modified to better align with accounting practices and to clarify the information required for reporting fish purchases. There were no other changes to the mothership or catcher processors forms. II. Method of Collection Forms may be submitted via mail or electronically. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0618.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for a revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    This information collection is needed in order to meet the 
monitoring requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). In 
particular, the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) needs 
economic data on all harvesters, first receivers, shorebased 
processors, catcher processors, and motherships participating in the 
West Coast groundfish trawl fishery.
    The currently approved collection covers collection of data for the 
2009,

2010, and 2011 operating years. Data from the 2009 and 2010 operating 
years provides information on the economic condition of the fishery 
prior to the implementation of catch share management in January 2011, 
and has been collected by the NWFSC. Data for the 2011 operating year, 
which will provide information on the first year of operation under the 
catch share regime, will be collected from all catcher vessels 
registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, catcher processors 
registered to catcher processor permits, and motherships registered to 
mothership permits, first receivers, and shorebased processors that 
received round or head-and-gutted individual fishing quota (IFQ) 
groundfish or whiting from a first receiver.
    Based on review of the completed economic data collection (EDC) 
forms submitted for the 2009 and 2010 operating years as well as 
discussions with survey respondents, the NWFSC seeks to modify the four 
forms which are used in this information collection. These 
modifications clarify instructions, make the requests for information 
more consistent with the accounting/bookkeeping systems used by survey 
recipients, and continue to facilitate meeting MSA requirements for 
evaluation of the economic effect of catch share management on the West 
Coast groundfish limited entry trawl fishery.
    As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC forms due on September 1, 2012 
will provide data for the 2011 operating year.
    The definition of the survey population is different for 2011 data, 
to account for differences between the requirements for the baseline 
collection and ongoing collections as defined in the regulations. To 
capture vessel improvements and repairs to vessels that did not harvest 
any groundfish or were operated by lessees, in the 2011 data 
collection, as well as to collect more complete information about 
shoreside operations that do not process fish, completion of each form 
in its entirety will be required for all owners of vessels registered 
to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership permit, or a 
catcher processor permit, owners of a first receiver site license, and 
owners or lessees of a shorebased processor that received round or 
headed-and-gutted IFQ species groundfish or whiting from a first 
receiver. This is in contrast to the 2009 and 2010 data collection 
which allowed entities that did not harvest or process any groundfish 
to complete only the first four pages of the forms.
    Other minor modifications to the catcher vessel forms include 
asking for information about lease dates of the vessel, and the 
addition of several expense categories based on feedback from the 2009 
and 2010 data collections. The first receiver and shorebased processor 
form was modified to better align with accounting practices and to 
clarify the information required for reporting fish purchases. There 
were no other changes to the mothership or catcher processors forms.

II. Method of Collection

    Forms may be submitted via mail or electronically.
