of review. We will instruct CBP to apply 

an ad valorem assessment rate of 122.88 

percent to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR which 

were produced and/or exported by 

Landblue, and ad valorem assessment 

rate of 122.88 percent to all entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

which were produced and/or exported 

by the 26 companies that were not 

selected for individual examination.12

Additionally, because the Department 

determined that Super Grip had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR, for entries of 

merchandise produced by Super Grip, 

for which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate in effect during the POR if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.13

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rates for the reviewed 

companies will be the rates established 

in the final results of this review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by manufacturers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review, a prior review, or the 

less-than-fair-value investigation but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter 

nor the manufacturer has its own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

4.69 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the order.14 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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 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 violation subject to sanctions. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshops 

Since January 1, 2008, Atlantic shark 

dealers have been prohibited from 

receiving, purchasing, trading, or 

bartering for Atlantic sharks unless a 

valid Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshop certificate is on the premises 

of each business listed under the shark 

dealer permit that first receives Atlantic 

sharks (71 FR 58057; October 2, 2006). 

Dealers who attend and successfully 

complete a workshop are issued a 

certificate for each place of business that 

is permitted to receive sharks. These 

certificate(s) are valid for 3 years. 

Approximately 136 free Atlantic Shark

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Notices 44163 

Identification Workshops have been 

conducted since January 2007. 

Currently, permitted dealers may send 

a proxy to an Atlantic Shark 

Identification Workshop. However, if a 

dealer opts to send a proxy, the dealer 

must designate a proxy for each place of 

business covered by the dealer’s permit 

which first receives Atlantic sharks. 

Only one certificate will be issued to 

each proxy. A proxy must be a person 

who is currently employed by a place of 

business covered by the dealer’s permit; 

is a primary participant in the 

identification, weighing, and/or first 

receipt of fish as they are offloaded from 

a vessel; and who fills out dealer 

reports. Atlantic shark dealers are 

prohibited from renewing a Federal 

shark dealer permit unless a valid 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

certificate for each business location 

that first receives Atlantic sharks has 

been submitted with the permit renewal 

application. Additionally, trucks or 

other conveyances that are extensions of 

a dealer’s place of business must 

possess a copy of a valid dealer or proxy 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

certificate.

Registration 

To register for a scheduled Atlantic 

Shark Identification Workshop, please 

contact Eric Sander at ericssharkguide@

yahoo.com or at (386) 852–8588. 

Registration Materials 

To ensure that workshop certificates 

are linked to the correct permits, 

participants will need to bring the 

following specific items to the 

workshop: 

• Atlantic shark dealer permit holders 

must bring proof that the attendee is an 

owner or agent of the business (such as 

articles of incorporation), a copy of the 

applicable permit, and proof of 

identification. 

• Atlantic shark dealer proxies must 

bring documentation from the permitted 

dealer acknowledging that the proxy is 

attending the workshop on behalf of the 

permitted Atlantic shark dealer for a 

specific business location, a copy of the 

appropriate valid permit, and proof of 

identification. 

Workshop Objectives 

The Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshops are designed to reduce the 

number of unknown and improperly 

identified sharks reported in the dealer 

reporting form and increase the 

accuracy of species-specific dealerreported information. Reducing the 

number of unknown and improperly 

identified sharks will improve quota 

monitoring and the data used in stock 

assessments. These workshops will train 

shark dealer permit holders or their 

proxies to properly identify Atlantic 

shark carcasses. 

Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

Since January 1, 2007, shark limitedaccess and swordfish limited-access 

permit holders who fish with longline 

or gillnet gear have been required to 

submit a copy of their Protected Species 

Safe Handling, Release, and 

Identification Workshop certificate in 

order to renew either permit (71 FR 

58057; October 2, 2006). These 

certificate(s) are valid for 3 years. As 

such, vessel owners who have not 

already attended a workshop and 

received a NMFS certificate, or vessel 

owners whose certificate(s) will expire 

prior to the next permit renewal, must 

attend a workshop to fish with, or 

renew, their swordfish and shark 

limited-access permits. Additionally, 

new shark and swordfish limited-access 

permit applicants who intend to fish 

with longline or gillnet gear must attend 

a Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshop 

and submit a copy of their workshop 

certificate before either of the permits 

will be issued. Approximately 262 free 

Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since 2006. 

In addition to certifying vessel 

owners, at least one operator on board 

vessels issued a limited-access 

swordfish or shark permit that uses 

longline or gillnet gear is required to 

attend a Protected Species Safe 

Handling, Release, and Identification 

Workshop and receive a certificate. 

Vessels that have been issued a limitedaccess swordfish or shark permit and 

that use longline or gillnet gear may not 

fish unless both the vessel owner and 

operator have valid workshop 

certificates onboard at all times. Vessel 

operators who have not already 

attended a workshop and received a 

NMFS certificate, or vessel operators 

whose certificate(s) will expire prior to 

their next fishing trip, must attend a 

workshop to operate a vessel with 

swordfish and shark limited-access 

permits that uses longline or gillnet 

gear.

are designed to teach longline and 

gillnet fishermen the required 

techniques for the safe handling and 

release of entangled and/or hooked 

protected species, such as sea turtles, 

marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish, and prohibited sharks. In an 

effort to improve reporting, the proper 

identification of protected species and 

prohibited sharks will also be taught at 

these workshops. Additionally, 

individuals attending these workshops 

will gain a better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these

fisheries. The overall goal of these 

workshops is to provide participants 

with the skills needed to reduce the 

mortality of protected species and 

prohibited sharks, which may prevent 

additional regulations on these fisheries 

in the future.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Mukilteo 

Multimodal Construction Project in 

Washington State 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

regulations implementing the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as 

amended, notification is hereby given 

that we have issued an incidental 

harassment authorization (IHA) to 

Washington State Department of 

Transportation (WSDOT) to take small 

numbers of marine mammals, by 

harassment, incidental to Mukilteo 

Multimodal Construction Project in 

Washington State. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from August 1, 2017, through July 31, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Shane Guan, Office of Protected 

Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401. 

Electronic copies of the application and 

supporting documents, as well as the 

issued IHA, may be obtained online at: 

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

incidental/construction.htm. In case of 

problems accessing these documents, 

please call the contact listed above. 

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 (as delegated 

to NMFS) 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, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the 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. 

The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ 

means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or 

attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill 

any marine mammal. 

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). 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Issuance of an MMPA 101(a)(5) 

authorization requires compliance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

NMFS determined the issuance of the 

IHA is consistent with categories of 

activities identified in CE B4 (issuance 

of incidental harassment authorizations 

under section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA for which no serious injury or 

mortality is anticipated) of the 

Companion Manual for NAO 216–6A 

and we have not identified any 

extraordinary circumstances listed in 

Chapter 4 of the Companion Manual for 

NAO 216–6A that would preclude this 

categorical exclusion. 

Summary of Request 

NMFS received a request from 

WSDOT for an IHA to take marine 

mammals incidental to Mukilteo 

Multimodal Project in Mukilteo, 

Washington. WSDOT’s request was for 

harassment only and NMFS concurs 

that serious injury or mortality is not 

expected to result from this activity. 

Therefore, an IHA is appropriate. 

On April 7, 2016, WSDOT submitted 

a request to NMFS requesting an IHA for 

the possible harassment of small 

numbers of marine mammal species 

incidental to construction associated 

with the Mukilteo Multimodal Project in 

Mukilteo, Washington, between August 

1, 2017, and July 31, 2018. WSDOT 

subsequently updated its project scope 

and submitted a revised IHA application 

on April 10, 2017. NMFS determined 

the IHA application was complete on 

April 14, 2017. NMFS is proposing to 

authorize the take by Level A and Level 

B harassment of the following marine 

mammal species: Harbor seal (Phoca 

vitulina), California sea lion (Zalophus 

californianus), Steller sea lion 

(Eumetopias jubatus), northern elephant 

seal (Mirounga angustirostris), killer 

whale (Orcinus orca), gray whale 

(Eschrichtius robustus), humpback 

whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), harbor 

porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), and 

Dall’s porpoise (P. dalli). 

Description of Proposed Activity 

Overview 

The purpose of the Mukilteo 

Multimodal Project is to provide safe, 

reliable, and effective service and 

connection for general-purpose 

transportation, transit, high occupancy 

vehicles (HOV), pedestrians, and 

bicyclists traveling between Island 

County and the Seattle/Everett 

metropolitan area and beyond by 

constructing a new ferry terminal. The 

current Mukilteo Ferry Terminal has not 

had significant improvements for almost 

30 years and needs key repairs. The 

existing facility is deficient in a number 

of aspects, such as safety, multimodal 

connectivity, capacity, and the ability to 

support the goals of local and regional 

long-range transportation and 

comprehensive plans. The project is 

intended to: 

• Reduce conflicts, congestion, and 

safety concerns for pedestrians, 

bicyclists, and motorists by improving 

local traffic and safety at the terminal 

and the surrounding area that serves 

these transportation needs. 

• Provide a terminal and supporting 

facilities with the infrastructure and 

operating characteristics needed to 

improve the safety, security, quality, 

reliability, efficiency, and effectiveness 

of multimodal transportation.
