returned no entries during the POR.6

Additionally, we sent an inquiry to CBP 

requesting that any CBP officer alert 

Commerce if he/she had information 

contrary to TMI/TMM’s no-shipments 

claims.7

Based on the available record 

information, and consistent with our 

practice, we preliminarily determine 

that TMI/TMM had no shipments and, 

therefore, no reviewable entries during 

the POR. In addition, we find it is not 

appropriate to rescind the review with 

respect to these companies but, rather, 

to complete the review with respect to 

TMI/TMM and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review, consistent with 

our practice in non-market economy 

(NME) cases.8

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to Chinese 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese 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 duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement may result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This notice is issued in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Charmaine Weeks, 907–586–7231. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The rockfish fisheries are conducted 

in Federal waters near Kodiak, AK, by 

trawl and longline vessels. Regulations 

implementing the Rockfish Program are 

set forth at 50 CFR part 679. Exclusive 

harvesting privileges are allocated as 

quota share under the Rockfish Program 

for rockfish primary and secondary 

species. Each year, NMFS issues 

rockfish primary and secondary species 

cooperative quota (CQ) to rockfish quota 

shareholders to authorize harvest of 

these species. The rockfish primary 

species are northern rockfish, Pacific 

ocean perch, and dusky rockfish. In 

2012, dusky rockfish replaced the 

pelagic shelf rockfish species group in 

the GOA Groundfish Harvest 

Specifications (77 FR 15194, March 14, 

2012). The rockfish secondary species 

include Pacific cod, rougheye rockfish, 

shortraker rockfish, sablefish, and 

thornyhead rockfish. Rockfish 

cooperatives began fishing under the 

Rockfish Program on May 1, 2012. 

The Rockfish Program is a limited 

access privilege program established 

under the provisions of section 303A of 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). Sections 303A 

and 304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

require NMFS to collect fees to recover 

the actual costs directly related to the 

management, data collection and 

analysis, and enforcement of any 

limited access privilege program. 

Therefore, NMFS is required to collect 

fees for the Rockfish Program under 

sections 303A and 304(d)(2) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. Section 

304(d)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

also limits the cost recovery fee so that 

it may not exceed 3 percent of the exvessel value of the fish harvested under 

the Rockfish Program. 

Standard Prices 

NMFS calculates cost recovery fees 

based on standard ex-vessel value 

prices, rather than actual price data 

provided by each rockfish CQ holder. 

Use of standard ex-vessel prices is 

allowed under sections 303A and 

304(d)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

NMFS generates a standard ex-vessel 

price for each rockfish primary and 

secondary species on a monthly basis to 

determine the average price paid per 

pound for all shoreside processors 

receiving rockfish primary and 

secondary species CQ. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 679.85(b)(2) 

require the Regional Administrator to 

publish rockfish standard ex-vessel 

values during the first quarter of each 

calendar year. The standard prices are 

described in U.S. dollars per pound for 

rockfish primary and secondary species 

CQ landings made during the previous 

year. 

Fee Percentage 

NMFS assesses a fee on the standard 

ex-vessel value of rockfish primary 

species and rockfish secondary species 

CQ harvested by rockfish cooperatives 

in the Central GOA and waters adjacent 

to the Central GOA when rockfish 

primary species caught by a cooperative 

are deducted from the Federal total 

allowable catch. The rockfish entry level 

longline fishery and trawl vessels that 

opt out of joining a cooperative are not 

subject to cost recovery fees because 

those participants do not receive 

rockfish CQ. Specific details on the 

Rockfish Program’s cost recovery 

provision may be found in the 

implementing regulations set forth at 

§ 679.85. 

NMFS informs—by letter—each 

rockfish cooperative of the fee 

percentage applied to the previous 

year’s landings and the total amount 

due. Fees are due on or before February 

15 of each year. Failure to pay on time 

will result in the permit holder’s 

rockfish quota share becoming nontransferable, and the person will be 

ineligible to receive any additional 

rockfish quota share by transfer. In 

addition, cooperative members will not 

receive any rockfish CQ the following 

year until full payment of the fee is 

received by NMFS. 

NMFS calculates and publishes in the 

Federal Register the fee percentage in 

the first quarter of each year according 

to the factors and methods described in 

Federal regulations at § 679.85(c)(2). 

NMFS determines the fee percentage 

that applies to landings made in the 

previous year by dividing the total 

Rockfish Program management, data 

collection and analysis, and 

enforcement costs (direct program costs) 

during the previous year by the total 

standard ex-vessel value of the rockfish 

primary species and rockfish secondary 

species for all rockfish CQ landings 

made during the previous year (fishery 

value). NMFS captures the direct 

program costs through an established 

accounting system that allows staff to 

track labor, travel, contracts, rent, and 

procurement. Fee collections in any 

given year may be less than or greater 

than the direct program costs and 

fishery value for that year, as the fee 

percentage is established by regulation 

in the first quarter of the calendar year 

based on the program costs and the 

fishery value of the previous calendar 

year. 

Using the fee percentage formula 

described above, the estimated 

percentage of program costs to value for 

the 2020 calendar year is 3.66 percent 

of the standard ex-vessel value; 

however, the fee percentage amount 

must not exceed 3 percent pursuant to 

section 304(d)(2)(B) of the MagnusonStevens Act. Therefore, the 2020 fee 

percentage is adjusted to 3.00 percent. 

The fee percentage for 2020 is 

equivalent to the 2019 fee percentage of 

3.00 percent (85 FR 3647, January 22, 

2020). Program costs for 2020 decreased 

in comparison to 2019 costs, however, 

the value of the fishery decreased by 

26.2 percent resulting in a higher fee 

percentage prior to adjustments. The 

majority of the 2020 costs were a result 

of direct personnel and contract costs.

ACTION: Notification of approved 

monitoring service providers. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has approved six 

companies to provide Northeast 

multispecies sector at-sea and/or 

electronic monitoring services in fishing 

years 2021 and 2022. Regulations 

implementing the Northeast 

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 

require at-sea and electronic monitoring 

companies to apply to, and be approved 

by, NMFS in order to be eligible to 

provide monitoring services to sectors. 

This action will allow sectors to 

contract for at-sea and electronic 

monitoring services with any of the 

approved service providers for fishing 

years 2021 and 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The list of NMFS-approved 

sector monitoring service providers is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan includes a 

requirement for industry-funded 

monitoring of catch by sector vessels. 

Sectors must contract with independent 

third-party service providers to provide 

at-sea and/or electronic monitoring 

services to their vessels. In order to 

provide at-sea or electronic monitoring 

services to sectors, monitoring 

companies must apply to, and be 

approved by, NMFS. Once approved, 

service providers must meet specified 

performance requirements outlined in 

50 CFR 648.87(b)(4), including required 

coverage levels, in order to maintain 

eligibility. 

At-Sea and Electronic Monitoring 

Service Provider Approval Process 

Applications approved this year will 

cover both fishing year 2021 and fishing 

year 2022 (May 1, 2021 through April 

30, 2023). There will be an opportunity 

in the fall of 2021 for additional 

monitoring companies to apply for 

approval to provide at-sea and 

electronic monitoring services in fishing 

year 2022. 

The regulations at § 648.87(b)(4) 

describe the criteria for approval of atsea and electronic monitoring service 

providers. We approve service providers 

based on: (1) Completeness and 

sufficiency of applications; and (2) 

determination of the applicant’s ability 

to meet the performance requirements of 

a sector monitoring service provider. We 

must notify service providers, in 

writing, if NMFS withdraws approval 

for any reason. 

Approved Monitoring Service Providers 

NMFS approved six companies to 

provide monitoring services to the 

Northeast multispecies sectors in fishing 

years 2021 and 2022. Four of the six 

companies are approved to provide both 

at-sea and electronic monitoring 

services: A.I.S., Inc.; East West 

Technical Services, LLC; Fathom 

Research, LLC; and Saltwater, Inc. 

NMFS approved the other two 

companies to provide electronic 

monitoring services: Flywire Cameras 

and Teem Fish. 

We approved these six companies to 

provide at-sea and/or electronic 

monitoring services in fishing years 

2021 and 2022 because they have met 

the application requirements and 

documented their ability to comply with 

service provider standards. In addition, 

A.I.S., Inc., East West Technical 

Services, LLC, and Fathom Research, 

LLC are currently approved to provide 

at-sea monitoring services to sectors in 

fishing years 2019 and 2020 and have a 

history of meeting or exceeding the 

requirements of the at-sea monitoring 

program in the region. We will closely 

monitor the performance of approved 

providers, and we will withdraw 

approval during the current approval 

term, or disapprove a provider in future 

fishing years, if we determine 

performance standards are not being 

met. 

We received applications from two 

additional companies, but need further 

information before their application is 

sufficiently complete for us to make an 

approval determination. Typically, we 

engage in an iterative process with 

provider companies to assist them in 

assembling and submitting a complete 

application for our consideration. 

Because this is our first time approving 

electronic monitoring companies to 

provider monitoring services, we are 

continuing to work with these 

companies to help them through this 

process. In the meantime, we are 

continuing with the approval process 

for the providers that have submitted 

complete applications and 

demonstrated their ability to meet 

program requirements. Moving forward 

with notification of our approval of the 

completed applications while 

continuing to work with the two 

remaining applicants is necessary to 

allow sectors sufficient time to negotiate 

monitoring contracts for the upcoming 

fishing year. If we subsequently decide 

to approve these companies, we will 

publish an additional notice in the 

Federal Register announcing our 

decision.
