Assessment Rate
Upon completion of the final results
of this administrative review, the
Department shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), the Department will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates for each respondent based on the
ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of those sales.
Where the respondent did not report the
entered value for U.S. sales, we have
calculated importer-specific assessment
rates for the merchandise in question by
aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer and dividing this amount by
the total quantity of those sales. To
determine whether the duty assessment
rates were de minimis, in accordance
with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importerspecific ad valorem rates based on the
estimated entered value. Where the
assessment rate is above de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to assess duties on all
entries of subject merchandise by that
importer. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent). The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the final results of this review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by the respondents subject to
this review for which the reviewed
companies did not know that the
merchandise which it sold to an
intermediary (e.g. a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediary
involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion of this clarification, see id.
Cash Deposit Requirements
To calculate the cash deposit rate for
Navneet, we divided its total dumping
margin by the total net value of its sales
during the review period. For the
responsive companies which were not
selected for individual review, we have
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:24 Oct 20, 2010
Jkt 223001
calculated a cash deposit rate based on
the simple average of the cash deposit
rates calculated for the companies
selected for individual review. In this
instance, there is only one non-AFA rate
which we applied.
The following deposit rates will be
effective upon publication of the final
results of this administrative review for
all shipments of CLPP from India
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for companies subject to
this review will be the rate established
in the final results of this review, except
if the rate is less than 0.5 percent and,
therefore, de minimis, no cash deposit
will be required; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent final
results for a review in which that
manufacturer or exporter participated;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent final
results for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this or any previous review
conducted by the Department, the cash
deposit rate will be 3.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation. See Lined Paper Orders.4
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
These preliminary results of
administrative review are issued and

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Background
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA (16
U.S.C. 1371(a)(5)(D)) directs the
Secretary of Commerce to authorize,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals of a species or
population stock, by United States
citizens who engage in a specified
activity (other than commercial fishing)
within a specified geographical region if
certain findings are made and, if the
taking is limited to harassment, a notice
of a proposed authorization is provided
to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental taking of
small numbers of marine mammals shall
be granted if NMFS finds that the taking
will have a negligible impact on the
species or stock(s), and will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses. The authorization
must set forth the permissible methods
of taking, other means of effecting the
least practicable adverse impact on the
species or stock and its habitat, and
monitoring and reporting of such
takings. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘* * * an
impact resulting from the specified
activity that cannot be reasonably
expected to, and is not reasonably likely
to, adversely affect the species or stock
through effects on annual rates of
recruitment or survival.’’
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
established an expedited process by
which citizens of the United States can
apply for an authorization to
incidentally take small numbers of
marine mammals by harassment.
Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
establishes a 45-day time limit for
NMFS’ review of an application
followed by a 30-day public notice and
comment period on any proposed
authorizations for the incidental
harassment of small numbers of marine
mammals. Within 45 days of the close
of the public comment period, NMFS
must either issue or deny the
authorization.
Except with respect to certain
activities not pertinent here, the MMPA
defines ‘‘harassment’’ as:

Introduction
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law 104-297, provided for the
establishment of Advisory Panels to assist in the collection and
evaluation of information relevant to the development of any Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) or FMP amendment. The HMS AP has consulted with
NMFS on the HMS FMP (April 1999), Amendment 1 to the Billfish FMP
(April 1999), Amendment 1 to the HMS FMP (November 2003), the
Consolidated HMS FMP (July 2006), and Amendments 1, 2, and 3 to the
Consolidated HMS FMP (April 2008, September 2008, and February 2009,
respectively).
Procedures and Guidelines
A. Nomination Procedures for Appointments to the Advisory Panel

3. A written commitment that the applicant or nominee shall
actively participate in good faith in the meetings and tasks of the HMS
AP; and
4. A list of outreach resources that the applicant has at his/her
disposal to communicate HMS issues to various interest groups.
Tenure for the HMS AP
Member tenure will be for 3 years (36 months), with approximately
one-third of the members' terms expiring on December 31 of each year.
Nominations are sought for terms beginning January 2011 and expiring
December 2013.
B. Participants
Nominations for the HMS AP will be accepted to allow representation
from commercial and recreational fishing interests, the scientific

Each sector must be adequately represented, and the intent is to
have a group that, as a whole, reflects an appropriate and equitable
balance and mix of interests given the responsibilities of the HMS AP.
Criteria for membership include one or more of the following: (1)
Experience in the HMS recreational fishing industry; (2) experience in
the HMS commercial fishing industry; (3) experience in fishery-related
industries (e.g., marinas, bait and tackle shops); (4) experience in
the scientific community working with HMS; and/or (5) representation of
a private, non-governmental, regional, national, or international
organization representing marine fisheries; or environmental,
governmental, or academic interests dealing with HMS.
Five additional members on the HMS AP include one member
representing each of the following Councils: New England Fishery
Management Council, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, the
South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council, and the Caribbean Fishery Management Council. The
HMS AP also includes 22 ex-officio participants: 20 representatives of
the coastal states and two representatives of the interstate
commissions (the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and the
Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission).
NMFS will provide the necessary administrative support, including
technical assistance, for the HMS AP. However, NMFS will not compensate
participants with monetary support of any kind. Depending on
availability of funds, members may be reimbursed for travel costs
related to the HMS AP meetings.
C. Meeting Schedule
Meetings of the HMS AP will be held as frequently as necessary but
are routinely held twice each year in the spring and fall. The meetings
may be held in conjunction with public hearings.
Dated: October 15, 2010.
