Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 42 / Tuesday, March 4, 2014 / Notices
noncountervailable in the Twelfth
Administrative Review.6 In the instant
review, we reviewed relevant excerpts
of Law 56/87 provided by the GOI and,
in the Post-Preliminary Analysis, we
found that Law 56/87 does not, in and
of itself, establish a subsidy program or
provide for subsidy benefits beyond
those already authorized by Law 25/55.7
Because Law 56/87 merely modifies
some provisions of Law 25/55, and
because Law 25/55 and Legislative
Decree 276/03 were previously found to
be noncountervailable, we found in the
Post-Preliminary Analysis that Law 56/
87 is similarly non-countervailable.8 No
information has been submitted causing
us to make a different determination.
Therefore, we continue to do so for
these final results.
PON Program
In the Preliminary Results, we stated
that we intended to seek additional
information from the GOI to confirm
whether Tomasello received funds
under Piano Operativo Nazionale
(National Operating Plan) (PON
Program) in the POR, and would
address this program in a postpreliminary analysis. As noted in the
Post-Preliminary Analysis, the GOI
confirmed that Tomasello did not
receive funding under this program
during the POR.9 Therefore, we found
that Tomasello did not use this program
during the POR.10 We continue to do so
for these final results.
Training Grants from the Fondo Impresa
While Delverde received grants from
the Fondo Impresa during 2011 and
2012,11 we found that this program did
not result in a measurable benefit during
the POR.12 Accordingly, it was not
necessary to analyze whether the
program satisfies the other elements of
a countervailable subsidy under section
771(5) of the Act.13 We continue to

reach the same conclusion for these
final results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Law 46/82
In preliminarily calculating the
benefit for this program, we did not
adjust our calculation methodology to
reflect the number of days of the interest
payment period Tomasello reported
because we were not certain that the
information requested had been
properly reported. However, after we
issued the Preliminary Results,
Tomasello confirmed that it had
correctly reported the number of days
between interest payments for this
loan.14 We have modified the
calculation to properly account for the
number of days between interest
payments confirmed by Tomasello,
thereby changing the subsidy rate for
this program from 0.12 percent to 0.13
percent.15
Final Results of Review
For the period January 1, 2011,
through December 31, 2011, we find the
ad valorem net subsidy rate for
Delverde, Tomasello, and Valdigrano to
be:
Producer/exporter
Delverde Industrie
Alimentari S.p.A..
Molino e Pastificio
Tomasello S.p.A..
Valdigrano di Flavio
Pagani S.r.L..
Net subsidy rate
0.42 (de minimis).
1.83
0.35 (de minimis).
Assessment Rates
Consistent with 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) fifteen days
after the date of publication of these
final results. The Department will
instruct CBP to assess countervailing
duties on POR entries in the amounts
shown above, except that entries of
merchandise produced and/or exported
by both Delverde and Valigrano will be
liquidated without regard to
countervailing duties because their
subsidy rates are de minimis.
Cash Deposit Instructions
The Department intends to instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the

Tomasello supplemental questionnaire response’’
(September 6, 2013) at 1.

consumption on or after the date of
publication of these final results in the
amounts shown above, except that cash
deposits of zero percent will be required

order),17 we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the
most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company.
These cash deposit requirements shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
On November 22, 2013,
NMFS published a notice inviting
qualified commercial shark permit
holders to submit applications to
participate in the 2014 shark research
fishery. The shark research fishery
allows for the collection of fisherydependent data for future stock
assessments and cooperative research
with commercial fishermen to meet the
shark research objectives of the Agency.
Every year, the permit terms and
permitted activities (e.g., number of
hooks and trips, retention limits)
specifically authorized for selected
participants in the shark research
fishery are designated depending on the
scientific and research needs of the
Agency, as well as the number of
NMFS-approved observers available. In
order to inform selected participants of
this year’s specific permit requirements
and ensure all terms and conditions of
the permit are met, NMFS is holding a
mandatory permit holder meeting (via
conference call) for selected
participants. The date and time of that
meeting is announced in this notice.
DATES: A conference call will be held on
March 18, 2014.
ADDRESSES: A conference call will be
conducted. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION for information on how to
access the conference call.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Karyl Brewster-Geisz or Delisse Ortiz at
(301) 427–8503.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Atlantic shark fisheries are managed
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act). The 2006 Consolidated Highly
Migratory species (HMS) Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) is
implemented by regulations at 50 CFR
part 635.
The final rule for Amendment 2 to the
2006 Consolidated HMS FMP (73 FR
35778, June 24, 2008, corrected at 73 FR
40658, July 15, 2008) established,
among other things, a shark research
fishery to maintain time-series data for
stock assessments and to meet NMFS’
research objectives. The shark research
fishery gathers important scientific data
and allows selected commercial
fishermen the opportunity to earn more
revenue from selling the sharks caught,
including sandbar sharks. Only the
commercial shark fishermen selected to
participate in the shark research fishery
are authorized to land/harvest sandbar
sharks subject to the sandbar quota

available each year. The 2014 sandbar
shark quota is 116.6 mt dw per year.
The selected shark research fishery
participants also have access to the
research large coastal shark, small
coastal shark, and pelagic shark quotas
subject to retention limits and quotas
per §§ 635.24 and 635.27, respectively.
On November 22, 2013 (78 FR 70018),
we published a notice inviting qualified
commercial shark directed and
incidental permit holders to submit an
application to participate in the 2014
shark research fishery. We received 13
applications, of which 12 applicants
were determined to meet all the
qualifications. From the 12 qualified
applicants, we randomly selected 5
participants after considering how to
meet research objectives in particular
regions. NMFS expects to invite
qualified commercial shark permit
holders to submit an application for the
2015 shark research fishery later this
year.
As with past years, the 2014 permit
terms and permitted activities (e.g.,
number of hooks and trips, retention
limits) specifically authorized for
selected participants in the shark
research fishery were designated
depending on the scientific and research
needs of the Agency as well as the
number of NMFS-approved observers
available. In order to inform selected
participants of this year’s specific
permit requirements and ensure all
terms and conditions of the permit are
met, per the requirements of
§ 635.32(f)(4), we are holding a
mandatory permit holder meeting via
conference call.
Conference Call Date, Time, and Dialin Number
The conference call will be held on
March 18, 2014, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
(EST). Participants and interested
parties should call 888–790–3083 and
use the passcode 7622417. Selected
participants who do not attend will not
be allowed to participate in the shark
research fishery. While the conference
call is mandatory for selected
participants, other interested parties
may call in and listen to the discussion.
Selected participants are encouraged
to invite their captain, crew, or anyone
else who may assist them in meeting the
terms and conditions of the shark
research fishery permit.
