SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA 

and NSF publish this notice to inform 

the public of an amendment to the 

solicitation ‘‘Comparative Analysis of 

Marine Ecosystem Organization 

(CAMEO)’’ announced in the Federal 

Register on July 7, 2009 (74 FR 32112). 

Due to an error, only four of the five 

program priorities were announced in 

the original solicitation. The Full 

Funding Opportunity is amended to 

read: 

Program Priorities 

This funding opportunity will 

implement CAMEO research by 

supporting the development of research 

tools and strategic approaches. The 

following types of proposals are 

encouraged: 

1. Development of strategies and 

methodologies for comparative analyses 

that can be applied consistently across 

spatial and temporal scales and 

ecosystems, and that facilitate the 

design of decision support tools for 

marine populations, ecosystems and 

habitats. 

2. Development of models that 

address key scientific questions by 

comparing ecosystems and ecosystem 

processes. Models that are 

geographically and temporally portable, 

and that incorporate assessment of 

modeling skill, are particularly 

encouraged. 

3. Retrospective studies that analyze, 

re-analyze or synthesize existing 

information (historic, time-series, 

ongoing program, etc.) using a 

comparative approach. 

4. Studies that integrate the human 

dimension within ecosystem dynamics. 

The CAMEO program seeks to promote 

interdisciplinary research using 

comparative approaches to link marine 

ecosystem research with the social and 

behavioral sciences in new and vital 

ways. 

5. Empirical or retrospective projects 

that evaluate and compare the 

effectiveness and design of Marine 

Protected Areas or other spatiallyexplicit management strategies. 

All information and requirements 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 7, 2009 apply to applications 

submitted pursuant to this notice. 

Under this amended solicitation, NOAA 

and NSF allow for modifications to 

applications already received under the 

initial announcement. Any proposal 

that has been submitted to the initial 

solicitation prior to September 15, 2009 

may be resubmitted to reflect this 

change in program priorities. Applicants 

may revise proposals to address this 

change; however, any revisions to such 

proposals must be submitted by the 

original deadline. 

The following sections of that Federal 

Funding Opportunity have been 

amended to reflect the changes 

announced in this notice: ‘‘Program 

Priorities’’. 

Electronic Access 

The full text of the full funding 

opportunity announcement for this 

program can be accessed via the 

Grants.gov web site at http:// 

www.grants.gov. The announcement 

will also be available by contacting the 

program officials identified under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

Applicants must comply with all 

requirements contained in the full 

funding opportunity announcement. 

Statutory Authority 

Authority for CAMEO is provided by 

the following: 33 U.S.C. 1442 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service and 

42 U.S.C. 1861 75 for the National 

Science Foundation.

costs if these programs fail to receive 

funding or are cancelled because of 

other agency priorities. Publication of 

this announcement does not oblige 

NOAA or NSF to award any specific 

project or to obligate any available 

funds. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

NOAA must analyze the potential 

environmental impacts, as required by 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), for applicant projects or 

proposals which are seeking NOAA 

federal funding opportunities. Detailed 

information on NOAA compliance with 

NEPA can be found at the following 

NOAA NEPA website: http:// 

www.nepa.noaa.gov/, including our 

NOAA Administrative Order 216–6 for 

NEPA, http://www.nepa.noaa.gov/ 

NAO216l6lTOC.pdf, and the Council 

on Environmental Quality 

implementation regulations, http:// 

ceq.eh.doe.gov/nepa/regs/ceq/ 

toclceq.htm. Consequently, as part of 

an applicant’s package, and under their 

description of their program activities, 

applicants are required to provide 

detailed information on the activities to 

be conducted, locations, sites, species 

and habitat to be affected, possible 

construction activities, and any 

environmental concerns that may exist 

(e.g., the use and disposal of hazardous 

or toxic chemicals, introduction of nonindigenous species, impacts to 

endangered and threatened species, 

aquaculture projects, and impacts to 

coral reef systems). In addition to 

providing specific information that will 

serve as the basis for any required 

impact analyses, applicants may also be 

requested to assist NOAA in the drafting 

of an environmental assessment, if 

NOAA determines an assessment is 

required. Applicants will also be 

required to cooperate with NOAA in 

identifying feasible measures to reduce 

or avoid any identified adverse 

environmental impacts of their 

proposal. The failure to do so shall be 

grounds for not selecting an application. 

In some cases if additional information 

is required after an application is 

selected, funds can be withheld by the 

Grants Officer under a special award 

condition requiring the recipient to 

submit additional environmental 

compliance information sufficient to 

enable NOAA to make an assessment on 

any impacts that a project may have on 

the environment. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of February 11, 2008 (73 FR 7696), are 

applicable to this solicitation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 27, 2009, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of the 

new shipper review in the antidumping 

duty order on shrimp from Vietnam for 

Nhat Duc Co., Ltd.. See Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 

74 FR 13416 (March 27, 2009). The 

preliminary results of this review are 

currently due no later than September 

16, 2009. 

Statutory Time Limits 

In antidumping duty new shipper 

reviews, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) requires 

the Department to issue the preliminary 

results of a new shipper review within 

180 days after the date on which the 

new shipper review was initiated and 

final results within 90 days after the 

date on which the preliminary results 

are issued. However, the Department 

may extend the deadline for completion 

of the preliminary results of a new 

shipper review to 300 days if it 

determines that the case is 

extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 

351.214(i)(2)
