Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 55430-55431 [06-8075]

Download as PDF 55430 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 184 / Friday, September 22, 2006 / Notices suspend liquidation of affected entries. The Department will not order the lifting of the suspension of liquidation on entries of ball bearings and parts thereof made during the review period before a court decision in this lawsuit becomes final and conclusive. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with section 516A(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Decision Not in Harmony The CIT ruled that the Department’s decision to use partial facts available with respect to SKF’s margin calculation was not supported by substantial evidence on the record. The changes to our calculations with respect to SKF resulted in a change in the weighted– average margin for ball bearings and parts thereof from 6.70 percent to 6.19 percent for the period of review. Accordingly, absent an appeal or, if appealed, upon a ‘‘conclusive’’ decision by the CIT, we will amend our final results of this review to reflect the recalculation of the margin for SKF. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered the Department to re–evaluate and re–examine its decision by providing evidentiary support for using partial adverse facts available unrelated to SKF’s alleged failure to offer evidence at verification or, in the alternative, to recalculate SKF’s margin using SKF’s own information. See SKF USA Inc., SKF France S.A., and Sarma v. United States, 391 F. Supp. 2d 1327, 1337 (CIT 2005). In accordance with the CIT’s remand order in SKF, 391 F. Supp. 2d at 1337, the Department filed its redetermination on remand of the final results (remand results) on December 21, 2005. On September 1, 2006, the CIT affirmed in part and struck in part the Department’s remand results. The stricken parts of the remand results do not affect the weighted–average margin the Department recalculated for SKF in the remand results. See SKF, slip op. 06–133. Non–Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review Suspension of Liquidation The United States Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that the Department must publish notice of a decision of the CIT or the CAFC which is not in harmony with the Department’s determination. See The Timken Company v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed. Cir. 1990). Publication of this notice fulfills that obligation. The CAFC also held that, in such a case, the Department must suspend liquidation until there is a ‘‘conclusive’’ decision in the action. Id. Therefore, the Department must suspend liquidation pending the expiration of the period to appeal the CIT’s September 1, 2006, decision or pending a final decision of the CAFC if that decision is appealed. Because entries of ball bearings and parts thereof from France produced by, exported to, or imported into the United States by SKF are currently being suspended pursuant to the court’s injunction order in effect, the Department does not need to order U.S. Customs and Border Protection to VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:37 Sep 21, 2006 Jkt 208001 Dated: September 12, 2006.

The purpose of this project would be to continue long-term monitoring of the status of sea turtles in San Diego Bay, California. Researchers would study the species present at this temperate foraging area to determine their abundance, size ranges, growth, sex ratio, health status, diving behavior, local movements, habitat use, and migration routes. Turtles would be captured using entanglement nets and each animal would be flipper and passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagged, measured, weighed, sexed, PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55431 blood sampled, and tissue sampled. A subset of animals be lavaged and would have transmitters attached to their carapace. A primary goal of the research would be to integrate data from genetic analysis, flipper tagging, and satellite telemetry to identify nesting beach origins of turtles occurring in San Diego Bay and contribute to the overall understanding of sea turtle stock structure in the Pacific Ocean. Researchers would compare current data with those collected in San Diego Bay since 1989 to determine growth rates of juveniles and adults, determine tag retention rates, and examine population abundance trends. Genetic studies based on blood and tissue samples are part of an international collaboration to define stock structure of sea turtles in the Pacific. Up to 50 green, 5 loggerhead, and 5 olive ridley sea turtles would be taken annually. The permit would be issued for 5 years. Dated: September 18, 2006. P.
