North American Free-Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA), Article 1904 Binational Panel 

Reviews 

AGENCY: NAFTA Secretariat, United 

States Section, International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of decision of panel. 

SUMMARY: On November 3, 2005, the 

binational panel issued its decision in 

the review of the final determination 

made by the International Trade 

Administration, respecting Gray 

Portland Cement and Clinker from 

Mexico Final Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, Secretariat File 

No. USA–MEX–98–1904–02. The 

binational panel affirmed in part and 

remanded in part to the International 

Trade Administration. Copies of the 

panel decision are available from the 

U.S. Section of the NAFTA Secretariat.

Caratina L. Alston, United States 

Secretary, NAFTA Secretariat, Suite

Washington, DC 20230, (202) 482–5438. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 

19 of the North American Free-Trade 

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) establishes a 

mechanism to replace domestic judicial 

review of the final determinations in 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

cases involving imports from a NAFTA 

country with review by independent 

binational panels. When a Request for 

Panel Review is filed, a panel is 

established to act in place of national 

courts to review expeditiously the final 

determination to determine whether it 

conforms with the antidumping or 

countervailing duty law of the country 

that made the determination. 

Under Article 1904 of the Agreement, 

which came into force on January 1, 

1994, the Government of the United 

States, the Government of Canada and 

the Government of Mexico established 

Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 

Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’). 

These Rules were published in the 

Federal Register on February 23, 1994 

(59 FR 8686). The panel review in this 

matter has been conducted in 

accordance with these Rules. 

Panel Decision: The Panel remands 

this case to the Department as follows: 

1. Reconsider whether, the evidence 

in the record supports the conclusion 

that, Type V cement sold as Type V and 

Type II cement was not sold in the 

ordinary course of trade, and provide an 

explanation recognizing the 

implications of the economic 

interrelationship of issues developed in 

the Seventh Review Remand 

Determination, the presence or absence 

of facts on the record regarding 

promotional quality, and the resulting 

interaction of all of the factors examined 

in the reconsideration; 

2. If, upon reconsideration, a 

determination is made which alters the 

selection of sales for comparison 

purposes from that made in the original 

and first remand determination, 

consider the comparison issues raised 

by the CDC in conformance with the 

positions taken by the majority opinions 

in the Seventh Review Panel; and 

3. Reconsider the calculation of the 

DIFMER allowance on the basis that any 

positive DIFMER allowance could be 

considered adverse to CEMEX, that the 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 218 / Monday, November 14, 2005 / Notices 69143 

calculation must be a ‘‘reasonably 

accurate estimate’’ of the actual rate, 

that the calculation must be made in a 

manner that reflects differences in 

physical characteristics, and that the 

result must, while providing a deterrent 

for non-compliance, not be punitive, 

and provide an adequate explanation of 

that calculation. 

The Department’s decision in the final 

results of the Sixth Administrative 

Review Remand Determination is, in all 

other respects, upheld. 

The Department was directed to 

complete its redetermination with 

regard to remand issues within 45 days 

of the date of the opinion, or not later 

than December 19, 2005. 

Dated: November 3, 2005.

Listing Endangered and Threatened 

Wildlife and Plants; Withdrawal of the 

Petition to List Eastern Oyster as 

Threatened or Endangered under the 

Endangered Species Act 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of the withdrawal of a 

petition. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that a 

request by Mr. Wolf-Dieter Busch (the 

petitioner) to withdraw his petition to 

list eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) 

has been received. NMFS has accepted 

this request and will cease the 

evaluation of the petition. However, in 

recognition of the considerable work 

that has been completed to date on the 

status review report and the value of 

this comprehensive resource to the 

management of this species, NMFS will 

ask the Biological Review Team (BRT) 

to complete the status review report. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Kimberly Damon-Randall, NMFS, 

Northeast Regional Office, (978) 281–

9300 x6535, or Marta Nammack, NMFS, 

HQ, (301) 713-1401 x180, or Jennifer 

Moore, NMFS Southeast Regional 

Office, (727) 824–5312. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 11, 2005, NMFS received the 

petition to list eastern oyster 

(Crassostrea virginica) as threatened or 

endangered under the ESA. On May 18, 

2005, NMFS published a Federal 

Register notice (70 FR 28510) 

announcing that the petition and the 

information in our files indicated that 

the petitioned action may be warranted. 

Thus, NMFS initiated a review of the 

status of this species. 

On Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 

NMFS received a letter from the 

petitioner, dated October 13, 2005, 

requesting the recall of the eastern 

oyster petition. In his letter, the 

petitioner indicated that his request to 

withdraw the petition is due to 

confusion over the petition process. He 

noted the significant concerns of some 

that the species may be listed as 

endangered, thereby creating severe 

restrictions and regulations for this 

resource. He also expressed concern 

that, given the timeline of the review, 

NMFS may not currently have enough 

information to determine if eastern 

oyster subspecies exist. He concluded 

that he hopes that NMFS will continue 

with the review as he considers the 

status review report to be a 

comprehensive resource which will be 

of great value in focusing restoration 

activities for this species. 

NMFS has accepted this request and 

will consider the petition withdrawn, 

effective immediately. However, a 

considerable amount of effort has been 

expended to date by the eastern oyster 

BRT as it has already met twice and 

prepared approximately three quarters 

of the status review report. When 

complete, the status review report will 

be the most timely and comprehensive 

resource document for this species, and, 

as such, it will be a useful tool in 

guiding future management decisions. 

NMFS has, therefore, determined that 

the BRT will continue with the status 

review report and will complete the 

report as soon as practicable.

Patent and Trademark Office 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO). 

Title: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) 

Certificate Action Form. 

Form Number(s): PTO–2042. 

Agency Approval Number: 0651–

0045. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 1,383 hours annually. 

Number of Respondents: 4,126 

responses per year. 

Avg. Hours Per Response: The USPTO 

estimates that it will take the public 

approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours) to 

read the instructions and subscriber 

agreement, gather the necessary 

information, prepare the Certificate 

Action Form, and submit the completed 

request. The USPTO estimates that it 

will take the public approximately 10 

minutes (0.17 hours) to complete and 

electronically submit the information 

required for certificate self-recovery. 

Needs and Uses: In support of the 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

and its own electronic filing initiatives, 

the USPTO uses Public Key 

Infrastructure (PKI) technology to 

support electronic commerce between 

the USPTO and its customers. In order 

to access secure online systems offered 

by the USPTO for transactions such as 

electronic filing of patent applications 

and retrieving confidential patent 

application information, customers 

must first obtain a digital certificate. 

The public uses this collection to 

request a new digital certificate, the 

revocation of a current certificate, or the 

recovery of a lost certificate. This 

collection includes the existing 

Certificate Action Form (PTO–2042), 

which is provided by the USPTO to 

ensure that customers submit the 

necessary information for processing 

certificate requests. The USPTO is 

adding a new electronic Certificate SelfRecovery Form to this collection to 

enable customers to recover their own 

lost certificates online. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, businesses or other forprofits, not-for-profit institutions, farms, 

the Federal Government, and state, local 

or tribal governments. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
