This is a public NOAA fishery-management meeting notice, accompanied by unrelated Federal Register notices—not a procurement solicitation. - Government organizations: The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), announces a webinar of the New England Fishery Management Council’s Joint Groundfish Committee and Advisory Panel. - The group will discuss updates on Frameworks 74 and 68, draft alternatives for Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) stability tools, and draft Council groundfish priorities; recommendations may go to the full Council. - Additional attached notice: NMFS issued the U.S. Navy an incidental harassment authorization for its Marine Structure Maintenance and Pile Replacement Program at Navy installations in Puget Sound, Washington. This is an authorization, not a request for contractors or services. - Other unrelated notice: A Commerce Department review of countervailing duties on melamine from China reports subsidy rates of 154.00% for Far-Reaching Chemical Co., Ltd., M and A Chemicals Corp China, and Qingdao Unichem International Trade Co., Ltd.; 156.90% for Shandong Liaherd Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.; and 154.58% for all others. These companies are named in the trade notice, not as procurement vendors. - Procurement status: No products, quantities, part numbers, OEMs, vendors, or contract value are identified as being solicited.
