Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 61 / Thursday, March 28, 2024 / Notices
publication of the amended final results
of this review in the Federal Register.
If a timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following amended cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after February 23,
2024, the publication date of the Final
Results, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the amended
cash deposit rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in these amended final
results of review; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation but the
producer has been covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established in the completed
segment for the most recent period for
the producer of the merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 20.33 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation.7 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
amended final results in accordance
with sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

ACTION:
Notice; request for comments.
The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS, has
made a preliminary determination that
an exempted fishing permit renewal
application from the Massachusetts
Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF)
contains all of the required information
and warrants further consideration. The
exempted fishing permit (EFP) would
allow federally permitted fishing vessels
to fish outside fishery regulations in
support of exempted fishing activities
proposed by the applicant. Regulations
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the Atlantic Coastal Fisheries
Cooperative Management Act require
publication of this notification to
provide interested parties the
opportunity to comment on applications
for proposed exempted fishing permits.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on
or before April 12, 2024.
DATES:
You may submit written
comments by the following method:
• Email: nmfs.gar.efp@noaa.gov.

change the scope or impact of the
initially approved EFP request. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the

would be prohibited.

Project Narrative
The purpose of this survey is to
provide fishery-independent data on
lobster and Jonah crab growth and
abundance within Massachusetts State
waters of statistical areas 514 and 538.
MA DMF funds this lobster abundance
survey through their commercial and
recreational lobster license fees. This
survey has occurred annually since
2006. At least one MA DMF scientist
would be on board for the sampling
trips. MA DMF personnel would not be
on board when traps are baited and
deployed. Exemptions would not
substantively change vessel operations.
All catch during sampling trips would
be retained temporarily to collect
biological data. MA DMF staff may
collect lobster and/or Jonah crab,
including undersized, oversized, vnotched, and egg-bearing lobsters.
Collected samples would be used for
research projects on growth and
maturity. No catch from the
experimental traps would be landed for
sale. All gear would be Atlantic Large
Whale Take Reduction Plan compliant.
Survey traps will be separate from each
vessel’s commercial lobster traps and

Project Narrative
The purpose of this survey is to provide fishery-independent data
on lobster and Jonah crab growth and abundance within Massachusetts
State waters of statistical areas 514 and 538. MA DMF funds this
lobster abundance survey through their commercial and recreational
lobster license fees. This survey has occurred annually since 2006. At
least one MA DMF scientist would be on board for the sampling trips. MA
DMF personnel would not be on board when traps are baited and deployed.
Exemptions would not substantively change vessel operations. All catch
during sampling trips would be retained temporarily to collect

including undersized, oversized, v-notched, and egg-bearing lobsters.
Collected samples would be used for research projects on growth and

sale. All gear would be Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan
compliant. Survey traps will be separate from each vessel's commercial
lobster traps and would be tagged as, ``MA DMF Research Traps.''
If approved, the applicant may request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the year. EFP modifications and
extensions may be granted without further notice if they are deemed
essential to facilitate the completion of the proposed research and
