See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(h)(i). In cases involving non-market economies, the Department requires that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. See, generally, Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews, 75 FR 72794 (November 26, 2010), unchanged in Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews, 76 FR 9747 (February 22, 2011). Accordingly, we will issue a questionnaire to Long Mountain that will include a separate rates section. This review will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that Long Mountain is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its shipments of preserved mushrooms. Upon initiation, we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of any unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Long Mountain and will instruct the CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for certain entries of the subject merchandise produced and exported by Long Mountain in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Long Mountain certified that it both produced and exported the subject merchandise, the sales of which form the basis for its NSR request, we will instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond only for entries of subject merchandise where Long Mountain acted both as producer and exporter. To assist in its analysis of the bona fides of Long Mountain’s sales, upon initiation of this NSR, the Department will require Long Mountain to submit on an ongoing basis complete transaction information concerning any sales of subject merchandise to the United States that were made subsequent to the POR. Interested parties requiring access to business proprietary information in this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This notice serves as a reminder that any party submitting factual information VerDate Mar<15>2010 11:23 Mar 31, 2011 Jkt 223001 in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information. See Section 782(b) of the Act. Parties are hereby reminded that revised certification requirements are in effect for company/government officials as well as their representatives in all AD/CVD investigations or proceedings initiated on or after March 14, 2011. See Certification of Factual Information to Import Administration During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Interim Final Rule, 76 FR 7491 (February 10, 2011) (Interim Final Rule) amending 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1) and (2). The formats for the revised certifications are provided at the end of the Interim Final Rule.

On February 28, 2011, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), the Department received a properly filed NSR request during the semi-annual anniversary month of the antidumping duty order from Thuan An Production Trading & Services Co., Ltd.

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Tafishco certified that it did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’). In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Tafishco certified that, since the initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with any Vietnamese exporter or producer who exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI, including those respondents not individually examined during the POI. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Tafishco also certified that its export activities were not controlled by the central government of Vietnam. In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv)(A), (B) and (C), Tafishco submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) The date on which Tafishco first shipped subject merchandise for export to the United States; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. The Department conducted U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) database queries in an attempt to confirm that Tafishco’s shipments of subject merchandise had entered the United States for consumption and that liquidation of such entries had been properly suspended for antidumping duties.

SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract NIST’s research on elevators has primarily focused on the technical aspects of ensuring safe and reliable evacuation for the occupants of tall buildings. In addition, the International Code Council and the National Fire Protection Association provide requirements for the use of elevators for both occupant evacuation and fire PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 fighter access into the building. However, there still is little understanding of how occupants use elevator systems during fire emergencies. The main focus of this research effort is to gain an understanding of how elevators are currently used by occupants of existing multi-story buildings in the United States during fire emergencies. This research aims to summarize emergency plans and procedures from buildings that make use of one or multiple elevators from the existing elevator system (used for normal building traffic) for the evacuation of building occupants during fire emergencies. Building managers and designated safety personnel from existing buildings in the United States, including federal buildings, will be contacted to fill out a questionnaire asking about how the buildings’ evacuation plans incorporate the use of the existing elevator system to evacuate occupants during fire emergencies, specifically individuals with disabilities, if at all. II. Method of Collection This data will be collected electronically. Questionnaires will be made available on a secured website and the link to this website will be distributed by NIST staff to building property managers and designated safety personnel. III. Data OMB Control Number: None. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Regular submission (new information collection). Affected Public: Selected individuals, such as building managers and designated safety personnel, who are familiar with or in charge of developing emergency procedures for multi-story buildings in the United States, including both federal and private sector buildings. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500. Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 375. Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the E:\FR\FM\31MR1.SGM 31MR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on fish fillets 
from Vietnam was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2003. 
See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 68 FR 47909 (August 12, 2003). On 
February 28, 2011, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), the Department received a properly 
filed NSR request during the semi-annual anniversary month of the 
antidumping duty order from Thuan An Production Trading & Services Co., 
Ltd. (``Tafishco''). Tafishco certified that it is both the producer 
and exporter of the subject merchandise upon which the request was 
based.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(i), Tafishco certified that it did not export subject 
merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation 
(``POI''). In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Tafishco certified that, since 
the initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with 
any Vietnamese exporter or producer who exported subject merchandise to 
the United States during the POI, including those respondents not 
individually examined during the POI. As required by 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Tafishco also certified that its export 
activities were not controlled by the central government of Vietnam.
    In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv)(A), (B) and (C), Tafishco submitted documentation 
establishing the following: (1) The date on which Tafishco first 
shipped subject merchandise for export to the United States; (2) the 
volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an 
unaffiliated customer in the United States.
    The Department conducted U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') database queries in an attempt to confirm that Tafishco's 
shipments of subject merchandise had entered the United States for 
consumption and that liquidation of such entries had been properly 
suspended for antidumping duties. The Department also examined whether 
the CBP data confirmed that such entries were made during the NSR POR. 
The information we examined was consistent with that provided by 
Tafishco.

Initiation of New Shipper Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d)(1), we find that Tafishco meets the threshold requirements 
for initiation of a NSR for the shipments of fish fillets from Vietnam 
produced and exported by Tafishco. See ``Memorandum to the File from 
Ricardo Martinez Rivera, International Trade Compliance Analyst, 
Initiation of AD New Shipper Review: Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (A-552-801),'' dated concurrently 
with this notice.
    The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR 
no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and the final 
results no later than 270 days from the date of initiation. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economy countries, to require that a company seeking to 
establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the 
country-wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of 
government control over the company's export activities. Accordingly, 
we will issue a questionnaire to Tafishco, which will include a section 
requesting information concerning Tafishco's export activities for 
separate rates purposes. The review will proceed if the response 
provides sufficient indication that Tafishco is not subject to either 
de jure or de facto government control with respect to its export of 
subject merchandise.
    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at 
the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the 
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry 
of the subject merchandise from Tafishco in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Tafishco 
certified that it produced and exported the subject merchandise, the 
sale of which is the basis for this new shipper review request, we will 
apply the bonding privilege to Tafishco only for subject merchandise 
which Tafishco both produced and exported.
    To assist in its analysis of the bona fides of Tafishco's sales, 
upon initiation of this new shipper review, the Department will require 
Tafishco to submit on an ongoing basis complete transaction information 
concerning any sales of subject merchandise to the United States that 
were made subsequent to the POR.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative 
protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This 
initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).

     Dated: March 24, 2011.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
