Download as PDF 5764 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 23 / Thursday, February 4, 2010 / Notices examined during the investigation. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), LXFI also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the central government of the PRC. In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), LXFI submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) the date on which LXFI first shipped subject merchandise for export to the United States and; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. When the sale of the subject merchandise occurs within the POR specified by the Department’s regulations but the entry occurs after the POR, the specified POR may be extended unless it would be likely to prevent the completion of the review within the time limits set by the Department’s regulations. See 19 CFR 351.214(f)(2)(ii). Additionally, the preamble to the Department’s regulations states that both the entry and the sale should occur during the POR, and that under ‘‘appropriate’’ circumstances the Department has the flexibility to extend the POR. See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27319– 27320 (May 19, 1997). For purposes of initiation, Department accepts the contract dated within the POR as evidence that LXFI had a sale to the United States during the POR. However, the Department will consider further the proper date of sale in the context of this new shipper review and whether that sale occurred during the POR. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Initiation of New Shipper Reviews Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we find that the request submitted by LXFI meets the threshold requirements for initiation of a new shipper review for shipments of apple juice from the PRC produced and exported by LXFI. See ‘‘Memorandum to the File Through Alex Villanueva, Project Manager, New Shipper Initiation Checklist: Certain Non–Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate From the PRC (A–570–855),’’ dated concurrently with this notice. The POR is June 01, 2009, through November 30, 2009. See 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and the final results no later than 270 days from the date of initiation. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:31 Feb 03, 2010 Jkt 220001 It is the Department’s usual practice, in cases involving non–market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country–wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. Accordingly, we will issue questionnaires to LXFI, which will include a section requesting information with regard to LXFI’s export activities for separate rates purposes. The review will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that LXFI is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its export of subject merchandise. We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from LXFI in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because LXFI certified that it both produced and exported the subject merchandise, the sale of which is the basis for this new shipper review request, we will apply the bonding privilege to LXFI only for subject merchandise which LXFI both produced and exported. Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306. This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). Dated: January 29, 2010. John M.

SUMMARY: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) publishes this notice to describe how it will administer the approximately 3 percent of funding that remains from the original allocation provided to NMFS under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These funds were set aside specifically to manage and mitigate risks to the original habitat restoration investments and ensure program goals are achieved. NMFS is only accepting requests for supplemental funding from existing ARRA grantees that were awarded funds as a result of the original competition. There is the possibility that NMFS may also fund additional projects selected from the ranked list of previously reviewed proposals that was provided to the Selecting Official as part of the original competition.

These projects were selected on a competitive basis from among 814 eligible applications submitted in response to a Federal Register Notice published March 6, 2009 (74 FR 9793). Approximately 3 percent of the funding originally allocated to NMFS was held in reserve to manage and mitigate risks to these habitat restoration investments and ensure program goals for economic and ecological value are achieved. NMFS intends to award these remaining funds to its existing ARRA grantees pursuant to the priorities below and potentially to additional projects selected from the ranked list of PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5765 previously reviewed proposals. No other new applications will be accepted. Requests for supplemental funding will be considered on a case-by-case basis, based on bona fide need and priorities listed herein, and not in the order in which requests are received.

Funding Availability To meet ARRA and agency goals for accountability and risk management, approximately 3 percent of the original ARRA allocation for habitat restoration was set aside to serve as a risk margin for unforeseen changes to technical, financial, or scheduling aspects of funded restoration projects. Remaining funds will be made available primarily to existing recipients of NOAA ARRA Habitat Restoration project awards. NOAA does not guarantee that sufficient funds will be available to make awards for all supplemental requests. Publication of this document does not obligate NOAA to award funds for any specific project or to obligate all or any parts of any available funds.

Background

    The antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC was published in

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Order; Honey from the People's Republic of China, 66 FR 63670 (December

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), the Department finds that Suzhou Shanding and Wuhu 
Fenglian meet the threshold requirements for initiation of a NSR for 
the shipment of honey from the PRC they produced and exported. See 
``Memorandum to File through James C. Doyle, Director, Office 9 from 
Catherine Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9; Re: Honey from the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of AD New Shipper Review for 
Suzhou Shanding Honey Product Co., Ltd.'' dated January 31, 2010 and 
``Memorandum to File through James C. Doyle, Director, Office 9 from 
Catherine Bertrand, Program Manager, Office 9; Re: Honey from the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of AD New Shipper Review for 
Wuhu Fenglian Co., Ltd.,'' dated January 31, 2010.
    The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of these 
NSRs no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and final 
results no later than 270 days from the date of initiation. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    Because both Suzhou Shanding and Wuhu Fenglian certified that they 
produced and exported subject merchandise, the sales of which form the 
basis for their respective requests for a new shipper review, we will 
instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer until the 
completion of the reviews, the posting of a bond or security in lieu of 
a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise produced and 
exported by Suzhou Shanding and produced and exported by Wuhu Fenglian 
in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(e). The bonding privilege will apply only to subject 
merchandise produced and exported by Suzhou Shanding and subject 
merchandise produced and exported by Wuhu Fenglian.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative 
protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This 
initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
