Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2011 / Notices For the companies which were not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to apply the rates listed above to all entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by such firms. Consistent with the May 2003 Clarification, for Hi-Pack and ITW Minigrip, which claimed they had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any applicable entries of subject merchandise at the all-others rate. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of review. Cash-Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of PRCBs from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash-deposit rates for the reviewed companies 5 will be the rates established in the final results of review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cashdeposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer has its own rate, the cash-deposit rate will be 4.69 percent (see TPBI Revocation). These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Notification to Importer 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 Department’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. 5 The prospective cash-deposit requirement will not apply to merchandise produced and exported by TPBI. See TPBI Revocation. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:47 May 23, 2011 Jkt 223001 These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

These documents are also available upon written request or by appointment in the following offices: Permits, Conservation and Education Division, Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room 13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910; phone (301)713–2289; fax (301)713–0376; and Pacific Islands Region, NMFS, 1601 Kapiolani Blvd., Rm 1110, Honolulu, HI 96814–4700; phone (808)944– 2200; fax (808)973–2941. Written comments on this application should be submitted to the Chief, DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30109 Permits, Conservation and Education Division, at the address listed above. Comments may also be submitted by facsimile to (301)713–0376, or by e-mail to NMFS.Pr1Comments@noaa.gov. Please include the File No. in the subject line of the email comment. Those individuals requesting a public hearing should submit a written request to the Chief, Permits, Conservation and Education Division at the address listed above. The request should set forth the specific reasons why a hearing on this application would be appropriate. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Sloan or Jennifer Skidmore, (301)713–2289. The subject permit (File No. 15453) has been requested under the authority of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations governing the taking and importing of marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222–226). On January 27, 2011 (76 FR 4867), notice was published that a scientific research and enhancement permit had been requested by the applicant to include research on two captive Hawaiian monk seals (Monachus schauinslandi) and associated enhancement activities at the Waikiki Aquarium. The applicant is requesting to amend the application to request authorization to hold up to three permanently captive Hawaiian monk seals at the Waikiki Aquarium at any given time, an increase of one animal from that described in the permit application. The purpose of the request is to allow maintenance and research on an additional non-releasable monk seal in the event one becomes available; this request is in consideration of the aging seals currently maintained at the Waikiki Aquarium. In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial determination has been made that the activity proposed is categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. Concurrent with the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, NMFS is forwarding copies of the addendum to the original application to the Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific Advisors.
