Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC); Public Meeting, 69706-69707 [2011-29008]

Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 69706 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 9, 2011 / Notices determines that Mr. Wang was in a position to know the facts, but was not an employee in the sense required by the Department’s certification regulation.4 Moreover, in the AR1 Final Results, the Department valued hydrochloric acid (‘‘HCl’’) using World Trade Atlas (‘‘WTA’’) data for Cherishmet and valued carbonized materials using the WTA value for other cokes of coal. The CIT remanded to the Department to permit Cherishmet the opportunity to place HCl data on the record 5 and remanded to the Department to address argument that imports under Indian HTS 2704.00.90 ‘‘Other Cokes of Coal’’ are not product-specific and ‘‘to select the best method for valuation of the input as possible.’’ 6 Additionally, in the AR1 Final Results, the Department calculated a surrogate wage value in accordance with the regression-based methodology set forth in 19 CFR 351.408(c)(3). In Dorbest Ltd. v. United States, 604 F.3d 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (‘‘Dorbest’’), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) held that the Department’s ‘‘{regression-based} method for calculating wage rates {as stipulated by 19 CFR 351.408(c)(3)} uses data not permitted by {the statutory requirements laid out in section 773 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’) (i.e. 19 U.S.C. 1677b(c))}.’’ 7 Specifically, the CAFC interpreted section 773(c) of the Act to require the use of data from market economy countries that are both economically comparable to the NME at issue and significant producers of the subject merchandise, unless such data are unavailable. Because the Department’s regulation requires the Department to use data from economically dissimilar countries and from countries that do not produce comparable merchandise, the CAFC invalidated the Department’s labor regulation (19 CFR 351.408(c)(3)). On June 21, 2011, the Department revised its labor calculation methodology for valuing an NME respondent’s cost of labor in NME antidumping proceedings.8 In Labor Methodologies, the Department found that the best methodology for valuing the NME respondent’s cost of labor is to use the industry-specific labor rate from the surrogate country. Additionally, the Department found that the best data 4 See Remand at 9. 5 See Remand at 15. 6 See id. at 19. 7 See Dorbest, 604 F.3d at 1372. 8 See Antidumping Methodologies in Proceedings Involving Non-Market Economies: Valuing the Factor of Production: Labor, 76 FR 36092 (June 21, 2011) (‘‘Labor Methodologies’’). VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 08, 2011 Jkt 226001 source for calculating the industryspecific labor rate for the surrogate country is the data reported under ‘‘Chapter 6A: Labor Cost in Manufacturing’’ from the ILO Yearbook of Labor Statistics.9 Following Dorbest, the Department requested a voluntary remand for its labor rate calculations for Cherishmet in the AR1 Final Results. The CIT granted the Department’s request for a voluntary remand for its labor rate calculations for Cherishmet in the AR1 Final Results with instructions that the labor wage value be recalculated without reliance on the invalidated labor regulation.10 On July 25, 2011, the Department issued its final results of redetermination pursuant to Remand. Pursuant to Remand, we granted a separate rate to Hebei Foreign for the first administrative review period. Additionally, pursuant to the Dorbest ruling, Labor Methodologies and Remand, we revised the labor rate calculation methodology to comply with the CAFC’s interpretation of section 773 of the Act. We also recalculated the HCl surrogate value using prices from Chemical Weekly, and recalculated the carbonized material surrogate value using WTA Indian import statistics under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule number for coconut shell charcoal. The Department’s redetermination resulted in changes to the AR1 Final Results for Hebei Foreign’s margin from 228.11 percent to 16.35 percent and for Cherishmet’s margin from 16.84 percent to 2.95 percent. The CIT sustained the Department’s remand redetermination with respect to Hebei Foreign and Cherishmet on October 24, 2011.11 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the CAFC has held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Act, the Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s October 24, 2011 judgment sustaining the Department’s remand redetermination with respect to Hebei Foreign and Cherishmet constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Department’s AR1 Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, 9 See Labor Methodologies at 39063. Remand at 24–25. 11 See Hebei Foreign Trade and Advertising Corporation., et al. v. United States, Court No. 09– 00524 (CIT October 24, 2011) Slip Op. 11–134 (judgment). 10 See PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. The cash deposit rate will remain the company-specific rate established for the subsequent and most recent period during which the respondents were reviewed.12 Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court decision with respect to Hebei Foreign and Cherishmet, we are amending the AR1 Final Results to reflect the results of the above-described litigation. The revised dumping margins are as follows: Exporter name Margin (percent) Hebei Foreign Trade and Advertising Corporation .................... Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet Activated Carbon Co., Ltd.13 .. 16.35 2.95 In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on entries of the subject merchandise during the POR from Hebei Foreign and Cherishmet based on the revised assessment rates calculated by the Department. This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 516A(c)(1), 516A(e), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: November 3, 2011.
