covered in a previous review or the

original less-than-fair-value (‘‘LTFV’’)

investigation, the cash deposit rate will

continue to be the company-specific rate

published for the most recent period; (3)

if the exporter is not a firm covered in

this review, a previous review, or the

original LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

and/or exporters of this merchandise,

shall be 12.45 percent, the ‘‘all others’’

rate established in the LTFV

investigation (59 FR 66915, December

28, 1994).

These requirements, when imposed,

shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next

administrative review.

This notice also serves as a

preliminary reminder to importers of

their responsibility under 19 CFR

353.26 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 duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This administrative review and notice

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

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

management of fishing capacity. An

FAO Consultation, planned for late

October 1998, will consider draft plans

of action in these three areas. NMFS

will hold a meeting to brief the public

on the status of preparations for the

FAO Consultation. In conjunction with

the National Fish and Wildlife

Foundation, NMFS is sponsoring two

workshops in order to gather the

information necessary to contribute to

national, regional, and high seas

strategies (by ocean area) for sharks in

North America. The workshop

proceedings will be compiled into

proposed conservation and management

strategies. The workshops will be

coordinated by the World Wildlife Fund

and are open to interested observers.

1. Status of preparations for the FAO

Consultation: December 16, 11:00 a.m.

2. Shark regional workshops:

December 4 and 5, 1997,

8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Sarasota, FL,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAO, with input from the United

States and other governments, is

preparing for an FAO Consultation in

late 1998 to consider action plans on the

conservation and management of sharks,

reduction of incidental catch of seabirds

in longline fisheries, and the

management of fishing capacity. All

FAO member countries as well as

observers will be invited to the FAO

Consultation. Preparations include

meetings of expert Technical Working

Groups (TWGs) to consider draft

guidelines and plans of actions well in

advance of the FAO Consultation.

On August 8, 1997, NMFS published

a notice of U.S. involvement in the

planning and preparations for the FAO

Consultation (62 FR 42766). Additional

background information is presented in

that Federal Register notice and is not

repeated here. NMFS will host a

meeting to brief the public on the status

of preparations for the FAO

Consultation at the time and place

provided above.

Shark Regional Workshops

To assist development of background

documents for the Shark TWG, the

United States will sponsor two shark

regional workshops. The goal for the

upcoming shark regional workshops and

the subsequent TWG and FAO

Consultation is to contribute to

developing a global strategy (action

plan) and guidelines for sustainable

international and regional management

of elasmobranch species by national,

regional and highly migratory

management groups. The workshop

proceedings will be compiled into

proposed strategies and used to

contribute to the TWG, which will

provide background documents for the

FAO Consultation.

The shark regional workshops will

review—

1. Shark fisheries in the region,

including directed fisheries and

fisheries in which sharks are a bycatch

and

2. Current data collection and

management in the region.

Regional workshop participants will

also be asked to develop

recommendations on action areas,

priority issues and time targets for the

following categories:

1. Research, data collection, and

monitoring;

2. Conservation and management for

sustainable shark populations;

3. Building capacity for conservation,

research, and management;

4. Regional and international

cooperation; and

5. Funding for shark conservation and

management.

Regional workshop participants will

include fisheries scientists, shark

experts, and regional fishery

management organization

representatives. The workshops are

open to interested observers. Anyone

planning to attend as an observer should

contact Kathy Kessler (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT).

Special Accommodations

The meeting on the status of

preparations for the FAO Consultation

will be physically accessible to people

with disabilities. Requests for sign

language interpretation or other

auxiliary aids should be directed to

Dean Swanson at least 5 days prior to

the meeting date.
