Permit 1523–2R
The National Council of Air and
Stream Improvements (NCASI) is
seeking to renew its permit to annually
take listed salmon while conducting
research in the McKenzie and
Willametterivers in Oregon. The NCASI
is requesting another 5-year permit to
take juvenile UWR Chinook salmon
while studying water quality and
biological conditions in rivers receiving
paper- and pulpmill discharges. The
research will provide information on
existing conditions in the watersheds
and on changes in those conditions over
time, and ultimately on the aquatic
communities’responses to
environmental stressors. The
information will be used in a larger
effort to monitor watershed health,
water quality, and salmon recovery in
the Upper Willamette watershed. The
NCASI proposes to capture (using boat
electrofishers), handle, and release

listed salmon. The NCASI does not
intend to capture adult fish but some
may be in the areas being fished and
will be avoided as much as possible.
While most of the fish would not be
harmed, some juveniles may
unintentionally be killed during the
course of the research.
Permit 1525–3R
The Northwest Fisheries Science
Center (NWFSC) is seeking to renew its
permit to annually take listed salmonids
in the Lower Willamette River, Oregon,
and in the Columbia River from its
mouth up to Bonneville Dam. The
NWFSC is requesting another 5-year
permit to take juvenile SR spring/
summer Chinook salmon, SR fall
Chinook salmon, SR steelhead, UCR
Chinook salmon, UCR steelhead, MCR
steelhead, LCR Chinook salmon, LCR
steelhead, UWRChinook salmon, UWR
steelhead, and CR chum salmon. The
purposes of the study are to (1)
determine contaminant concentrations
in fish, (2) understand contaminant
bioaccumulation injuvenile salmon and
determine site-specific factors leading to
any contamination, (3) analyze the fish
for the presence of physiological
biomarkers, and (4) determine if the fish
exhibit any indicators of exposure to
environmental estrogens. The NWFSC
would collect samples with seines or
high-speed rope trawls and is asking for
authorization to handle juvenile fish
and tointentionally kill some of them for
pathogen assays, biochemical
composition, histopathological
attributes, and stomach content
analyses.
Permit 1318–7M
Permit 1318 currently authorizes the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
(ODFW) to take juvenile UCR Chinook
salmon, UCR steelhead, SR steelhead,
SR fall-run Chinook salmon,SR spring/
summer-run Chinook salmon, SR
sockeye salmon, MCR steelhead, UWR
Chinook salmon, UWR steelhead, LCR
Chinook salmon, LCR coho salmon, LCR
steelhead, CR chum salmon, and OC
coho salmon in streams in the
Willamette and Columbia basins, and on
the Oregon coast. The ODFW is seeking
to modify the permit by adding an
eighth project. The application contains
the following projects: (1) warm water
fish management surveys;
(2)investigations of natural production
of spring Chinook salmon in the
Mohawk basin; (3) genetic
characterization of rainbow trout in the
upper Willamette subbasin; (4) fish
abundance,population status, genetics
and disease surveys in the upper
Willamette subbasin; (5) native trout

surveys for abundance, size
composition, and migration patterns in
the mainstem McKenzieRiver; (6)
resident redband population estimates
in the Deschutes River; (7) resident
redband population estimates in the
Crooked River; and (8) fish population
sampling in the NorthWillamette
Watershed District. The research would
benefit the fish by providing
information on population structure,
abundance, genetics, disease
occurrence, and species interactions.
Thatinformation would be used to direct
management actions to benefit listed
species. Juvenile salmonids would be
collected (using boat electrofishing).
Some fish would be
anesthetized,sampled for length and
weight, allowed to recover from the
anesthesia, and released. Most
salmonids would only be shocked and
allowed to swim away, or be netted and
releasedimmediately. The ODFW does
not intend to kill any of the fish being
captured, but a small number may die
as an unintended result of the activities.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate the applications, associated
documents, and comments submitted to
determine whether the applications
meet the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA and Federal regulations. The
final permit decisions will not be made
until after the end of the 30-day
comment period. NMFS will publish
notice of its final action in the FEDERAL
REGISTER.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This investigation covers 15 programs
and a single producer/exporter, Incheon
Metal Co., Ltd. (Incheon Metal). The
petitioner in this investigation is Korff
Holdings LLC dba Quaker City Castings
(Petitioner).
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation (the POI)
for which we are measuring subsidies is
January 1, 2008, through December 31,
2008, which corresponds to the most
recently completed fiscal year for
Incheon Metal and the government of
Korea (GOK). See 19 CFR 351.204(b) (2).
Case History
On July 6, 2009, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary determination in the
countervailing duty investigation of Ni–
resist piston inserts from Korea. See Ni–
Resist Piston Inserts from the Republic
of Korea: Preliminary Negative
Countervailing Duty Determination, 74
FR 31919 (July 6, 2009) (Preliminary
Determination).
In accordance with section 782(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), from July 30 through August 4,
2009, we conducted verification of the
questionnaire responses submitted by
the GOK and Incheon Metal
(collectively, respondents). We issued
the verification reports on August 14,
2009, and August 21, 2009,
respectively.1
On August 27, 2009, we received a
case brief from Petitioner. On August
31, 2009, we received a case brief from
the GOK. On September 3, 2009 and
September 8, 2009, we received rebuttal
briefs from Incheon Metal and the GOK.
No hearing was requested.
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation
includes all Ni–resist piston inserts
regardless of size, thickness, weight, or
outside diameter. Ni–resist piston
inserts may also be called other names
including, but not limited to, ‘‘Ring
Carriers,’’ or ‘‘Alfin Inserts.’’ Ni–resist
piston inserts are alloyed cast iron rings,
with or without a sheet metal cooling
channel pressed and welded into the
interior of the insert. Ni–resist piston
inserts are composed of the material
known as Ni–resist, of the chemical
composition: 13.5% - 17.5% Ni (nickel),
5.5% - 8.0% Cu (copper), 0.8% - 2.5%
Cr (chromium), 0.5% - 1.5% Mn
(manganese), 1.0% - 3.0% Si (silicon),
2.4% - 3.0% C (carbon). The cast iron
composition is produced primarily to
the material specifications of the
American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM), ASTM A–436 grade
1.
The scope of this investigation does
not include piston rings nor did any
other product manufacture using the
Ni–resist material. The subject imports
are properly classified under
subheading 8409.99.91.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), but have been
imported under HTSUS 7326.90. The
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes. The
written description is dispositive of the
scope of this investigation.
Injury Test
Because Korea is a ‘‘Subsidies
Agreement Country’’ within the
meaning of section 701(b) of the Act, the
International Trade Commission (the
ITC) is required to determine whether
imports of the subject merchandise from
Korea materially injure, or threaten
material injury, to a U.S. industry. On
March 25, 2009, the ITC published its
preliminary determination finding that
there is a reasonable indication that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
from Korea of the subject merchandise.
See Ni–Resist Piston Inserts from
Argentina and Korea, Investigation Nos.
701–TA–460–461 (Preliminary), 74 FR
12898 (March 25, 2009).
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this
investigation are addressed in the
Decision Memorandum. Attached to this
notice as an Appendix is a list of the
issues that parties raised and to which
we have responded in the Decision
Memorandum. Parties can find a
complete discussion of all issues raised
in this investigation and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum, which is on file in
the Department’s Central Records Unit.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Internet at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 705(c) (1)
(B) (i) (I) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as
amended) (the Act), we have calculated
an individual rate for the company
under investigation, Incheon Metal
which is the producer/exporter of the
subject merchandise under
investigation. We determine the total
estimated net countervailable subsidy
rates are as follows:
Net Subsidy Rate
Incheon Metal Co., Ltd ..............................................................................................................................................
All Others ...................................................................................................................................................................
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Producer/Exporter
de minimis percent ad valorem
de minimis percent ad valorem
In the Preliminary Determination, the
total net countervailable subsidy rate
was de minimis and, therefore, we did
not suspend liquidation. Because the
rate for Incheon Metal remains de
minimis, we are not directing U.S.
Customs and Border Patrol to suspend
liquidation of entries of Ni–resist
pistons from Korea.

Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 705(c) (1) (B) (i) (I) of the Tariff Act
of 1930 (as amended) (the Act), we have calculated an individual rate
for the company under investigation, Incheon Metal which is the
producer/exporter of the subject merchandise under investigation. We
determine the total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates are as
follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Producer/Exporter Net Subsidy Rate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incheon Metal Co., Ltd.................... de minimis percent ad
valorem
All Others................................ de minimis percent ad
valorem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Determination, the total net countervailable
subsidy rate was de minimis and, therefore, we did not suspend
liquidation. Because the rate for Incheon Metal remains de minimis, we
are not directing U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to suspend liquidation
of entries of Ni-resist pistons from Korea.
ITC Notification
In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the
ITC of our determination.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information
