Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 198 / Tuesday, October 14, 1997 / Notices 53317

Engineering Steels into consideration

for purposes of determining the net

subsidies attributable to the

merchandise subject to this review

period. Accordingly, we are assigning

two net subsidy rates for the POR: one

for UES which will apply to exports

prior to March 21, 1995, and one for BS

plc/BSES/UES which will apply to

exports on or after March 21, 1995.

Final Results of Review

In accordance with 19 CFR

355.22(c)(7)(ii), we calculated an

individual subsidy rate for each

producer/exporter subject to this

administrative review. As explained in

the ‘‘Change in Ownership’’ section of

the notice, above, we have calculated

two net subsidy rates for the

merchandise subject to this period of

review: one for UES which will apply

for that part of the review period prior

to the change in ownership of UES, and

one for BS plc/BSES/UES which will

apply for that part of the review period

on and after the change in ownership

when UES became a consolidated

subsidiary of BS plc. Thus, the net

subsidy for UES is 2.40 percent ad

valorem for the period January 1, 1995

through March 20, 1995, and the net

subsidy for British Steel plc/British

Steel Engineering Steels/United

Engineering Steels (BS plc/BSES/UES)

is 7.35 percent ad valorem for the

period March 21, 1995 through

December 31, 1995.

We will instruct the U.S. Customs

Service (Customs) to assess

countervailing duties as indicated

above. The Department will also

instruct Customs to collect cash

deposits of estimated countervailing

duties in the percentage detailed above

(for BS plc/BSES/UES) of the f.o.b.

invoice price on all shipments of the

subject merchandise from reviewed

companies, entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date of publication of the final

results of this review.

Because the URAA replaced the

general rule in favor of a country-wide

rate with a general rule in favor of

individual rates for investigated and

reviewed companies, the procedures for

establishing countervailing duty rates,

including those for non-reviewed

companies, are now essentially the same

as those in antidumping cases, except as

provided for in § 777A(e)(2)(B) of the

Act. The requested review will normally

cover only those companies specifically

named. See 19 CFR 355.22(a). Pursuant

to 19 CFR 355.22(g), for all companies

for which a review was not requested,

duties must be assessed at the cash

deposit rate, and cash deposits must

continue to be collected at the rate

previously ordered. As such, the

countervailing duty cash deposit rate

applicable to a company can no longer

change, except pursuant to a request for

a review of that company. See FederalMogul Corporation and The Torrington

Company v. United States, 822 F. Supp.

782 (CIT 1993), and Floral Trade

Council v. United States, 822 F. Supp.

766 (CIT 1993) (interpreting 19 CFR

353.22(e), the antidumping regulation

on automatic assessment, which is

identical to 19 CFR 355.22(g)).

Therefore, the cash deposit rates for all

companies except those covered by this

review will be unchanged by the results

of this review.

We will instruct Customs to continue

to collect cash deposits for nonreviewed companies at the most recent

company-specific or country-wide rate

applicable to the company. Accordingly,

the cash deposit rates that will be

applied to non-reviewed companies

covered by this order are those

established in the most recently

completed administrative proceeding,

conducted pursuant to the statutory

provisions that were in effect prior to

the URAA amendments. See Certain

Hot-Rolled Lead and Bismuth Carbon

Steel Products from the United

Kingdom; Final Results of

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Review, 61 FR 58377 (November 14,

1996). These rates shall apply to all nonreviewed companies until a review of a

company assigned these rates is

requested. In addition, for the period

January 1, 1995 through December 31,

1995, the assessment rates applicable to

all non-reviewed companies covered by

this order are the cash deposit rates in

effect at the time of entry.

This notice serves as a reminder to

parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 355.34(d). Timely written

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section 751(a)(1)

of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RSAP

will review a 1997 NMFS stock

assessment for red snapper and,

optionally, a stock assessment for gag

(grouper), and available biological

information on gray triggerfish. The

RFAP will also review reports on the

above species from the Reef Fish Stock

Assessment Panel (RFSAP), and the

Socioeconomic Panel (SEP). Based on

these reports, the RSAP will make

recommendations for total allowable

catch (TAC) of red snapper in 1998 and

other management measures. The RSAP

will also be asked to develop

recommendations for controlling

recreational harvest of red snapper in

order to prevent a closure of the

recreational fishery when the

recreational quota is reached. The RSAP

may also make recommendations for

management measures for gag and gray

triggerfish.

The RSAP may review Draft

Amendment 16 to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico. This

amendment contains proposed

management measures for fish traps,

minor amberjack species (lesser

amberjack, banded rudderfish, and

Almaco jack), species listed as not in the

management unit, compatible size and

bag limits with Florida for several reef

fish species, management measures for

speckled hind and warsaw grouper in

response to those species having been

added to the candidate list of species for

possible listing as threatened or

endangered, and changes to the method

of allocating TAC among user groups.

The SSC will review the stock

assessments for red snapper and gag,

available biological information on gray

triggerfish, and the reports from the

RFSAP and the SEP. The SSC will

provide recommendations to the

Council on the scientific merits of these

reports; and it may recommend levels

for TAC, bag limits, size limits,

commercial quotas, and other measures

for red snapper and gag for the 1998

season. The SSC could also recommend

future management measures or

research/data needs for gray triggerfish.

In addition, the SSC will review Draft

Amendment 16 to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico. The

SSC may provide recommendations to

the Council on the scientific merits of

the alternatives contained in this

amendment as noted above.

The Reef Fish (RFAP) will review a

1997 NMFS stock assessment for gag,

available biological information on gray

triggerfish, and optionally, a 1997 stock

assessment for red snapper. The RFAP

will also review reports on the above

species from the RFSAP, and the SEP.

Based on these reports, the RFAP may

make recommendations to the Council

for a TAC of gag in 1998 and possibly

other management measures. The RFAP

may also recommend future

management measures for gray

triggerfish. The RFAP may also make

recommendations for 1998 gag TAC and

other management measures.

Optionally, the RFAP may make

recommendations for TAC of red

snapper in 1998 and other management

measures for red snapper. In addition,

the RFAP will review the previously

mentioned alternatives in Draft

Amendment 16 to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico.

Based on recommendations from the

above meetings, the Council, at its

November meeting in Longboat Key,

Florida, will decide if changes are

needed to the red snapper TAC and

possibly other management measures

for red snapper. The Council will also

determine if a TAC or additional

management measures are needed for

gag, or if future management measures

or additional research/data are needed

for gray triggerfish. The Council will

also review and modify Draft

Amendment 16 to the Fishery

Management Plan for the Reef Fish

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico.

A copy of the agenda can be obtained

by calling 813–228–2815.

Although other issues not on the

agenda may come before the Council for

discussion, in accordance with the

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act,

those issues may not be the subject of

formal Council action during this

meeting. Council action will be

restricted to those issues specifically
