Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices 30703

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice also serves as a

preliminary reminder to importers of

their responsibility under 19 CFR

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

regarding the reimbursement of

antidumping duties prior to liquidation

of the relevant entries during this

review period. Failure to comply with

this requirement could result in the

Secretary’s presumption that

reimbursement of the antidumping

duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping

duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective orders (APOs) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305, that continues to

govern business proprietary information

in this segment of the proceeding.

Timely written notification of the

return/destruction of APO materials or

conversion to judicial protective order is

hereby requested. Failure to comply

with the regulations and the terms of an

APO is a sanctionable violation.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: May 31, 2001.

Assistant Secretary for Import

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

following ESA-listed species and

evolutionarily significant units (ESUs)

are covered in this notice:

Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

tshawytscha): Threatened Lower

Columbia River (LCR); Threatened

Upper Willamette River (UWR); and

Threatened Puget Sound (PS).

Chum Salmon (O. nerka): Threatened

Columbia River (CR).

Coho salmon (O. kisutch): Threatened

Oregon Coast (OC).

Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened

LCR; Threatened Middle Columbia

River (MCR); and Threatened UWR.

New Applications Received

The USGS is seeking a 5-year permit

(1317) to take (capture and handle)

juvenile MCR steelhead during

scientific research efforts on the

Toppenish National Wildlife Refuge

(TNWR), Toppenish Creek, WA.

Toppenish Creek is a tributary of the

Yakima River. The purpose of the study

is to determine whether juvenile MCR

steelhead are entering the TNWR’s

wetland management units during the

spring flooding of Toppenish creek and

becoming trapped there–thus becoming

vulnerable to avian predators, high

summer water temperatures, and

stranding. The study will benefit MCR

steelhead by showing whether they are

straying into the wetland management

units and managing to escape back to

Toppenish Creek to continue their

downstream migration. If the juvenile

MCR steelhead are being trapped in the

management units by falling water

levels, the study will also be used to

help guide TNWR operations so that the

fish are less likely to be harmed in the

future. The USGS proposes to capture,

handle, and release juvenile MCR

steelhead. Baited minnow traps will be

the primary capture method, but fyke

nets or electrofishing may be used if the

traps are not successful.

The ODFW is seeking a 5-year permit

(1318) to annually take LCR chinook

salmon, UWR chinook salmon, Oregon

Coast coho salmon, LCR steelhead, and

UWR steelhead during the course of

conducting five separate scientific

research projects. Only juveniles will be

taken in these projects–except for
