Performance Steels Ltd. and Tata Steel
UK Ltd.5 Commerce received no other
requests for an administrative review of
this antidumping duty order.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review ‘‘in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review.’’ The
petitioners withdrew their request for
review within 90-days of the
publication date of the Initiation Notice.
Because we received no other requests
for review of Liberty Performance Steels
Ltd. and Tata Steel UK Ltd., and no
other requests for the review of the
order on CR Steel from the UK with
respect to other companies subject to
the order, we are rescinding the
administrative review of the order in its
entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce intends to instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of CR Steel products
from the UK during the POR at rates
equal to the cash deposit rate of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Alaska Region Gear
Identification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0353.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
extension of an approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 827.
Average Hours per Response: Marking
longline pot gear marker buoys and
groundfish hook-and-line marker buoys,
15 minutes per buoy; 1 hour each for the
Vessel Registration and Request for IFQ
Sablefish Pot Gear Tags form and for the
Request for Replacement of Longline Pot
Gear Tags form.
Burden Hours: 1,586.
Needs and Uses: Regulations
pertaining to gear markings are set forth
at 50 CFR part 679 and in the annual
management measures published in the
Federal Register pursuant to 50 CFR
300.62. This information collection
contains the following gear
identification requirements for
participants in the groundfish fisheries
in the Exclusive Economic Zone off
Alaska and for vessels using longline
pot gear to fish for individual fishing
quota (IFQ) sablefish in the Gulf of
Alaska (GOA).

Frm 00006

Fmt 4703

All hook-and-line, longline pot, and
pot-and-line marker buoys carried on
board or used by any vessel regulated
under 50 CFR part 679 must be marked
with the vessel’s Federal Fisheries
Permit number or Alaska Department of
Fish and Game vessel registration
number. Regulations that marker buoys
be marked with identification
information are essential to facilitate
fisheries enforcement and actions
concerning damage, loss, and civil
proceedings. The ability to link fishing
gear to the vessel owner or operator is
crucial to enforcement of regulations.

Sfmt 4703

A vessel owner using longline pot
gear to fish for IFQ sablefish in the GOA
must annually register their vessel with
the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and be assigned pot tags for that
vessel. Vessel registration and the use of
pot tags provide NMFS with an
additional enforcement tool to ensure
that the pot limits are not exceeded. The
use of pot tags requires a uniquely
identified tag to be securely affixed to
each pot, which allows at-sea
enforcement and post-trip verification of
the number of pots fished. NMFS uses
information obtained from respondents
applying for replacement tags to
enforcement of pot limits and enhance
tracking of lost fishing gear.
Vessel owners submit the form
‘‘Vessel Registration and Request for
IFQ Sablefish Pot Gear Tags’’ to
annually register their vessels and to
request new pot tags if a vessel does not
have previously issued tags. Tags
assigned to a vessel in previous years
are valid as long as the tag can be
secured to a pot and the serial number
is legible. Vessel owners submit the
form ‘‘Request for Replacement of
Longline Pot Gear Tags’’ if previously
issued tags have been lost, stolen, or
mutilated and need to be replaced.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Annually; On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to
Specified Activities; Taking Marine
Mammals Incidental to the South Quay
Wall Recapitalization Project, Mayport,
Florida
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; issuance of incidental
harassment authorization.
AGENCY:

NMFS has received a request
from the United States Navy (Navy) for
the re-issuance of a previously issued
incidental harassment authorization
(IHA) with the change being a minor
modification to the effective dates. The
initial IHA authorizes take of one
species of marine mammal, by Level B
harassment only, incidental to pile
driving associated with the South Quay
Wall Recapitalization Project, Naval
Station Mayport, Florida. The project
has been delayed and none of the work
covered in the initial IHA has been
conducted. The initial IHA has an
effective period from February 15, 2020,
through February 14, 2021. The Navy
has requested re-issuance with new
effective dates of July 1, 2020 through
June 30, 2021. The scope of the
activities and anticipated effects remain
the same, authorized take numbers are
not changed, and the required
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
remains the same as included in the
initial IHA. Therefore, NMFS re-issued
the IHA.
DATES: This authorization is effective
from July 1, 2020, through June 30,
2021.
ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the
initial IHA, the Navy’s initial IHA’s
application, and the Federal Register
notices proposing and issuing the initial
IHA may be obtained by visiting https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Jkt 250001

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA;
16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct the
Secretary of Commerce (as delegated to
NMFS) 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.
The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’
means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or
attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill
any marine mammal.
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).
Summary of Request
On July 26, 2019, NMFS issued an
IHA authorizing take of marine
mammals incidental to the South Quay
Wall Recapitalization Project, Mayport,
Florida (84 FR 37841; August 2, 2019).

The effective dates of that IHA are
February 15, 2020 through February 14,
2021. On December 2, 2019, the Navy
informed NMFS that the project was
delayed such that work would not begin
until July 2020 (i.e., no work would
occur between February and July 2020).
As such, the Navy requested NMFS reissue the IHA with a new effective
period of July 1, 2020, through June 30,
2021. No other changes to the IHA were
requested.
However, with the reissuance request,
the Navy notified us that they intend to
use a different pile type to construct the
new South Quay wall. For reasons
described below, we verified use of this
pile type will result in a smaller
ensonified area during vibratory pile
driving and the same ensonified area for
impact pile driving (resulting in the
same or fewer takes than previously
authorized in the initial IHA). All of the
other aspects of the activity (e.g.,
number of pile driving days) would
remain identical and, therefore, no
changes to take numbers, species taken,
or monitoring, mitigation, or reporting
measures are necessary. That is, the
potential impacts to marine mammals
from the proposed work are the same as
were previously analyzed. As such,
NMFS determined reissuance is
appropriate and NMFS has re-issued the
IHA. The reissued IHA is identical to
the one issued previously, with the
exception of the effective dates, and all
of the necessary MMPA findings have
been made.
Summary of Specified Activity and
Anticipated Impacts
The specified activity for which take
is authorized in the reissued IHA
remains the same as the initial IHA (i.e.,
vibratory and impact pile driving). All
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
measures, amount of authorized
incidental take, and anticipated impacts
on the affected stocks are the same as
those analyzed and authorized through
the previously issued IHA.
The purpose of the project is to
support the existing bulkhead wall that
has been weakened by the formation of
voids within the wall. To construct the
new wall, the Navy initially proposed it
would install 240 individual sheet piles
over the course of 35 days, averaging 7
to 10 sheet piles installed per day, with
a maximum of 15 individual piles
installed per day. The Navy has since
notified NMFS they have changed the
design from an all sheet-pile bulkhead
to an alternating sheet pile/king pile
bulkhead. The king piles are comparable
to the king piles installed at Mayport’s
C–2 Wharf and monitored during sound
source verification tests for that work.
