Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 13354 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 48 / Friday, March 11, 2011 / Notices process for developing or updating a strategic plan includes consultation with Congress and other interested and potentially affected parties. The structure of the draft strategic plan has changed from that of the previous plan, and incorporates the structure of the Department’s new balanced scorecard. A balanced scorecard ‘‘balances’’ or equally emphasizes programmatic and management objectives, and contains measures that are tracked by senior leaders to support their day-to-day management activities. During the spring of 2010, Secretary Locke engaged with a broad cross-section of the Department’s senior leadership to develop a balanced scorecard to deploy and execute this Strategic Plan. The Secretary directed a balanced scorecard approach to establish and maintain focus on the Department’s top priorities, to institutionalize quarterly data-driven reviews with heads of operating units to monitor and ensure attainment of these priorities, and to emphasize that Customer Service, Organizational Excellence, and Workforce Excellence are prerequisites to the short and longterm achievement of the Department’s programmatic goals. The balanced scorecard approach monitors the Department’s internal management processes and focuses its operating programs on priorities. This approach recognizes that follow-up and follow-through are critical to both the short and long-term success and sustainability of high-performing programs. The Department’s balanced scorecard and Strategic Plan are structured around three programmatic themes (Economic Growth, Science and Information, and Environmental Stewardship) and three management themes (Customer Service, Organizational Excellence, and Workforce Excellence). The Economic Growth theme is further subdivided into three goals (Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Market Development and Commercialization, and Trade Promotion and Compliance). These themes and goals are further subdivided into 27 strategic objectives, which frame all of the Department’s programs and supporting activities. Each objective narrative addresses the Department’s strategies to achieve the objective, key challenges, external factors, contributing programs, and program evaluations. Narratives for the 18 programmatic objectives also include performance measures (i.e., GPRA measures) for tracking attainment. The Department’s Strategic Plan is implemented on an annual basis through the Annual Performance Plan VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:08 Mar 10, 2011 Jkt 223001 for each operating unit. Results are published in the Department’s annual Performance and Accountability Report. Copies of the Department’s Annual Performance Plans and Performance and Accountability Reports are posted at https://www.osec.doc.gov/bmi/budget/. Dated: March 4, 2011.

SUMMARY: On March 1, 2011, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (the Department’s) results of redetermination as applied to PSC VSMPO–AVISMA Corporation (VSMPO–AVISMA) pursuant to the CIT’s remand order in PSC VSMPO– Avisma Corp. v. United States, 724 F. Supp. 2d 1308 (CIT 2010) (AVISMA II). The Department is notifying the public that the final CIT judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department’s final determination and is amending the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on magnesium metal from the Russian Federation covering the period of review April 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007 with respect to VSMPO–AVISMA. DATES: Effective Date: March 11, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dmitry Vladimirov or Minoo Hatten, AD/CVD Operations, Office 5, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0665 or (202) 482– 1690, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On September 10, 2008, the Department published the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on magnesium metal from the Russian Federation for the period of review (POR) April 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007. See Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 52642 (September 10, 2008) (Final Results). In the Final Results the Department determined that it was appropriate to treat raw magnesium and chlorine gas as coproducts and employed a net-realizablevalue (NRV) analysis to allocate joint costs incurred up to the split-off point where raw magnesium and chlorine gas PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13355 become separately identifiable products. The CIT remanded the Final Results to the Department to take into account an affidavit from Dr. George Foster, an accounting professor (the Foster Affidavit), when considering the best methodology for calculating the NRV for the chlorine gas.1 See PSC VSMPO– AVISMA Corp. v. United States, 31 I.T.R.D. 2235 (CIT 2009) (AVISMA I). In accordance with the CIT’s order in AVISMA I, the Department admitted the Foster Affidavit into the record, considered the arguments of Dr. Foster upon remand, and, as a result of that consideration, determined not to recalculate the dumping margin for VSMPO–AVISMA upon concluding that Dr. Foster’s proposed methodology was not appropriate to use in this case. See Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Remand, dated March 30, 2010 (First Remand) (available at https:// ia.ita.doc.gov/remands). As a result, in the First Remand the Department adhered to the same allocation methodology it used in the Final Results. In AVISMA II, the CIT remanded the Final Results again, instructing the Department to consider VSMPO– AVISMA’s entire production process, including titanium production, in allocating joint costs to the subject merchandise. The CIT found the Department’s cost-allocation methodology in the Final Results to be unsupported by substantial record evidence and not in accordance with section 773(e)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See AVISMA II, 724 F. Supp. 2d at 1313–16. In accordance with the CIT’s order in AVISMA II, and under respectful protest, the Department reexamined its calculation methodology to take VSMPO–AVISMA’s entire production process into account, including the stages of production encompassing and following ilmenite catalyzation, and, based on that examination, the Department recalculated the weightedaverage dumping margin for VSMPO– AVISMA. See Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Remand, dated November 22, 2010 (Second Remand) (available at https:// ia.ita.doc.gov/remands). As a result of the Department’s recalculations, the weighted-average dumping margin for the period April 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007, for magnesium metal from the Russian Federation is 8.51 percent for VSMPO–AVISMA. The CIT sustained 1 VSMPO–AVISMA submitted the Foster Affidavit as part of its administrative case brief, dated June 11, 2008, which the Department rejected as untimely new factual information.
