Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

will determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Rate 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amount indicated above 

with regard to shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review. For all nonreviewed firms, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties in this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register.5 Interested parties may submit

A variety of laws, Executive Orders 

(EOs), and NOAA Fisheries strategies 

and policies include requirements for 

economic data and the analyses they 

support. When met adequately, those 

requirements allow better-informed 

conservation and management decisions 

on the use of living marine resources 

and marine habitat in federally managed 

fisheries. Obtaining these data improves 

the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the 

Regional Fishery Management Councils 

(Councils) to monitor, explain and 

predict changes in the economic 

performance and impacts of federally 

managed commercial fisheries. 

Measures of economic performance 

include costs, earnings, and profitability 

(net revenue); productivity and 

economic efficiency; capacity; economic 

stability; the level and distribution of 

net economic benefits to society; and 

market power. The economic impacts 

include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment, 

sales, value-added, and income impacts. 

Economic data are required to support 

more than a cursory effort to comply 

with or support the following laws, EOs, 

and NOAA Fisheries strategies and 

policies: 

1. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA) 

2. The Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA)

Data collections will focus each year 

on a different set of the 16 commercial 

fisheries or groups of fisheries. This 

cycle of data collection will facilitate 

economic data being available and 

updated for all those commercial 

fisheries. 

There will be an effort to coordinate 

the data collections in order to reduce 

the additional burden for those who 

participate in multiple fisheries. To 

further reduce the burden, the requested 

information for a specific fishery will be 

limited to that which is not available 

from other sources. Participation in 

these data collections will be voluntary. 

The proposed revisions to the 

information collection will: (a) Add an 

information collection for Northeast and 

Mid-Atlantic fisheries; (b) increase the 

burden hours to account for that 

addition information collection: (c) 

make minor changes to the survey forms 

that primarily provide flexibility with 

respect to when NMFS will conduct 

each of the 16 information collections; 

and (d) extend it for three years. Though 

the information collection was recently 

renewed, an extension is requested at 

this time as no additional changes to the 

collection are anticipated before the 

current expiration date. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Every 3 to 8 years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Regional 

Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries, 

Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS, has 

made a preliminary determination that 

a proposed exempted fishing permit 

contains all of the required information 

and warrants further consideration. This 

exempted fishing permit would allow 

Atlantic herring vessels to use electronic 

monitoring, coupled with portside 

sampling, in lieu of at-sea monitoring to 

satisfy their industry-funded monitoring 

requirements during 2022. Regulations 

under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

require publication of this notification 

to provide interested parties the 

opportunity to comment on applications 

for proposed exempted fishing permits. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 23, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit written 

comments by the following method:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The New England Fishery 

Management Council took final action 

on the New England Industry-Funded 

Monitoring (IFM) Omnibus Amendment 

in 2018 and recommended a 50-percent 

coverage target for at-sea monitoring 

(ASM) coverage aboard vessels issued a 

Category A or B herring permit. This 50- 

percent coverage target includes a 

combination of Standardized Bycatch 

Reporting Methodology (SBRM) and 

IFM coverage. IFM coverage 

requirements may be waived on a tripby-trip basis if monitoring coverage is 

unavailable, if vessels intend to land 

less than 50 mt of herring, or if vessels 

carry no fish on pair trawling trips (i.e., 

wing vessels). The IFM Amendment 

also included a provision allowing 

midwater trawl vessels to purchase 

observer coverage in order to fish in 

Groundfish Closed Areas (GCA). 

The Council reviewed the results from 

a midwater trawl electronic monitoring 

(EM) pilot study and concluded that a 

combination of EM and portside 

sampling was an appropriate substitute 

for ASM aboard midwater trawl vessels. 

However, rather than including EM and 

portside requirements in the IFM 

Amendment, the Council recommended 

that NMFS administer EM and portside 

sampling via an exempted fishing 

permit (EFP) for midwater trawl vessels 

during the first 2 years of IFM in the 

herring fishery. The Council is required 

to evaluate the effectiveness of the 

herring IFM program 2 years after 

implementation of the amendment. In 

July 2021, NMFS issued an EFP 

authorizing six herring vessels to use 

EM and portside sampling in lieu of 

ASM to satisfy their IFM requirements 

during the first year of IFM in the 

herring fishery. The issuance of this 

2022 EFP would cover the second year 

of IFM in the herring fishery. The 

Council would consider lessons learned 

through the 2021 and 2022 EFPs when 

reviewing herring IFM requirements and 

considering how to most effectively and 

efficiently administer an EM and 

portside sampling program for the 

herring fishery. 

Herring fishing effort has been limited 

in IFM year 2021 due to low annual 

catch limits (ACL). As of February 15, 

2022, participating vessels completed 27 

trips under the 2021 EFP: 

• Eight trips were selected for IFM 

coverage. Coverage waivers were issued 

for seven of these trips, and one was 

portside sampled; 

• One GCA trip was taken, and that 

trip was portside sampled; and 

• Twelve trips were eligible for EM 

video review (i.e., there was fishing 

effort). Video review had been 

completed for 11 of these trips. 

Findings from the voluntary EM 

study, as well as analyses in the 

Environmental Assessment for the IFM 

Amendment, suggest that EM and 

portside sampling may be a more costeffective monitoring option than at-sea 

monitors or observers for the herring 

fishery. Developing another permanent 

monitoring option for the herring 

fishery would give herring vessels 

additional flexibility to select the most 

cost-effective monitoring option for 

their fishing operations, which would 

help mitigate the negative economic 

impacts of recent reductions to herring 

ACLs. Additionally, information 

gathered through this EFP would also 

help further evaluate the utility of EM 

and portside sampling to monitor 

fishing in GCAs, and to monitor herring 

vessels fishing with purse seine or 

bottom trawl gear. 

Project Description 

The project period for this EFP would 

cover IFM year 2022 (April 1, 2022– 

March 31, 2023), contingent upon 

availability of funds. Under this EFP, up 

to 21 vessels holding Category A or B 

herring permits would be required to 

run EM systems (video cameras and gear 

sensors) on 100 percent of declared 

herring trips, except under the following 

circumstance: If a vessel using midwater 

trawl gear intends to operate as a wing 

vessel on a trip (meaning it will pair 

trawl with another midwater trawl 

vessel but will not pump or carry any 

fish onboard), and NMFS issues the 

wing vessel a waiver from IFM 

requirements for that trip, the wing 

vessel does not need to run its EM 

system during that trip. Declared 

herring trips include any trips declared 

using the herring (HER) plan code, or 

any trips where the vessel indicates that 

it is retaining herring when 

participating in the Atlantic mackerel 

(e.g., mackerel trip with herring 

retention (MAH), mackerel trip with 

herring and squid retention (MHS)) or 

the squid fishery (e.g., longfin squid trip 

with herring retention (SLH), longfin 

squid trip with herring and mackerel 

retention (LHM), Illex squid trip with 

herring retention (SIH), Illex squid trip 

with herring and mackerel 

retention(IHM)). 

The purpose of EM is to confirm catch 

retention and verify compliance with 

slippage restrictions. Participating 

vessels would be required to run EM 

systems regardless of whether they are 

carrying an SBRM observer on trips that 

are selected for SBRM coverage. 

Participating vessels would be required 

to adhere to all normal reporting
