Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for renewal of an
approved information collection. The
National Marine Fisheries Service,
Alaska Regional Office (NMFS AKR), is
the sponsor of this information
collection, which contains the
requirements for the annual participant
letter for the Aleutian Islands pollock
fishery.
NMFS AKR manages the groundfish
fisheries in the exclusive economic zone
of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area under the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (FMP). The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) authorizes the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council to
prepare and amend fishery management
plans for any fishery in waters under its
jurisdiction.
Amendment 82 to the FMP
established a framework for the
management of the Aleutian Islands
subarea (AI) directed pollock fishery.
Amendment 82 implemented a
provision of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2004 (Pub. L.
108–199, sec. 803) that requires the AI
directed pollock fishery be allocated to
The Aleut Corporation for the purpose
of economic development in Adak,
Alaska. The Aleut Corporation is
identified in Public Law 108–199 as a
business incorporated pursuant to the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The Aleut
Corporation’s AI pollock fishery is set
up so that harvesting pollock in the AI
directed pollock fishery and processing
pollock taken in the AI directed pollock
fishery are authorized only for those
harvesters and processors that are
selected by The Aleut Corporation and
approved by the NMFS Regional
Administrator.
The purpose of this collection is for
NMFS to obtain the list of vessels and
processors selected by The Aleut
Corporation to harvest and process its
annual AI pollock allocation. NMFS
uses this information to manage the AI
pollock fishery. Without this
information, NMFS would not know the
participants selected by The Aleut
Corporation and could not determine
E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM
05DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 234 / Thursday, December 5, 2024 / Notices
harvest rates, which may result in
allocations being exceeded.
The Aleut Corporation is required by
Federal regulations at 50 CFR
679.4(m)(2) to provide its selected
harvesters and processors to NMFS for
approval. The Aleut Corporation must
submit its selections to NMFS each year
at least 14 days before harvesting
pollock or processing pollock in the AI
directed pollock fishery. The
information submitted by The Aleut
Corporation consists of the names of the
harvesting vessels and processors it has
selected, the Federal fisheries permit
numbers or Federal processor permit
numbers of these participants, and the
fishing year for which approval is
requested. No information is submitted
in years that the Aleut Corporation will
not be harvesting or processing pollock
in the AI directed fishery.
On approval, NMFS sends The Aleut
Corporation a letter that includes a list
of the approved participants. A copy of
this letter must be retained on board
each participating vessel and on site
each shoreside processor at all times.
More information on the AI pollock
fishery is provided on the NMFS Alaska
Region website at https://www.fisheries.

II. Method of Collection
The participant letter may be
submitted to NMFS by mail, delivery,
email, or fax.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce 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.
Except with respect to certain
activities not pertinent here, the MMPA
defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: any act of
pursuit, torment, or annoyance which:
(i) has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has
the potential to disturb a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild by causing disruption of behavioral
patterns, including, but not limited to,
migration, breathing, nursing, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering (Level B
harassment).
