Download as PDF 59032 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 11, 2005 / Notices and Final Results and Partial Rescission of the Third Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 68 FR 41304 (July 11, 2003), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. The weight given to each factor investigated will depend on the circumstances surrounding the sale. See TTPC, 366 F. Supp. 2d at 1263. As discussed in detail in the Department’s Rescission Memo, the Department has determined that the new shipper sale made by Xinan PRC was not bona fide because of: 1) inconsistencies between the prices charged and the quantities sold by Xinan USA for the single POR sale and all subsequent sales made by Xinan USA during the POR from the PRC; 2) the circumstances surrounding payment for the expenses associated with the single POR sale; and 3) inconsistencies regarding the sales process followed by Xinan USA for the POR sale. Since the Department is rescinding this new shipper review, we are not calculating a company–specific rate for Xinan, and Xinan will remain part of the PRC–wide entity. Notification The Department will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection that bonding is no longer permitted to fulfill security requirements for shipments by Xinan PRC of honey from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in the United States on or after the publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register, and that a cash deposit of 183.80 percent ad valorem should be collected for any entries exported by Xinan PRC. This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO material 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 sanctions. We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: October 3, 2005. Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration. [FR Doc.

NOAA is considering amending the permit or issuing a new permit to address the condition of the cables. NOAA’s goal is to fully achieve the objectives of the terms and conditions of the permit, which would prevent chronic damage to resources, substantially reduce risks to resources and fishers, and restore access to Native Americans to their treaty-reserved fishing grounds. NOAA is evaluating various remedial options to determine which option or combination of options would be most suitable to achieve this goal. The options range from no action to complete removal and reburial of the cables. ACOE, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, has permitting authority for obstructions to navigation, and pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act has permitting authority for the discharge of dredge or fill material in waters of the United States. As a cooperating agency, ACOE is considering modifying the existing Section 10/404 permit it issued for the Pacific Crossing cables to allow the proposed remediation in OCNMS to be performed.
