As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (``PC Strand'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the level indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting the sixth administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel nails (``nails'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The Department selected two respondents for individual review.\2\ The Department preliminarily determines that Stanley sold subject merchandise in the United States at prices below normal value (``NV'') during the period of review (``POR''), August 1, 2013, through July 31, 2014. The Department also preliminarily determines that Shandong Oriental Cherry failed to cooperate to the best of its ability in participating in the review, warranting the application of facts otherwise available with adverse inferences, and that it is part of the PRC-wide entity. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

NMFS has received an application from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Lamont-Doherty) in collaboration with the National Science Foundation (NSF), for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (Authorization) to take marine mammals, by harassment only, incidental to conducting a marine geophysical (seismic) survey in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, mid-November through December, 2015. The proposed dates for this action would be mid-November 2015 through December 31, 2015, to account for minor deviations due to logistics and weather. Per the Marine Mammal Protection Act, we are requesting comments on our proposal to issue an Authorization to Lamont-Doherty to incidentally take, by Level B harassment, of 22 species of marine mammals during the specified activity and to incidentally take by Level A harassment, of four species of marine mammals. Although considered unlikely, any Level A harassment potentially incurred would be expected to be in the form of some smaller degree of permanent hearing loss due in part to the required monitoring measures for detecting marine mammals and required mitigation measures for power downs or shut downs of the airgun array if any animal is likely to enter the Level A exclusion zone. Neither mortality nor complete deafness of marine mammals are expected to result from this survey.
