Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is OCTG, hollow steel products of 

circular cross-section, including oil well 

casing and tubing of iron (other than

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping at the following weighted– 

average margins: 

Manufacturers/Producers/Exporters Weighted–Average 

Margin (Percent) 

TAMSA ......................... 21.70 

Hylsa ............................. 0.62

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR 222–226). 

The applicant requests authority to 

study 31 cetacean species including 

blue (Balaenoptera musculus), fin 

(Balaenoptera physalus), and humpback 

(Megaptera novaeangliae) whales. The 

purpose of the research is to improve 

baseline data on marine mammal status, 

abundance, stock structure, life history, 

seasonal distribution, and acoustic 

communication and behavior of nonESA and ESA listed species. Activities 

include photo-identification, biopsy, 

suction-cup tagging, and fecal sampling. 

Research would be conducted in the 

Pacific Ocean off the west coast of the 

United States and around the Hawaiian 

Islands. No mortality of animals is 

requested. The permit would be issued 

for five years. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Opay or Kate Swails, (301)713– 

2289. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject modification to Permit No. 1557, 

issued on June 21, 2006 (71 FR 36520) 

is requested under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR 222– 

226). 

Permit No. 1557 authorizes the permit 

holder to investigate leatherback sea 

turtle regional behavior and movements 

in near-shore waters off the eastern 

United States and to identify their 

dispersal in relation to oceanographic 

conditions and fishing activities. The 

research will also help establish 

baseline health assessments, genetic 

identities, sex ratios, and stable isotope 

composition of leatherback sea turtle 

tissues and prey. Researchers are 

authorized to conduct research on up to 

12 leatherback sea turtles annually that 

have been disentangled from fishing 

gear by the stranding network or that 

researchers have captured using a 

breakaway hoop net. Turtles are 

measured, weighed, photographed and 

video taped, flipper and passive 

integrated transponder (PIT) tagged, 

blood sampled, cloacal swabbed, nasal 

swabbed, skin sampled, tagged with 

electronic instruments, and released. 

The research permit was issued for 5 

years. The permit holder currently 

requests authorization to take an 

additional eight leatherbacks per year. 

Turtles would be measured, weighed, 

photographed and video taped, flipper 

and PIT tagged, blood sampled, cloacal 

swabbed, nasal swabbed, skin sampled. 

The researchers propose to attach 

satellite-linked data recorders to the 

turtle’s carapace and to feed stomach 

temperature pills to the animals. These 

pills would record stomach 

temperatures and transmit them to the 

satellite-linked data recorder for 

transmission to the researchers. This 

research would help researchers better 

understand where, when, and under 

what environmental conditions 

leatherback sea turtles forage so as to 

better predict their movements. This 

information would be used to help 

predict leatherback movements and 

potential interactions with fisheries and 

other human activities to allow resource 

managers to design management 

strategies to protect this species.
