appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision.
Amended Final Scope Ruling
Because there is now a final court
decision with respect to this case,
Commerce is amending its final scope
ruling and finds that the scope of the
Orders do not cover certain finished
components of refrigerated
merchandising and display structures
(merchandising bar part number R10447
and welded mounted bar kit number
250355) imported by Carlson.
Commerce will instruct CBP that the
cash deposit rate will be zero percent for
certain finished components of
refrigerated merchandising and display
structures (merchandising bar part
number R10447 and welded mounted
bar kit number 250355) imported by
Carlson. In the event that the CIT’s
ruling is not appealed, or if appealed,
upheld by the CAFC, Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
certain finished components of
refrigerated merchandising and display
structures (merchandising bar part
number R10447 and welded mounted
bar kit number 250355) imported by
Carlson without regard to antidumping
duties, and to lift suspension of
liquidation of such entries.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(e)(1) of
the Act.

Jkt 247001
I. Background
Section 315 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C.
1445a) authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to establish advisory
councils to advise and make
recommendations regarding the
designation and management of national
marine sanctuaries. ONMS is
establishing a new sanctuary advisory
council for the proposed national
marine sanctuary in Lake Ontario to
serve as a liaison with the local
community and provide guidance and
advice to ONMS regarding the
designation. The advisory council for
the proposed sanctuary in Lake Ontario
was not established when ONMS
published its annual announcement in
May 2019 that was advertising to fill
vacant seats on the other 14 councils (84
FR 24758, May 29, 2019). Therefore,
ONMS is adding the new advisory
council to the list of sites with open
vacancies and announcing that it is
soliciting applications to fill the
council’s seats. Applications are due
November 1, 2019.
II. Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries (ONMS)
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
Ontario. The council will provide
advice and recommendations to ONMS
regarding the sanctuary’s designation.
ONMS is soliciting applications to fill
seats on the Proposed Lake Ontario
National Marine Sanctuary Advisory
Council. This notice contains web page
links and contact information for the
Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine
Sanctuary and application materials to
apply for the newly established advisory
council.
DATES: Applications for membership on
the Proposed Lake Ontario Sanctuary
Advisory Council need to be received by
November 1, 2019.
ADDRESSES: For further information
contact: Ellen Brody, Great Lakes
Regional Coordinator, NOAA Office of
National Marine Sanctuaries, 4840
South State Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48108,
or call 734–741–2270, or email
ellen.brody@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ONMS serves as the trustee for a
network of underwater parks
encompassing more than 600,000 square
miles of marine and Great Lakes waters
from Washington state to the Florida
Keys, and from Lake Huron to American
Samoa. The network includes a system
of 14 national marine sanctuaries and
the Papaha¯naumokua¯kea and Rose Atoll
marine national monuments. National
marine sanctuaries protect our nation’s
most vital coastal and marine natural

and cultural resources, and through
active research, management, and
public engagement, sustain healthy
environments that are the foundation for
thriving communities and stable
economies.
One of the many ways ONMS ensures
public participation in the designation
and management of national marine
sanctuaries is through the formation of
advisory councils. Advisory councils
are community-based groups
established to provide advice and
recommendations to ONMS on issues
including management and science, as
well as to serve as liaisons between their
constituents in the community and the
site. Pursuant to Section 315(a) of the
NMSA, advisory councils are exempt
from the requirements of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act. Additional
information on ONMS and its advisory
councils can be found at https://
sanctuaries.noaa.gov.
III. Advisory Council Membership
Under Section 315 of the NMSA,
advisory council members may be
appointed from among: (1) Persons
employed by federal or state agencies
with expertise in natural resources
management; (2) members of relevant
regional fishery management councils;
and (3) representatives of local user
groups, conservation and other public
interest organizations, scientific
organizations, educational
organizations, or others interested in the
protection and multiple use
management of sanctuary resources (16
U.S.C. 1445 a(b)).
The charter for each advisory council
defines the number and type of seats
and positions on the council. The
advisory council charter for the
proposed national marine sanctuary in
eastern Lake Ontario identifies the
following initial, non-governmental
voting seat types: Divers/dive clubs/
shipwreck exploration; education;
maritime history and interpretation;
tourism; economic development;
recreational fishing; recreational
boating; shoreline property owner; and
citizen-at-large. Initially, the council
will also have non-voting seats for
government agencies. Input from
federally recognized tribes will be
received through direct government-togovernment consultation, pursuant to
NOAA’s Policy on Government-toGovernment Consultation with
Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and
Alaska Native Corporations (NAO 218–
8, December 19, 2018).
For each of the existing advisory
councils, applicants are chosen based
upon their particular expertise and
experience in relation to the seat for

which they are applying; community
and professional affiliations; views
regarding the protection and
management of marine or Great Lakes
resources; and possibly the length of
residence in the area affected by the site.
Council members and alternates for the
Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine
Sanctuary Advisory Council serve threeyear terms, as reflected in the signed
charter.
More information on advisory council
membership and processes, and
materials related to the purpose,
policies, and operational requirements
for advisory councils can be found in

council (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated
to NMFS) to allow, upon request, the
incidental, but not intentional, taking of
small numbers of marine mammals by
U.S. citizens who engage in a specified
activity (other than commercial fishing)
within a specified geographical region if
certain findings are made and either
regulations are issued or, if the taking is
limited to harassment, a notice of a
proposed authorization is provided to
the public for review.
An authorization for incidental
takings shall be granted if NMFS finds
that the taking will have a negligible
impact on the species or stock(s), will
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of the species or
stock(s) for subsistence uses (where
relevant), and if the permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such takings are set
forth.
NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact
resulting from the specified activity that
cannot be reasonably expected to, and is
not reasonably likely to, adversely affect
the species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.
The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’
means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or
attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill
any marine mammal.
