E6-2063 Filed 2-13-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410-XY-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). *Agency:* U.S. Census Bureau. *Title:* 2007 Economic Census Classification Report for Construction, Manufacturing, and Mining Sectors. *Form Number(s):* NC-99026. *Agency Approval Number:* None. *Type of Request:* New collection. *Burden:* 4,167 hours. *Number of Respondents:* 50,000. *Avg Hours per Response:* 5 minutes. *Needs and Uses:* Accurate and reliable industry codes are critical to the U. S. Census Bureau's economic statistical programs. In order to provide detailed industry data for the 2007 Economic Census and the Business Register, the basic sampling frame for many of our current surveys, unclassified and partially classified businesses must be assigned correct North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Only when correct NAICS codes are assigned to establishments can the Census Bureau be assured that data are tabulated in the correct detailed industry and ultimately disseminated accurately. The NC-99026 questionnaire will be sent to a sample of partially classified single-unit construction, manufacturing, and mining establishments in 2006, the year prior to the census. It is extremely important to obtain a correct industry classification for construction establishments to ensure the sample frame that is drawn for the economic census is accurate. For many of the manufacturing and mining establishments, this is the only form that they receive for the economic census. During the 2007 Economic Census, the NC-99026 questionnaire will be used to collect information from partially classified single-unit manufacturing and mining establishments that were not sampled in 2006. Establishments that are only partially classified could be misclassified in the economic census without a complete NAICS code. This refile operation will determine a complete and reliable classification in order to ensure the establishment is tabulated in the correct detailed industry for the 2007 Economic Census. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS)provides industry codes for establishments that they have classified in their universe but which are unclassified in the Business Register, detailed industry classification would still be missing for the remaining units. If these establishments are not mailed as part of the economic census, economic data for these cases could be lost. The economic census is the primary source of facts about the structure and functioning of the Nation's economy featuring industry and geographic detail. Economic census statistics and their derivatives serve as part of the framework for the national accounts and provide essential information for government, business, and the general public. The Federal government uses census information as an important part of the framework for the national income and product accounts, input-output tables, economic indexes, and other composite measures that serve as the factual basis for economic policy-making, planning, and program administration. Further, the census provides sampling frames and benchmarks for current surveys of business which track short-term economic trends, serve as economic indicators, and contribute critical source data for current estimates of gross domestic product. State and local governments rely on the economic census as a unique source of small geographic area economic statistics for use in policy-making, planning, and program administration. Finally, industry, business, academia, and the general public use information from the economic census for evaluating markets; preparing business plans and making business decisions; conducting economic research, including forecasting and modeling; and establishing benchmarks for their own sample surveys. The failure to collect this information would result in less reliable source data and benchmarks reflecting today's economy for the national accounts, input-output tables, and other measures of economic activity. This would lead to a substantial degradation in the quality of these important statistics. The NC-99026 form will be used to update the classification codes in the Business Register. Classification information obtained from these establishments will also be included in the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns

(CBP)publications. CBP publications provide annual data on establishment counts, employment, and payroll for all sectors of the economy at national, state, and county levels. *Affected Public:* Business or other for-profit, Not-for-profit institutions. *Frequency:* Every 5 years. *Respondent's Obligation:* Mandatory. *Legal Authority:* Title 13 U.S.C., sections 131 and 224. *OMB Desk Officer:* Susan Schechter,

SUMMARY: On August 10, 2005, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review of persulfates from the People's Republic of China (“the PRC”). This review covers one exporter of the subject merchandise, Shanghai AJ Import and Export Corporation (“Shanghai AJ”). The period of review (“POR”) is July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made certain changes to our calculations. The final weighted-average dumping margin for this review is listed in the “Final Results of Review” section below. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 14, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tisha Loeper-Viti or Frances Veith, AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone:

(202)482-7425 and

(202)482-4295, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 7, 1997, the Department published in the **Federal Register** the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the PRC. *See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Persulfates From the People's Republic of China* , 62 FR 36259 (July 7, 1997). On July 1, 2004, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the PRC for the period July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review* , 69 FR 39903 (July 1, 2004). On July 30, 2004, FMC Corporation (FMC), a domestic producer, requested an administrative review of Shanghai AJ. No other interested party submitted a request for a review. On September 22, 2004, the Department published in the **Federal Register** a notice of the initiation of the administrative review of the order on persulfates from the PRC for the period July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part* , 69 FR 56745 (September 22, 2004). On March 25, 2005, the Department published a notice in the **Federal Register** extending the time limit for the preliminary results of this review to August 1, 2005. *See Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the 2003-2004 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Persulfates From the People's Republic of China* , 70 FR 15293 (March 25, 2005). The Department published the preliminary results on August 10, 2005. *See Persulfates From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review* , 70 FR 46476 (August 10, 2005) (“ *Preliminary Results* ”). We invited parties to comment on the preliminary results of review. *See Preliminary Results* , 70 FR at 46480. On September 23, 2005, the Department received case briefs from FMC and Shanghai AJ. On September 30, 2005, the Department received rebuttal briefs from FMC and Shanghai AJ. The Department conducted a public hearing on October 7, 2005, at the main Commerce building. On January 12, 2006, we issued a memorandum to all interested parties requesting comments regarding a change in the Department's calculated regression-based wage rate. *See* January 12, 2006, Memorandum from Tisha Loeper-Viti to the File Re: 2003-2004 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Persulfates from the People's Republic of China (PRC): Expected PRC Wage Rate 2003 Income Data. No parties provided comments. On February 2, 2006, we issued a letter to all interested parties requesting comments regarding changes to the Department's calculation of surrogate financial ratios. *See* February 2, 2006, letter from Wendy J. Frankel to All Interested Parties Re: 2003-2004 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Persulfates from the People's Republic of China Calculation of Surrogate Financial Ratios. We received comments from FMC on February 3, 2006. Shanghai AJ did not comment on this issue. The Department has conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”). Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are persulfates, including ammonium, potassium, and sodium persulfates. The chemical formula for these persulfates are, respectively, (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 , K 2 S 2 O 8 , and Na 2 S 2 O 8 . Potassium persulfates are currently classifiable under subheading 2833.40.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”). Sodium persulfates are classifiable under HTSUS subheading 2833.40.20. Ammonium and other persulfates are classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 2833.40.50 and 2833.40.60. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive. Separate Rates Shanghai AJ has requested a separate, company-specific antidumping duty rate. In our preliminary results, we found that Shanghai AJ had met the criteria for the application of a separate antidumping duty rate. See *Preliminary Results* , 70 FR at 46478. We have not received any other information since the preliminary results which would warrant reconsideration of our separate-rates determination with respect to this company. Therefore, we have assigned an individual dumping margin to Shanghai AJ for this administrative review. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case briefs by parties to this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (“Decision Memo”) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated February 6, 2006, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues which parties have raised and to which we have responded, all of which are in the Decision Memo, is attached to this notice as an Appendix. The Decision Memo is a public document which is on file in the Central Records Unit in Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memo can be accessed directly on the Web at *http://ia.ita.doc.gov.* The paper copy and electronic version of the Decision Memo are identical in content. Changes From the Preliminary Results For purposes of the final results, we have made certain changes in the margin calculation for Shanghai AJ. For a discussion of these changes, see the “Margin Calculations” section of the Decision Memo. Final Results of Review As a result of our review, we determine that the following weighted-average percentage margin exists for persulfates from the PRC for the period July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004: Manufacturer/exporter Margin (percent) Shanghai AJ Import and Export Corporation 36.53 Assessment Rates The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated importer (or customer)-specific *ad valorem* rates by aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific *ad valorem* rate is greater than *de minimis* and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we applied the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/customer's entries during the review period. Where an importer (or customer)-specific *ad valorem* rate is greater than *de minimis* and we do not have entered values, we calculated a per-unit assessment rate by aggregating the dumping duties due for all U.S. sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total quantity sold to that importer (or customer). The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of publication of these final results of review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of persulfates from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results of administrative review, as provided by section 751(a) of the Act:

(1)for Shanghai AJ, the cash-deposit rate will be 36.53 percent;

(2)for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above that have separate rates, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period;

(3)the cash-deposit rate for all other PRC exporters will be 119.02 percent, the PRC-wide rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation; and

(4)the cash-deposit rate for non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise from the PRC will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. Notification to Interested Parties This notice also serves as the final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and in the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (“APO”) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: February 6, 2006. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

(202)482-1784, respectively; AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 12, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) determined that certain softwood lumber products from Canada are being sold in the United States at less than fair value, as provided in section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). *See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* , 70 FR 73437 (December 12, 2005) (Final Results). On January 23, 2006, the Department published its amended final results. *See Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* 71 FR 3458. 1 On January 25, 2006, The Maritime Lumber Bureau and certain of its individual members 2 (collectively, the Maritimes) filed a timely ministerial error allegation pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2). The petitioner 3 did not rebut this allegation. 1 In the published amended final results, some of the margins were mis-stated due to a **Federal Register** formatting problem. The **Federal Register** published a correction on January 30, 2006. *See Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Correction* 71 FR 4968 (January 30, 2006). 2 *See* letter from the Maritimes Lumber Bureau to the Department, dated January 25, 2006, at Exhibit A for a list of companies included in the allegation. 3 The petitioner in this case is the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports Executive Committee. We note that during the review, submissions have been made interchangeably by the petitioner itself and by the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, a domestic interested party. For ease of reference, we will use the term “petitioner” to refer to submissions by either, although we recognize that the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports is not the actual petitioner. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are softwood lumber, flooring and siding (softwood lumber products). Softwood lumber products include all products classified under headings 4407.1000, 4409.1010, 4409.1090, and 4409.1020, respectively, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), and any softwood lumber, flooring and siding described below. These softwood lumber products include:

(1)coniferous wood, sawn or chipped lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed, of a thickness exceeding six millimeters;

(2)coniferous wood siding (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed;

(3)other coniferous wood (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges or faces (other than wood moldings and wood dowel rods) whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed; and

(4)coniferous wood flooring (including strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled) continuously shaped (tongued, grooved, rabbeted, chamfered, v-jointed, beaded, molded, rounded or the like) along any of its edges or faces, whether or not planed, sanded or finger-jointed. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP)purposes, the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive. Preliminary scope exclusions and clarifications were published in three separate **Federal Register** notices. Softwood lumber products excluded from the scope: • trusses and truss kits, properly classified under HTSUS 4418.90 • I-joist beams • assembled box spring frames • pallets and pallet kits, properly classified under HTSUS 4415.20 • garage doors • edge-glued wood, properly classified under HTSUS 4421.90.97.40 (formerly HTSUS 4421.90.98.40) • properly classified complete door frames • properly classified complete window frames • properly classified furniture Softwood lumber products excluded from the scope only if they meet certain requirements: • *Stringers* (pallet components used for runners): if they have at least two notches on the side, positioned at equal distance from the center, to properly accommodate forklift blades, properly classified under HTSUS 4421.90.97.40 (formerly HTSUS 4421.90.98.40). • *Box-spring frame kits* : if they contain the following wooden pieces—two side rails, two end (or top) rails and varying numbers of slats. The side rails and the end rails should be radius-cut at both ends. The kits should be individually packaged, they should contain the exact number of wooden components needed to make a particular box spring frame, with no further processing required. None of the components exceeds 1” in actual thickness or 83” in length. • *Radius-cut box-spring-frame components* , not exceeding 1” in actual thickness or 83” in length, ready for assembly without further processing. The radius cuts must be present on both ends of the boards and must be substantial cuts so as to completely round one corner. • *Fence pickets* requiring no further processing and properly classified under HTSUS 4421.90.70, 1” or less in actual thickness, up to 8” wide, 6' or less in length, and have finials or decorative cuttings that clearly identify them as fence pickets. In the case of dog-eared fence pickets, the corners of the boards should be cut off so as to remove pieces of wood in the shape of isosceles right angle triangles with sides measuring 3/4 inch or more. • *U.S. origin lumber* shipped to Canada for minor processing and imported into the United States, is excluded from the scope of this order if the following conditions are met: 1) the processing occurring in Canada is limited to kiln-drying, planing to create smooth-to-size board, and sanding, and

(2)the importer establishes to CBP's satisfaction that the lumber is of U.S. origin. 4 4 For further clarification pertaining to this exclusion, see the additional language concluding the scope description below. • *Softwood lumber products contained in single family home packages or kits* , 5 regardless of tariff classification, are excluded from the scope of the orders if the following criteria are met: 5 To ensure administrability, we clarified the language of this exclusion to require an importer certification and to permit single or multiple entries on multiple days, as well as instructing importers to retain and make available for inspection specific documentation in support of each entry. 1. The imported home package or kit constitutes a full package of the number of wooden pieces specified in the plan, design or blueprint necessary to produce a home of at least 700 square feet produced to a specified plan, design or blueprint; 2. The package or kit must contain all necessary internal and external doors and windows, nails, screws, glue, subfloor, sheathing, beams, posts, connectors and, if included in purchase contract, decking, trim, drywall and roof shingles specified in the plan, design or blueprint; 3. Prior to importation, the package or kit must be sold to a retailer of complete home packages or kits pursuant to a valid purchase contract referencing the particular home design plan or blueprint, and signed by a customer not affiliated with the importer; 4. The whole package must be imported under a single consolidated entry when permitted by CBP, whether or not on a single or multiple trucks, rail cars or other vehicles, which shall be on the same day except when the home is over 2,000 square feet; 5. The following documentation must be included with the entry documents: • a copy of the appropriate home design, plan, or blueprint matching the entry; • a purchase contract from a retailer of home kits or packages signed by a customer not affiliated with the importer; • a listing of inventory of all parts of the package or kit being entered that conforms to the home design package being entered; • in the case of multiple shipments on the same contract, all items listed immediately above which are included in the present shipment shall be identified as well. We have determined that the excluded products listed above are outside the scope of this order provided the specified conditions are met. Lumber products that CBP may classify as stringers, radius cut box-spring-frame components, and fence pickets, not conforming to the above requirements, as well as truss components, pallet components, and door and window frame parts, are covered under the scope of this order and may be classified under HTSUS subheadings 4418.90.40.90, 4421.90.70.40, and 4421.90.98.40. Due to changes in the 2002 HTSUS whereby subheading 4418.90.40.90 and 4421.90.98.40 were changed to 4418.90.45.90 and 4421.90.97.40, respectively, we are adding these subheadings as well. In addition, this scope language has been further clarified to now specify that all softwood lumber products entered from Canada claiming non-subject status based on U.S. country of origin will be treated as non-subject U.S.-origin merchandise under the antidumping and countervailing duty orders, provided that these softwood lumber products meet the following condition: upon entry, the importer, exporter, Canadian processor and/or original U.S. producer establish to CBP's satisfaction that the softwood lumber entered and documented as U.S.-origin softwood lumber was first produced in the United States as a lumber product satisfying the physical parameters of the softwood lumber scope. 6 The presumption of non-subject status can, however, be rebutted by evidence demonstrating that the merchandise was substantially transformed in Canada. 6 *See* the scope clarification message (3034202), dated February 3, 2003, to CBP, regarding treatment of U.S.-origin lumber on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building. Amended Final Results In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act, we have determined that a ministerial error was made in our *Final Results* assessment rate calculation for the Maritimes. This error did not affect any of the published cash deposit rates. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error allegation and the Department's analysis, see Memorandum to Stephen J. Claeys, *Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* , regarding Ministerial Error Allegation, dated February 7, 2006, which is on file in the Central Records Unit (“CRU”), room B-099 of the main Department building. In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the amended final results of the antidumping duty administrative review of lumber from Canada to correct this ministerial error. The weighted-average dumping margins for the period May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004, which have not changed since the amended final, are listed below: Producer/Exporter Original Weighted-Average Margin (Percentage) Amended Weighted-Average Margin (Percentage) Abitibi 2.52 2.52 (and its affiliates Abitibi Consolidated Company of Canada. 7 Produits Forestiers Petit Paris Inc., Produits Forestiers La Tuque Inc.

We also note that, during the POR, Sinclar Enterprises Ltd. (Sinclar) acted as an affiliated reseller for Lakeland, an affiliate of Canfor. In this review, we reviewed the sales of Canfor and its affiliates; therefore, Canfor's weighted-average margin applies to all sales of subject merchandise produced by any member of the Canfor Group and sold by Sinclar. As Sinclar also separately requested a review, any sales of subject merchandise produced by another manufacturer and sold by Sinclar will receive the “Review-Specific Average” rate. Finally, we note that Canadian Forest Products, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canfor and will receive Canfor's weighted-average margin. 10 In the *Preliminary Results* , we listed companies on the review-specific rate list that did not request a review or have a review requested on them for the current review. Therefore, we have removed the following companies from the review specific-rate list for the final results: AFA Forest Products Inc., Associated Cedar Products, Ivis Wood Products, Lazy S Lumber, Mary's River Lumber, New West Lumber Ltd., Quadra Wood Products Ltd., Schols Cedar Products, Standard Building Products Ltd., Still Creek Forest Products Ltd., Taiga Forest Products, Western Cleanwood Preservers Ltd. and Western Wood Preservers Ltd. All of the above companies participated in the 1st Administrative Review and will continue to receive the review-specific average rate (3.78%) from that review. 11 In the *Preliminary Results* , we incorrectly listed Les Placements Jean-Paul Fontaine Ltee. as Paul Fontaine Ltee. and also as Les Placements Jean-Paul Fontaine Ltee. To correct this error we have removed Paul Fontaine Ltee. from the review-specific average rate list. 12 On October 13, 2005, we found that Produits Forestiers Arbec Inc. was the successor-in-interest to Unforet Inc. *See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* , 70 FR 59721 (October 13, 2005). We inadvertently omitted the new name in the final results and are including it here. 13 On August 19, 2005, we found that Western Forest Products Inc. and its subsidiaries, WFP Products Limited, WFP Western Lumber Ltd., and WFP Lumber Sales Limited, were the successors-in-interest to Doman Industries Limited, Doman Forest Products Limited, and Doman Western Lumber Ltd. *See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* , 70 FR 48673 (August 19, 2005). We inadvertently omitted the new names in the final results and are including them here. Cash Deposit Rates Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the amended final results of this administrative review for all shipments of certain softwood lumber products from Canada entered, or 0withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results, as provided by section 751(a) of the Act: 1) for companies covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed above; 2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; 3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and 4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will be 11.54 percent, the “All Others” rate calculated in the Department's recent determination under section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. *See Notice of Determination Under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act: Antidumping Measures on Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada* , 70 FR 22636 (May 2, 2005). These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. Assessment Rates In accordance with section 19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP on or after 41 days following the publication of these amended final results of review. We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(h) and 771(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: February 8, 2006. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. E6-2090 Filed 2-13-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-S DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [C-475-823] Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Italy: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review and Intent to Revoke Order AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On January 4, 2006, in response to a request by domestic producers of the subject merchandise, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice of initiation of a changed circumstances review of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel plate in coils, as described below. *See Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Italy: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review and Notice of Consideration of Revocation of Order* , 71 FR 328 (January 4, 2006) (“ *Initiation Notice* ”). In the *Initiation Notice* , we invited interested parties to comment on the Department's initiation and the proposed revocation of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Italy. We did not receive any comments. Absent any comments, we preliminarily conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which this order pertains lack interest in the relief provided by the order. Therefore, we preliminarily revoke this order, in whole, with respect to products entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 4, 1998, *i.e.* , the publication date of the Department's preliminary determination in the underlying investigation, because domestic parties have expressed no interest in the continuation of the order. *See Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty Determination with Final Antidumping Duty Determination: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Italy* , 63 FR 47246 (September 4, 1998) (“ *Preliminary Determination* ”). Unless the Department receives opposition from domestic producers whose production totals more than 15 percent of the domestic like product, the Department will revoke the order on stainless steel plate in coils in the final results of this review. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 14, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Farlander or Audrey R. Twyman, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone

(202)482-0182 and

(202)482-3534, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 11, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the “Department”) published a countervailing duty order on stainless steel plate in coils (“SSPC”) from Italy. *See Notice of Amended Final Determinations: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium and South Africa; and Notice of Countervailing Duty Orders: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium, Italy and South Africa* , 64 FR 25288 (May 11, 1999). The order was amended on March 11, 2003. *See Notice of Amended Countervailing Duty Orders; Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium, Italy, and South Africa* , 68 FR 11524 (March 11, 2003). The amended order was corrected on April 24, 2003. *See Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Belgium, Italy, and South Africa; Notice of Correction to the Amended Countervailing Duty Orders* , 68 FR 20115 (April 24, 2003). On December 2, 2005, the Department received a request from Allegheny Ludlum Corporation and AK Steel Corporation, some of the petitioners in the original investigation (“petitioners”), that the Department initiate a changed circumstances review for purposes of revoking the countervailing duty (“CVD”) order. Also, it is the petitioners' understanding that, upon revocation of the CVD order, the Department will fully refund any countervailing duties deposited pursuant to the order on unliquidated entries. The petitioners state that they are no longer interested in maintaining the countervailing duty order or in the imposition of CVD duties on the subject merchandise. On January 4, 2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of a changed circumstances review of the countervailing duty order on SSPC from Italy. *See Initiation Notice* . In the *Initiation Notice* , we indicated interested parties could submit comments for consideration in the Department's preliminary results not later than 14 days after publication of the initiation of the review, and submit responses to those comments not later than 5 days following the submission of comments. No comments were received. Scope of the Order The product covered by this order is certain stainless steel plate in coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. The subject plate products are flat-rolled products, 254 mm or over in width and 4.75 mm or more in thickness, in coils, and annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject plate may also be further processed (e.g., cold-rolled, polished, etc.) provided that it maintains the specified dimensions of plate following such processing. Excluded from the scope of this order are the following:

(1)plate not in coils,

(2)plate that is not annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled,

(3)sheet and strip, and

(4)flat bars. The merchandise subject to this order is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”) at subheadings: 7219.11.00.30, 7219.11.00.60, 7219.12.00.06, 7219.12.00.21, 7219.12.00.26, 7219.12.00.51, 7219.12.00.56, 7219.12.00.66, 7219.12.00.71, 7219.12.00.81, 7219.31.00.10, 7219.90.00.10, 7219.90.00.20, 7219.90.00.25, 7219.90.00.60, 7219.90.00.80, 7220.11.00.00, 7220.20.10.10, 7220.20.10.15, 7220.20.10.60, 7220.20.10.80, 7220.20.60.05, 7220.20.60.10, 7220.20.60.15, 7220.20.60.60, 7220.20.60.80, 7220.90.00.10, 7220.90.00.15, 7220.90.00.60, and 7220.90.00.80. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to this order is dispositive. Preliminary Results of Review and Intent to Revoke in Whole Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), and 19 CFR 351.222(g), the Department may revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, in whole or in part, based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act ( *i.e.* , a changed circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a changed circumstances review to be conducted upon receipt of a request which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act gives the Department the authority to revoke an order if producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the continuation of the order. Section 351.222(g) of the Department's regulations provides that the Department will conduct a changed circumstances review under 19 CFR 351.216, and may revoke an order (in whole or in part), if it concludes that

(i)producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the order pertains have expressed a lack of interest in the relief provided by the order, in whole or in part, or

(ii)if other changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation exist. The Department has interpreted “substantially all” production normally to mean at least 85 percent of domestic production of the like product. *See Certain Tin Mill Products From Japan: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review* , 66 FR 52109 (October 12, 2001). As noted above and in the *Initiation Notice* , the petitioners requested this changed circumstances review on the basis that they are no longer interested in maintaining the countervailing duty order or in the imposition of CVD duties on the subject merchandise. Because the Department did not receive any comments during the comment period opposing this changed circumstances review, we preliminarily conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product, to which this order pertains, lack interest in the relief provided by the order. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.222(g), the Department preliminarily determines that there is a reasonable basis to believe that changed circumstances exist and that it is sufficient to warrant revocation of the order. Therefore, the Department is preliminarily revoking the order on SSPC from Italy, in whole. Unless the Department receives opposition within the time limit set forth below from domestic producers whose production totals more than 15 percent of the domestic like product, the Department will revoke the order on SSPC in its final results of this review. If, as a result of this review, we revoke the order, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to liquidate without regard to applicable countervailing duties and refund any estimated countervailing duties collected on all unliquidated entries of the merchandise subject to the order, as described above in the “Scope of the Order” section, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 4, 1998, *i.e.* , the publication date of the Department's *Preliminary Determination* in the underlying investigation. We will also instruct CBP to pay interest on such refunds with respect to the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 11, 1999, in accordance with section 778 of the Act. The current requirement for a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties on the subject merchandise will continue unless, and until, we publish a final determination to revoke in whole. Public Comment Interested parties may submit case briefs not later than 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. *See* 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, which must be limited to issues raised in such case briefs, may be filed not later than 19 days after the date of publication of this notice. *See* 19 CFR 351.309(d). Parties who submit arguments are requested to submit with the argument

SUMMARY: On January 4, 2006, in response to a request by domestic producers of the subject merchandise, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice of initiation of a changed circumstances review of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel plate in coils, as described below. *See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review and Notice of Consideration of Revocation of Order* , 71 FR 329 (January 4, 2006) (“ *Initiation Notice* ”). In the *Initiation Notice* , we invited interested parties to comment on the Department's initiation and the proposed revocation of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Italy. We did not receive any comments. Absent any comments, we preliminarily conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which this order pertains lack interest in the relief provided by the order. Therefore, we preliminarily revoke this order, in whole, with respect to products entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 17, 1998, *i.e.* , the publication date of the Department's preliminary determination in the underlying investigation, because domestic parties have expressed no interest in the continuation of the order. *See Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty Determination with Final Antidumping Duty Determination: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy* , 63 FR 63900 (November 17, 1998) (“ *Preliminary Determination* ”). Unless the Department receives opposition from domestic producers whose production totals more than 15 percent of the domestic like product, the Department will revoke the order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils in the final results of this review. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 14, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Farlander or Audrey R.

(202)482-3534, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 6, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the “Department”) published a countervailing duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils (“SSSS”) from Italy. *See Amended Final Determination: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from the Republic of Korea; and Notice of Countervailing Duty Orders: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from France, Italy, and the Republic of Korea* , 64 FR 42923 (August 6, 1999). On December 2, 2005, the Department received a request from Allegheny Ludlum Corporation and AK Steel Corporation, some of the petitioners in the original investigation (“petitioners”), that the Department initiate a changed circumstances review for purposes of revoking the countervailing duty (“CVD”) order. Also, it is the petitioners' understanding that, upon revocation of the CVD order, the Department will fully refund any countervailing duties deposited pursuant to the order on unliquidated entries. The petitioners state that they are no longer interested in maintaining the countervailing duty order or in the imposition of CVD duties on the subject merchandise. On January 4, 2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of a changed circumstances review of the countervailing duty order on SSSS from Italy. *See Initiation Notice* . In the *Initiation Notice* , we indicated interested parties could submit comments for consideration in the Department's preliminary results not later than 14 days after publication of the initiation of the review, and submit responses to those comments not later than 5 days following the submission of comments. No comments were received. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are certain stainless steel sheet and strip in coils. Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. The subject sheet and strip is a flat-rolled product in coils that is greater than 9.5 mm in width and less than 4.75 mm in thickness, and that is annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject sheet and strip may also be further processed ( *e.g.* , cold-rolled, polished, aluminized, coated, etc.) provided that it maintains the specific dimensions of sheet and strip following such processing. The merchandise subject to this order is classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”) at the following subheadings: 7219.13.00.30, 7219.13.00.50, 7219.13.00.70, 7219.13.00.80, 7219.14.00.30, 7219.14.00.65, 7219.14.00.90, 7219.32.00.05, 7219.32.00.20, 7219.32.00.25, 7219.32.00.35, 7219.32.00.36, 7219.32.00.38, 7219.32.00.42, 7219.32.00.44, 7219.33.00.05, 7219.33.00.20, 7219.33.00.25, 7219.33.00.35, 7219.33.00.36, 7219.33.00.38, 7219.33.00.42, 7219.33.00.44, 7219.34.00.05, 7219.34.00.20, 7219.34.00.25, 7219.34.00.30, 7219.34.00.35, 7219.35.00.05, 7219.35.00.15, 7219.35.00.30, 7219.35.00.35, 7219.90.00.10, 7219.90.00.20, 7219.90.00.25, 7219.90.00.60, 7219.90.00.80, 7220.12.10.00, 7220.12.50.00, 7220.20.10.10, 7220.20.10.15, 7220.20.10.60, 7220.20.10.80, 7220.20.60.05, 7220.20.60.10, 7220.20.60.15, 7220.20.60.60, 7220.20.60.80, 7220.20.70.05, 7220.20.70.10, 7220.20.70.15, 7220.20.70.60, 7220.20.70.80, 7220.20.80.00, 7220.20.90.30, 7220.20.90.60, 7220.90.00.10, 7220.90.00.15, 7220.90.00.60, and 7220.90.00.80. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the Department's written description of the merchandise covered by this order is dispositive. Excluded from the scope of this order are the following:

(1)sheet and strip that is not annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled;

(2)sheet and strip that is cut to length;

This product is most commonly used in electronic sensors and is currently available under proprietary trade names such as “Arnokrome III.” 1 1 “Arnokrome III” is a trademark of the Arnold Engineering Company. Certain electrical resistance alloy steel is also excluded from the scope of this order. This product is defined as a non-magnetic stainless steel manufactured to American Society of Testing and Materials

(ASTM)specification B344 and containing, by weight, 36 percent nickel, 18 percent chromium, and 46 percent iron, and is most notable for its resistance to high-temperature corrosion. It has a melting point of 1390 degrees Celsius and displays a creep rupture limit of 4 kilograms per square millimeter at 1000 degrees Celsius. This steel is most commonly used in the production of heating ribbons for circuit breakers and industrial furnaces, and in rheostats for railway locomotives. The product is currently available under proprietary trade names such as “Gilphy 36.” 2 2 “Gilphy 36” is a trademark of Imphy, S.A. Certain martensitic precipitation-hardenable stainless steel is also excluded from the scope of this order. This high-strength, ductile stainless steel product is designated under the Unified Numbering System

(UNS)as S45500-grade steel, and contains, by weight, 11 to 13 percent chromium and 7 to 10 percent nickel. Carbon, manganese, silicon and molybdenum each comprise, by weight, 0.05 percent or less, with phosphorus and sulfur each comprising, by weight, 0.03 percent or less. This steel has copper, niobium, and titanium added to achieve aging and will exhibit yield strengths as high as 1700 Mpa and ultimate tensile strengths as high as 1750 Mpa after aging, with elongation percentages of 3 percent or less in 50 mm. It is generally provided in thicknesses between 0.635 and 0.787 mm, and in widths of 25.4 mm. This product is most commonly used in the manufacture of television tubes and is currently available under proprietary trade names such as “Durphynox 17.” 3 3 “Durphynox 17” is a trademark of Imphy, S.A. Finally, three specialty stainless steels typically used in certain industrial blades and surgical and medical instruments are also excluded from the scope of this order. These include stainless steel strip in coils used in the production of textile cutting tools ( *e.g.* , carpet knives). 4 This steel is similar to AISI grade 420 but containing, by weight, 0.5 to 0.7 percent of molybdenum. The steel also contains, by weight, carbon of between 1.0 and 1.1 percent, sulfur of 0.020 percent or less, and includes between 0.20 and 0.30 percent copper and between 0.20 and 0.50 percent cobalt. This steel is sold under proprietary names such as “GIN4 Mo.” The second excluded stainless steel strip in coils is similar to AISI 420-J2 and contains, by weight, carbon of between 0.62 and 0.70 percent, silicon of between 0.20 and 0.50 percent, manganese of between 0.45 and 0.80 percent, phosphorus of no more than 0.025 percent, and sulfur of no more than 0.020 percent.

The third specialty steel has a chemical composition similar to AISI 420 F, with carbon of between 0.37 and 0.43 percent, molybdenum of between 1.15 and 1.35 percent, but lower manganese of between 0.20 and 0.80 percent, phosphorus of no more than 0.025 percent, silicon of between 0.20 and 0.50 percent, and sulfur of no more than 0.020 percent. This product is supplied with a hardness of more than Hv 500 guaranteed after customer processing, and is supplied as, for example, “GIN6.” 5 4 This list of uses is illustrative and provided for descriptive purposes only. 5 “GIN4 Mo,” “GIN5” and “GIN6” are the proprietary grades of Hitachi Metals America, Ltd. Preliminary Results of Review and Intent to Revoke in Whole Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), and 19 CFR 351.222(g), the Department may revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, in whole or in part, based on a review under section 751(b) of the Act ( *i.e.* , a changed circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a changed circumstances review to be conducted upon receipt of a request which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act gives the Department the authority to revoke an order if producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a lack of interest in the continuation of the order. Section 351.222(g) of the Department's regulations provides that the Department will conduct a changed circumstances review under 19 CFR 351.216, and may revoke an order (in whole or in part), if it concludes that

(ii)if other changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation exist. The Department has interpreted “substantially all” production normally to mean at least 85 percent of domestic production of the like product. *See Certain Tin Mill Products From Japan: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review* , 66 FR 52109 (October 12, 2001). As noted above and in the *Initiation Notice* , the petitioners requested this changed circumstances review on the basis that they are no longer interested in maintaining the countervailing duty order or in the imposition of CVD duties on the subject merchandise. Because the Department did not receive any comments during the comment period opposing this changed circumstances review, we preliminarily conclude that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product, to which this order pertains, lack interest in the relief provided by the order. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.222(g), the Department preliminarily determines that there is a reasonable basis to believe that changed circumstances exist and that it is sufficient to warrant revocation of the order. Therefore, the Department is preliminarily revoking the order on SSSS from Italy, in whole. Unless the Department receives opposition within the time limit set forth below from domestic producers whose production totals more than 15 percent of the domestic like product, the Department will revoke the order on SSSS in its final results of this review. If, as a result of this review, we revoke the order, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to liquidate without regard to applicable countervailing duties and refund any estimated countervailing duties collected on all unliquidated entries of the merchandise subject to the order, as described above in the “Scope of the Order” section, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 17, 1998, *i.e.* , the publication date of the Department's *Preliminary Determination* in the underlying investigation. We will also instruct CBP to pay interest on such refunds with respect to the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 6, 1999, in accordance with section 778 of the Act. The current requirement for a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties on the subject merchandise will continue unless, and until, we publish a final determination to revoke in whole. Public Comment Interested parties may submit case briefs not later than 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. *See* 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, which must be limited to issues raised in such case briefs, may be filed not later than 19 days after the date of publication of this notice. *See* 19 CFR 351.309(d). Parties who submit arguments are requested to submit with the argument

(1)a statement of the issue,

(2)a brief summary of the argument, and

(202)482-5438. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chapter 19 of the North American Free-Trade Agreement (“Agreement”) establishes a mechanism to replace domestic judicial review of the final determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a NAFTA country with review by independent binational panels. When a Request for Panel Review is filed, a panel is established to act in place of national courts to review expeditiously the final determination to determine whether it conforms with the antidumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination. Under Article 1904 of the Agreement, which came into force on January 1, 1994, the Government of the United States, the Government of Canada and the Government of Mexico established *Rules of Procedure for Article 1904 Binational Panel Reviews* (“Rules”). These Rules were published in the **Federal Register** on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8686). The panel review in this matter has been conducted in accordance with these Rules. *Panel Decision:* The Panel concluded and ordered the Department as follows: The Department is directed to determine whether the decrease in the magnitude of TAMSA's foreign currency denominated debt in the sunset review period outweighs the “likelihood” presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order exports. If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA's foreign currency denominated debt does not outweigh the “likelihood” presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order exports, the Department is directed to explain the reasons leading to its determination. If the Department determines that the lower level of TAMSA's foreign currency denominated debt in fact outweighs the “likelihood” presumption that results from the decrease in TAMSA's post-order exports, the Department is directed to enter a finding of no likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping. The Department is further directed to issue its Final Redetermination on Remand within twenty days from the date of this Panel Decision. The Department was directed to report the results of its remand decision within 20 days of the date of the opinion, or not later than February 28, 2006. Dated: February 8, 2006. Caratina L.

Information regarding NVLAP and the accreditation process can also be viewed at *http://www.nist.gov/nvlap.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to Homeland Security Presidential Directive

(HSPD)12, the NIST Computer Security Division initiated a new program for improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information systems. Federal Information Processing Standard

(FIPS)201, entitled Personal Identity Verification

(PIV)of Federal Employees and Contractors, was developed to satisfy the requirements of HSPD 12, approved by the Secretary of Commerce, and issued on February 25, 2005. To meet the interoperability requirements as specified in HSPD-12 and implemented in FIPS 201 and associated Special Publications (SP), NIST has established the NIST Personal Identity Verification Program (NPIVP) to certify interoperable Personal Identity Verification

(PIV)components and sub-systems. In furtherance of NPIVP, the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is establishing a program for laboratories that test PIV components and sub-systems for conformance to the interoperability requirements of FIPS 201 and associated special publications. NVLAP accreditation criteria are established in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR part 285), NVLAP Procedures and General Requirements. Laboratories conducting this testing will be required to meet ISO/IEC International Standard 17025, general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. For each new laboratory accreditation program (LAP), NVLAP works with the affected testing community to develop program-specific technical requirements. These requirements tailor the general accreditation criteria referenced in Sections 4 and 5 of NIST Handbook 150 to the test and services in the new LAP. Program-specific requirements include the details of the scope of accreditation, test and measurement equipment, personnel requirements, validation of test methods, and reporting of test results. Authority: This work effort is being initiated pursuant to NIST's responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002. Dated: February 8, 2006. William Jeffrey, Director.

(907)271-2809. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Halibut Stakeholder Committee will develop two alternatives for the long term management of the halibut charter fishery. The alternatives would be considered by the North Pacific Council at its April 5-11, 2006 meeting. The committee will identify common principles and goals to develop a problem statement and define two alternatives for a future analysis. One alternative would be an allocation based program. Elements to be included in the plan should include, but not be limited to:

(1)A percentage based allocation that would float up and down with abundance in a fashion similar to the commercial longline Total Allowable Catch (TAC);

(2)Subdivision of Area 2C and 3A into smaller geographic sub-districts, including time certain establishment of local area management plans (LAMPs) and super-exclusive registration areas;

(3)Management measures that will be used to enforce the allocation, including: a) the current suite of measures to reduce harvests under the Guideline Harvest Level

(GHL)(i.e., one trip per vessel per day, no harvest by skipper and crew, and annual limit of 5 or 6 fish per person (for Area 2C only));(b) Measures being pursued by the State of Alaska in 2006, including:

(i)a halibut reporting requirement in charter boat logbooks with methodology to ensure accuracy;

(ii)a proposed regulation to the Board of Fish to prohibit retention or harvest of fish by skipper and crew members when clients are on board; and

(iii)limit the number of lines fished to the number of clients;

(c)Other annual bag limits;

(d)Limitations on days fished (either total number of days or by excluding specific days of the week);

(e)Reduced daily limits including size limitations for the second fish caught;

(f)Subtraction of any allocation exceedence from the following year's allocation;

(g)Federal moratorium or control date of December 9, 2006 and/or a State limited entry program with delayed transferability;

(h)Mechanisms which, if the charter harvest continues to grow, would allow for an orderly and compensated allocation shift from the longline sector to the charter sector, including the use of a charter stamp, which would generate funds to pay for management of the charter fishery and to buy longline shares to be converted into the charter allocation;

(i)Exploration of delegation of some management aspects of the halibut sport fishery, including the charter sector, to the State of Alaska. A second alternative would be a modified Individual Fishing Quota

(IFQ)program, including, but not be limited to:

(1)The elements of the previously proposed

(2001)charter IFQ program;

(2)A modified IFQ program, including, but not be limited to, addressing potential legal vulnerabilities that may exist in the 2001 IFQ program. Such approaches might include a “leveling” plan, other effort based mechanisms to update 1998 and 1999 history, new history approaches, an effort based transferable seat program, or other options;

(3)Subdivision of Area 2C and 3A into smaller geographic sub-districts, including time certain establishment of LAMPs;

(4)The use of a moratorium or control date of December 9, 2006; and

(5)Other elements to be identified by the committee. Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting.
