SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Phytophthora Ramorum;
Quarantine and Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0310.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the
importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart–Phytophthora Ramorum’’
(§§ 301.92 through 301.92–12), the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture restricts the interstate
movement of certain articles to prevent
the spread of Phytophthora ramorum,
the plant pathogen that causes the
disease commonly known as sudden
oak death. The regulations contain
requirements for the interstate
movement of regulated articles, such as
nursery stock and certain trees, from
both quarantined and nonquarantined
areas and involve information collection
activities, including compliance
agreements, annual inspections of
nurseries and certification of nurseries,
issuance and cancellation of certificates,
sampling labels for testing, records of
fungicide applications, recordkeeping of
incoming and outgoing shipments of
plants, notification of high risk P.
ramorum genera, and emergency action
notifications.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.

The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.29
hours per response.
Respondents: Nurseries, private
industry, and State plant regulatory
officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 29.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 23.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 678.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 199 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 19th day of
April 2017.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with section 735(d) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on March 3, 2017, the
Department published its affirmative
final determination in the less than fair
value (‘‘LTFV’’) investigation of
phosphor copper from Korea.1 On April
17, 2017, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determination
pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act,
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by
reason of LTFV imports of phosphor
copper from Korea.2
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is master alloys 3 of copper containing
between five percent and 17 percent
phosphorus by nominal weight,
regardless of form (including but not
limited to shot, pellet, waffle, ingot, or
nugget), and regardless of size or weight.
Subject merchandise consists
predominantly of copper (by weight),
and may contain other elements,
including but not limited to iron (Fe),
lead (Pb), or tin (Sn), in small amounts
(up to one percent by nominal weight).
Phosphor copper is frequently produced
to JIS H2501 and ASTM B–644, Alloy
3A standards or higher; however,
merchandise covered by the order
includes all phosphor copper, regardless
of whether the merchandise meets, fails
to meet, or exceeds these standards.
Merchandise covered by the order is
currently classified in the Harmonized

Korea: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at

to which a relatively high percentage of one or two
other elements is added.

Antidumping Duty Order
On April 17, 2017, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determination in this
investigation, in which it found that
imports of phosphor copper from Korea
are materially injuring a U.S. industry.4
Therefore, in accordance with section
735(c)(2) of the Act, we are publishing
this antidumping duty order.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of phosphor copper from Korea
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Korea, entered or
withdrawn for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon
further instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
phosphor copper from Korea.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of phosphor copper
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after October 14,
2016, the date on which the Department
published the Preliminary
Determination,5 but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of
the provisional measures period and
before publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination, as further
described below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on entries of subject merchandise from
Korea. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits equal to the estimated

ITC Letter.

5 See

weighted-average dumping margins
indicated in the chart below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this subject merchandise, a cash deposit
at the rates listed below.6 The ‘‘all
others’’ rate applies to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of Bongsan Co.,
Ltd., the sole mandatory respondent in
this investigation, the Department
extended the four-month period to six
months.7 In the underlying
investigation, the Department published
the Preliminary Determination on
October 14, 2016.8 Therefore, the sixmonth period beginning on the date of
the publication of the Preliminary
Determination ended on April 11, 2017.
Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of phosphor copper entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after April 11, 2017, the
date the provisional measures expired,
and through the day preceding the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
