event of an affirmative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s
regulations requires that a request by
exporters for postponement of the final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period not more than six months in
duration.
Between October 21 and 23, 2024,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), OMSA,
Pertama, and the petitioners each
requested that Commerce postpone the
final determination and that provisional
measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months.15 In accordance with
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
make its final determination no later
than 135 days after the date of
publication of this preliminary
determination.
U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
its preliminary determination. If the
final determination is affirmative, the
ITC will determine before the later of
120 days after the date of this
preliminary determination or 45 days
after the final determination whether
these imports are materially injuring, or
threaten material injury to, the U.S.
industry.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers all
forms and sizes of ferrosilicon, regardless of
grade, including ferrosilicon briquettes.
Ferrosilicon is a ferroalloy containing by
weight four percent or more iron, more than
eight percent but not more than 96 percent
silicon, three percent or less phosphorus, 30
percent or less manganese, less than three
percent magnesium, and 10 percent or less of
any other element. The merchandise covered
also includes product described as slag, if the
product meets these specifications.
Subject merchandise includes material
matching the above description that has been
finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in
a third country, including by performing any
grinding or any other finishing, packaging, or
processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigation if performed in the country of
manufacture of the ferrosilicon.
Ferrosilicon is currently classifiable under
subheadings 7202.21.1000, 7202.21.5000,
7202.21.7500, 7202.21.9000, 7202.29.0010,

review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
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 June 17,

Title: Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and
Butterfish Amendment 14 Data
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0679.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 10,035.
Average Hours per Response: Pre-trip
notification to observer program, 5
minutes; Trip Cancellation notification
to observer program, 1 minute; Released
Catch Affidavit, 5 minutes; and Vessel
Permit Swap Form, 5 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 766
hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
renewal of an approved information
collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, the Secretary of Commerce has the
responsibility for the conservation and
management of marine fishery
resources. Much of this responsibility
has been delegated to the NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). Under this stewardship role,
the Secretary was given certain
regulatory authorities to ensure the most
beneficial uses of these resources. One
of the regulatory steps taken to care out
the conservation and management
objectives is to collect information from
users of the resources.
This collection requires limited access
mackerel and longfin squid/butterfish
moratorium permit holders to bring all
catch aboard the vessel and make it
available for sampling by an observer. If
catch is not made available to an
observer before discard, that catch is
defined as slippage, and the vessel
operator must complete a ‘‘Released
Catch Affidavit’’ form within 48 hours
of the end of the fishing trip which
details why catch was slipped, estimates
the quantity and species composition of

E:\FR\FM\06NON1.SGM

06NON1

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Notices
the slipped catch, and records the time
and location of the slipped catch.
This collection also requires any
vessel with a limited access mackerel
permit intending to land over 20,000 lb
of mackerel to contact NMFS at least 48
hours in advance of a fishing trip to
request an observer. Vessels currently
contact NMFS via phone, and selection
notices or waivers are issued by NMFS
via VMS. If service providers are unable
to provide coverage, an owner, operator,
or vessel manager may request a waiver
by calling the Northeast Fisheries
Observer Program. Additionally, if a
fishing trip is cancelled, vessels must
notify NMFS of the cancelled trip to
prevent observers from being deployed
to a cancelled trip.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individual or
households, state, local, or tribal
government.
Frequency: Pre-trip notification to
observer program, on occasion; Trip
Cancellation notification to observer
program, on occasion; Released Catch
Affidavit, on occasion; and Vessel
Permit Swap Form, maximum of once.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The MagnusonStevens Fishery Management and
Conservation Act.

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
