Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in an LTFV investigation
within 140 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 190 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) The petitioner 4 makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On April 9, 2019, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
determination in this LTFV
investigation.5 The petitioner stated that
it requests postponement of the
preliminary determination of this
investigation because the initial
questionnaire responses submitted by
Dead Sea Magnesium, Ltd. are
substantially deficient and it may not be
possible for Commerce to obtain usable
corrected responses within the current
schedule.6
Because there are no compelling
reasons to deny the request, Commerce,
in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A)
of the Act, is postponing the deadline
for the preliminary determination by 50
days (i.e., 190 days after the date on
which this investigation was initiated
plus 40 days for tolling). As a result,
3 The deadline for the preliminary determination
is normally 140 days after we initiate an
investigation. After tolling, this date is May 12,
2019, which is a Sunday. Commerce practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend
or Federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the
next business day (in this instance, May 13, 2019).

Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act
of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
4 The petitioner is US Magnesium LLC.
5 See Letter from the petitioner, ‘‘Re: Magnesium
from Israel: Petitioner’s Request For Postponement
Of The Preliminary Determination,’’ dated April 9,
2019 (Request for Postponement).
6 See Request for Postponement.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Commerce will issue its preliminary
determination no later than July 1, 2019.
In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determination of
this investigation will continue to be 75
days after the date of publication of the
preliminary determination, unless
postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

ACTION: Notice of workshop.
AGENCY:
The University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth, School for
Marine Science and Technology and the
Gulf of Maine Research Institute are
hosting a workshop on ‘‘Stakeholder
Engagement in Management Strategy
Evaluation of Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
Fisheries.’’ This educational workshop
is supported with NMFS funding
through the Bluefin Tuna Research
Program and is open to the public.
DATES: A workshop will be held on
April 29, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
EDT and April 30, 2019, from 9 a.m. to
12 p.m. EST.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will take
place at University of Massachusetts
Dartmouth, School for Marine Science
and Technology, 836 South Rodney
French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA,
Rooms 101–103.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Management strategy evaluation (MSE)
is a process that allows fishery managers
and stakeholders (e.g., industry,
scientists, and non-governmental
organizations) to assess how well
different management strategies, achieve
specified objectives for a fishery. The
International Commission for the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
has been engaged in developing an MSE
for bluefin tuna. The United States
participates in this MSE development
and has been considering stakeholder
input throughout that development
through established procedures,
including consultation with the ICCAT
Advisory Committee and coordination
with NMFS’s Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) Division and the HMS Advisory
Panel. The United States also
participates in the development of the
MSE through U.S. scientists’
participation in development of the
MSE framework through ICCAT’s
Standing Committee on Research and
Statistics (SCRS).
This educational workshop is
intended to explain to a broader
stakeholder audience the concept of
MSE as a tool for fisheries management,
describe the MSE approach being
developed by ICCAT, and present
preliminary demonstrations as an
illustration of MSE for Atlantic bluefin
tuna. One goal is to solicit feedback
from U.S. fishery stakeholders on how
scientists represent the Atlantic bluefin
resource and fisheries in models, fishery
management objectives, management
performance indicators, and candidate
management procedures. The workshop
will primarily be informational and
educational, and there will be no
binding decisions or formal consensusbased recommendations. While
discussions at the workshop will help to
inform U.S. scientists who are
participating in work of ICCAT’s SCRS,
recommendations directly affecting the
United States’ position development
and input to the MSE will continue to
occur through established procedures.
This workshop is intended to
complement, not replace, existing
opportunities for U.S. stakeholder input.
Limited funding is available to support
travel to this workshop for Atlantic
bluefin tuna stakeholders. For more
