submitting factual information in these 

segments. Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.14

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or CVD 

proceeding must certify to the accuracy 

and completeness of that information 

using the formats provided at the end of 

the Final Rule.15 Commerce intends to 

reject factual submissions in any

Extension of Time Limits Regulation 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before a time limit 

established under Part 351 expires, or as 

otherwise specified by Commerce.16 In 

general, an extension request will be 

considered untimely if it is filed after 

the time limit established under Part 

351 expires. For submissions which are 

due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. 

Examples include, but are not limited 

to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification 

and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments 

concerning the selection of a surrogate 

country and surrogate values and 

rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP 

data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under 

certain circumstances, Commerce may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, 

Commerce will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This policy also 

requires that an extension request must 

be made in a separate, stand-alone 

submission, and clarifies the 

circumstances under which Commerce 

will grant untimely-filed requests for the 

extension of time limits. Review the 

Final Rule, available at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Oregon Department of State 

Lands, as lead agency for managing the 

South Slough National Estuarine 

Research Reserve, has requested 

approval to modify the Reserve’s 

geographic boundary by adding eight 

new parcels, including 1,771 acres 

(approximately 7.17 square km), which 

comprises the addition of: 30 acres (0.12 

sq. km) to correct for the use of current 

GIS-based technology in calculating 

updated acreage for the boundary area 

since it was established in 1974; 1,541 

acres (6.24 sq. km) of lands acquired 

since 2008 that are owned and managed 

by the Reserve outside of the SSNERR 

boundary; and 200 acres (0.81 sq.km) of 

State-owned waters in South Slough 

that connect the lands acquired since 

2008. In addition, SSNERR is also 

exploring two proposed future 

acquisitions totaling 105 acres (0.42 sq. 

km), and a land-swap for an entrance 

parcel expansion. Pursuant to 15 CFR 

921.33(a), NOAA may require public 

notice, including notice in the Federal 

Register and an opportunity for public 

comment, before approving a boundary 

or management plan change. In 

addition, boundary changes involving 

the acquisition of properties not listed 

in the Reserve’s management plan or 

final environmental impact statement 

require public notice and the 

opportunity for comment. Since the new 

parcels were not evaluated in the 

Reserve’s original environmental impact 

statement, NOAA has developed an 

environmental assessment pursuant to 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq., and the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 

of NEPA (40 CFR 1500–1508), to 

analyze the effects of the requested 

change, and is publishing notice of the 

availability of this draft environmental 

assessment for public review and 

comment on the proposed boundary 

change and associated environmental 

assessment. 

II. NOAA Proposed Action and 

Alternatives 

In accordance with NEPA and the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations, NOAA is releasing a draft 

environmental assessment. NOAA’s 

proposed action would be to approve a 

change in the boundary of the SSNERR 

to add 1,771 acres (7.17 sq. km) to the 

current boundary. 

The draft environmental assessment 

identifies and assesses potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed boundary expansion, and 

identifies a preferred alternative and a 

no action alternative. The preferred 

alternative would add 1,771 acres (7.17 

sq. km) to the SSNERR’s boundary, 

which would result in a net increase in 

size to 6,542 acres (26.47 sq. km), and 

6,647 acres (26.90 sq. km) if all 

proposed future land acquisitions are 

made. As a result, NOAA believes the 

proposed boundary expansion would 

formally incorporate land parcels within 

the SSNERR, which would protect lands 

of biological importance, allow the 

SSNERR to further its research and 

stewardship mission, provide additional 

lands/uses for public use, and provide 

an opportunity for more integrated 

ecosystem management. Therefore, 

NOAA prefers the proposed boundary 

expansion over the no action 

alternative.

CFR 921.33.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to a Geophysical 

Survey in the Ross Sea, Antarctica 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments on 

proposed renewal incidental harassment 

authorization. 

SUMMARY: NMFS received a request from 

the United States National Science 

Foundation (NSF) for the renewal of 

their currently active incidental 

harassment authorization (IHA) 

(hereinafter, the ‘‘initial IHA’’) to take 

marine mammals incidental to a 

geophysical survey in the Ross Sea, 

Antarctica because NSF’s activities will 

not be completed prior to the IHA’s 

expiration. Pursuant to the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act, prior to issuing 

the currently active IHA, NMFS 

requested comments on both the 

proposed IHA and the potential for 

renewing the initial authorization if 

certain requirements were satisfied. The 

renewal requirements have been 

satisfied, and NMFS is now providing 

an additional 15-day comment period to 

allow for any additional comments on 

the proposed renewal not previously 

provided during the initial 30-day 

comment period.
