legislative history for purposes of the

tie-vote rule. The statute refers to

critical circumstances interchangeably

as a determination or finding. Therefore,

we conclude that Section 771(11)

applies to critical circumstances

determinations and that it is appropriate

to treat the tie vote in this case as an

affirmative critical circumstances

determination.

All unliquidated entries of coumarin

from the PRC, that are entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after May 6, 1994,

the date 90 days prior to the publication

of the Department’s preliminary

determination, except for imports by

Jiangsu Native Import and Export

Corporation (Jiangsu Native), are liable

for the assessment of antidumping

duties. In the case of Jiangsu Native, the

effective date of suspension of

liquidation is August 4, 1994, the date

of publication of the Department’s

preliminary determination, (59 FR

39727).

In accordance with section 736(a)(1)

of the Act, the Department will direct

Customs officers to assess, upon further

advice by the administering authority,

antidumping duties equal to the amount

by which the foreign market exceeds the

United States price for all relevant

entries of coumarin from the PRC.

Customs officers must require, at the

same time as importers would normally

deposit estimated duties on this

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the

estimated weighted-average

antidumping duty margins as noted

below. The ‘‘All Others’’ rate applies to

all exporters of PRC coumarin not

specifically listed below.

The ad valorem weighted-average

dumping margins are as follows:

This notice constitutes the

antidumping duty order with respect to

coumarin from the PRC. Interested

parties may contact the Central Records

Unit, Room B–099 of the Main

Commerce Building, for copies of an

updated list of antidumping duty orders

currently in effect.

Endangered Species; Permits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Notice of receipt of two

applications for scientific research

permits (P45Q and P770#69) and receipt

of an application for modification 1 to

scientific research permit 914

(P770#67).

Notice is hereby given that the

National Biological Survey in Corvallis,

OR (NBS) and the Northwest Fisheries

Science Center, NMFS in Seattle, WA

(NWFSC) have applied in due form for

scientific research permits (P45Q and

P770#69) and that the Northwest

Fisheries Science Center, NMFS in

Seattle, WA (NWFSC) has applied in

due form for Modification 1 to scientific

research Permit 914 (P770#67) to take

listed species as authorized by the

Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA)

(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) and the NMFS

regulations governing listed fish and

wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 217-227).

NBS requests authorization for a

lethal take of juvenile, endangered,

naturally produced Snake River spring/

summer chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

tshawytscha) as part of a study designed

to compare the physiological responses

of wild chinook smolts with hatcheryproduced chinook smolts when

subjected to the bypass and collection

facility at Lower Granite Dam on the

Lower Snake River in Washington. A

comparison of the physiological

responses of wild and hatcheryproduced chinook smolts may indicate

what aspects of bypass and collection

for downriver transportation past

hydropower projects are most stressful

to wild listed fish. The requested

duration of the permit is April 15 to

June 30, 1995.

NWFSC requests a permit to conduct

research with a take of the following

endangered species: Juvenile Snake

River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus

nerka), juvenile, naturally produced and

artificially propagated, Snake River

spring/summer chinook salmon

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and

juvenile Snake River fall chinook

salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha).

NWFSC will capture, handle, and tag

subyearling, endangered, fall chinook

salmon at McNary Dam on the Columbia

River as part of a study comparing the

adult recoveries of run-of-river

subyearling chinook salmon subjected

to transport past hydropower dams

versus those migrating inriver under as

favorable passage conditions as

possible. The other two listed species

will be captured and handled incidental

to the research. NWFSC will capture,

handle, and tag the subyearling fish

from June 15 to September 15 during

each of 3 separate years, not necessarily

in succession. The requested duration of

the permit is 5 years.

Permit 914 authorizes NWFSC to

capture, handle, and release juvenile,

endangered, naturally produced and

artificially propagated Snake River

spring/summer chinook salmon

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and

juvenile, endangered, Snake River fall

chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus

tshawytscha) as part of a study to assess

the incidence of gas bubble disease

(GBD) in selected aquatic biota of the

Columbia River Basin during episodes

of high spill volumes at Ice Harbor Dam

on the Snake River and Bonneville Dam

on the Columbia River in the Pacific

Northwest. For Modification 1, NWFSC

requests an increase in the take of the

two listed species already authorized to

be taken and authorization to capture,

handle, and release juvenile,

endangered, Snake River sockeye

salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to carry

out a new study objective. The purpose

of the new objective is to compare the

prevalence of signs of GBD in juvenile

salmonids collected from the reservoir

and tailrace of Ice Harbor Dam on the

Snake River and the reservoir of McNary

Dam on the Columbia River with the

prevalence of signs of GBD in fish

examined by Fish Passage Center Smolt

Monitoring Program personnel at the

same two dams. The requested duration

for the new study objective is from April

15 to June 15, 1995. Permit 914 expires

on December 31, 1998.

a public hearing on this application
