The petitions were submitted

pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently,

the United States Department of

Commerce has initiated separate

investigations to determine whether

increased imports into the United States

of articles like or directly competitive

with those produced by each firm

contributed importantly to total or

partial separation of the firm’s workers,

or threat thereof, and to a decrease in

sales or production of each petitioning

firm.

Any party having a substantial

interest in the proceedings may request

a public hearing on the matter. A

request for a hearing must be received

by the Trade Adjustment Assistance

Division, Room 7023, Economic

Development Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, Washington,

D.C. 20230, no later than the close of

business of the tenth calendar day

following the publication of this notice.

applicant had submitted a request for a

scientific research permit to ‘‘take’’ by

Level A and Level B harassment

Hawaiian monk seals (Monachus

Midway Atoll. The research will be

conducted over an 5-year period and

research is to study the natural history

and behavior of monk seals at Midway

issued under the authority of the Marine

1531 et seq.), and the Regulations

Governing the Taking, Importing, and

Exporting of Endangered Fish and

Wildlife (50 CFR part 222). Issuance of

this permit, as required by the ESA, was

based on a finding that such permit: (1)

Was applied for in good faith; (2) will

not operate to the disadvantage of the

endangered species which is the subject

of this permit; and (3) is consistent with

the purposes and policies set forth in

section 2 of the ESA.
