of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.8
On December 7, 2023, Commerce
notified all interested parties of its
intent to rescind the instant review
because there were no reviewable,
suspended entries of subject
merchandise by any of the companies
subject to this review during the POR
and invited interested parties to
comment.9 We did not receive any
comments.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is
Commerce’s practice to rescind an
administrative review of an AD order
when there are no reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.10
Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended
entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.11 Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended
entry that Commerce can instruct CBP
to liquidate at the AD assessment rate
calculated for the review period.12 As
noted above, there were no entries of
subject merchandise for the companies
subject to this review during the POR.
Accordingly, in the absence of
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR, we are
hereby rescinding this administrative
review, in its entirety, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this rescission notice in
the Federal Register.

Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,876
hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska
Region, is requesting extension of a
currently approved information
collection for the Pacific halibut charter
fishery off Alaska.
Management of and regulations for
Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus
stenolepis) in Alaska are developed on
the international, Federal, and state
levels by the International Pacific
Halibut Commission (IPHC), the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council,
the NMFS Alaska Region, and the State
of Alaska Department of Fish and Game
(ADF&G). The IPHC and NMFS manage
fishing for Pacific halibut through
regulations established under authority
of the Convention between the United
States Halibut Fishery of the Northern
Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, the
Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 (16
U.S.C. 773), and section 303(b) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
NMFS manages the charter halibut
fishery off Alaska under the Charter
Halibut Limited Access Program
(CHLAP; 75 FR 554, January 5, 2010)
and the Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing
Plan (CSP; 78 FR 75844, December 12,
2013). This information collection is
necessary for NMFS to manage and
administer the charter halibut fishery
under the CHLAP and the CSP.
Regulations that implement this
information collection are at 50 CFR 300
subpart E and 50 CFR 679.5(l)(7).
Information on the CHLAP and the CSP
is on the NMFS Alaska Region website
at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/
alaska/resources-fishing/sport-halibutfishing-alaska.
The CHLAP established new Federal
Charter Halibut Permits (CHPs) for
operators in the sport charter halibut
fishery in IPHC regulatory Areas 2C
(Southeast Alaska) and 3A (Central Gulf
of Alaska). All charter halibut vessel
operators in Areas 2C and 3A with
clients on board must have a valid CHP
PO 00000

on board during every charter vessel
fishing trip. As the period to obtain a
CHP, other than a military CHP or
community CHP, ended in 2010, CHPs
may now only be obtained through
transfer. This information collection
contains the applications used to
annually register CHPs, to apply for new
military CHPs, and to transfer CHPs.
The application for a community CHP is
approved under OMB Control Number
0648–0665. Information collected by
these applications includes permit
holder information or applicant
information, and depending on the
form, may include CHP identification,
CHP ownership information and
affiliation, a survey question on the use
of the CHP, and transaction information
for transfer of a CHP.
The CSP authorizes annual transfers
of commercial halibut individual fishing
quota (IFQ) as guided angler fish (GAF)
to qualified CHP holders for harvest by
charter vessel anglers in Area 2C or 3A.
GAF enables CHP holders to lease a
limited amount of IFQ from commercial
quota shareholders to allow charter
vessel anglers to harvest halibut in
addition to, or instead of, the halibut
harvested under the daily bag limit for
charter anglers.
This information collection includes
the application used to transfer Area 2C
or 3A commercial halibut IFQ to a CHP
holder for use as GAF or for the CHP
holder to return unused GAF to the IFQ
permit holder from which it was
obtained. Information collected by this
application includes permit holder
information, IFQ permit information,
CHP information, GAF permit
information, and transaction
information. NMFS, on approving the
transfer of IFQ to GAF, issues a GAF
permit, which authorizes the holder to
allow charter vessel anglers to retain
GAF halibut caught in the IPHC
regulatory area specified on the permit.
This information collection also
includes the GAF landing report and the
GAF permit log. The GAF landing report
is submitted by GAF permit holders and
collects information on each GAF
halibut retained by an angler on a
charter vessel fishing trip in Area 2C or
3A. The GAF permit log is printed on
the back of each GAF permit and is used
by the permit holder to record the GAF
landing report confirmation number and
information on GAF halibut after a trip
in which GAF halibut were retained.
If a GAF permit holder is unable to
submit the GAF landings report
electronically due to hardware,
software, or internet failure for a period
longer than the required reporting time,
or a correction must be made to
information already submitted, the
