Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 180 / Friday, September 17, 2010 / Notices DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service [Docket No. APHIS-2010-0058] Notice of Decision To Issue Permits for the Importation of Sweet Limes From Mexico Into the Continental United States Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: We are advising the public of our decision to begin issuing permits for the importation into the continental United States of sweet limes from Mexico. Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, which we made available to the public for review and comment through a previous notice, we believe that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of sweet limes from Mexico. EFFECTIVE DATE: September 17, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Lamb, Import Specialist, Regulatory Coordination and Compliance, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 133, Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 734-0627. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 Background Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart— Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56-1 through 319.56-50, referred to below as the regulations), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits or restricts the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world to prevent plant pests from being introduced into and spreading within the United States. Under that process, APHIS may publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the availability of a pest risk analysis that evaluates the risks associated with the importation of a particular fruit or vegetable. Following the close of the 60day comment period, APHIS may begin issuing permits for importation of the fruit or vegetable subject to the riskmitigation measures identified in the pest risk analysis if: (1) No comments were received on the pest risk analysis; (2) the comments on the pest risk analysis revealed that no changes to the pest risk analysis were necessary; or (3) changes to the pest risk analysis were made in response to public comments, VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:46 Sep 16, 2010 Jkt 220001 but the changes did not affect the overall conclusions of the analysis and the Administrator’s determination of risk. In accordance with that process, we published a notice1 in the Federal Register on June 10, 2010 (75 FR 3290032901, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0058), in which we announced the availability, for review and comment, of a pest risk analysis evaluating the risks associated with the importation into the continental United States of sweet limes from Mexico. We solicited comments on the notice for 60 days ending on August 9, 2010. We received one comment by that date, from a State agricultural agency. The commenter concurred with the findings of our pest risk analysis. Therefore, in accordance with the regulations in § 319.56-4(c)(2)(ii), we are announcing our decision to begin issuing permits for the importation into the continental United States of sweet limes from Mexico provided that: ∑ The sweet limes may be imported into the United States in commercial consignments only. ∑ The sweet limes must be irradiated in accordance with 7 CFR part 305 with a minimum absorbed dose of 150 Gy. ∑ Each shipment of sweet limes must be inspected by the Mexican national plant protection organization and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate attesting that the fruit received the required irradiation treatment and bearing an additional declaration that states that the fruit was inspected in the packinghouse and found free of Brevipalpus californicus, B. phoenicus, Diaphorina citri, and Coniothecium scabrum. These conditions will be listed in the Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements database (available at (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/favir)). In addition to these specific measures, sweet limes from Mexico will be subject to the general requirements listed in § 319.56-3 that are applicable to the importation of all fruits and vegetables. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450, 7701-7772, and 7781-7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3. Done in Washington, DC, this 13th day of September 2010.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Precanvass Operation for the 2012 Economic Census Commodity Flow Survey. OMB Control Number: 0607–0921. Form Number(s): CFS–0001(2012). Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change of an expired collection. Burden Hours: 8,333. Number of Respondents: 100,000. Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau plans to conduct the 2012 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) as a part of the quinquennial Economic Census. In advance of the 2012 CFS, we will conduct a Precanvass (Advance Mailing), which is the subject of this request. The information collected in the 2012 CFS Precanvass will be used to improve the 2012 CFS universe and sampling quality and efficiency, and provide contact information for the selected establishments, reducing the cost and improving the timeliness of data collection for the 2012 CFS. The CFS, a component of the Economic Census, is the only comprehensive source of multi-modal, system-wide data on the volume and pattern of goods movement in the United States. The CFS is conducted in partnership with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), Research and Innovative Technologies (RITA), U.S. Department of Transportation. The 2012 CFS will be the subject of a separate Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance submission in the Spring of 2011. The 2012 CFS Precanvass will be mailed to auxiliary establishments, and establishments expected to be selected with certainty in the 2012 CFS. It will also include selected small establishments from industries with a high incidence of non-shipping locations. All information collected in the Precanvass will be used internally to improve the 2012 CFS universe and mail-out processing. Each establishment in the Precanvass is asked to verify shipping activity for that particular physical location.

The identification and elimination of the non-shippers will produce a more efficient 2012 CFS sample. Each confirmed shipper is asked to indicate its level of shipping activity. The value of shipments measure is used in the stratification and allocation for CFS sampling. Each shipper is asked to verify address and contact information, allowing us to update our mailing records for the 2012 CFS. Because the CFS requests a sample of outbound shipments and their characteristics, the questionnaire must be completed by someone with access to the establishment’s transportation records, unlike many other economic surveys which are directed to accounting departments. By ensuring the direct delivery of the 2012 CFS questionnaire to the correct contact, we will be able to improve the quality and level of response in the CFS.

SUMMARY: Notice of amended antidumping duty orders. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Holly Phelps (Taiwan), AD/CVD Operations, Office 2, or Karine Gziryan (PRC), AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0656 and (202) 482–4081, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On September 1, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty orders on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge (narrow woven ribbons) from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). See Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 53632 (September 1, 2010) (Antidumping Duty Orders). During the investigation involving narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan, we determined that a certain Taiwan unaffiliated supplier was not a producer of subject merchandise. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value: Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from Taiwan, 75 FR 41804 (July 19, 2010) (Taiwan Final Determination). The name of this supplier was disclosed as Hong Sin Co., Ltd. (Hong Sin) by respondent Dear Year Brothers Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Dear Year), and as Hon Xin Co., Ltd. (Hon Xin) by respondent Shienq Huong Enterprise Co., Ltd./Hsien Chan Enterprise Co., Ltd./Novelty Handicrafts Co., Ltd. (collectively, Shienq Huong). See the respondents’ submissions dated August 24, 2010. Information on the record of this investigation establishes that Hong Sin and Hon Xin both refer to the same Taiwan company. In the Taiwan Final Determination, we excluded certain producer/exporter combinations from any order resulting from the investigation because these unaffiliated suppliers had margins of PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 zero in the less-than-fair-value investigation. However, because Hong Sin and Hon Xin both refer to the same unaffiliated supplier and we determined that this company was not a producer of subject merchandise, neither Hong Sin nor Hon Xin should have been excluded from the antidumping duty order on narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan. Yet, Hon Xin was inadvertently included as part of a Shienq Huong producer/exporter combination excluded from the antidumping duty order. See Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR at 53633. We are amending the antidumping duty order to accurately reflect our final determination by removing Hon Xin Co., Ltd./Shienq Huong from the list of producer/ exporter combinations excluded from the order. In addition, the Antidumping Duty Orders stated that, for the PRC separate rate respondents, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to require an antidumping duty cash deposit or the posting of a bond for each entry equal to the determined margin. However, we will be instructing CBP to only require a cash deposit, not the posting of a bond. Finally, in the Antidumping Duty Orders, the Department stated that it will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation for entries of narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan and the PRC entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to August 25, 2010. See Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR at 53634. However, the International Trade Commission’s (ITC) final determination was published on September 1, 2010. See Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge From China and Taiwan, 75 FR 53711 (September 1, 2010). Therefore, pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation for entries of narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan and the PRC entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to September 1, 2010, and refund any cash deposits made and release any bonds posted between the publication of the Department’s preliminary determinations on February 18, 2010, and the publication of the ITC’s final determination. Scope of the Orders The scope of the orders covers narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge, in any length, but with a width (measured at the narrowest span of the ribbon) less than or equal to 12 centimeters, E:\FR\FM\17SEN1.SGM 17SEN1
