31424 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 106 / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / Notices 

granted by NMFS for periods up to five 

years if NMFS finds, after notice and 

opportunity for public comment, that 

the taking will have a negligible impact 

on the species or stock(s) of marine 

mammals, and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant). In 

addition, NMFS must prescribe 

regulations that include permissible 

methods of taking and other means of 

effecting the least practicable adverse 

impact on the species and its habitat 

(i.e., mitigation), and on the availability 

of the species for subsistence uses, 

paying particular attention to rookeries, 

mating rounds, and areas of similar 

significance. The regulations also must 

include requirements pertaining to the 

monitoring and reporting of such taking. 

Regulations governing the taking of 

marine mammals incidental to EROS 

were published on June 19, 2008 (73 FR 

34875), and remain in effect through 

July 19, 2013. For detailed information 

on this action, please refer to that 

Federal Register notice. The species 

that applicants may take in small 

numbers during EROS activities are 

bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops 

truncatus), Atlantic spotted dolphins 

(Stenella frontalis), pantropical spotted 

dolphins (Stenella attenuata), Clymene 

dolphins (Stenella clymene), striped 

dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), 

spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris), 

rough-toothed dolphins (Steno 

bredanensis), Risso’s dolphins 

(Grampus griseus), melon-headed 

whales (Peponocephala electra), shortfinned pilot whales (Globicephala 

macrorhynchus), and sperm whales 

(Physeter macrocephalus). 

Pursuant to these regulations, NMFS 

has issued an LOA to Ridgelake Energy, 

Inc. Issuance of the LOA is based on a 

finding made in the preamble to the 

final rule that the total taking by these 

activities (with monitoring, mitigation, 

and reporting measures) will result in 

no more than a negligible impact on the 

affected species or stock(s) of marine 

mammals and will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on 

subsistence uses. NMFS also finds that 

the applicant will meet the 

requirements contained in the 

implementing regulations and LOA, 

including monitoring, mitigation, and 

reporting requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Postponement of Preliminary

On January 28, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)

investigation on drill pipe from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC). See 

Drill Pipe from the People’s Republic of 

China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigations, 75 FR 4531 (January 28, 

2010) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). 

The Initiation Notice stated that the 

Department would issue its preliminary 

determination for this investigation no 

later than 140 days after the date of

requested a 50-day postponement of the 

preliminary determination pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e). Petitioners
