Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 188 / Thursday, September 29, 2005 / Notices 56891 

Background 

On August 2, 2004, the Department 

initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on candles from the PRC pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation 

of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 69 FR 

46134 (August 2, 2004). As a result of 

its review, the Department found that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and notified the ITC of the magnitude of 

the margins likely to prevail were the 

order to be revoked. See Petroleum Wax 

Candles from the People’s Republic of 

China; Final Results of the Expedited 

Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty 

Order, 69 FR 75302 (December 16, 

2004). 

On August 3, 2005, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, the ITC 

determined that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on candles 

from the PRC would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. See Petroleum Wax Candles from 

the People’s Republic of China, 

Investigation 731–TA–282 (Second 

Review), 70 FR 44695 (August 3, 2005). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain scented or unscented 

petroleum wax candles made from 

petroleum wax and having fiber or 

paper–cored wicks. They are sold in the 

following shapes: tapers, spirals and 

straight–sided dinner candles; rounds, 

columns, pillars, votives; and various 

wax–filled containers. The products 

were originally classifiable under the 

Tariff Schedules of the United States 

item 755.25, Candles and Tapers. The 

products are currently classifiable under 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule item 

number 3406.00.00. The Department 

determined several products were 

excluded from the scope of this order. 

For a complete list of the Department’s 

scope rulings, please check our website 

at http://www.ia.ita.doc.gov/download/ 

candles–prc-scope. Also, additional 

scope determinations are pending. The 

written description remains dispositive. 

Determination 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of this antidumping duty 

order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department 

hereby orders the continuation of the 

antidumping duty order on candles 

from the PRC. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

will continue to collect antidumping 

duty deposits at the rates in effect at the 

time of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. The effective date of 

continuation of this order is August 10, 

2005. Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 

751(c)(6) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of this order not later than 

August 2010. 

Dated: September 20, 2005.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 13, 2005, NMFS 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the 2006 Monkfish 

RSA Program (70 FR 54028). This 

program, established through 

Amendment 2 to the Monkfish Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) to annually set 

aside 500 monkfish days-at-sea (DAS) 

from the total DAS allocated to limited 

access monkfish permit holders, is to be 

utilized for monkfish related research 

activities. The September 13, 2005, 

notice also solicited proposals for 

monkfish research activities to be 

conducted under this RSA program. 

However, the ‘‘Evaluation Criteria’’

listed on pages 54029 and 54030 of the 

Federal Register notice did not include 

all of the information contained in the 

‘‘Evaluation Criteria’’ listed in the FFO. 

Therefore, in order to make the Federal 

Register notice announcing the 2006 

Monkfish RSA Program consistent with 

the FFO for the Monkfish RSA Program, 

NMFS corrects the ‘‘Evaluation Criteria’’

contained in the September 13, 2005, 

Federal Register notice to read as 

follows: 

1. Importance and/or relevance and 

applicability of the proposed project: 

This criterion ascertains whether there 

is intrinsic value in the proposed work 

and/or relevance to NOAA, Federal, 

regional, state, or local activities. For the 

2006 Monkfish RSA Program, provide a 

clear definition of the problem, need, 

issue, or hypothesis to be addressed. 

The proposal should describe its 

relevance to RSA program priorities and 

56892 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 188 / Thursday, September 29, 2005 / Notices 

detail how the data gathered from the 

research will be used to enhance the 

understanding of the fishery resource or 

contribute to the body of information on 

which management decisions are made. 

If not directly related to priorities listed 

in this solicitation, provide justification 

why the proposed project should be 

considered. (25 points) 

2. Technical/scientific merit: This 

criterion assesses whether the approach 

is technically sound and/or innovative, 

if the methods are appropriate, and 

whether there are clear project goals and 

objectives. Special emphasis will be 

given to proposals that foster and 

improve cooperative interactions with 

NMFS. A clear definition of the 

approach to be used including 

description of field work, theoretical 

studies, and laboratory analysis to 

support the proposed research, and the 

ability of the applicant to utilize all 

allocated research DAS during the 2006 

fishing year in the area and time 

proposed is important. The time frame 

for utilizing research DAS and 

conducting the proposed research 

should be clearly specified. Activities 

that take place over a wider versus 

narrower geographical range, where 

appropriate, are preferred. (25 points) 

3. Overall qualifications of the project: 

This criterion assesses whether the 

applicant, and team members, posses 

the necessary education, experience, 

training, facilities, and administrative 

resources to accomplish the project. 

This includes demonstration of support, 

cooperation and/or collaboration with 

the fishing industry, and qualifications/ 

experience of project participants. 

Where appropriate, combined proposals 

involving multiple principal 

investigators are preferred versus 

separate stand-alone proposals on 

related projects. For proposals involving 

multiple vessels, special attention will 

be given to specification of safeguards to 

ensure that the authorized DAS setaside will not be exceeded. (15 points) 

4. Project costs: This criterion 

evaluates the budget to determine if it 

is realistic and commensurate with the 

project needs and time frame. Costeffectiveness of the project is 

considered. The anticipated revenue 

from the DAS set-aside should be 

commensurate with estimated project 

costs, and generally should not exceed 

2.5 times the cost of the associated 

research. Economic and budget 

projections should be quantified, to the 

extent possible. Where appropriate, use 

of existing equipment (fishing gear) is 

preferred versus acquisition of new 

equipment. (25 points) 

5. Outreach and education: This 

criterion assesses whether the project 

involves a focused and effective 

education and outreach strategy 

regarding NOAA’s mission to protect 

the Nation’s natural resources. This 

includes identification of anticipated 

benefits, potential users, likelihood of 

success, and methods of disseminating 

results. Where appropriate, data 

generated from the research must be 

formatted in a manner consistent with 

NMFS and Atlantic Coastal Cooperative 

Statistics Program (ACCSP) databases. A 

copy of this format is available from 

NMFS. (10 points) 

All other requirements for this 

solicitation remain the same.
