Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 1997 / Notices 66603

Assistant Secretary, Import

Administration, dated November 23,

1997.

In determining the basis for export

price, we examine the price at which

the first party in the chain of

distribution which has knowledge of the

U.S. destination of the merchandise

sells the subject merchandise, either

directly to a U.S. purchaser or to an

intermediary such as a trading

company. The party making such a sale,

with knowledge of destination, is the

appropriate party to be reviewed. See

Fresh Garlic From the People’s Republic

of China: Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review and Partial Termination of

Administrative Review 61 FR 68229

(December 27, 1996).

In this case, GSA’s unaffiliated

producer knew or had reason to know

that its merchandise was destined for

export to the United States at the time

it sold the merchandise to GSA.

Therefore, we determine that it is

inappropriate to review GSA’s sales

transactions. Moreover, no request was

made to review the producer’s sales.

Accordingly, we are terminating the

current new shipper review with respect

to GSA.

This notice is published pursuant to

19 CFR 353.22(h).

Dated: December 12, 1997.

Assistant Secretary, For Import

Administration.

ACTION: Notice of public meetings.

SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico Fishery

Management Council (Council) will

convene a public meeting of the Reef

Fish Stock Assessment Panel (RFSAP)

and the Standing and Special Reef Fish

Scientific and Statistical Committee

(SSC).

DATES: A joint meeting of the RFSAP

and Standing and Special Reef Fish SSC

will be held beginning at 1:00 p.m. on

Monday, January 5, 1998, and will

conclude by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday,

January 8, 1998.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science

Center, 75 Virginia Beach Drive, Miami,

FL.

Council address: 3018 U.S. Highway

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Steven Atran, Population Dynamics

Statistician, Gulf of Mexico Fishery

Management Council; telephone: 813–

228–2815.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

RFSAP and SSC will review the NMFS

Gulf of Mexico red snapper stock

assessment that was prepared in

October 1997. The RFSAP conducted a

preliminary review of this assessment in

October, but were unable to recommend

an acceptable biological catch (ABC) at

that time due to insufficient time to

conduct a thorough review. In addition

to the NMFS Gulf of Mexico red snapper

stock assessment, the RFSAP and SSC

will also review the NMFS South

Atlantic red snapper stock assessment

for comparison to the Gulf of Mexico

assessment; an independent Gulf of

Mexico red snapper stock assessment by

Dr. Brian Rothschild, University of

Massachusetts; new information on

shrimp trawl bycatch reduction devices;

and independent peer group evaluations

of the red snapper management process

that were compiled for NMFS by the

American Fisheries Society.

The RFSAP is composed of biologists

who are trained in the specialized field

of population dynamics. They advise

the Council on the status of stocks and

level of ABC. The SSC is composed of

biologists, economists, and sociologists

who are knowledgeable about the

technical aspects of fisheries in the Gulf

of Mexico. They assess the acceptability

of the scientific information and of the

ABC recommendation. The SSC may

also recommend a specific level of total

allowable catch (TAC) from within the

ABC range, and management measures

needed to implement the TAC, in

particular, management measures that

may prevent a recreational quota closure

in 1998.

The Council will set the 1998 red

snapper TAC and associated

management measures at its meeting in

Point Clear, AL, on January 19–23, 1998,

based on the recommendations of the

RFSAP, SSC, and public testimony that

will be taken at the Council meeting.

Although other issues not contained

in this agenda may come before the joint

RFSAP/SSC for discussion, in

accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens

Fishery Conservation Act, those issues

may not be the subject of formal action

during this meeting. RFSAP/SSC action

will be restricted to those issues

specifically identified in the agenda

listed in this notice.

A copy of the agenda can be obtained

by contacting the Council (see

ADDRESSES).
