Date: 2014-07-03
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS announces the receipt of an application for an exempted fishing permit (EFP) from the Alabama Charter Fishing Association cooperative (ACFAC). The ACFAC proposes to evaluate the efficacy of an allocation-based management system, using a limited number of charter vessels in a 2-year pilot study. This study, to be conducted in the exclusive economic zone of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), is intended to assess whether such a system can better achieve conservation goals established in the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico; evaluate the effectiveness of a more timely electronic data reporting system; and evaluate the potential social and economic benefits of an alternative management strategy for the charter vessel segment of the recreational fishing sector within the Gulf reef fish fishery.

Based on the information received, we further preliminarily determine that Navneet Education is the successor-in- interest to Navneet Publications (India) Ltd.

Document Number: 2014-15680

Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (``AD'') orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod (``wire rod'') from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that revocation of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on wire rod from Brazil would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. The U.S. International Trade Commission (the ``USITC'') also determined that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States. The Department is publishing this notice of the continuation of these AD and CVD orders.
