On November 28, 2005, the United States Court of International Trade (``CIT'') issued an order sustaining the Department of Commerce's (``the Department'') Second Remand Results. See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, Globe Metallurgical, Inc. vs. United States, Consol. Ct. No. 03-00202 (October 21, 2005) (available at https://www.ia.ita.doc.gov) (``Second Remand Results''); see also, Globe Metallurgical, Inc. v. United States, Slip Op. 05-150 (CIT November 28, 2005) (``Globe Metallurgical III''). In the First Remand Results, the Department recalculated the antidumping margins for Bratsk Aluminum Smelter and Rual Trade Limited (collectively, ``Bratsk'') and ZAO Kremny and SUAL-Kremny-Ural Ltd. (collectively, ``Kremny'') to value the respondents' usage of recycled silicon metal sized zero to five millimeters. See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, Globe Metallurgical, Inc. v. United States, Consol. Ct. No. 03-00202 (January 5, 2005) (available at https://www.ia.ita.doc.gov) (``First Remand Results''). In the Second Remand Results, the Department recalculated the adverse facts available (``AFA'') portion of Kremny's antidumping duty margin using the revised antidumping duty margin for Bratsk calculated in the First Remand Results. Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``Federal Circuit'') in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (``Timken''), the Department is notifying the public that the Globe Metallurgical III decision is ``not in harmony'' with the Department's final determination.
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Commercial Shark Management Measures
Document Number: 05-24028
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-12-14
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS has decided not to initiate the rulemaking requested by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries (Petitioner), to amend the current time/ area closure for Atlantic sharks off the Mid-Atlantic region. NMFS does not have any new information to support the Petitioner's proposal of a closure inside of 15 fathoms along the North Carolina coast nor the assertion that such a closure would still attain the management goal of protecting juvenile sandbar and prohibited dusky sharks. NMFS will consider new information concerning the impacts of the current time/area closure (which has been in place for one time period from January 1 to July 31, 2005) and the results of upcoming large coastal shark (LCS) and dusky shark stock assessments to determine whether changes to the time/area closure are appropriate. In addition, NMFS will monitor any changes to shark regulations by coastal states and will continue to work with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) in terms of development of an interstate shark plan, which may warrant a review of existing Federal regulations and consideration of further changes to the time/area closure.
