Background 

On September 1, 2020, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on steel racks 

from China for the period December 3, 

2018, through December 31, 2019.1 On 

September 30, 2020, Nanjing Dongsheng 

Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd. 

(Dongsheng), filed a timely request for 

review, in accordance with section 

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(b).2 Pursuant to this request 

and in accordance with section 751(a) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 

initiated an administrative review of 

Dongsheng.3 No other requests for 

review were received. On November 17, 

2020, Dongsheng timely withdrew its 

request for an administrative review.4

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the party 

that requested the review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. As noted above, 

Dongsheng, the only party to file a 

request for review, withdrew this 

request by the 90-day deadline. 

Accordingly, we are rescinding, in its 

entirety, the administrative review of 

the countervailing duty order on steel 

racks from China covering the period 

December 3, 2018, through December 

31, 2019. 

Assessment 

Commerce intends to instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of steel racks from 

China. Countervailing duties shall be 

assessed at rates equal to the cash 

deposit of estimated countervailing 

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 the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the presumption that 

reimbursement of countervailing duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled countervailing duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to all parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. 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. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HLA 

applied for an EFP under the authority 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
78998 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 8, 2020 / Notices 

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act and 

regulations at 50 CFR 665.17. HLA 

would test the use of tori lines in the 

Hawaii deep-set longline fishery, 

without using strategic offal discharge 

(discharging bait and fish offal) when 

seabirds are present or blue-dyed bait, 

both of which are normally required 

while deploying longline gear (setting) 

north of 23° N (50 CFR 665.815(a)(2)). If 

approved, the EFP would allow up to 

four stern-setting vessels to test tori 

lines north of 23° N. The EFP would be 

effective for no longer than one year 

from the date of issuance, unless earlier 

revoked, suspended, or modified. 

Nearly all of the seabird interactions 

observed in the fishery are with blackfooted and Laysan albatrosses. 

Interaction rates for both species are 

higher in the first and second quarters 

(January through June). Accordingly, the 

applicant would focus fishing effort 

during periods of higher seabird 

abundance, as practicable. 

In 2017, the Western Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Council) held a 

workshop to explore the cause of higher 

than typical fishery interactions with 

black-footed albatross. The workshop 

suggested that a positive (warm) Pacific 

Decadal Oscillation, with its cooler sea 

surface in the western Pacific and 

stronger westerly winds, may increase 

the overlap of fishing effort and blackfooted albatross foraging grounds, 

leading to more seabird interactions in 

the fishery. 

In 2018, the Council held a workshop 

to review seabird mitigation 

requirements and identify research 

needed to inform future fishing 

requirements to reduce interactions 

with seabirds. That workshop identified 

certain mitigation measures, including 

tori lines, as a high priority for further 

research and development due to their 

potential to provide an effective 

alternative to blue-dyed bait. Workshop 

participants also identified blue-dyed 

bait as a candidate for removal from the 

existing suite of seabird mitigation 

measures due to concerns with efficacy 

and practicality. 

The Council recommended the EFP 

research at its September 2020 meeting, 

based on results from a cooperative 

research project conducted in 2019– 

2020. Results from that project had 

indicated that tori lines, when used in 

conjunction with blue-dyed bait, 

significantly reduced albatross feeding 

attempts and contact with longline gear. 

Project results also indicated the 

potential for offal discharge to increase 

bird interactions during gear setting. 

The project results led the Council to 

identify the need for additional research 

to test the effectiveness of tori lines 

without blue-dyed bait and strategic 

offal discharge. 

With the exception of using tori lines 

without blue-dyed bait and strategic 

offal discharge, vessels participating 

under the EFP would carry out fishing 

operations consistent with conventional 

deep-set longline fishing targeting 

bigeye tuna, and would continue to 

employ all other required seabird 

mitigation measures, including 

weighted branch lines, line shooters, 

and safe handling practices. 

HLA anticipates that fishing under the 

EFP would have similar environmental 

impacts on target fish species, nontarget fish species, and non-seabird 

protected species to conventional deepset fishing, and hypothesizes that 

seabird interaction rates for the tori line 

treatment sets would be lower. The EFP 

application provides additional 

information about these anticipated 

impacts. 

Each vessel would carry an electronic 

monitoring system. A stern-mounted 

video camera would monitor the 

number of birds present, and seabird 

attacks and contacts, during gear setting. 

After a vessel returns to port, scientists 

would review the video recordings, and 

would verify seabird captures through 

logbook data. 

At the completion of the project, EFP 

findings would be available to support 

Council decision-making about 

measures to reduce seabird interactions. 

NMFS seeks comments on the 

proposed experimental activity. We will 

consider comments received when 

deciding whether to approve the permit, 

and whether to attach any additional 

terms and conditions.
