Also, in accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation for countervailing duty 

purposes for subject merchandise 

entered on or after May 7, 2009, but to 

continue the suspension of liquidation 

of entries made from January 7, 2009, 

through May 6, 2009. 

We will issue a countervailing duty 

order if the ITC issues a final affirmative 

injury determination, and will require a 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties for such entries of merchandise 

in the amounts indicated above. If the 

ITC determines that material injury, or 

threat of material injury, does not exist, 

this proceeding will be terminated and 

all estimated duties deposited or 

securities posted as a result of the 

suspension of liquidation will be 

refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all non– 

privileged and non–proprietary 

information related to this investigation. 

We will allow the ITC access to all 

privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms that it will not disclose 

such information, either publicly or 

under an APO, without the written 

consent of the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

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 violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

This determination is published 

pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of 

the Act. 

Dated: July 20, 2009.

ACTION: Notice; receipt of application. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

National Marine Fisheries Service, 

Southwest Fisheries Science Center 

(SWFSC) (Jeremy Rusin, Principal 

Investigator), Protected Resources 

Division, 3333 N. Torrey Pines Ct., La 

Jolla, CA 92037, has applied in due form 

for a permit to conduct scientific 

research on five pinniped species, 57 

cetacean species, and five sea turtle 

species in the Pacific, Southern, Indian, 

and Arctic Oceans. 

DATES: Written, telefaxed, or e-mail 

comments must be received on or before 

August 26, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: The application and related 

documents are available for review by

Those individuals requesting a public 

hearing should submit a written request 

to the Chief, Permits, Conservation and 

Education Division at the address listed 

below. The request should set forth the 

specific reasons why a hearing on this 

application would be appropriate. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kristy Beard or Amy Hapeman, 

(301)713–2289. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR 222–226). 

The SWFSC requests a five-year 

permit to take marine mammals and sea 

turtles for scientific research purposes 

in the Pacific, Southern, Indian, and 

Arctic Oceans. Five species of pinniped, 

fifty-seven species of cetacean, and five 

species of sea turtles will be targeted for 

study. The application consists of three 

projects. The purposes of Project I 

(Pinnipeds) are to conduct population 

assessments for northern elephant seals 

(Mirounga angustirostris), California sea 

lions (Zalophus californianus), Steller 

sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), and 

harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) via aerial 

photography, ground or vessel surveys, 

and photogrammetry to determine 

abundance, distribution patterns, length 

frequencies, and breeding densities. 

Scats and spewings will be collected 

from California sea lions to determine 

their diet. This research is part of an 

ongoing program to assess the status of 

pinniped species and identify fisherymarine mammal conflicts. The purpose 

of Project II (Cetaceans) is to determine 

the abundance, distribution, movement 

patterns, and stock structure of 

cetaceans in U.S. territorial and 

international waters. These studies will 

be conducted through vessel surveys, 

aerial surveys, small plane 

photogrammetry, photo-identification 

(from vessels and small boats), 

biological sampling, radio tagging, and 

satellite tagging. Cetacean abundance 

data will be used to set limits of 

allowable human caused mortality 

under the MMPA and to monitor trends 

in abundance through time. The 

purpose of Project III (Sea Turtles) is to 

determine the abundance, distribution, 

movement patterns, stock structure, and 

diet of sea turtles in U.S. territorial and 

international waters. Sea turtles will be 

opportunistically captured during 

Project II for collection of blood 

samples, stomach contents, and tissue 

biopsy and to attach satellite tags. The 

SWFSC also requests the salvage and 

import/export of cetacean, pinniped, 

and sea turtle parts, specimens, and 

biological samples collected during 

these projects. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
