28220 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 113 / Monday, June 15, 2009 / Notices 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA) and implementing regulations, 

notification is hereby given that NMFS 

has issued a one-year Letter of 

Authorization (LOA) to take marine 

mammals incidental to the explosive 

removal of offshore oil and gas 

structures (EROS) in the Gulf of Mexico. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from June 17, 2009 through June 16, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: The application and LOA 

are available for review by writing to P. 

Michael Payne, Chief, Permits, 

Conservation, and Education Division, 

Office of Protected Resources, National 

Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, MD 

20910–3235 or by telephoning the 

contact listed here (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT), or online at: 

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/permits/ 

incidental.htm. Documents cited in this 

notice may be viewed, by appointment, 

during regular business hours, at the 

aforementioned address. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Howard Goldstein or Ken Hollingshead, 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 

301–713–2289. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 

1361 et seq.) directs the NMFS to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by United States 

citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographical region, 

if certain findings are made by NMFS 

and regulations are issued. Under the 

MMPA, the term ‘‘taking’’ means to 

harass, hunt, capture, or kill or to 

attempt to harass, hunt capture, or kill 

marine mammals. 

Authorization for incidental taking, in 

the form of annual LOAs, may be 

granted by NMFS for periods up to five 

years if NMFS finds, after notification 

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 

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 

incidental to EROS were published on 

June 19, 2008 (73 FR 34889), 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), melonheaded whales (Peponocephala electra), 

short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala 

macrorhynchus), and sperm whales 

(Physeter macrocephalus). 

Pursuant to these regulations, NMFS 

has issued an LOA to SPN Resources, 

LLC. Issuance of the LOAs 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.

Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination in the Countervailing 

Duty Investigation 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 15, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joseph Shuler or Nancy Decker, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–1293 and (202) 

482–0196, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

On May 5, 2009, the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) initiated 

an investigation of certain oil country 

tubular goods from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See Certain 

Oil Country Tubular Goods from the 

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of 

Countervailing Duty Investigation, 74 FR 

20678 (May 5, 2009). Currently, the 

preliminary determination is due no 

later than July 2, 2009. 

Postponement of Due Date for 

Preliminary Determination 

Under section 703(c)(1)(B) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’), the Department may extend the 

period for reaching a preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation until no later than the 

130th day after the date on which the 

administering authority initiates an 

investigation, if the administration 

determines that the parties are 

cooperating and the case is 

extraordinarily complicated. The 

Department finds that the instant case is 

extraordinarily complicated by reason of 

the number and complexity of the 

alleged countervailable subsidy 

practices, the need to determine the 

extent to which particular 

countervailable subsidies are used by 

individual manufacturers, producers, 

and exporters, and the number of firms 

whose activities must be investigated. 

Accordingly, we are fully extending the 

due date for the preliminary 

determination to no later than 130 days 

after the day on which the investigation 

was initiated (i.e., September 5, 2009). 

However, September 5, 2009, falls on a 

Saturday and it is the Department’s 

long–standing practice to issue a 

determination the next business day 

when the statutory deadline falls on a 

weekend, federal holiday, or any other 

day when the Department is closed. See 

Notice of Clarification: Application of 

‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for 

Administrative Determination Deadlines 

Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As 

Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 

Accordingly, the deadline for 

completion of the preliminary 

determination is now no later than 

September 8, 2009. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(e).

in authorizing small entities to furnish
