This DNCI provides notice to the
public that BOEM has determined there
is no competitive interest in the
proposed research lease area, as no
indications of competitive interest were
submitted in response to the RFCI.
In the December 2012 RFCI, BOEM
also solicited public comment on the
proposed lease area and the proposed
DMME research project and any
potential impacts that the project may
have. In response to the RFCI, BOEM
received public comment submissions
from four entities none of which
expressed competitive interest in the
proposed research lease area. However,
BOEM will use the comments that it
received to inform its subsequent
decisions. After the publication of this
DNCI, BOEM will proceed with the
research lease issuance process outlined
at 30 CFR 585.238.

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The subject five-year review
was instituted on December 3, 2012, to
determine whether termination of the
suspended investigation on fresh
tomatoes from Mexico would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury (77 FR 71629, December
3, 2012). On February 28, 2013, Mexican
tomato growers/exporters accounting for
a significant percentage of all fresh
tomatoes imported into the United
States from Mexico provided written
notice to the Department of Commerce
of their withdrawal from the agreement
suspending the antidumping
investigation on fresh tomatoes from
Mexico. Effective March 1, 2013, the
Department of Commerce terminated
the suspension agreement, terminated
the five-year review of the suspended
investigation, and resumed the
antidumping investigation on fresh
tomatoes from Mexico because the
suspension agreement no longer covered
substantially all imports of fresh
tomatoes from Mexico. Accordingly, the
U.S. International Trade Commission
gives notice of the termination of its
review and the resumption of its
antidumping investigation of fresh
tomatoes from Mexico. A schedule for
the final phase of the investigation will
be established and announced at a later
date.
DATES: Effective Date: March 4, 2013.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. On November 1, 1996, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’)
suspended an antidumping
investigation on imports of fresh
tomatoes from Mexico (61 FR 56618,
November 1, 1996). On October 1, 2001,
Commerce initiated its first five-year
review of the suspended investigation
(66 FR 49926, October 1, 2001). On the
basis of the withdrawal from the
suspension agreement by Mexican
tomato growers which accounted for a
significant percentage of all fresh
tomatoes imported into the United
States from Mexico, Commerce
terminated the suspension agreement,
terminated the first five-year review,
and resumed the antidumping

This DNCI is published pursuant to subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS

delegated the authority to make such determinations to BOEM.
Determination and Next Steps
This DNCI provides notice to the public that BOEM has determined
there is no competitive interest in the proposed research lease area,
as no indications of competitive interest were submitted in response to
the RFCI.
In the December 2012 RFCI, BOEM also solicited public comment on
