shipper review for the shipment of solid 

urea from Russia it produced and 

exported. See Memorandum to the File 

from Thomas Schauer, Senior Analyst, 

through Laurie Parkhill, Director, Office 

5: New–Shipper Review Initiation 

Checklist, dated February 26, 2007. 

Also, please refer to this memorandum 

for our response to the arguments the 

petitioner raised in its February 16, 

2007, letter. As we stated in that 

memorandum, we intend to examine 

these arguments in greater detail during 

the course of the review and, if we 

determine that the producer of the 

subject merchandise subject to the 

review was indeed an affiliate of the 

exporter or producers in the original 

investigation, we may rescind the new–

shipper review as provided in section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214. 

The period of review for this new–

shipper review is July 1, 2006, through 

December 31, 2006. See 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(ii)(A). The Department 

intends to issue the preliminary results 

of this review no later than 180 days 

from the date of initiation and final 

results of this review no later than 270 

days from the date of initiation. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. 

On August 17, 2006, the Pension 

Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was 

signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4 

temporarily suspends the authority of 

the Department to instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to collect a bond 

or other security in lieu of a cash 

deposit in new–shipper reviews. 

Therefore, the posting of a bond under 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act in lieu 

of a cash deposit is not available in this 

case. Importers of subject merchandise 

manufactured and exported by 

EuroChem must continue to pay a cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

on each entry of subject merchandise at 

the current all–others rate of 68.26 

percent. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this new–

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are 

published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the SEDAR process, 

a multi-step method for determining the 

status of fish stocks in the Southeast 

Region. SEDAR assessments are 

developed through an open workshop 

process that involves a variety of 

participants. Participants for SEDAR 

Workshops, appointed by the regional 

Fishery Management Councils, the 

Southeast Regional Office (SERO), and 

the Southeast Fishery Science Center 

(SEFSC), include data collectors and 

database managers; stock assessment 

scientists, biologists, and researchers;

constituency representatives including 

fishermen, environmentalists, and nongovernmental organization (NGO’s); 

International experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

Federal agencies. 

Assessments of Gulf of Mexico and 

South Atlantic stocks of gag grouper 

were developed through SEDAR 10, 

completed in July 2006. The assessment 

of Gulf of Mexico red grouper was 

developed through SEDAR 12, 

completed in February 2007. It is 

acknowledged that methods of assessing 

Southeastern fish stocks and addressing 

issues within available datasets improve 

with each SEDAR assessment, and 

recent assessment updates have allowed 

incorporation of such changes. There 

are similarities in the data sources used 

to develop SEDAR 10 and 12 

assessments, potential similarities in 

basic species biology, and considerable 

overlap in fisheries that harvest these 

species within the respective Council 

areas of jurisdiction. Therefore, the 

Steering Committee has determined that 

a special review of these recent grouper 

assessments is required to ensure that 

uncertainties are treated appropriately 

and that any potential differences in 

methods or data treatments are 

thoroughly justified. 

This special inquiry will be prepared 

through 2 SEDAR workshops: an 

evaluation workshop and review 

workshop. The evaluation workshop 

will consist of SEFSC and Council 

appointees familiar with the 

assessments and the fisheries which 

will be convened to review the 

assessments and possibly recommend 

additional sensitivity analyses. The 

Review Workshop will consist of an 

SEFSC appointed Chair, two 

independent reviewers appointed 

through the Center for Independent 

Experts (CIE), and up to two additional 

representatives appointed by the Gulf 

and South Atlantic Councils. The 

product of the Evaluation Workshop 

will be a report addressing key 

assessment uncertainties and 

recommending potential additional 

assessment analyses for consideration 

by the Review panel. The product of the 

Review Panel will be an independent 

evaluation of the recommendations and 

conclusions of the Evaluation Panel and 

any subsequent assessment analyses. 

SEDAR Grouper Review Schedule: 

March 19 - 22, 2007: Grouper 

Evaluation Workshop

Mexico red grouper. Participants will 

evaluate key data and methodological 

decisions and the justifications of those 

decisions as provided in the SEDAR 10 

and 12 assessment reports. The panel 

will prepare a written report addressing 

Terms of Reference approved by the 

SEDAR Steering Committee.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Patent and Trademark Office 

[Docket No. PTO–T–2007–0003] 

Notice of the Removal of the Paper 

Search Collection of Registered WordOnly Marks From Trademark Search 

Library in Arlington, VA 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (‘‘USPTO’’) hereby 

provides sixty (60) days notice of the 

microfilming and removal of the paper 

search collection of registered marks 

consisting only of words from the 

USPTO’s Trademark Search Facility in 

Arlington, VA. This Notice does not 

concern the paper search collection of 

registered marks that consist of or 

include design elements. 

DATES: Removal of the paper search 

collection of registered word-only marks 

shall be effected beginning sixty (60) 

days from the date of this Notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Chicoski, Office of the 

Commissioner for Trademarks, 571–

272–8943. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 35 

U.S.C. 41(i), the USPTO must maintain 

a collection of United States trademark 

applications and registrations for use by 

the public in paper, microform, or 

electronic form. The provision 

authorizing an electronic search 

collection was added by § 4804(d)(1) of 

the American Inventors Protection Act 

of 1999 (‘‘AIPA’’), Title IV, Subtitle B, 

of Pub. L. 106–113, 113 Stat. 1501, 

1501A–589. The USPTO currently 

maintains a searchable electronic 

database of registered marks and marks 

in pending applications, as well as text 

and images of marks in abandoned, 

cancelled and expired records dating 

back to 1984. Government insignia 

protected by U.S. law or by Article 6ter 

of the Paris Convention, and insignia 

that various federally and state 

recognized Native American tribes have 

identified as their official tribal insignia 

are also included. Trademark examining 

attorneys have relied exclusively on the 

electronic search system since before 

1990. 

Section 4804(d)(2) of the AIPA 

provides that the USPTO can eliminate 

the paper or microform search 

collection only pursuant to notice and 

opportunity for public comment, and 

only after submitting a report to the 

Committees on the Judiciary of the 

Senate and the House of Representatives 

detailing its plan for removal, and 

certifying that the implementation of 

such plan will not negatively impact the 

public. On May 9, 2003, the USPTO 

certified to Congress that the USPTO 

could cease to maintain a paper search 

collection of marks that consist only of 

words, without harm to the public. The 

2003 report and certification are 

currently available on the USPTO Web 

site at http://www.uspto.gov/web/ 

offices/com/sol/comments/epubsearch/
