Further, pursuant to the CIT’s July 3, 

2018, final judgment, Commerce is also 

excluding Dunhua City Jisen Wood 

Industry Co., Ltd., Fine Furniture 

(Shanghai) Limited, and Armstrong 

Wood Products (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., 

from the order. Section 735(c)(2)(A)–(B) 

of the Act instructs Commerce to 

terminate suspension of liquidation and 

to release any bond or other security, 

and refund any cash deposit, in the 

event of a negative determination. Here, 

suspension of liquidation must continue 

during the pendency of the appeals 

process (in accordance with Timken and 

as discussed above), and, therefore, we 

will continue to instruct CBP at this 

time to (A) continue suspension at a 

cash deposit rate of zero percent until 

instructed otherwise; and (B) release 

any bond or other security, and refund 

any cash deposit made pursuant to the 

order by Dunhua City Jisen Wood 

Industry Co., Ltd., Fine Furniture 

(Shanghai) Limited, and Armstrong 

Wood Products (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. In 

the event that the CIT’s ruling is not 

appealed, or appealed and upheld by 

the CAFC, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate those 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise without regard to 

antidumping duties.

NOAA’s Implementation of the 

Department of Commerce 2018–2022 

Strategic Plan; Public Meetings 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Under Secretary 

of Commerce (USEC) for Oceans and 

Atmosphere is holding multiple 

listening sessions to provide 

information and receive stakeholder 

input regarding implementation of the 

Department of Commerce’s 2018–2022 

Strategic Plan. Focal topics will be 

implementation of the Weather 

Research and Forecasting Innovation 

Act of 2017, reducing the seafood trade 

deficit, supporting maritime commerce, 

fisheries, recreation and tourism. The 

listening sessions will include 

presentations and time for stakeholder 

input into the development of priority 

objectives. The meeting topics are 

described under the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of the notice. 

DATES: The meetings will be held 

between August and November 2018. 

For specific dates and times, see 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

ADDRESSES: Meeting address: The 

meetings will be held in Norman, OK; 

Juneau, AK; St. Petersburg, FL; 

Madison, WI; Charleston, SC; Seattle, 

WA; San Diego, CA and Durham, NC. 

For specific locations, see 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie 

Kay Roberts, Director of 

Communications, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration; telephone: 

202–482–6090. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) has several 

initiatives underway to support the 

Department of Commerce (DOC) 2018– 

2022 Strategic Plan. NOAA will address 

the priority of reducing extreme weather 

impacts through the implementation of 

the Weather Research and Forecasting 

Innovation Act (Act). Among other 

requirements, the Act directs NOAA to 

improve seasonal and sub-seasonal 

forecasts, an area of forecasting that 

presents significant opportunity for 

improvement. NOAA is also interested 

in ideas to expand marine aquaculture 

across the United States as a means of 

creating quality jobs in coastal 

communities and reducing the seafood 

trade deficit. Other aspects to support 

domestic fisheries include reducing 

regulatory burden for wild-caught 

fisheries, implementing and enforcing 

recent regulations that establish 

minimum standards for imported 

seafood, and increasing foreign market 

access for U.S. seafood products. NOAA 

is also interested in pursuing efforts to 

support commerce through expanding 

precision maritime navigation products, 

ecotourism through the National Marine 

Sanctuaries Program, and harnessing the 

deep sea through ocean exploration. 

NOAA also intends to re-energize the 

National Oceanographic Partnership 

Program—a federal program that 

facilitates public-private partnerships to 

fund marine research. 

For the listening sessions, the Office 

of Under Secretary of Commerce (USEC) 

for Oceans and Atmosphere will present 

background on these ideas and solicit 

comment from stakeholders. The focus 

of each public meeting and structure of 

public comment will be at the discretion 

of the presenters and NOAA staff. The 

USEC schedule, location, and agenda for 

the following eight meetings are as 

follows with exact times and locations 

to be released at least 14 days in 

advance of the events at http://

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Port of Kalama 

Expansion Project on the Lower 

Columbia River 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; proposed incidental 

harassment authorization; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS received a request from 

the Port of Kalama (POK) to issue an 

incidental harassment authorization 

(IHA) previously issued to the POK to 

incidentally take three species of marine 

mammal, by Level B harassment only, 

during construction activities associated 

with an expansion project at the Port of 

Kalama on the Lower Columbia River, 

Washington. The current IHA was 

issued in 2017 and is in effect until 

August 31, 2018 (2017–2018 IHA). 

However, the project has been delayed 

such that none of the work covered by 

the 2017–2018 IHA has been initiated 

and, therefore, the POK requested that 

an IHA be issued to conduct their work 

beginning on or about September 1, 

2018 (2018–2019 IHA). NMFS is seeking 

public comment on its proposal to issue 

the 2018–2019 IHA to cover the 

incidental take analyzed and authorized 

in the 2017–2018 IHA. Pursuant to the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA), NMFS is requesting comments 

on its proposal to issue an IHA to POK 

to incidentally take, by Level B 

harassment, small numbers of marine 

mammals during the specified activities. 

The authorized take numbers and 

related analyses would be the same as 

for the 2017–2018 IHA, and the required 

mitigation, monitoring, and reporting 

would remain the same as authorized in 

the 2017–2018 IHA referenced above. 

NMFS will consider public comments 

prior to making any final decision on 

the issuance of the requested MMPA 

authorization and agency responses will 

be summarized in the final notice of our 

decision. 

DATES: Comments and information must 

be received no later than August 24, 

2018. 

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy of the 

final Authorization issued in 2017 and 

supporting material along with an 

updated IHA request memo from POK 

may be obtained by visiting https://

Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated 

to NMFS) to allow, upon request, the 

incidental, but not intentional, taking of 

small numbers of marine mammals by 

U.S. citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographical region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival. 

The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ 

means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or 

attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill 

any marine mammal. 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i) 

has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has
