Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the AD Orders and the CVD Order
would likely lead to a continuation or
a recurrence of dumping,
countervailable subsidies, and of
material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the AD Orders and the
CVD Order. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect AD
and CVD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of the AD Orders and the CVD Order
will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to
initiate the next five-year review of the
AD Orders and the CVD Order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return/destruction or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply is a violation of the
APO which may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
These five-year (sunset) reviews and
this notice are in accordance with
sections 751(c) and (d)(2) of the Act and
published in accordance with section
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4).

The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS, has
made a preliminary determination that
an Exempted Fishing Permit application
from Blue Planet Strategies contains all
of the required information and
warrants further consideration.
Regulations under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act and the Atlantic
Coastal Fisheries Cooperative
Management Act require publication of
this notice to provide interested parties
the opportunity to comment on
applications for proposed Exempted
Fishing Permits.
DATES: Comments must be received on

SUMMARY:
Blue
Planet Strategies submitted a complete
application for an EFP on May 15, 2021
for an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) to
conduct fishing activities that Federal
regulations would otherwise restrict.
The purpose of this study is to test
technologies for sub-surface gear
marking and gear tracking technologies
and prototypes for acoustic release of
bottom stowed lift bags or vertical lines
for retrieving fishing gear used in the
New England groundfish, monkfish, and
American lobster and Jonah crab
fisheries for the purpose of reducing
buoy line interactions with marine

mammals. This EFP would authorize up
to 9 participating vessels in 2021 and 12
participating vessels in 2022 to test
ropeless systems in the Gulf of Maine
Regulated Mesh Area (gillnet) and
Lobster Management Areas 1 and 3
(lobster trap/pot). Blue Planet Strategies
is requesting exemptions from the
following requirements:
1. Gear marking requirements at 50
CFR 697.21(b)(2) to allow for the use of
a single buoy marker on a trawl of more
than three traps; and
2. Gear marking requirements at
§ 648.84(b) to allow for the use of a
single buoy marker on a gillnet.
The participating gillnet fishermen
typically fish 21 nets not longer than
300 ft (91.44 m). One end of the gillnet
will be marked according to regulations,
the other end will test a lift bag system.
The participating lobster harvesters fish
between 2 and 45 traps per trawl in
depths ranging from 50 to 300 ft (15.24
to 91.44 m). One end of approximately
4 trawls per vessel will be marked
according to regulations, the other end
will use either a lift bag system, a buoy
and stowed rope system, or a spooled
rope system. Both gillnet and lobster
gear will test either acoustic or modem
gear marking technology. A maximum
of 100 gillnet deployments are
anticipated in 2021 and 140
deployments are expected in 2022, with
a soak time of 96 hours. A maximum of
200 lobster trap trawl deployments are
anticipated in 2021 and 800 are
expected in 2022, with a maximum soak
time of 4–8 days. Sampling would
largely occur from June to October in
both 2021 and 2022, though the permit
has been requested through December
2022. Initial deployments would be
overseen by an engineering team.
We published a proposed rule (85 FR
86878) on December 31, 2020 that
would modify the Atlantic Large Whale
Take Reduction Plan regulations at
§ 229. The proposed rule included a
new seasonal restricted area that falls
within Area 1 that would be closed to
buoy lines from October through
January but would allow ropeless
fishing. A final rule is expected to be
published later in 2021. Should the
closure be implemented and should
investigators wish to access this area,
additional EFP terms and conditions
may be required.
If approved, Blue Planet Strategies
may request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
study. EFP modifications and
extensions may be granted without
further notice if they are deemed
essential to facilitate completion of the
proposed research and have minimal
impacts that do not change the scope or

request. Any fishing activity conducted
outside the scope of the exempted
fishing activity would be prohibited.

I. OMD–33, Ensuring Workplace Health
and Safety in Response to a Public
Health Emergency
The FCC is establishing OMD–33,
Ensuring Workplace Health and Safety
in Response to a Public Health
Emergency, a system of records under
the Privacy Act of 1974. The FCC is
committed to providing all FCC staff
with a safe and healthy work
environment and to that end it may
develop and institute additional safety
measures in response to a public health
emergency. These measures may
include instituting activities such as
requiring FCC staff and visitors to
provide information before being
allowed access to an FCC facility,
medical screening, and contact tracing.
Contact tracing conducted by FCC staff
may involve collecting information
about FCC staff and visitors who are
exhibiting symptoms or who have tested
positive for an infectious disease in
order to identify and notify other FCC
staff and visitors with whom they may
have come into contact and who may
have been exposed. Moreover, the FCC
will use contact tracing data to submit
required reports to local public health
officials, in accordance with local
public health mandates.
Information will be collected and
maintained in accordance with the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and
regulations and guidance published by
the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission,
and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
II. The Privacy Act
Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is
defined as a group of any records under
the control of a Federal government
agency from which information about
individuals is retrieved by name or by
some identifying number, symbol, or
other identifying particular assigned to
the individual. The Privacy Act
establishes the means by which
government agencies must collect,
maintain, and use information about an
individual in a government system of
records.
Each government agency is required
to publish a notice in the Federal
Register in which the agency identifies
and describes each system of records it
maintains, the reasons why the agency
uses the information therein, the routine
uses for which the agency will disclose
such information outside the agency,
and how individuals may exercise their
rights under the Privacy Act.
