Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping occurred 

and the subsequent assessment of 

double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: March 22, 2007.

ACTION: Notice; issuance of permit. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

Shane Moore, Moore & Moore Films, 

Box 2980, 1203 Melody Creek Lane, 

Jackson, Wyoming 83001 has been 

issued a permit to conduct commercial/ 

educational photography. 

ADDRESSES: The permit and related 

documents are available for review 

upon written request or by appointment 

in the following office(s):

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

19, 2006 notice was published in the 

Federal Register (71 FR 40995) that a 

request for a commercial/educational 

photography permit to take killer 

whales (Orcinus orca), gray whales 

(Eschrichtius robustus), and minke 

whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) had 

been submitted by the above-named 

individual. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216). 

The applicant will take 10 killer 

whales of the Eastern North Pacific 

Transient stock, 10 gray whales, and 10 

minke whales annually by close 

approach for filming in the Gulf of 

Alaska and Bering Sea. The purpose of 

this project is to document the behavior 

of marine animals in the presence of the 

carcass of a gray or minke whale that 

was killed by killer whales. The 

applicant will fix a remotely operated 

video camera in an underwater housing 

to the sea floor approximately 15 feet 

from the carcass. The camera will be 

deployed after the killer whales have 

left the carcass and would be controlled 

from a boat approximately 100 yards 

away. In addition, if killer whales, gray 

whales, or minke whales pass near the 

boat, the applicant will submerge a 

small camera on a pole to take 

photographs of passing animals. This 

footage will be shared freely with the 

scientific community as it may reveal to 

what extent killer whales continue to 

feed on submerged kills, how they feed 

on these carcasses, and document what 

other animals may benefit from these 

carcasses as well. Filming activities will 

occur between April 1 and August 31 of 

each year. The permit will expire three 

years from the date of issuance. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement.

National Artificial Reef Plan (as 

Amended): Guidelines for Siting, 

Construction, Development, and 

Assessment of Artificial Reefs 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of agency decision. 

SUMMARY: The National Artificial Reef 

Plan (NOAA Technical Memorandum, 

NMFS OF–6) was originally published 

in November 1985, in fulfillment of a 

requirement under the National Fishing 

Enhancement Act of 1984. NMFS 

worked in partnership with the Atlantic 

States Marine Fisheries Commission 

and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries 

Commission to update and revise this 

plan. A revised version has been 

completed, entitled the ‘‘National 

Artificial Reef Plan (as Amended): 

Guidelines for siting, construction, 

development, and assessment of 

artificial reefs.’’ This action is intended 

to promote the goals and objectives 

outlined in the National Fishing 

Enhancement Act. 

DATES: The revised National Artificial 

Reef Plan (National Plan) was approved 

on March 7, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ‘‘National 

Artificial Reef Plan (as Amended): 

Guidelines for siting, construction, 

development, and assessment of 

artificial reefs’’ are available from 

Christopher M. Moore, Director of the 

Partnerships and Communications 

Division, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries 

Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver 

Spring, MD 20910. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher M. Moore, (301) 713–2379 

ext. 165; fax (301) 713–0596. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Artificial Reef Plan of 1985 

was developed by the Secretary of 

Commerce under direction of the 

National Fishing Enhancement Act of 

1984. This Act directed the Secretary of 

Commerce to develop and publish a 

long-term National Artificial Reef Plan 

to promote and facilitate responsible 

and effective artificial reef use based on 

the best scientific information available. 

The National Plan provided guidance 

on various aspects of artificial reef use, 

including types of construction 

materials, planning, siting, design, and 

management of artificial reefs. This 

document was general in its scope and 

provided a framework for regional, state, 

and local planners to develop more 

detailed, site-specific artificial reef 

plans to meet local needs and 

conditions. The National Plan was 

designed to be a dynamic working 

document that would be updated as 

new information became available. 

Since 1985, new information and 

research on artificial reefs have become 

available. Accordingly, NMFS has 

updated and revised the National Plan, 

in cooperation with the Atlantic States 

Marine Fisheries Commission and the 

Gulf States Marine Fisheries 

Commission. The National Plan was 

initially revised with input from state 

artificial reef programs and staff from 

the interstate marine fisheries 

commissions, the Minerals Management 

Service, and the National Marine 

Fisheries Service. The draft revision to 

the 1985 National Artificial Reef Plan 

was revised in response to comments 

that were provided through internal 

NOAA review and external review by 

the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries 

Commission and the Gulf States Marine 

Fisheries Commission. 

The interstate marine fisheries 

commissions have been involved in the 

development and review of this 

document due to their extensive 

involvement and experience with state 

artificial reef management programs. 

Most coastal states have coordinated 

their artificial reef activities through the 

respective interstate marine fisheries 

commissions, and most interstate 

commissions have established technical 

advisory committees for marine 

artificial reef development. These 

committees are composed of the 

coordinators of the state marine 

artificial reef programs within the 

respective state agencies responsible for 

marine and coastal resources 

management. Committee membership 

also includes representatives from the 

National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, Minerals 

Management Service, Environmental 

Protection Agency, and Regional 

Fishery Management Councils. 

The revised National Plan provides 

information on the roles of federal, state, 

and local governments; interstate 

marine fisheries commissions; Regional 

Fishery Management Councils; and 

private citizens in artificial reef 

development. The document also 

provides guidelines for siting, materials, 

design, construction, and management 

of artificial reefs; and information on 

regulatory and permitting requirements, 

liability issues, and research needs. The 

revised National Plan also includes 

updated information on artificial reef 

activities and programs, and it 

references other useful sources of 

information for artificial reef 

development. The most significant 

changes occur in the section of the plan 

dealing with materials for artificial reef 

development. New language in the 

revised National Plan is consistent with 

the guidelines and recommendations of 

the interstate marine fisheries 

commissions and representatives of 

state artificial reef programs relative to 

artificial reef development.
