5, 2009; distribution of the document for
public comment is the final step for the
ANSTF to adopt the Protocol.
This Protocol supplements, but does
not replace, other existing Federal
guidelines established to control
activities with specific major classes of
organisms. This document does not
eliminate or in any way affect other
applicable legal requirements, including
the National Environmental Policy Act
[NEPA, 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)].
The Protocol encourages the
incorporation of a Hazard Analysis and
Critical Control Point (HACCP)
approach for prevention planning
within research activities. Information
about the use of HACCP is available at
https://www.seagrant.umn.edu/ais/
haccp. A web site detailing the

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 defer the initiation of administrative
review for one antidumping duty order.
DATES: Effective Date: August 31, 2010
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD

telephone: (202) 482–4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
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 request to defer for one year
the initiation of the July 1, 2009 through
June 30, 2010 administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on Certain
Pasta from Italy with respect to one
exporter in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(c). The Department received no
objections to this request from any party
cited in 19 CFR 351.213(c)(1)(ii).
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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
within 60 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
E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM
31AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 31, 2010 / Notices
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 Web site
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 60 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 Web site at https://
www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register
53275
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 NMEowned 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
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, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Institute of Standards and
Technology administers the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP) under regulations
found in Part 285 of Title 15 of the Code
of Federal Regulations. NVLAP provides
an unbiased third-party evaluation and
recognition of laboratory performance,
as well as expert technical assistance to
upgrade that performance, by
accrediting calibration and testing
laboratories found competent to perform
specific calibrations or tests.
NVLAP is comprised of a set of
Laboratory Accreditation Programs
(LAPs) that are established on the basis
of requests and demonstrated need.
Each LAP includes specific test and/or
calibration standards and related
methods and protocols assembled to
satisfy the unique needs for
accreditation in the field of testing or
calibration.
Under the NVLAP Procedures found
at 15 CFR part 285, the Chief of NVLAP
may terminate a specific Laboratory
Accreditation Program (LAP) when he/
she determines that a need no longer
exists to accredit laboratories for the
services covered under the scope of the
LAP. Pursuant to 15 CFR part 285, the
Chief of NVLAP has determined that a
need no longer exists to accredit
laboratories for the services covered
under the Commercial Products Testing
LAP and that the Commercial Products
Testing LAP will be terminated.
The Commercial Products Testing
LAP includes the following areas of
testing: paints and related coatings,
paper and related products, building
seals and sealants, plastics, plumbing,
roofing, and mattresses. The purpose of
this program is to supply unbiased
PO 00000

third-party evaluation and attestation of
testing competence of manufacturer and
independent testing laboratories in the
given fields.
A review of the Commercial Products
Testing LAP revealed that there are four
(4) laboratories enrolled in the plumbing
area. Two of the plumbing laboratories
are also accredited for plastic and paint
testing in support of plumbing testing.
Three of the four plumbing laboratories
carry redundant accreditation by the
International Accreditation Service
(IAS), an accreditation body recognized
by the International Laboratory
Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), for
plumbing testing, and for plastic and
paint testing for the two laboratories
also accredited in those fields.
Terminating the Commercial Products
Testing LAP will allow those three
laboratories to eliminate the duplicate
accreditations, saving each between
$4,000 and $8,000 per year in fees. All
other areas of testing within the
Commercial Products Testing LAP are
covered by nongovernmental ILACrecognized accrediting bodies within
the United States.
As a result of this review, the Chief of
NVLAP has decided to terminate this
LAP because there is no longer a need
to accredit laboratories for the services
covered under the scope of this LAP.
Effective on September 30, 2010,
NVLAP will no longer grant or renew
accreditations under the terminated
program. A laboratory currently
accredited under the LAP will remain
accredited until the expiration of its
current accreditation unless earlier
termination is requested by the
laboratory.

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 request to defer for one year the
initiation of the July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on Certain Pasta from Italy with
respect to one exporter in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c). The
Department received no objections to this request from any party cited
in 19 CFR 351.213(c)(1)(ii).
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 60 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
[[Page 53275]]
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 Web site 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 60 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 Web site at https://www.trade.gov/ia 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.

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

\3\ 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.
\4\ 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.
\5\ In the initiation notice that published on July 28, 2010 (75
FR 44224), we initiated a review of Tapered Roller Bearings
(``TRB's'') from the PRC (A-570-601) for the company Tianshui Hailin
Import and Export Corporation. On November 14, 2002 (67 FR 68990),
we published a revocation of the order with respect to TRB's
exported by Tianshui Hailin Import and Export Corporation and
produced by Hailin Bearing Factory. This is to clarify that this
administrative review covers TRB's exported by Tianshui Hailin
Import and Export Corporation that were produced by any manufacturer
other than Hailin Bearing Factory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
[[Page 53277]]
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.
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from ware house, for
consumption during the relevant provisional-measures ``gap'' period, of
the order, if such a gap period is applicable to the POR.
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 Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: August 25, 2010.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
