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 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 Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration

[I.D. 071798C]

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions;

Atlantic Swordfish Fisheries;

Exempted Fishing Permits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Applications for EFPs; deadline

for receipt of EFP applications; request

for comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces the

availability of Exempted Fishing

Permits (EFPs) to swordfish driftnet

vessels for the 1998 swordfish driftnet

fishing season. If granted, these EFPs

would authorize directed swordfish

driftnet fishing after the closure date of

August 9, 1998. This would allow for

real-time quota monitoring and a

continued fishing season should the

swordfish driftnet quota not be caught

by the closure date.

DATES: Written comments on this

program must be received on or before

July 31, 1998. Applications for EFPs

must be received on or before July 31,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Rebecca

Lent, Chief, Highly Migratory Species

Management Division (F/SF1), NMFS,

1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring,

MD 20910. Copies of the regulations

under which exempted fishing permits

are subject may also be requested from

this address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jill

Stevenson, 301–713–2347; fax: 301–

713–1917.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These

EFPs are requested under the authority

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

Conservation and Management Act (16

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and regulations at

50 CFR 600.745 concerning scientific

research activity, exempted fishing, and

exempted educational activity. The

Atlantic swordfish driftnet fishery

typically lasts 7–14 days at which time

the quota is met and the fishery ceases.

Current Federal regulations require

NMFS to notify fishery participants 14

days in advance of a fishery closure.

This may result in a closure notice that

is published prior to the start of fishing

without benefit of observing current

catch rates. Because catch rates in this

fishery are so variable (in 1996, daily

landings ranged from 3,910 lb (1.8 mt)

dressed weight (dw) to 30,962 lb (14

mt)dw), it is preferable to implement a

real-time quota monitoring program in

which NMFS monitors daily landings of

swordfish in the fleet and ‘‘closes’’ the

fishery when the quota is met.

Fishing vessels would apply for an

EFP. EFP recipients would then be able
