any evidence of shipment from a nonselected company before making its
respondent-selection decision.
However, in the sampling context, the
existence of shipments will be required
in order to both define the population,
and if the company is selected, establish
a dumping margin for the company.
Therefore, the Department will normally
use CBP data as evidence of shipment,
and proposes to define the relevant
population from which to sample as (1)
all companies subject to investigation
with shipments of subject merchandise,
and (2) all companies named in a review
with shipments of subject merchandise.
In a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’)
case, the relevant population should not
include companies that are a part of the
NME entity. Since the Department may
not be able to determine a company’s
eligibility for a separate rate before
respondent selection, the Department
proposes to exclude from the relevant
population companies that have not
submitted separate rate applications.
1.3 Sampling Technique
The Department proposes to use
stratified PPS samples. The first step in
the proposed sampling technique is to
sort all companies in the relevant
population from largest to smallest,
based on import volumes. Second,
companies would be segregated into a
number of strata equal to the sample
size, with each stratum accounting for
approximately the same share of import
volume. For example, if the Department
determines that it may individually
examine three respondents, the
companies would be divided into three
strata, each accounting for
approximately a third of imports. Third,
one respondent from each stratum
would be selected using PPS. If a single
company accounts for more than 33
percent or more of imports, that
company would be assigned its own
stratum and the remaining companies
would be divided into two strata
accounting for an equal share of the
remaining imports. Then, one
respondent would be selected from each
of these strata. If two companies each
account for more than 33 percent or
more of imports, each of the two
companies would be assigned its own
stratum and one respondent would be
randomly selected from the remaining
companies.
1.4 Calculating and Assigning Rates
After examination of selected
respondents by the sampling method,
the Department will need to assign a
rate to all non-selected companies. To
do so, the Department proposes to
calculate a ‘‘sample rate,’’ which will be
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:00 Dec 15, 2010
Jkt 223001
an average of all selected respondent
rates, weighted by the import share of
their corresponding strata. In a market
economy case, all companies in the
relevant population who were not
selected for individual examination
would receive the sample rate.
Consistent with the definition of
‘‘relevant population’’ above, in NME
cases, only companies in the relevant
population that qualify for separate rates
would receive the sample rate; those
that do not qualify for separate rates
would receive the NME country-wide
rate.
Request for Comments
In addition to comments on the
methodology described above, the
Department requests comments on the
following issues. First, how should the
Department address the case in which a
selected respondent needs to be
replaced, due to withdrawal or
disqualification for any reason?
Examples of disqualified respondents
include companies in an NME case that
applied for a separate rate but do not
qualify for such a rate, and companies
with shipment of subject merchandize
in CBP data due to misclassification.
Second, how should the Department
treat voluntary respondents in the
sampling context? Finally, how should
the Department treat adverse-factsavailable, de minimis, and zero
antidumping duty rates in its
calculation of the sample rate?

As specified above, to be assured of
consideration, comments must be
received no later than January 31, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting Panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
SEDAR 21 Assessment webinar:
Using datasets recommended from the
Data Workshop, participants will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population
benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
Participants will recommend the most
appropriate methods and configurations
for determining stock status and
estimating population parameters.
