DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

[Docket No. BOEM–2013–00] 

Notice of Determination of No 

Competitive Interest, Offshore Virginia 

AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management (BOEM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Determination of No 

Competitive Interest (DNCI) for a 

Proposed Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) 

Research Lease Offshore Virginia. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides BOEM’s 

determination that there is no 

competitive interest in the area 

requested by the Commonwealth of 

Virginia, Department of Mines, Minerals 

and Energy (DMME) to acquire an OCS 

research lease as described in the 

Request for Competitive Interest (RFCI): 

Research Lease for Renewable Energy on 

the Outer Continental Shelf Offshore 

Virginia, that BOEM published on 

December 21, 2012, (77 FR 75656– 

75658). The RFCI described the 

proposal submitted to BOEM by the 

DMME to acquire an OCS lease for wind 

energy research activities on the OCS off 

the coast of Virginia, and provided an 

opportunity for the public to submit 

comments about the proposal. 

DATES: Effective March 15, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Casey Reeves, Project Coordinator, 

BOEM, Office of Renewable Energy 

Programs, 381 Elden Street, HM 1328, 

Herndon, Virginia 20170, (703) 787– 

1320. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority 

This DNCI is published pursuant to 

subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS Lands Act 

(43 U.S.C. 1337(p)(3)), which was added 

by section 388 of the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005 (EPAct), and the implementing 

regulations at 30 CFR part 585. 

Subsection 8(p)(3) of the OCS Lands Act 

requires that OCS renewable energy 

leases, easements, and rights-of-way be 

issued ‘‘on a competitive basis unless 

the Secretary [of the Interior] determines 

after public notice of a proposed lease, 

easement, or right-of-way (ROW) that 

there is no competitive interest.’’ The 

Secretary delegated the authority to 

make such determinations to BOEM. 

Determination and Next Steps 

This DNCI provides notice to the 

public that BOEM has determined there 

is no competitive interest in the 

proposed research lease area, as no 

indications of competitive interest were 

submitted in response to the RFCI. 

In the December 2012 RFCI, BOEM 

also solicited public comment on the 

proposed lease area and the proposed 

DMME research project and any 

potential impacts that the project may 

have. In response to the RFCI, BOEM 

received public comment submissions 

from four entities none of which 

expressed competitive interest in the 

proposed research lease area. However, 

BOEM will use the comments that it 

received to inform its subsequent 

decisions. After the publication of this 

DNCI, BOEM will proceed with the 

research lease issuance process outlined 

at 30 CFR 585.238.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–747 (Third 

Review)] 

Fresh Tomatoes From Mexico; 

Termination of Five-Year Review and 

Resumption of Antidumping 

Investigation 

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The subject five-year review 

was instituted on December 3, 2012, to 

determine whether termination of the 

suspended investigation on fresh 

tomatoes from Mexico would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury (77 FR 71629, December 

3, 2012). On February 28, 2013, Mexican 

tomato growers/exporters accounting for 

a significant percentage of all fresh 

tomatoes imported into the United 

States from Mexico provided written 

notice to the Department of Commerce 

of their withdrawal from the agreement 

suspending the antidumping 

investigation on fresh tomatoes from 

Mexico. Effective March 1, 2013, the 

Department of Commerce terminated 

the suspension agreement, terminated 

the five-year review of the suspended 

investigation, and resumed the 

antidumping investigation on fresh 

tomatoes from Mexico because the 

suspension agreement no longer covered 

substantially all imports of fresh 

tomatoes from Mexico. Accordingly, the 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

gives notice of the termination of its 

review and the resumption of its 

antidumping investigation of fresh 

tomatoes from Mexico. A schedule for 

the final phase of the investigation will 

be established and announced at a later 

date. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 4, 2013. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background. On November 1, 1996, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) 

suspended an antidumping 

investigation on imports of fresh 

tomatoes from Mexico (61 FR 56618, 

November 1, 1996). On October 1, 2001, 

Commerce initiated its first five-year 

review of the suspended investigation 

(66 FR 49926, October 1, 2001). On the 

basis of the withdrawal from the 

suspension agreement by Mexican 

tomato growers which accounted for a 

significant percentage of all fresh 

tomatoes imported into the United 

States from Mexico, Commerce 

terminated the suspension agreement, 

terminated the first five-year review, 

and resumed the antidumping
