public on Commerce’s website at the
following address: https://
enforcement.trade.gov/sunset. All
submissions in these Sunset Reviews
must be filed in accordance with
Commerce’s regulations regarding
format, translation, and service of
documents. These rules, including
electronic filing requirements via
Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR
351.303.
In accordance with section 782(b) of
the Act, any party submitting factual
information in an AD/CVD proceeding
must certify to the accuracy and
completeness of that information.
Parties must use the certification
formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g).
Commerce intends to reject factual
submissions if the submitting party does
not comply with applicable revised
certification requirements.
Letters of Appearance and
Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d),
Commerce will maintain and make
available a public service list for these
proceedings. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these five-year
reviews must file letters of appearance
as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To
facilitate the timely preparation of the
public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested
parties to a proceeding submit an entry
of appearance within 10 days of the
publication of the Notice of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews
can be very short, we urge interested
parties who want access to proprietary
information under administrative
protective order (APO) to file an APO
application immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of initiation. Commerce’s
regulations on submission of proprietary
information and eligibility to receive
access to business proprietary
information under APO can be found at
19 CFR 351.304–306. Note that
Commerce has temporarily modified
certain of its requirements for serving
documents containing business
proprietary information, until further
notice.

Information Required From Interested
Parties
Domestic interested parties, as
defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F),
and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b), wishing to participate in a
Sunset Review must respond not later
than 15 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of initiation by filing a notice
of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to
participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with
Commerce’s regulations, if we do not
receive a notice of intent to participate
from at least one domestic interested
party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce
will automatically revoke the order
without further review.

If we receive an order-specific notice
of intent to participate from a domestic
interested party, Commerce’s
regulations provide that all parties
wishing to participate in a Sunset
Review must file complete substantive
responses not later than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive
response, on an order-specific basis, are
set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note
that certain information requirements
differ for respondent and domestic
parties. Also, note that Commerce’s
information requirements are distinct
from the ITC ’s information
requirements. Consult Commerce’s
regulations for information regarding
Commerce’s conduct of Sunset Reviews.
Consult Commerce’s regulations at 19
CFR part 351 for definitions of terms
and for other general information
concerning antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings at

Request; Pacific Islands Region Vessel
and Gear Identification Requirements
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on October 28,
2020, (85 FR 68305) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Title: Pacific Islands Region Vessel
and Gear Identification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0360.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 484.
Average Hours per Response: 1 Hour,
Vessel ID Requirements; 1 Minute, Gear
ID Requirements.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,217.
Needs and Uses: Regulations at 50
CFR 665.16, 300.35, and 300.217 require
that all U.S. vessels with Federal
permits fishing for western Pacific
fishery management unit species
display identification markings on the
vessel. Each Vessel registered for use
with a permit issued under Subparts B
through E and Subparts G through I of
50 CFR 665, must have the vessel’s
official number displayed on both sides
of the deckhouse or hull, and on an
appropriate weather deck. Regulations
at 50 CFR 300.35 require that each
vessel fishing under the South Pacific
Tuna Treaty must display its
international radio call sign on the hull,
the deck, and on the sides of auxiliary
equipment, such as skiffs and
helicopters. Vessels fishing for highly
migratory species in the Western and
Central Pacific Fisheries Commission
(WCPFC) Convention Area and in
international waters must comply with
the regulations at 50 CFR 300.217
requiring the display of the vessel’s
international radio call sign on both
sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on
an appropriate weather deck, unless
specifically exempted. In each case, the
numbers must be a specific size and in
specified locations. The display of the
identifying numbers aids in fishery law
enforcement.
The regulations at 50 CFR 665.128,
665.228, 665.428, 665.628, and 665.804
require that certain fishing gear must be
marked. In the pelagic longline
fisheries, the vessel operator must

ensure that the official number of the
vessel is affixed to every longline buoy
and float. In the coral reef ecosystem
fisheries, the vessel number must be
affixed to all fish and crab traps. The
marking of gear links fishing or other
activity to the vessel, aids law
enforcement, and is valuable in actions
concerning the damage to or loss of gear,
and civil proceedings.
Affected Public: Mainly small for-
profit businesses and individuals.
Frequency: As required.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The
subject amendment to Permit No. 23188
is requested under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
Permit No. 23188, issued on
September 25, 2020 (85 FR 63524),
authorizes the permit holder to conduct
scientific research on northern elephant
seals (Mirounga angustirostris) in
California. The permit continues a long-
term research program started in 1968 to
study northern elephant seal population
growth and status, reproductive
strategies, behavioral and physiological
adaptations for diving and fasting,
general physiology and metabolism, and
sensory physiology. The permit holder
is requesting the permit be amended to
include a new research location and
increase the number of takes of juvenile
elephant seals by 50 animals annually
for the currently authorized activities.
The increased takes will be for a
comparative study of weaning weights
across colonies, including the Lost Coast
colony in the King Range National
Conservation Area.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
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.
