the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Period of Review
The period of review is May 1, 2014,
through April 30, 2015.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, the
Department determines that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 0.00 percent
exists for JBL Canada for the period May
1, 2014, through April 30, 2015.
Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b). Pursuant to 19
CFR 356.8(a), the Department intends to
issue appropriate appraisement
instructions for the respondent subject
to this review directly to CBP 41 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review. Because we
calculated a zero margin for JBL Canada
in the final results of this review, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as the only
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/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and notice
are published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the

AGENCY:
The NMFS Assistant
Administrator, (Assistant
Administrator) has issued an affirmative
finding annual renewal for the
Government of El Salvador under the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA). This affirmative finding
annual renewal will allow yellowfin
tuna and yellowfin tuna products

jurisdiction to be imported into the
United States. The affirmative finding
annual renewal was based on review of
documentary evidence submitted by the
Government of El Salvador and obtained
from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission (IATTC).
DATES: The affirmative finding annual
renewal is effective from April 1, 2015,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
MMPA, 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq., allows
for importation into the United States of
yellowfin tuna harvested by purse seine
vessels in the ETP under certain
conditions. If requested by the
harvesting nation, the Assistant
Administrator will determine whether
to make an affirmative finding based
upon documentary evidence provided
by the government of the harvesting
nation, the IATTC, or the Department of
State.
The affirmative finding process
requires that the harvesting nation is
meeting its obligations under the IDCP
and obligations of membership in the
IATTC. Every 5 years, the government of
the harvesting nation must request a
new affirmative finding and submit the
required documentary evidence directly
to the Assistant Administrator. On an
annual basis, NMFS reviews the
affirmative finding and determines
whether the harvesting nation continues
to meet the requirements. A nation may
provide information related to
compliance with IDCP and IATTC
measures directly to NMFS on an
annual basis or may authorize the
IATTC to release the information to
NMFS to annually renew an affirmative
finding determination without an
application from the harvesting nation.
An affirmative finding will be
terminated, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, if the Assistant
Administrator determines that the
requirements of 50 CFR 216.24(f) are no
longer being met or that a nation is
consistently failing to take enforcement
actions on violations, thereby
diminishing the effectiveness of the
IDCP.
As a part of the affirmative finding
process set forth in 50 CFR 216.24(f), the
Assistant Administrator considered
documentary evidence submitted by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Council recently took action to provide
more flexibility in managing the harvest
of red snapper by the various
components of the Gulf reef fish
recreational sector. In 2014, the Council
established separate private angling and
Federal charter vessel/headboat (forhire) components of the red snapper
recreational sector. The decrease over
time in the proportion of red snapper
harvested by anglers fishing from
Federal for-hire vessels and differences
in regulatory environments faced by
Federal for-hire operators and private
anglers contributed to the Council’s
decision to restructure the red snapper
recreational sector to increase flexibility
for each component. Recreational
fishing for other reef fish species has not
been as restricted as red snapper, but
fishing has closed in Federal waters in
recent years for several popular reef fish
species with recreational annual catch
limits.
In early 2015, the Council requested
the development of Amendment 42 to
the Fishery Management Plan for Reef
Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico
(Amendment 42) to address
management for the headboat
component of the Gulf reef fish fishery

recreational sector. Management
measures under consideration in
Amendment 42 include allocation-based
programs. The purpose of the proposed
measures in Amendment 42 is to reduce
management uncertainty and improve
economic conditions for operators and
owners of Gulf reef fish headboats, and
provide flexibility by increasing fishing
opportunities for their angler passengers
through a management program for Gulf
headboats participating in the Southeast
Region Headboat Survey (SRHS). The
species that may be included in the
program developed in Amendment 42
are red snapper, gray triggerfish, greater
amberjack, gag, and red grouper.
In the Gulf, one Federal charter
vessel/headboat permit for reef fish is
issued by NMFS, and the permit does
not distinguish between headboats and
charter vessels. The SRHS collects catch
and effort data from headboats in the
Southeast Region, thereby producing a
catch history for each vessel included in
the survey. In addition, for fishery
managers, the SRHS continues to be the
sole source for effort and landings
estimates for the headboat component as
a whole. For these reasons, the vessels
included in Amendment 42 are those
vessels with Federal charter vessel/
headboat permits for reef fish that also
have landings in the SRHS, as described
in Amendment 42. The availability of
vessel-specific landings data through
the SRHS may allow development of an
allocation-based management program
for headboats using those landings
histories.
NMFS, in collaboration with the
Council, will develop a DEIS for
Amendment 42 to describe and analyze
alternatives to address the management
needs described above, including the
‘‘no action’’ alternative. In accordance
with NOAA’s Administrative Order
216–6A and the regulations issued by
the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) for implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 40
CFR parts 1500–1508), NMFS, in
collaboration with the Council, has
identified preliminary environmental
issues as a means to initiate discussion
for scoping purposes only. These
preliminary issues may not represent
the full range of issues that eventually
will be evaluated in the DEIS. A copy
of the Amendment 42 draft options
paper is available at: https://
sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sustainable_
fisheries/gulf_fisheries/reef_fish/
index.html.
Comments on the scope of the DEIS
may be submitted in writing to NMFS
(see ADDRESSES) during the 30-day
scoping period. After the scoping period
