SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

702 of the Trade Agreements Act of 

1979 (as amended) (‘‘the Act’’) requires 

the Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) to determine, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Agriculture, whether any foreign 

government is providing a subsidy with 

respect to any article of cheese subject 

to an in-quota rate of duty, as defined 

in section 702(h) of the Act, and to 

publish an annual list and quarterly 

updates to the type and amount of those 

subsidies. We hereby provide the 

Department’s quarterly update of 

subsidies on articles of cheese that were 

imported during the period October 1, 

2011, through December 31, 2011. 

The Department has developed, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Agriculture, information on subsidies 

(as defined in section 702(h) of the Act) 

being provided either directly or 

indirectly by foreign governments on 

articles of cheese subject to an in-quota 

rate of duty. The appendix to this notice 

lists the country, the subsidy program or 

programs, and the gross and net 

amounts of each subsidy for which 

information is currently available. The 

Department will incorporate additional 

programs which are found to constitute 

subsidies, and additional information 

on the subsidy programs listed, as the 

information is developed. 

The Department encourages any 

person having information on foreign 

government subsidy programs which 

benefit articles of cheese subject to an 

in-quota rate of duty to submit such 

information in writing to the Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 

19 of the North American Free Trade 

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) established a 

mechanism to replace domestic judicial 

review of final determinations in 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

cases involving imports from a NAFTA 

country with review by independent 

binational panels. When a Request for 

Panel Review is filed, a panel is 

established to act in place of national 

courts to review expeditiously the final 

determination to determine whether it 

conforms with the antidumping or 

countervailing duty law of the country 

that made the determination. 

Under Article 1904 of the Agreement, 

which came into force on January 1, 

1994, the Government of the United 

States, the Government of Canada, and 

the Government of Mexico established 

Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 

Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’). 

These Rules were published in the 

Federal Register on February 23, 1994 

(59 FR 8686). 

A first Request for Panel Review was 

filed with the United States Section of 

the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to 

Article 1904 of the Agreement, on 

March 18, 2011, requesting a panel 

review of the determination and order 

described above. 

The Rules provide that: 

(a) A Party or interested person may 

challenge the final determination in 

whole or in part by filing a Complaint 

in accordance with Rule 39 within 30 

days after the filing of the first Request 

for Panel Review (the deadline for filing 

a Complaint is March 12, 2012); 

(b) A Party, investigating authority or 

interested person that does not file a 

Complaint but that intends to appear in 

support of any reviewable portion of the 

final determination may participate in 

the panel review by filing a Notice of 

Appearance in accordance with Rule 40 

within 45 days after the filing of the first

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The United States (U.S.) Coral Reef 

Task Force (USCRTF) was established in 

1998 by Executive Order 13089 to lead 

and coordinate U.S. efforts to address 

the threats facing coral reefs. The 

Hawaii Coral Reef Working Group 

(CRWG), composed of key state and 

federal partners involved in coral reef 

management, was established through a 

local charter to provide guidance to the 

State of Hawaii’s coral program and to 

prioritize sites to implement specific 

ridge-to-reef management activities. 

Priority sites are areas where coral reef 

ecosystems of high biological value are 

threatened but have strong potential for 

improvement with management 

intervention. The current two priority 

sites in Hawaii are South Kohala on the 

Big Island (Pelekane Bay-PuakoAnaeho‘omalu Bay, Hawai‘i) and West 

Maui (Ka‘anapali-Kahekili, Maui). At 

both sites, multiple partners are 

collaborating to produce conservation 

action plans to conserve resources and 

human uses. 

The Human Dimensions Research 

Program at NOAA Fisheries Pacific 

Islands Fisheries Science Center is 

initiating a survey to support 

development of these conservation 

action plans, including management 

actions in watersheds and in the coral 

reef ecosystems in the two priority sites. 

The purpose of this survey is to identify 

resident users’ knowledge, attitudes, 

and perceptions regarding coral reef and 

watershed conditions and alternative 

management strategies to protect 

resources at the two priority sites. 

Information from this survey is 

needed to inform the conservation 

action planning process initiated by the 

State of Hawaii Department of Land and 

Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of 

Aquatic Resources (HDAR) and The 

Nature Conservancy (TNC) at the South 

Kohala site and to inform conservation 

and watershed planning being 

implemented by HDAR, The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, and other partners 

at the West Maui site. Managers have 

indicated a more immediate need for 

information at the South Kohala site; 

therefore, we will conduct the survey 

there first and the survey at West Maui 

afterwards. The information gained from 

the survey will provide priority site 

managers with essential information 

about the population of resident users 

who can both threaten reef health and 

play a key role in stewardship of reef 

resources. Conservation planners will 

gain information about the threats and 

status of coral reefs from the resident 

users who interact most with those 

systems, and help managers identify 

topics for public outreach and 

education. A representative study of 

resident users’ knowledge, attitudes, 

and perceptions will supplement 

broader public input into the 

conservation planning processes at the 

sites. 

II. Method of Collection 

Data will be collected through an 

intercept survey of adult residents 

visiting the coastal area included within 

the boundary of the two priority sites. 

Sampling will be stratified by season 

(wet/dry); day of the week (weekendholiday/weekday) and time of day 

(morning/afternoon/evening) to account 

for the expected variation in use levels 

by residents. The target sample size is 

200 respondents at each site. The only 

wording that would change on the 

surveys would be interviewer 

introductions to the survey and 

specifics about the priority site 

boundaries. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

400. 

Estimated Time per Response: 20

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
