square inch (i.e., W1.4 or D1.4 is .014 square
inches).
Smooth wire is wire that has a uniform
cross-sectional diameter throughout the
length of the wire.
Deformed wire is wire with indentations or
raised transverse ribs, which results in wire
that does not have a uniform cross-sectional
diameter throughout the length of the wire.

the following styles and nominal width and
length combinations:

To the extent a roll or sheet of welded wire
mesh falls within the permissible variations
provided above, it is within this scope.
In addition to the tolerances permitted in
ASTM specification A1064/A1064M, wire
mesh within this scope includes
combinations where:
1. A width and/or length combination
varies by ± one grid size in any direction, i.e.,
± 6 inches in length or width where the wire
mesh’s grid size is ‘‘6X6’’; and/or
2. The center-to-center spacing between
individual wires may vary by up to one
quarter of an inch from the nominal grid size
specified.
Length is measured from the ends of any
wire and width is measured between the
center-line of end longitudinal wires.
Additionally, although the subject wire
mesh typically meets ASTM A1064/A1064M,
the failure to include certifications, test
reports or other documentation establishing
that the product meets this specification does
not remove the product from the scope. Wire
mesh made to comparable foreign
specifications (e.g., DIN, JIS, etc.) or
proprietary specifications is included in the
scope.

Any product imported, sold, or invoiced in
one of these size combinations is within the
scope.
ASTM specification A1064/A1064M
provides for permissible variations in wire
gauges, the spacing between transverse and
longitudinal wires, and the length and width
combinations. To the extent a roll or sheet of
welded wire mesh falls within these
permissible variations, it is within this scope.
ASTM specification A1064/A1064M also
defines permissible oversteeling, which is the
use of a heavier gauge wire with a larger
cross-sectional area than nominally specified.
It also permits a wire diameter tolerance of
± 0.003 inches for products up to W5/D5 and
± 0.004 for sizes over W5/D5. A producer
may oversteel by increasing smooth or
deformed wire diameter up to two whole
number size increments on Table 1 of A1064.
Subject wire mesh has the following actual
wire diameter ranges, which account for both
oversteeling and diameter tolerance:
Maximum

Excluded from the scope is wire mesh that
is galvanized (i.e., coated with zinc) or coated
with an epoxy coating. In order to be
excluded as galvanized, the excluded welded
wire mesh must have a zinc coating thickness
meeting the requirements of ASTM
specification A641/A641M. Epoxy coating is
a mix of epoxy resin and hardener that can
be applied to the surface of steel wire.
Merchandise subject to this investigation
are classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
categories 7314.20.0000 and 7314.39.0000.
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic
HMS fisheries are managed under the
dual authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.) and the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 et
seq.). The 2006 Consolidated Atlantic
HMS Fishery Management Plan (2006
Consolidated HMS FMP) and its
amendments are implemented by
regulations at 50 CFR part 635.
The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires
the establishment of APs and requires
NMFS to consult with and consider the
comments and views of AP members
during the preparation and
implementation of FMPs or FMP
amendments. 16 U.S.C. 1854(g)(1)(A)–
(B). NMFS meets with the HMS AP
approximately twice each year to
consider potential alternatives for the
conservation and management of
Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish, and
shark fisheries, consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act.
For this meeting, we anticipate
discussing:
• Bluefin tuna fisheries management,
including multiple sessions dedicated to
Draft Amendment 13;
• The progress regarding a Report to
Congress on an ‘‘assessment of fishing
interference’’ by sharks and dolphins on
commercial, charter, and recreational
fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and South
Atlantic as directed by the 2021
Appropriations Act Joint Explanatory
Statement;
• The HMS best scientific
information available (BSIA) framework
draft document;
• The progress regarding spatial
management models and
considerations;

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy Hapeman or Shasta McClenahan,
Ph.D., (301) 427–8401.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226), and the Fur Seal
Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151
et seq.).
The applicant proposes to monitor
cetacean population trends, abundance,
distribution, and health in the North
Pacific Ocean, the Bering, Beaufort, and
Chukchi Seas, and Gulf of Maine.
Researchers would study 20 species of
cetaceans including endangered and
threatened blue (Balaenoptera
musculus), bowhead (Balaena
mysticetus), Cook Inlet beluga
(Delphinapterus leucas), fin
(Balaenoptera physalus), gray
(Eschrichtius robustus), humpback
(Megaptera novaeangliae), North Pacific
right (Eubalaena japonica), sei
(Balaenoptera borealis), Southern
Resident killer (Orcinus orca), and
sperm (Physeter macrocephalus)
whales. Researchers would conduct
vessel and aerial (crewed and
uncrewed) surveys for observations,
counts, photography/videography
(underwater, topside, and aerial),
photogrammetry, photo-identification,
biological sampling (exhaled air, feces,
blubber and skin, sloughed skin, eDNA,
and prey remains), invasive and noninvasive tagging, and active acoustics.
Biological samples collected on the high
seas would be imported to the United
States. Up to nine species of pinnipeds
could be unintentionally harassed
during surveys. See the take tables for
specific numbers and life stages
requested for each species. The permit
would be valid for five years.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
