recipients, providers, and funders when
no or few fully evidence-based
interventions are available; and helps
promote continued innovation in the
development of evidence-based
interventions. Others have argued that
several distinct categories will confuse
NREPP users. Please comment on
SAMHSA’s proposal in this area.
5. SAMHSA recognizes the
importance of considering the extent to
which interventions have been tested
with diverse populations and in diverse
settings. Therefore, the agency
anticipates incorporating this
information into the web site
descriptions of interventions listed on
NREPP. This may allow NREPP users to
learn if interventions are applicable to
their specific needs and situations, and
may also help to identify areas where
additional studies are needed to address
the effectiveness of interventions with
diverse populations and in diverse
locations.
SAMHSA is aware that more evidence
is needed on these topics. Please
comment on SAMHSA’s approach in
this area.
6. To promote consistent, reliable, and
transparent standards to the public,
SAMHSA proposes that all existing
programs on NREPP meet the prevailing
scientific criteria described in this
proposal, and that this be accomplished
through required re-reviews of all
programs currently on NREPP.
SAMHSA has considered an alternative
approach that would ‘‘grandfather’’ all
existing NREPP programs under the new
system, but would provide clear
communication that these existing
programs have not been assessed against
the new NREPP scientific standards.
Please comment on which approach you
believe to be in the best interests of
SAMHSA stakeholders.
7. What types of guidance, resources,
and/or specific technical assistance
activities are needed to promote greater
adoption of NREPP interventions, and
what direct and indirect methods
should SAMHSA consider in advancing
this goal?
8. SAMHSA is committed to
consumer, family, and other
nonscientist involvement in the NREPP
process. The panels convened by
SAMHSA and described earlier in this
notice suggested that these stakeholders
be included specifically to address
issues of intervention utility and
practicality. Please comment on how
consumer, family, and other
nonscientist stakeholders could be
involved in NREPP.
9. SAMHSA has identified NREPP as
one source of evidence-based
interventions for selection by potential

agency grantees in meeting the
requirements related to some of
SAMHSA’s discretionary grants. What
guidance, if any, should SAMHSA
provide related to NREPP as a source of
evidence-based interventions for use
under the agency’s substance abuse and
mental health block grants?
10. SAMHSA believes that NREPP
should serve as an important, but not
exclusive source, of evidence-based
interventions to prevent and/or treat
mental and substance use disorders.
What steps should SAMHSA take to
promote consideration of other sources
(e.g., clinical expertise, consumer or
recipient values) in stakeholders’
decisions regarding the selection,
delivery and financing of mental health
and substance abuse prevention and
treatment services?
11. SAMHSA anticipates that once
NREPP is in operation, various
stakeholders will make suggestions for
improving the system. To consider this
input in a respectful, deliberate, and
orderly manner, SAMHSA anticipates
annually reviewing these suggestions.
These reviews would be conducted by
a group of scientist and nonscientist
stakeholders knowledgeable about
evidence in behavioral health and the
social sciences. Please comment on
SAMHSA’s proposal in this area.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) suspends the
liquidation of entries of merchandise
subject to antidumping and/or
countervailing duties (AD/CVD) until
liquidation instructions are received
from the Department of Commerce. Due
to the extended liquidation cycle of AD/
CVD entries, CBP is only now beginning
to receive liquidation instructions from
the Department of Commerce for many
AD/CVD entries from previous years.
Unfortunately, AD/CVD entry
documents which were maintained by
CBP at 6 World Trade Center in New
York, New York, were destroyed in the
terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
This notice announces that CBP is
providing importers with the option to
provide a reconstructed entry summary
package to CBP for liquidation of these
entries. Failure by the importer to
provide a reconstructed entry summary
package within the time frame described
in this notice may result in liquidation
by CBP of the entry, or entries, based
upon the information available within
the Automated Commercial System
(ACS).
If a reconstructed entry summary
package is not received by the Bureau of
Customs and Border Protection within
30 days following publication by the
Department of Commerce that
suspension of the liquidation of the
subject entry, or entries, has been lifted,
and the Department of Commerce has
issued final assessment instructions,
CBP will begin liquidating the entries
based on the information available in
ACS.
DATES:
The reconstructed entry
package should be mailed to: Customs
and Border Protection, ATTN: ADCVD
6WTC Reconstructed Entry(s), 1100
Raymond Boulevard, Newark, NJ 07102.

Operations, (202) 344–2293. For
inquiries about specific entry summary
packages: Walter Springer, Supervisory
Import Specialist, Newark, N.J., (973)
368–6785. Importers, or their
representatives, may also directly
contact the Import Specialist Teams to
whom the entries were assigned. A
party making a telephonic inquiry
regarding a specific entry summary
package should be prepared to provide
its importer name and identification
number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
U.S. Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty (AD/CVD) laws are intended to
E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM
26AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 165 / Friday, August 26, 2005 / Notices
counter unfair trade practices that result
in injury to U.S. industry.
AD/CV investigations are typically
initiated by a domestic industry or
industry association, through the filing
of a petition with the Department of
Commerce (DOC), alleging unfair
competition by foreign manufacturers or
foreign countries. The DOC then
investigates the allegations. If DOC
makes a preliminary determination that
dumping or subsidies exist, the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
must then make a determination as to
whether an industry in the United
States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury, or
whether the establishment of an
industry (in the United States), is
materially retarded by reason of the
unfair competition. If final positive
determinations are made, DOC orders
CBP to assess AD/CV duties at rates
determined by the DOC. The importer of
record is responsible for paying these
duties.
AD duties are appropriate where the
DOC determines that a foreign firm
‘‘dumps’’ merchandise in the U.S.
market, i.e. sells merchandise in the
U.S. market at a price lower than its fair
value. CV duties are appropriate when
a foreign government unfairly
subsidizes its industries that export to
the United States. The purpose of AD/
CV duties is to counteract the unfair
advantages that the foreign
manufacturer achieves through the
dumping and/or subsidy practices.
Normally, CBP, upon instructions
from the DOC, suspends the liquidation
of entries of merchandise subject to
additional antidumping and/or
countervailing duties until the DOC
instructs CPB to remove the suspension
and liquidate the entries. Pursuant to
title 19, Code of Federal Regulations,
section 159.58 (19 CFR 159.58), CBP
notifies concerned importers,
consignees or their agents that
liquidation of their entries has been
suspended. The length of time for which
an AD/CVD entry will be suspended
depends, in part, on whether DOC
conducts an administrative review.
Also, if a decision by DOC regarding
AD/CVD entries is challenged in the
Court of International Trade (CIT),
which happens frequently, the length of
time of the suspension of liquidation
may be increased dramatically.
Consequently, liquidation of these types
of entries may occur several years after
the merchandise is originally entered
and at AD/CVD rates that differ from the
rate at the time of initial entry. For this
reason, CBP may need to review the
physical entry documents to determine
the correct AD/CVD rate at liquidation.

Depending upon the amount of
information provided by the importer to
CBP via their ABI transmission, CBP
may not be able to determine various
factors that are needed to assess the
final margin. These factors may include
the nature and amount of the
merchandise, the producer of the goods,
and the identity of the exporter.
Upon the completion of the various
investigations and reviews, it is possible
that an entry may be subject at
liquidation to AD/CV duties in addition
to those already assessed, may be
liquidated as entered or may be
liquidated at a different AD/CVD rate
than previously deposited. For example,
if it is finally determined that the
subject merchandise was not subject to
AD/CV duties, then a full refund may be
in order.
Many AD/CVD entries stored at 6
World Trade Center were among those
documents destroyed in the terrorist
attack on September 11, 2001. The
destroyed documents include those
related to AD/CVD entries filed at the
New York Seaport (port code 1001) and
Newark/Elizabeth, N.J. (port code 4601,
and sub-ports 4602, etc.). Although less
likely, the destroyed documents may
also include documents related to AD/
CVD entries filed at JFK Airport/
Jamaica/Queens NY, (port code 4701
and sub-ports 4702, etc.). Due to the
extended liquidation cycle of AD/CVD
entries, CBP is only now beginning to
receive liquidation instructions from the
DOC for these entries. Therefore, CPB is
providing importers with the option to
provide a reconstructed entry summary
package to CBP for liquidation, when
the suspension of liquidation of that
importer’s entry, or entries, has been
lifted. Importers are provided public
notice of the lifting of liquidation
suspension. Any party awaiting the
lifting of liquidation suspension by the
DOC regarding its AD/CVD entry, or
entries, should review the Federal
Register on a regular basis. Any party
unsure whether their entry or entries are
affected by this notice, or with any other
questions regarding a specific entry
summary package, should call the
appropriate telephone number provided
in this notice or should contact the
Import Specialist Team(s) to whom the
entries were assigned.
Requirements; Failure To Timely
Provide Reconstructed Entry Summary
Package
It is in the importer’s interest to
provide the reconstructed entry
summary package to CBP no later than
30 days following publication by the
DOC that suspension of liquidation of
the subject entry, or entries, has been

lifted. Upon receipt of final assessment
instructions from the Department of
Commerce, CBP will begin the process
of liquidating the entries based upon the
information available (which may not be
complete) within the Automated
Commercial System (ACS).
Protests
As usual, CBP will consider timely
protests, submitted pursuant to 19 CFR,
part 174, of its liquidation of any entry
or entries.
