Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The issues include the
likelihood of continuation or recurrence
of a countervailable subsidy and the net
countervailable subsidy likely to prevail
if the order was revoked.
Final Results of Review
Pursuant to sections 752(b)(1) and (3)
of the Act, we determine that revocation
of the CVD order on wire rod from
Brazil would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies at the
following net countervailable subsidy
rates:

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a
recovery plan; request for information.
AGENCY:
The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) is announcing
its intent to prepare a recovery plan for
the Main Hawaiian Islands insular false
killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens)
distinct population segment (MHI
Insular FKW) and requests information
from the public. NMFS is required by
section 4(f) of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended, to
develop and implement recovery plans
for the conservation and survival of
federally listed species unless the

Secretary finds that such a plan will not
promote the conservation of the species.
DATES: To allow adequate time to
conduct a review of information
submitted, all information must be
received no later than November 1,
2013.
ADDRESSES: Information may be
submitted by any one of the following
methods:
• Via email:
NMFS.PIR.FKWRecoveryPlan@noaa.gov
(No files larger than 5MB can be
accepted).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS is
charged with the recovery of the MHI
Insular FKW, listed as endangered
under the Endangered species Act of
1973 (ESA). Recovery means
improvement in the status of listed
species to the point at which the
protections of the ESA are no longer
necessary. The ESA specifies that
recovery plans must include: (1) A
description of management actions
necessary to achieve the plan’s goals for
the conservation and survival of the
species; (2) objective, measurable
criteria which, when met, would result
in the species being removed from the
list; and (3) estimates of the time and
costs required to achieve the plan’s goal
and the intermediate steps towards that
goal. Section 4(f) of the ESA requires
that public notice and an opportunity
for public review and comment be
provided during recovery plan
development. We are soliciting relevant
information related to the MHI insular
FKW and their habitat, including:
1. Criteria for removing MHI insular
FKW from the list of threatened and
endangered species;
2. Human activities that contribute to
the ESA listing factors (section
4(a)(1)(A)–(E)):
(A) Present or threatened destruction,
modification, or curtailment of its
habitat or range;
(B) overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or educational
purposes;
(C) disease or predation;
(D) the inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or
(E) other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.

3. Physical, biological or chemical
features of the environment that limit
the recovery of MHI insular FKW;
4. Strategies and/or actions to recover
MHI insular FKW;
5. Estimates of the time and cost to
implement recovery actions;
6. Critical knowledge gaps and/or
uncertainties that need to be resolved to
better inform recovery efforts; and
7. Research, monitoring, and
evaluation needs to address knowledge
gaps and uncertainties, or to assess the
species’ status, limiting factors, and
threats relative to recovery goals.
Upon completion, the proposed
Recovery Plan will be available for
public review and comment through the
publication of a Federal Register Notice.
Status Review Documents
NMFS developed a status review
(NOAA Technical Memorandum
NMFS–PIFSC–22) and an addendum to
the status review (NOAA Internal
Report NMFS–PIFSC–IR–12–038) for
the MHI Insular FKW to help inform the
recovery plan. Additional information
that may help inform the recovery plan
is the False Killer Whale Take
Reduction Plan and the final rule to
implement the Plan (77 FR 71260). The
Plan and the final rule were developed
to address the incidental mortality and
serious injury of false killer whales in
Hawaii’s commercial longline fisheries.
