Act. Parties are hereby reminded that
revised certification requirements are in
effect for company/government officials

Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews
can be very short, we urge interested
parties to apply for access to proprietary
information under administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) immediately
following publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate.
The Department’s regulations on
submission of proprietary information
and eligibility to receive access to
business proprietary information under
APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304–
306.
Information Required From Interested
Parties
Domestic interested parties defined in
section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b) wishing
to participate in a Sunset Review must
respond not later than 15 days after the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate.
The required contents of the notice of
intent to participate are set forth at 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance
with the Department’s regulations, if we
do not receive a notice of intent to
participate from at least one domestic
interested party by the 15-day deadline,
the Department will automatically
revoke the order without further review.
See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
If we receive an order-specific notice
of intent to participate from a domestic
interested party, the Department’s
regulations provide that all parties
wishing to participate in a Sunset
Review must file complete substantive
responses not later than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive
response, on an order-specific basis, are
set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note
that certain information requirements
differ for respondent and domestic
parties. Also, note that the Department’s

conduct of Sunset Reviews.1 Please
consult the Department’s regulations at

1 In comments made on the interim final sunset
regulations, a number of parties stated that the
proposed five-day period for rebuttals to
substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the
final sunset regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As
provided in 19 CFR 351.302(b), however, the
Department will consider individual requests to
extend that five-day deadline based upon a showing
of good cause.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The items
of discussion in the committee’s agenda
are as follows:
The Groundfish Oversight Committee
will discuss possible adjustments to
sector management measures and issues
related to setting Acceptable Biological
Catches (ABCs), Annual Catch Limits
(ACLs), and Accountability Measures
(AMs). They will continue to develop
options to improve sector monitoring,
including both at-sea and dockside
monitoring. They may discuss
appropriate monitoring coverage levels
and full retention of allocated
groundfish species. The Committee will
develop measures that may help
mitigate expected low catch levels in
fishing year 2013. These measures could
SUMMARY:

include modifications to groundfish
closed areas (including habitat areas).
The Committee will further review a
motion passed at its last meeting that
would provide increased access to most
groundfish closed areas, and may
consider modifications to that motion
that will be forwarded to the Council.
They may consider other modifications
to the sector program, such as creating
areas for fishing on Georges Bank (GB)
that are not subject to the GB yellowtail
flounder ACE limits. With respect to
ABCs/ACLs/AMs, the Committee will
consider options for addressing catches
of groundfish stocks (primarily SNE/
MAB windowpane flounder) by other
fisheries (such as the fluke, scup and
squid fisheries), and may either develop
options for additional sub-ACLs or may
propose changes to accountability
measures to control those catches. The
Committee may also discuss other
issues that may be incorporated into the
framework. Options identified by the
Committee will be included in a future
management action (Framework
Adjustment 48) that will be considered
by the Council in the fall of 2012. The
Committee is also expected to receive a
preliminary report on catch advice
developed for Eastern Georges Bank cod
and haddock, and Georges Bank
yellowtail flounder that will be
developed by the Transboundary
Management Guidance Committee. The
Committee may provide comments for
consideration by the Council when it
considers these Fishing Year 2013
quotas. The Committee may discuss
scallop/groundfish management issues,
such as yellowtail flounder allocations
and the timing of scallop vessel access
to groundfish closed areas. Other
business may be discussed.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.

Atlantic herring fishery specifications
for the upcoming fishing years (2013–

specifications related to the overfishing
limit (OFL), acceptable biological catch
(ABC), management uncertainty and a
stockwide annual catch limit (ACL),
domestic annual harvesting (DAH),
domestic annual processing (DAP),
border transfer (BT), sub-ACLs for the
four herring management areas, and setasides for research and the fixed gear
fishery. They will discuss the recent
court decision regarding Amendment 4
to the Atlantic Herring Fishery
Management Plan (FMP), related

specifications through 2013 and develop
a comprehensive specifications package
for 2014–16 to address some elements of
the Amendment 4 court order. Also on
the agenda will be the review and
discussion of the recent benchmark
stock assessment for Atlantic Herring
(SAW/SARC 54). The Committees will
also review and discuss
recommendations of the Council’s
Scientific and Statistical Committee
(SSC) regarding scientific uncertainty
and the specification of ABC. They will
review and discuss issues related to
management uncertainty and develop
recommendation for specification of
management uncertainty and a
stockwide ACL.
Additionally, the Committees will
discuss other elements of herring fishery
specifications and possible options for
management area sub-ACLs. They will
address other business as necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not
