Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Notices

Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
As a result of our Preliminary
Determination, and pursuant to sections
703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act,
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash
deposits and suspend liquidation of
entries of subject merchandise as
described in the scope of the
investigation section entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after September 29,
2023, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination in the
Federal Register. The suspension of
liquidation ordered in the Preliminary
Determination will remain in effect
until further notice.
Additionally, pursuant to section
705(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), where appropriate,
Commerce will instruct CBP to require
a cash deposit equal to the estimated
individual countervailable subsidy rate
or the estimated all-others rate, as
indicated in the chart above, effective
on the date of publication of this final
determination.
If the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) issues a final
affirmative injury determination, we
will issue a countervailing duty order
and require a cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties for such entries of
subject merchandise in the amounts
indicated above, in accordance with
section 706(a) of the Act. If the ITC
determines that material injury, or
threat of material injury, does not exist,
this proceeding will be terminated, and
all estimated duties deposited or
securities posted as a result of the
suspension of liquidation will be
refunded or canceled.

final determination is affirmative, in
accordance with section 705(b) of the
Act, the ITC will determine, within 45
days, whether the domestic industry in
the United States is materially injured,
or threatened with material injury, by
reason of imports of brass rod from
India. In addition, we are making
available to the ITC all non-privileged
and non-proprietary information related
to this investigation. We will allow the
ITC access to all privileged and business
proprietary information in our files,
provided the ITC confirms that it will
not disclose such information, either
publicly or under an administrative
protective order (APO), without the
written consent of the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.
Administrative Protective Order
In the event that the ITC issues a final
negative injury determination, this
notice will serve as the only reminder
to parties subject to the APO of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation which is subject to
sanction.

diameter greater than 0.25 inches but less
than or equal to 12 inches. Brass rod crosssections may be round, hexagonal, square, or

conversion into brass rod without remelting,
that contains, by weight, at least 57.0 percent
copper and 15.0 percent zinc.
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is currently classifiable under

1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on October 4,
2023 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: U.S.-Canada Albacore Treaty
Reporting System.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0492.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 50.
Average Time per Response: Five
minutes for the request to be placed on
the eligible list per year; 3 hours for
required vessel markings; 10 minutes for
logbook entries; 5 minutes for each set
of two hail reports for border crossings
per year.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 20
hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension of a current information
collection. The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), West Coast
Region (WCR), manages the United
States (U.S.)—Canada Albacore Tuna
Treaty of 1981 (Treaty). Owners of
vessels that fish from U.S. West Coast
ports for albacore tuna (Thunnus
alalunga) are required to notify the
NMFS WCR of their desire to be on the
list of vessels provided to Canada each
year indicating vessels eligible to fish
for albacore tuna in waters under the
jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally,
vessel operators are required to report in
advance their intention to fish in
Canadian waters prior to crossing the
maritime border as well as to mark their
fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement
of the effort limits under the Treaty.
Vessel operators are also required to
maintain and submit a logbook of all
catch and fishing effort. The regulations
implementing the reporting and vessel
marking requirements under the Treaty
are at 50 CFR part 300.172–300.176. If
a vessel enters into Canadian waters
without adhering to these regulations,
they will be in violation of the treaty
and Canadian enforcement may issue a
fine or a warning.
The estimated burden below includes
hours to complete the logbook
requirement, although it is assumed that
most if not all of the respondents

already complete the required logbook
under the mandatory West Coast Highly
Migratory Species Fishery Management
Plan (HMS FMP), OMB Control No.
0648–0223. Duplicate reporting under
the Treaty and HMS FMP is not
required. Most years, there will be much
less fishing (and thus less reporting)
under the Treaty than the level on
which the estimate is based.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Annually.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
