SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 27, 2020, the Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of 

imports of thermal paper from Germany, 

Japan, Korea, and Spain.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than March 16, 2021. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in an LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On February 4 and 16, 2021, the 

petitioners 2 submitted timely requests 

that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determinations in these 

LTFV investigations.3 The petitioners 

requested postponement of the 

preliminary determinations to: (1) 

Provide additional time to evaluate, 

comment on, and/or resolve issues in 

the questionnaire responses received in 

these investigations; or (2) in the case of 

the Spain investigation, to keep the 

investigation on the same schedule as 

the Germany, Japan, and Korea 

investigations.4

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, in accordance with 

section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce is postponing the deadline 

for the preliminary determinations by 

50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, Commerce will 

issue its preliminary determinations no 

later than May 5, 2021. In accordance 

with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the 

final determinations of these 

investigations will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Exempted 

Fishing Permits 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of an 

application for exempted fishing permit; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the receipt 

of an application for an exempted 

fishing permit (EFP) from Dr. David 

Portnoy, Texas A&M University, Corpus 

Christi. If granted, the EFP would allow 

a limited harvest of speckled hind in 

South Atlantic Federal waters by select 

commercial fishermen. The samples 

collected would be used to assess the 

speckled hind population structure, 

genetic diversity, and life history in the 

South Atlantic. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before March 12, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the application, identified by 

‘‘NOAA–NMFS–2021–0007’’ by any of 

the following methods: 

• Electronic Submission: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the

application may be obtained from the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Frank Helies, 727–824–5305; email: 

frank.helies@noaa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EFP is 

requested under the authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C 1801 

et seq.), and regulations at 50 CFR 

600.745(b) concerning exempted 

fishing. 

Currently, Federal regulations at 50 

CFR 622.181 (b)(3) prohibit the harvest 

and possession of speckled hind in or 

from South Atlantic Federal waters. 

Speckled hind are sedentary, long-lived, 

deep-water groupers and are considered 

to be undergoing overfishing in the U.S. 

South Atlantic. There are no known 

data regarding the stock structure of 

speckled hind in South Atlantic waters 

and little is known about their biology; 

consequently, there are not enough data 

to accurately determine whether the 

species is overfished. 

Dr. Portnoy was awarded a Marine 

Fisheries Initiative grant to assess the 

population structure, genetic diversity, 

and life history of speckled hind in the 

U.S. South Atlantic. Beginning in 2018, 

Dr. Portnoy has already acquired some 

of his project’s needed speckled hind 

samples from fishery independent 

surveys conducted by NMFS and the 

South Carolina Department of Natural 

Resources. However, as a result of low 

encounter rates with the species since 

2018, and reduced fishery independent 

survey effort in 2020, additional 

samples will need to be collected 

through this EFP to obtain a sufficient 

number of samples for the project. 

If granted, the EFP would be valid 

through August 31, 2022, and would 

allow a limited harvest of up to 40 

speckled hind per calendar year (up to 

80 total for the duration of the EFP) in 

the Federal waters of the South Atlantic. 

The EFP would exempt select 

commercial fishermen from Federal 

regulations prohibiting the harvest and 

possession of speckled hind in Federal 

waters of the South Atlantic at 50 CFR 

622.181(b)(3). Because speckled hind 

would be harvested incidentally during 

routine commercial fishing trips, NMFS 

does not expect that any additional 

environmental impacts would occur 

through the issuance of the EFP. 

Dr. Portnoy proposes to collect 

speckled hind from select commercial 

fishermen who occasionally encounter 

speckled hind in South Atlantic Federal 

waters during routine commercial
