Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

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 

review period. Failure to comply with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 8, 2008, notice was 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 52027) that a request for a permit to 

conduct research on Pacific harbor seals 

(Phoca vitulina), California sea lions 

(Zalophus californianus), and northern 

elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) 

within coastal waters and on pinniped 

rookeries and haul outs of Washington 

and Oregon had been submitted by the 

above-named applicant. On September 

18, 2009, a notice was published in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 47918) 

announcing that the applicant had 

revised their request for a permit to 

include Eastern Distinct Population 

Segment Steller sea lions (Eumetopias 

jubatus) and Southern Resident killer 

whales (Orcinus orca). The requested 

permit has been issued under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations 

governing the taking and importing of 

marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

The permit is valid through January 

31, 2015, for harassment of marine 

mammals during aerial, vessel, and 

ground surveys; capture of pinnipeds 

for collection of tissue samples, 

attachment of scientific instruments and 

application of marks (flipper tags, 

brands, etc.); and harassment of marine 

mammals during underwater playback 

experiments. The permit also allows for 

a limited number of research-related 

mortality of marine mammals. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental 

assessment (EA) was prepared analyzing 

the effects of the permitted activities on 

the human environment. Based on the 

analyses in the EA, NMFS determined 

that issuance of the permit would not 

significantly impact the quality of the 

human environment and that 

preparation of an environmental impact 

statement was not required. That 

determination is documented in a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), signed on February 16, 2010. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

Since January 1, 2007, shark limited 

access and swordfish limited access 

permit holders who fish with longline 

or gillnet gear have been required to 

submit a copy of their Protected Species 

Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshop certificate in 

order to renew either permit (71 FR 

58057; October 2, 2006). These 

certificate(s) are valid for three years. As 

such, vessel owners who have not 

already attended a workshop and 

received a NMFS certificate, or vessel 

owners whose certificate(s) will expire 

prior to the next permit renewal, must 

attend a workshop to fish with, or 

renew, their swordfish and shark 

limited access permits. Additionally, 

new shark and swordfish limited access 

permit applicants who intend to fish 

with longline or gillnet gear must attend 

a Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshop 

and submit a copy of their workshop 

certificate before either of the permits 

will be issued. Approximately 78 free 

Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since 2006. 

At least one operator on vessels using 

longline or gillnet gear must be issued, 

and possess on board, a valid Protected 

Species Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshop certificate 

issued to that operator, in addition to 

having on board a valid workshop 

certificate issued to the vessel owner. 

Both vessel owner and operator 

certificates are valid for three years. As 

such, vessel operators who have not 

already attended a workshop and 

received a NMFS certificate, or vessel 

operators whose certificate(s) will 

expire prior to their next fishing trip, 

must attend a workshop to operate a 

vessel with swordfish and shark limited 

access permits. 

Registration 

To register for a scheduled Protected 

Species Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshop, please contact 

Angler Conservation Education at (386) 

852–9137. 

Registration Materials 

To ensure that workshop certificates 

are linked to the correct permits, 

participants will need to bring the 

following items with them to the 

workshop: 

Individual vessel owners must bring a 

copy of the appropriate swordfish and/ 

or shark permit(s), a copy of the vessel 

registration or documentation, and proof 

of identification. 

Representatives of a business owned 

or co-owned vessel must bring proof 

that the individual is an agent of the 

business (such as articles of 

incorporation), a copy of the applicable 

swordfish and/or shark permit(s), and 

proof of identification. 

Vessel operators must bring proof of 

identification. Workshop Objectives 

The protected species safe handling, 

release, and identification workshops 

are designed to teach longline and 

gillnet fishermen the required 

techniques for the safe handling and 

release of entangled and/or hooked 

protected species, such as sea turtles, 

marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish. The proper identification of 

protected species will also be taught at 

these workshops in an effort to improve 

reporting. Additionally, individuals 

attending these workshops will gain a 

better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal of these 

workshops is to provide participants 

with the skills needed to reduce the 

mortality of protected species, which 

may prevent additional regulations on 

these fisheries in the future.
