SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9 of the ESA and Federal regulations prohibit the ‘taking’ of a species listed as endangered or threatened. The ESA defines ‘‘take’’ to mean harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. NMFS may PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 637 issue permits, under limited circumstances to take listed species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA provides for authorizing incidental take of listed species. NMFS governing permits for threatened and endangered species are promulgated at 50 CFR 222.307. Background NMFS received a draft permit application from Clearwater on April 16, 2013. Based on our review of the draft application, we requested further information and clarification. On December 18, 2013, Clearwater submitted an updated draft application. Based on review of the updated draft, NMFS requested clarification on lethal take and alternatives considered. On December 23, 2013, Clearwater submitted a redraft, and based on review of the draft, NMFS determined that the application contained sufficient information for review and consideration under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. Clearwater is requesting incidental take of two sturgeon (either or combination of Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon) each year from 2014 through 2023 that may be caught in trawl or seine gear used to collect fish and invertebrate specimens from the Hudson River, New York. The take of ESA-listed Atlantic sturgeon is largely anticipated to be the New York Bight Distinct Population Segment (98 percent), but individuals may also originate from the Gulf of Maine, Chesapeake, Carolina, and South Atlantic Distinct Population Segments. Of the total 20 individual sturgeon anticipated to be taken for the duration of the permit, Clearwater does not anticipate lethal takes, but has applied for 2 lethal takes for the duration of the permit in the event that encounter conditions that lead to a mortality. Conservation Plan Clearwater’s conservation plan describes measures to minimize, monitor, and mitigate the incidental take of ESA-listed Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon. Clearwater will regularly communicate New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to avoid known sturgeon habitat and spawning grounds. Clearwater will use small otter trawls (95.52 by 45.72 cm doors and weigh less than 0.45 kg) and short tow times (= ≤ 5 minutes). Beach seines, which allow for targeted catch, will be used where practicable (e.g, away from urban areas and where tides allow). If Clearwater incidentally captures a sturgeon in their E:\FR\FM\06JAN1.SGM 06JAN1

Background

    On August 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

timely request from United States Steel Corporation (petitioner), filed 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of 
sales, shipments, or entries by certain companies subject to the 
antidumping duty order on seamless pressure pipe from Germany. On 
October 2, 2013, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on seamless 
pressure pipe from Germany with respect to four companies: (1) Benteler 
Stahl/Rohr GmbH (also known as Benteler Steel/Tube GmbH); (2) ESW

intended to rely on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data to 
select respondents.\3\ We released the results of our CBP data query to 
the petitioners and one other interested party, Voestalpine AG, and 
invited them to comment on the CBP data.\4\ We received no comments on 
the CBP data. We did, however, receive a certification of no shipments 
from Voestalpine AG.\5\

Rescission of Review

    19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) stipulates that the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a 
party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of 
the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested 
review. As the only party that requested a review (the petitioners) 
withdrew the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review, we are rescinding this 
review of the antidumping duty order on seamless pressure pipe from 
Germany pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\6\

date of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative 
review. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).

Notifications

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
