SUMMARY: On January 5, 2010, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (the Department’s) results of redetermination pursuant to the CIT’s remand in Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. and Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 04– 00454 (May 5, 2009) (Gerber v. United States Remand Order). This matter arose from a challenge to the Department’s final results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the PRC for the period February 1, 2002, through PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 January 31, 2003. In the remand redetermination, the Department: (1) recalculated the assessment rate for Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. using a rate other than the PRC–wide rate as partial adverse facts available (AFA) with respect to only those sales of subject merchandise made by Gerber during the period of review (POR) which Gerber exported to the United States using the invoices of Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Green Fresh); and (2) recalculated the assessment rate for Green Fresh based on the data it reported, exclusive of the aforementioned transactions, without resorting to facts available or adverse inferences. As there is now a final and conclusive court decision in this case, the Department is amending the final results of the 2002–2003 administrative review of certain preserved mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 9, 2004, the Department published its final results in the antidumping duty administrative review of certain preserved mushrooms from the PRC covering the POR of February 1, 2002, through January 31, 2003 (fourth administrative review). See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Sixth Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review and Final Results and Partial Rescission of the Fourth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 54635 (September 9, 2004) (Final Results). In the Final Results, the Department applied total adverse facts available (AFA) in calculating the cash deposit and assessment rates for respondent Gerber, and partial AFA in calculating the cash deposit and assessment rates for respondent Green Fresh, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Final Results, 69 FR at 54637–54638. The Department found that Gerber and Green Fresh were involved in a business arrangement/scheme, commencing during the period of the prior (third) administrative review, that resulted in the circumvention of the proper payment of cash deposits on certain E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM 06APN1 sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 6, 2010 / Notices POR entries of subject merchandise made by Gerber. As either total or partial AFA, the Department applied the PRC–wide-rate of 198.63 percent to both companies. Gerber and Green Fresh challenged the Department’s resorting to the application of AFA to determine their cash deposit and assessment rates in the Final Results before the CIT. In light of the CIT’s analysis in its decisions in the litigation covering the third administrative review (see Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. and Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 08–97 (September 16, 2008) (Gerber v. United States I), which concerned the same parties and many of the same issues as those in the fourth administrative review, and the factual similarity between the administrative records of the third and fourth administrative reviews, the Government of the United States requested a voluntary remand, which the CIT granted on May 5, 2009. See Gerber v. United States Remand Order. Pursuant to this remand order and consistent with the Court’s analysis in Gerber v. United States I, the Department issued its final results of redetermination on July 24, 2009. See Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, dated July 24, 2009 (Remand Redetermination) (found at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/remands). In this redetermination, the Department recalculated the margin for Gerber using a rate other than the PRC–wide rate as partial AFA with respect to only those sales of subject merchandise made by Gerber during the POR which were exported to the United States using the invoices of Green Fresh. The Department also recalculated the margin for Green Fresh exclusive of the above– mentioned transactions and the application of AFA. See Remand Determination at 1, and 4–7. The CIT affirmed this redetermination on January 5, 2010. See Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. and Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 10–2 (January 5, 2010) at 3. On January 25, 2010, consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F. 2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990), the Department notified the public that the CIT’s decision was not in harmony with the Department’s final results. See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony with Final Results of Administrative Review, 75 FR 3896 (January 25, 2010).

Amended Final Results of Review As the litigation in this case has concluded, we are amending the Final Results to reflect the results of our remand redetermination. Specifically, the Department’s redetermination resulted in changes to the Final Results weighted–average margins for Gerber from 198.63 percent to 22.84 percent, and for Green Fresh from 42.90 percent to 15.83 percent.

ACTION: Notice of initiation of 5–year review; request for information. SUMMARY: NMFS announces a 5–year review of Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). A 5–year review is a periodic process conducted to ensure that the listing classification of a species is accurate. A 5–year review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any such information on Southern Resident killer whales that has become available since their original listing as endangered in November 2005. Based PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17377 on the results of this 5–year review, we will make the requisite finding under the ESA. DATES: To allow us adequate time to conduct this review, we must receive your information no later than July 6, 2010. However, we will continue to accept new information about any listed species at any time. ADDRESSES: Please submit information on Southern Resident killer whales to Lynne Barre, NMFS Northwest Region, 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115. Information may also be submitted via email to orca.plan@noaa.gov. Information received in response to this notice will be available for public inspection by appointment, during normal business hours, at the above address. We will consider all comments and information received during the comment period in preparing a 5–year review. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynne Barre, Northwest Regional Office, 206–526–4745; or Susan Pultz, Office of Protected Resources, 301–713–1401. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the ESA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintains a list of endangered and threatened wildlife and plant species at 50 CFR 17.11 (for animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires that we conduct a review of listed species at least once every five years. On the basis of such reviews under section 4(c)(2)(B), we determine whether or not any species should be removed from the List (delisted), or reclassified from endangered to threatened or from threatened to endangered. Delisting a species must be supported by the best scientific and commercial data available and only considered if such data substantiates that the species is neither endangered nor threatened for one or more of the following reasons: (1) the species is considered extinct; (2) the species is considered to be recovered; and/or (3) the original data available when the species was listed, or the interpretation of such data, were in error. Any change in Federal classification would require a separate rulemaking process. The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing those species currently under active review. This notice announces our active review of the Southern Resident killer whale distinct population segment (DPS) currently listed as endangered (70 FR 69903; November 18, 2005).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 9, 2004, the Department published its final results in 
the antidumping duty administrative review of certain preserved 
mushrooms from the PRC covering the POR of February 1, 2002, through 
January 31, 2003 (fourth administrative review). See Certain Preserved 
Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Sixth 
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review and Final Results and Partial 
Rescission of the Fourth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 
54635 (September 9, 2004) (Final Results).
    In the Final Results, the Department applied total adverse facts 
available (AFA) in calculating the cash deposit and assessment rates 
for respondent Gerber, and partial AFA in calculating the cash deposit 
and assessment rates for respondent Green Fresh, pursuant to sections 
776(a) and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See 
Final Results, 69 FR at 54637-54638. The Department found that Gerber 
and Green Fresh were involved in a business arrangement/scheme, 
commencing during the period of the prior (third) administrative 
review, that resulted in the circumvention of the proper payment of 
cash deposits on certain

POR entries of subject merchandise made by Gerber. As either total or 
partial AFA, the Department applied the PRC-wide-rate of 198.63 percent 
to both companies. Gerber and Green Fresh challenged the Department's 
resorting to the application of AFA to determine their cash deposit and 
assessment rates in the Final Results before the CIT.
    In light of the CIT's analysis in its decisions in the litigation 
covering the third administrative review (see Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., 
Ltd. and Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 
08-97 (September 16, 2008) (Gerber v. United States I), which concerned 
the same parties and many of the same issues as those in the fourth 
administrative review, and the factual similarity between the 
administrative records of the third and fourth administrative reviews, 
the Government of the United States requested a voluntary remand, which 
the CIT granted on May 5, 2009. See Gerber v. United States Remand 
Order. Pursuant to this remand order and consistent with the Court's 
analysis in Gerber v. United States I, the Department issued its final 
results of redetermination on July 24, 2009. See Redetermination 
Pursuant to Court Remand, dated July 24, 2009 (Remand Redetermination) 
(found at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/remands). In this redetermination, the 
Department recalculated the margin for Gerber using a rate other than 
the PRC-wide rate as partial AFA with respect to only those sales of 
subject merchandise made by Gerber during the POR which were exported 
to the United States using the invoices of Green Fresh. The Department 
also recalculated the margin for Green Fresh exclusive of the above-
mentioned transactions and the application of AFA. See Remand 
Determination at 1, and 4-7. The CIT affirmed this redetermination on 
January 5, 2010. See Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. and Green Fresh 
(Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 10-2 (January 5, 2010) 
at 3.
    On January 25, 2010, consistent with the decision of the United 
States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Timken Co. v. United 
States, 893 F. 2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990), the Department notified the 
public that the CIT's decision was not in harmony with the Department's 
final results. See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's 
Republic of China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony with Final 
Results of Administrative Review, 75 FR 3896 (January 25, 2010). No 
party appealed the CIT's decision. Because there is now a final and 
conclusive court decision in this case, the Department is amending the 
Final Results.

Amended Final Results of Review

    As the litigation in this case has concluded, we are amending the 
Final Results to reflect the results of our remand redetermination. 
Specifically, the Department's redetermination resulted in changes to 
the Final Results weighted-average margins for Gerber from 198.63 
percent to 22.84 percent, and for Green Fresh from 42.90 percent to 
15.83 percent.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on POR entries of the subject 
merchandise from Gerber and Green Fresh based on the revised assessment 
rates calculated by the Department. We intend to issue the assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these 
amended final results of review.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
