supplied that non-China exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interest Parties
These preliminary results of
administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: August 31, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations.

marine debris removal data collection
page. The title of this information
collection will be changed from NOAA

Progress Report to NOAA Financial
Assistance Performance Progress
Reports to encompass all collections of
information under the control number.
This information collection assists the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) in the
administration and evaluation of
financial assistance awards made by the
Coral Reef Conservation Program
(CRCP), the NOAA Restoration Center
(NOAA RC), and NOAA Marine Debris
Program. Every year each of these
programs support a variety of initiatives
specific to their individual
authorizations and programmatic
mandates. This support is made
substantially through grants and
cooperative agreements, the terms and
conditions of which require regular

progress reporting and communication
of project accomplishments to the
agency. This information collection
identifies what is to be provided in
these reports, and aims to assist
recipients in fulfilling their
responsibilities in meeting interim and
final progress report requirements. This
information is also necessary for NOAA
to effectively oversee the expenditure of
public funds awarded through these
programs, to ensure both costeffectiveness and programmatic goals
are met.
The NOAA RC provides technical and
financial assistance to identify, develop,
implement, and evaluate communitydriven habitat restoration projects.
Awards are made as grants or
cooperative agreements under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act of 2006, 16 U.S.C. 1891a and the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, 16
U.S.C. 661, as amended by the
Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970.
The NOAA CRCP operates under
authorization from the Coral Reef
Conservation Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C.
6401 et seq.). This Act was enacted on
December 14, 2000, to preserve, sustain
and restore the condition of coral reef
ecosystems; to promote the wise
management and sustainable use of
coral reef ecosystems to benefit local
communities and the Nation; to develop
sound scientific information on the
condition of coral reef ecosystems and
the threats to such ecosystems; to assist
in the preservation of coral reefs by
supporting conservation programs,
including projects that involve affected
local communities and nongovernmental organizations; to provide
financial resources for those programs
and projects; and to establish a formal
mechanism for the collecting and
allocating of monetary donations from
the private sector to be used for coral
reef conservation projects.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program
(MDP) supports national and
international efforts to research,
prevent, and reduce the impacts of
marine debris. The MDP uses
partnerships with state and local
agencies, tribes, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and industry to
investigate and solve the problems that
stem from marine debris through
research, prevention, and reduction
activities, in order to protect and
conserve our nation’s marine
environment and coastal economies,
and to ensure navigation safety. In large
part, these partnerships are made
through grants, cooperative agreements,
contracts, MOUs or are simply informal
technical assistance arrangements. The

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to
Specified Activities; Taking Marine
Mammals Incidental to the Relocation
of the Port of Alaska’s South Floating
Dock, Anchorage, Alaska
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental
harassment authorization.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
regulations implementing the Marine
Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as
amended, notification is given that
NMFS has issued an incidental
harassment authorization (IHA) to the
Port of Alaska (POA) to incidentally
harass, by Level B harassment and Level
A harassment, marine mammals during
pile driving associated with the
relocation of the POA’s South Floating
Dock (SFD) within Knik Arm, in upper
Cook Inlet, Alaska.
DATES: This Authorization is effective
from August 27, 2021 through August
26, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Reny Tyson Moore, Office of Protected
Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401.
Electronic copies of the application and
supporting documents, as well as a list
of the references cited in this document,

of problems accessing these documents,
please call the contact listed above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and
(D) of the 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 an incidental
take authorization may be provided to
the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the

PO 00000

taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of the species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to in shorthand as
‘‘mitigation’’); and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of the takings are set forth.
The definitions of all applicable MMPA
statutory terms cited above are included
in the relevant sections below.
Summary of Request
On October 2, 2020, NMFS received a
request from the POA for an IHA to take
marine mammals incidental to pile
driving associated with the relocation of
the SFD within Knik Arm in upper Cook
Inlet, Alaska. Revised applications were
submitted by the POA on December 15,
2020, January 29, 2021, February 5,
2021, and March 5, 2021 that addressed
comments provided by NMFS. The
application was deemed adequate and
complete on March 17, 2021. Additional
revised applications were submitted on
March 26, 2021, which addressed typos,
and May 14 2021, which adjusted
transmission loss rates based on the
final Petroleum Cement Terminal (PCT)
Hydroacoustic Monitoring Report for
activities completed in 2020 (Reyff et
al., 2021). The POA requested, and
NMFS has authorized, take of a small
number of six species of marine
mammals by Level B harassment and
Level A harassment. Neither the POA
nor NMFS expects serious injury or
mortality to result from this activity, nor
did NMFS authorize any. Therefore, an
IHA is appropriate.
NMFS previously issued IHAs to the
POA for pile driving (73 FR 41318, July
18, 2008; 74 FR 35136, July 20, 2009; 81
FR 15048, March 21, 2016; and 85 FR
19294, April 06, 2020). The POA has
complied with the requirements (e.g.,
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting) of
all previous IHAs and information
regarding their monitoring results may
be found in the Effects of the Specified
Activity on Marine Mammals and their
Habitat and Estimated Take sections.
Description of Specified Activity
The POA is modernizing its marine
terminals through the Port of Alaska
Modernization Program (PAMP). One of
