this time. Specifically, the Department 

has questions concerning the 

restructuring discussed above with 

respect to the business operations of 

Evotape Masking and Evotape 

Packaging. It appears from the 

information on the record that both 

companies use facilities once owned by 

Tyco (and before Tyco, by Manuli). 

Manuli/Tyco’s antidumping duty 

margin may have been calculated based 

on information derived from all of these 

facilities. Therefore, a determination of 

a successor-in-interest, for purpose of 

antidumping liability, requires the 

Department to gather further 

information before it can make a 

preliminary successor-in-interest 

determination. 

Accordingly, the Department has 

determined that it would be 

inappropriate to expedite this action by 

combining the preliminary results of 

review with this notice of initiation, as 

permitted under 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii) and as requested by 

Evotape Packaging. As a result, the 

Department is not issuing preliminary 

results for this changed circumstances 

review at this time. 

The Department will request 

additional information in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2), and will 

publish in the Federal Register a notice 

of preliminary results of the changed 

circumstances review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and (c)(3)(i), 

which will set forth the factual and legal 

conclusions upon which our 

preliminary results are based and a 

description of any action proposed. 

Interested parties will have an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results of review. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the 

Department will issue the final results 

of this antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review no later than 270 

days after the date on which this review 

was initiated, or within 45 days if all 

parties agree to our preliminary results. 

During the course of this antidumping 

duty changed circumstances review, 

cash deposit requirements for the 

subject merchandise produced and 

exported by Evotape Packaging will 

continue to be the all-others rate 

established in the investigation. See 

Pressure Sensitive Plastic Tape From 

Italy; Determination of Injury or 

Likelihood Thereof, 42 FR 44853 

(September 7, 1977). The cash deposit 

rate requirement will be altered, if 

warranted, pursuant only to the final 

results of this review. 

This notice of initiation is in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216 

and 351.221(c)(3).

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; 

General Provisions for Domestic 

Fisheries; Application for Exempted 

Fishing Permits (EFPs) 

AGENCY: Department of Commerce, 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 

ACTION: Notification of a proposal for an 

EFP to conduct exempted fishing; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional 

Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries, 

Northeast Region, NMFS (Assistant 

Regional Administrator), has made a 

preliminary determination that the 

subject EFP application that was 

submitted by the University of Rhode 

Island (URI) warrants further 

consideration and should be issued for 

public comment. The EFP would 

exempt participating vessels from 

summer flounder size restrictions, scup 

size restrictions, scup possession 

restrictions, and possession restrictions 

for squid and butterfish. The Assistant 

Regional Administrator has also made a 

preliminary determination that the 

activities authorized under the EFP 

would be consistent with the goals and 

objectives of the Summer Flounder, 

Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP); and the 

Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish 

FMP. However, further review and 

consultation may be necessary before a 

final determination is made. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 1, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted by e-mail. The mailbox 

address for providing e-mail comments 

is nero.efp@noaa.gov. Include in the 

subject line of the e-mail comment the 

following document identifier: 

‘‘Comments on URI Drop Chain Trawl 

Net EFP.’’ Written comments should be 

sent to Patricia A. Kurkul, Regional 

Administrator, NMFS, Northeast 

Regional Office, 55 Great Republic 

Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930. Mark the 

outside of the envelope, ‘‘Comments on 

URI Drop Chain Trawl Net EFP.’’

Sarah Bland, Fishery Management 

Specialist, (978) 281–9257. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

complete application for an EFP was 

submitted by URI on August 31, 2009, 

for a study that would test the 

effectiveness of a drop chain small mesh 

net in its ability to reduce catches of 

summer flounder in the small mesh 

fishery. The study would also evaluate 

discard mortality of summer flounder 

caught using the Reflex Action Mortality 

Predictor (RAMP) method. 

The study would be conducted aboard 

two commercial fishing vessels in the 

directed small mesh fishery for squid in 

Block Island Sound and Rhode Island 

Sound. Research trips associated with 

the study would be conducted over a 

12-month period, beginning in October 

2009 and continuing through September 

2010. Field work would be split into 

three time periods, consisting of a total 

of 12 fishing days. Vessels would 

conduct side-by-side tows, with one 

vessel towing a control net and the other 

towing an experimental net. The control 

net would be a 362 x 12–cm two-seam 

polyethylene balloon net equipped with 

a 20–cm rockhopper sweep. The 

experimental net would be identical to 

the control net, but equipped with a 1– 

ft (30.5–cm) drop chain sweep. 

Each fishing day would consist of four 

to six tows of 1.5 hr duration. For each 

tow, total catch size would be 

determined prior to subsampling. 

Following Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center (NEFSC) protocols, either all of 

the summer flounder catch, or a 

subsample, would be weighed. Target 

catch species would include squid, 

butterfish, and scup. These species 

would also be sampled and weighed. 

Species would be sorted by sub-legal 

and legal-sized fish, and weights would 

be taken for each group. 

On 5 fishing days, up to 50 legal and 

sub-legal sized summer flounder would 

be transferred to an on-board holding 

tank. Individual fish would be measured 

for length, and the presence or absence 

of six RAMP tests would be noted. After 

visual inspection, fish would be tagged, 

transported in coolers to the Blount 

Aquaculture Research Laboratory, and 

held for 60 days for survival and growth 

studies. 

The applicants have requested 

exemptions from summer flounder size 

restrictions at § 648.103. This exemption 

would allow vessels to retain and land 

summer flounder that would be 

transported to the Blount Aquaculture 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
47558 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 16, 2009 / Notices 

Research Lab for a 2-month holding 

period to quantify delayed mortality. 

Fish surviving the 2-month holding 

period would be returned to Rhode 

Island coastal waters. The applicants 

have also requested temporary 

exemptions from scup size restrictions 

at § 648.124; scup possession limits at 

§ 648.125; and possession restrictions 

for squid and butterfish at § 648.25. 

These exemptions would allow 

incidental catch species to be 

temporarily retained for data collection 

purposes. Incidental catch below the 

minimum size, and above the 

possession limit, would be discarded 

immediately following data collection. 

The applicants anticipate that for each 

control net tow, the legal-sized summer 

flounder catch would be 75 lb (34 kg), 

and the sub-legal sized summer 

flounder catch would be 12 lb (5.4 kg). 

Target catch, including squid, 

butterfish, and scup, would total 150 lb 

(68 kg). For each experimental net tow, 

both the legal-sized and sub-legal sized 

summer flounder catch would be less 

than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Target catch would 

remain 150 lb (68 kg). Each day of 

fishing would consist of four to six sideby-side tows, with a total of 12 fishing 

days for the project. 

The applicants may request minor 

modifications and extensions to the EFP 

throughout the course of research. EFP 

modifications and extensions may be 

granted without further public notice if 

they are deemed essential to facilitate 

completion of the proposed research 

and result in only a minimal change in 

the scope or impacts of the initially 

approved EFP request.
