NSF-funded research by U.S. academic
scientists. NMFS agreed to be a
cooperating agency in the preparation of
the EIS/OEIS. This EIS/OEIS has not
been completed.
Therefore, in order to meet NSF’s and
NMFS’ NEPA requirements for the
proposed activity and issuance of an
IHA to L-DEO, the NSF has prepared an
EA that is specific to the marine
geophysical survey conducted by the R/
V Marcus G. Langseth in the northeast
Pacific Ocean. NSF’s EA, titled, Marine
Seismic Survey in the Northeast Pacific
Ocean, August/September, 2009 is
based, in part, on an environmental
assessment report (hereinafter, Report),
prepared by LGL Limited environmental
research associates (LGL) on behalf of
NSF, titled, ‘‘Environmental Assessment
of a Marine Geophysical Survey by the
R/V Marcus G. Langseth in the
Northeast Pacific Ocean, August
September, 2009.’’ The EA, and Report,
specifically analyze the fact that L-DEO
intends to obtain an IHA from NMFS in
order to conduct the seismic survey.
The EA evaluates the impacts of
potential incidental Level B harassment
resulting from the specified activity in
the specified geographic region. The
NSF has made a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI)
determination based on information
contained within its EA and Report, that
implementation of the proposed action
is not a major Federal action having
significant effects on the environment
within the meaning of NEPA. NSF
determined, therefore, that an
environmental impact statement would
not be prepared.
On May 8, 2009 (74 FR 2163), NMFS
noted that the NSF had prepared an EA
for the northeast Pacific Ocean surveys
and made this EA, and the Report,
available upon request. NMFS has
independently reviewed the information
contained in NSF’s EA and determined
that the NSF EA describes the proposed
action alternative and evaluates and
discloses the potential impacts on
marine mammals, endangered species,
and other marine life that could be
impacted by the preferred alternative
and the other alternatives. Accordingly,
NMFS has adopted the NSF EA, and
incorporated Report, under 40 CFR
1506.3 and made its own FONSI. The
NMFS FONSI also takes into
consideration additional mitigation
measures required by the IHA that are
not in NSF’s EA or Report. Therefore,
NMFS has determined that it is not
necessary to issue a new EA,
supplemental EA or an EIS for the
issuance of an IHA to L-DEO for this
activity. A copy of the EA and the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
NMFS FONSI for this activity is
available upon request (see ADDRESSES).
Determinations
NMFS has determined that the impact
of conducting the seismic survey in the
northeast Pacific Ocean may result, at
worst, in a temporary modification in
behavior (Level B harassment) of small
numbers of 33 species of cetaceans.
Though NMFS believes that take of the
requested numbers is unlikely, we still
find these numbers small relative to the
population sizes. Further, this activity is
not expected to adversely affect any
species or stock through affects on
annual recruitment or survival.
Therefore, NMFS has determined that
the activity will have a negligible
impact on the affected species or stocks.
The provision requiring that the
activity not have an unmitigable adverse
impact on the availability of the affected
species or stock for subsistence uses is
not implicated for this proposed action.
There is no subsistence harvest of
marine mammals in the proposed
research area; therefore, there will be no
impact of the activity on the availability
of the species or stocks of marine
mammals for subsistence uses.
The negligible impact determination
is supported by: (1) the likelihood that,
given sufficient warning through
relatively slow ship speed, marine
mammals are expected to move away
from a noise source that is annoying
prior to it becoming potentially
injurious; (2) the fact that marine
mammals would have to be closer than
40 m (131 ft) in deep water, when a
single airgun is in use from the vessel
to be exposed to levels of sound (180
dB) believed to have even a minimal
chance of causing TTS; (3) the fact that
marine mammals would have to be
closer than 950 m (0.5 nm) in deep
water, when the full array is in use at
a 9–15 m (29.5–49.2 ft) tow depth from
the vessel to be exposed to levels of
sound (180 dB) believed to have even a
minimal chance of causing TTS; (4) the
likelihood that marine mammal
detection ability by trained observers is
good at those distances from the vessel;
(5) the use of PAM, which is effective
out to tens of km, will assist in the
detection of vocalizing marine mammals
at greater distances from the vessel; (6)
the incorporation of other required
mitigation measures (i.e., ramp-up,
power-down, and shutdown); and (7)
the limited duration of the seismic
survey in the study area (approximately
39 days). As a result, no take by injury
or death is anticipated, and the potential
for temporary or permanent hearing
impairment is very low and will be
avoided through the incorporation of
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42873
the required monitoring and mitigation
measures.
While the number of potential
incidental harassment takes will depend
on the distribution and abundance of
marine mammals in the vicinity of the
survey activity, the number of potential
harassment takings is estimated to be
small, relative to the affected species
and stock sizes, and has been mitigated
to the lowest level practicable through
incorporation of the measures
mentioned previously in this document.
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to L-DEO for
conducting a marine geophysical survey
in the northeast Pacific Ocean in August
October, 2009, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) has received
requests to conduct administrative
reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings
with July anniversary dates. In
accordance with the Department’s
regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews. The Department
also received a request to revoke one
antidumping duty order in part.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing

duty orders and findings with July
anniversary dates. The Department also
received a timely request to revoke in
part the antidumping duty order on
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
India with respect to one producer/
exporter.
Separate Rates
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews,
the Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within five days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 20 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice.
The Department invites comments
regarding the CBP data and respondent
selection within 10 calendar days of
In proceedings involving non–market
economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government
control and, thus, should be assigned a
single antidumping duty deposit rate. It
is the Department’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, the Department analyzes each
entity exporting the subject
merchandise under a test arising from
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585
(May 2,1994). In accordance with the
separate–rates criteria, the Department
assigns separate rates to companies in
NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure
and de facto government control over
export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate–rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate–rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate–rate
eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was
requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this
proceeding in which they participated,
to certify that they continue to meet the
criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department’s website at
https://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register. In
responding to the certification, please
follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
1 Such entities include entities that have not
participated in the proceeding, entities that were
preliminarily granted a separate rate in any
currently incomplete segment of the proceedings
(e.g., an ongoing administrative review, new
shipper review, etc.) and entities that lost their
separate rate in the most recently complete segment
of the proceeding in which they participated.
2 Only changes to the official company name,
rather than trade names, need to be addressed via
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind a review where
there are no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the
respective period of review (‘‘POR’’)
listed below. If a producer or exporter
named in this initiation notice had no
exports, sales, or entries during the
POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. The
Department will consider rescinding the
review only if the producer or exporter,
as appropriate, submits a properly filed
and timely statement certifying that it
had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
All submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and
are subject to verification in accordance
with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Six
copies of the submission should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20230. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on every party on the Department’s
service list.

Entities that currently do not have a
separate rate from a completed segment
of the proceeding 1 should timely file a
Separate Rate Application to
demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. In addition,
companies that received a separate rate
in a completed segment of the
proceeding that have subsequently
made changes, including, but not
limited to, changes to corporate
structure, acquisitions of new
companies or facilities, or changes to
their official company name,2 should
timely file a Separate Rate Application
to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. The Separate
Rate Application will be available on
the Department’s website at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme–sep-rate.html
on the date of publication of this
Federal Register notice. In responding
to the Separate Rate Status Application,

for submitting a Separate Rate Status
Application applies equally to NME–
owned firms, wholly foreign–owned
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase
and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
For exporters and producers who
submit a separate–rate status
application or certification and
subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and
producers will no longer be eligible for
separate–rate status unless they respond
to all parts of the questionnaire as
mandatory respondents.
Initiation of Reviews

3 On April 7, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative reviews for the orders covering certain frozen warmwater
shrimp (shrimp) from Brazil, India, and Thailand. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, India and Thailand: Notice of Initiation of
Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 15699 (April 7, 2009). This notice should have also indicated that the Department received a timely request to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order on shrimp from India with respect to Devi Sea Foods Limited, an exporter and producer of shrimp from
India.

(‘‘SSSSC’’) from Taiwan with respect to Tung Mung Development Co., Ltd. (‘‘Tung Mung’’) (as to subject merchandise as set forth in Notice of
Amended Final Determination in Accordance With Court Decision of the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in
Coils From Taiwan, 69 FR 67311 (Nov. 17, 2004)). SSSSC produced and exported by Tung Mung was excluded from this order effective October 16, 2002. Id. However, exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung and exported to the United States by Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Ta Chen’’) remain subject to the order, and thus this administrative review covers exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung in Taiwan and
exported to the United States by Ta Chen.
5 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe
from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the
single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.
6 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Persulfates from the PRC who have not
qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.
7 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Saccahrin from the PRC who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with July anniversary dates. In
accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews. The Department also received a request to
revoke one antidumping duty order in part.
DATES: Effective Date: August 25, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Unit, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing
[[Page 42874]]
duty orders and findings with July anniversary dates. The Department
also received a timely request to revoke in part the antidumping duty
order on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India with respect to one
producer/exporter.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review
where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review (``POR'') listed below. If a
producer or exporter named in this initiation notice had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer
or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely
statement certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR. All submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and are subject to verification in
accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(``the Act''). Six copies of the submission should be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. Further, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy of each request must be served on
every party on the Department's service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') to
all parties having an APO within five days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 20 days of publication of this Federal Register
notice.
The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within 10 calendar days of publication of this
Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to
an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to
be entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a
separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the
subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2,1994). In accordance
with the separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns separate rates
to companies in NME cases only if respondents can demonstrate the
absence of both de jure and de facto government control over export
activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department's website at https://www.trade.gov/ia on the
date of publication of this Federal Register. In responding to the
certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department no later than 30 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned
firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \1\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\2\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on the
Department's website at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on
the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding
to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the instructions
contained in the application. Separate Rate Status Applications are due
to the Department no later than 60 calendar days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a
Separate Rate Status Application applies equally to NME-owned firms,
wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceedings (e.g.,
an ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently complete
segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\2\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For exporters and producers who submit a separate-rate status
application or certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible
for separate-rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings. We intend to issue the final results of these
reviews not later than July 31, 2010.

\3\ On April 7, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of
administrative reviews for the orders covering certain frozen
warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from Brazil, India, and Thailand. See
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, India and Thailand:
Notice of Initiation of Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 15699 (April 7,
2009). This notice should have also indicated that the Department
received a timely request to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty
order on shrimp from India with respect to Devi Sea Foods Limited, an
exporter and producer of shrimp from India.
\4\ The Department received a request for an administrative review of
the antidumping order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils
(``SSSSC'') from Taiwan with respect to Tung Mung Development Co.,
Ltd. (``Tung Mung'') (as to subject merchandise as set forth in Notice
of Amended Final Determination in Accordance With Court Decision of
the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip
in Coils From Taiwan, 69 FR 67311 (Nov. 17, 2004)). SSSSC produced and
exported by Tung Mung was excluded from this order effective October
16, 2002. Id. However, exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung and
exported to the United States by Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd.
(``Ta Chen'') remain subject to the order, and thus this
administrative review covers exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung in
Taiwan and exported to the United States by Ta Chen.
\5\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') who have not qualified
for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of
the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.
\6\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Persulfates from the PRC who have not
qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review
as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a
part.
\7\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Saccahrin from the PRC who have not
qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review
as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a
part.
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine,
consistent with FAG Italia v.United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by
an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject
merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is
affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the
name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.On
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO
Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 22, 2008). Those procedures apply to
administrative reviews included in this notice of initiation. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these administrative reviews should
ensure that they meet the requirements of these procedures (e.g., the
filing of separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR
351.103(d)).
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 USC 1675(a)) and 19
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
