Amended Cash Deposits and 

Suspension of Liquidation 

The collection of cash deposits and 

suspension of liquidation will be 

revised according to the rates calculated 

in this amended preliminary 

determination. Because the amended 

rates for the Sailun Group and separate 

rate companies results in reduced cash 

deposits, the rate for Sailun Group will 

be effective retroactively to January 27, 

2015, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination, and the rate 

for separate rate companies will be 

effective retroactively to October 29, 

2014, which is 90 days before the date 

of publication of the Preliminary 

Determination. Parties will be notified 

of this determination, in accordance 

with sections 733(d) and (f) of the Act. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, we notified the International 

Trade Commission of our amended 

preliminary determination. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

The Department intends to disclose 

calculations performed in connection 

with this amended preliminary 

determination within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

This amended preliminary 

determination is issued and published 

in accordance with sections 733(f) and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance for the collection of data 

concerning the Annual Social and 

Economic Supplement (ASEC) to be 

conducted in conjunction with the 

February, March, and April Current 

Population Survey (CPS). The Census 

Bureau has conducted this supplement 

annually for more than 50 years. The 

Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics sponsor this supplement. 

The ASEC data collection underwent 

a transition period from 2013 to 2015, 

in which it was redesigned to include a 

new series of questions relating to (1) 

income; and (2) health insurance. For 

2016, the data collection questions and 

design will remain unchanged from the 

previous year. 

For this data collection, information 

on work experience, personal income, 

noncash benefits, current and previous 

year health insurance coverage, 

employer-sponsored insurance take-up, 

and migration is collected. The work 

experience items in the ASEC provide a 

unique measure of the dynamic nature 

of the labor force as viewed over a oneyear period. These items produce 

statistics that show movements in and 

out of the labor force by measuring the 

number of periods of unemployment 

experienced by people, the number of 

different employers worked for during 

the year, the principal reasons for 

unemployment, and part-/full-time 

attachment to the labor force. We can 

make indirect measurements of 

discouraged workers and others with a 

casual attachment to the labor market. 

The income data from the ASEC are 

used by social planners, economists, 

government officials, and market 

researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the country as a whole, and 

selected population groups of interest. 

Government planners and researchers 

use these data to monitor and evaluate 

the effectiveness of various assistance 

programs. Market researchers use these 

data to identify and isolate potential 

customers. Social planners use these 

data to forecast economic conditions 

and to identify special groups that seem 

to be especially sensitive to economic 

fluctuations. Economists use ASEC data 

to determine the effects of various 

economic forces, such as inflation, 

recession, recovery, and so on, and their 

differential effects on various 

population groups. 

A prime statistic of interest is the 

classification of people in poverty and 

how this measurement has changed over 

time for various groups. Researchers 

evaluate ASEC income data not only to 

determine poverty levels but also to 

determine whether government 

programs are reaching eligible 

households. 

The ASEC also contains questions 

related to: (1) Medical expenditures; (2) 

presence and cost of a mortgage on 

property; (3) child support payments; 

and (4) amount of child care assistance 

received. These questions enable 

analysts and policymakers to obtain 

better estimates of family and household 

income, and more precisely gauge 

poverty status. 

II. Method of Collection 

The ASEC information will be 

collected by both personal visit and 

telephone interviews in conjunction 

with the regular February, March and 

April CPS interviewing. All interviews 

are conducted using computer-assisted 

interviewing.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS); 

notice of initiation of scoping process; 

notice of public scoping meetings; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council announces its 

intent to prepare, in cooperation with 

NMFS, an amendment to the Fishery 

Management Plan for Atlantic Mackerel, 

Squid, and Butterfish, and to potentially 

prepare an EIS in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act to 

analyze the impacts of any proposed 

management measures. The current 

focus of the amendment is to consider 

alternatives to reduce the capacities of 

the longfin squid and Illex squid fleets 

as defined by vessels with limited 

access permits. This notice announces a 

public process for determining the 

scope of issues to be addressed, for 

identifying concerns and potential 

alternatives related to capacity in the 

squid fisheries, and for determining the 

appropriate level of environmental 

analysis. This notice alerts the 

interested public of the scoping process, 

the potential development of a Draft 

EIS, and provides for public 

participation in that process. The MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council 

will hold six scoping hearings in April 

2015 for this amendment. At the 

scoping hearings the Council will also 

take any general comments on mackerel, 

squid, and butterfish fisheries 

management, which could inform future 

Council actions not including this 

amendment. 

DATES: The meetings will be held over 

several weeks between April 6, 2015 

and April 21, 2015. Written comments 

must be received on or before 11:59 

p.m., EST, on May 11, 2015.

Background 

In the Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council’s (Council) 2015 

Implementation Plan (available at 

http://www.mafmc.org/strategic-plan/), 

the Council decided to initiate an action 

on a ‘‘Squid Capacity Amendment.’’ 

There is considerable latent capacity in 

both the longfin squid and Illex squid 

fisheries; a small portion of vessels with 

limited access squid permits account for 

most landings in most years. The 

Council is concerned that activation of 

this latent capacity could cause 

problems in the fishery such as racing 

to fish and increased incidental catch of 

non-target species. Accordingly, the 

Amendment is likely to consider a 

variety of approaches for reducing 

capacity in the squid fisheries. Such 

approaches could include, but would 

not be limited to: A requalification of 

limited access permits; a tiered limited 

access system; and/or a limited access 

privilege program (LAPP), which is 

more commonly referred to as an
