determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. Therefore, for purposes of 

determining the ‘‘all others’’ rate and 

pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act, we are using the dumping margin 

calculated for CSC, 27.54 percent, for 

the ‘‘all others’’ rate, as referenced 

above. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’) Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we notified the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of our final 

determination. As our final 

determination is affirmative, and in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will determine, within 45 

days, whether the domestic industry in 

the United States is materially injured, 

or threatened with material injury, by 

reason of imports or sales (or the 

likelihood of sales) for importation of 

NOES from Taiwan. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders (‘‘APO’’) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to the parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of propriety information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 

notification of return or destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 

violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: October 6, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101 (a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

issued or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment for a period of one year or 

less, a notice of proposed authorization 

is provided to the public for review. The 

term ‘‘take’’ under the MMPA means ‘‘to 

harass, hunt, capture or kill, or attempt 

to harass, hunt, capture, or kill.’’ Except 

with respect to certain activities not 

pertinent here, the MMPA defines 

‘‘harassment’’ as ‘‘any act of pursuit, 

torment, or annoyance which (i) has the 

potential to injure a marine mammal or 

marine mammal stock in the wild [Level 

A harassment]; or (ii) has the potential 

to disturb a marine mammal or marine 

mammal stock in the wild by causing 

disruption of behavioral patterns, 

including, but not limited to, migration, 

breathing, nursing, breeding, feeding, or 

sheltering [Level B harassment].’’ 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 198 / Tuesday, October 14, 2014 / Notices 61617 

taking will have a negligible impact on 

the species or stock(s), will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant), and if 

the permissible methods of taking and 

requirements pertaining to the 

mitigation, monitoring and reporting of 

such takings are set forth. NMFS has 

defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 

216.103 as ‘‘an impact resulting from 

the specified activity that cannot be 

reasonably expected to, and is not 

reasonably likely to, adversely affect the 

species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

Geographic Area To Be Considered 

For the purposes of this EIS, NMFS 

intends to analyze the effects on the 

human environment of issuing 

authorizations for the incidental take of 

marine mammals from activities 

occurring in both the state and Federal 

waters of Cook Inlet, AK, from Knik 

Arm in the northern part of the Inlet to 

the southern edge of Kachemak Bay on 

the southeastern part of the Inlet and to 

the southern edge of Cape Douglas on 

the southwestern part of the Inlet. 

Objectives of the EIS 

NMFS prepares environmental 

analyses under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to 

support the issuance of ITAs for specific 

activities under sections 101(a)(5)(A) 

and (D) of the MMPA. This 

programmatic EIS will analyze the 

potential effects on the human 

environment of issuing MMPA ITAs for 

various anthropogenic activities in Cook 

Inlet. An EIS that analyzes multiple 

activities over multiple years will 

provide a comprehensive decisionsupport tool for NMFS, allowing us to 

address cumulative effects over a longer 

time frame, consider a wider range of 

reasonable alternatives consistent with 

our statutory mandates, and analyze a 

wider range of practicable mitigation 

and monitoring measures for protecting 

marine mammals and the availability of 

marine mammals for subsistence uses. 

Anthropogenic activities are prevalent 

in Cook Inlet, and there are indications 

that the level of activities may increase 

in the coming years. Additionally, 

NMFS continues to be concerned about 

the lack of recovery of the small resident 

population of Cook Inlet beluga whales, 

which is both depleted under the 

MMPA and listed as endangered under 

the Endangered Species Act (ESA). 

Preparation of an EIS, which will allow 

for a more comprehensive analysis of 

alternatives and mitigation and 

monitoring measures, will not only 

achieve greater administrative efficiency 

for NMFS’ ITA program but will 

increase NMFS’ options and flexibility 

for processing MMPA ITA requests in 

the region while ensuring compliance 

with MMPA, ESA, and NEPA mandates. 

NMFS has determined that the 

preparation of such an EIS will provide 

the best decision support tool for 

processing MMPA ITA requests in Cook 

Inlet. 

Types of Information Requested 

NMFS invites the participation of 

Federal agencies, State of Alaska, local, 

and tribal government entities, Native 

American and Native Alaskan 

organizations, environmental and fish 

and wildlife organizations, the oil and 

gas industry, non-energy industries, 

other interested organizations and 

entities, and the general public, for use 

in the preparation of this EIS. To help 

us determine the scope and the 

significant issues to be analyzed in 

depth in the EIS, NMFS is seeking a 

wide array of information about: (1) The 

ecological, social, and economic 

environments and values in Cook Inlet, 

Alaska; (2) the potential impact of 

various types of human activities in 

Cook Inlet (e.g., oil and gas exploration 

and development, construction, port 

redevelopment projects, etc.) on the 

marine, coastal and human 

environments; (3) subsistence activities 

and uses of marine mammals in Cook 

Inlet; (4) the acoustic environment in 

Cook Inlet; (5) proposed and upcoming 

projects within Cook Inlet; (6) ways to 

assess, mitigate, minimize, and monitor 

impacts of activities on marine 

mammals (especially beluga whales) 

and their habitats (including prey 

species); and (7) any other relevant 

information. 

Public Meetings 

We will hold a public scoping 

meeting in Anchorage, AK, on Monday, 

November 3, 2014, from 6:00 to 8:00 

p.m. at the Loussac Library’s Wilda 

Marston Theater located at 3600 Denali 

Street, Anchorage, AK 99503. Written 

and oral comments will be accepted at 

the public meeting.
