Office of the Attorney General; Assumption of Concurrent Federal Criminal Jurisdiction in Certain Areas of Indian Country
This rule establishes the procedures for an Indian tribe whose Indian country is subject to State criminal jurisdiction under Public Law 280 (18 U.S.C. 1162(a)) to request that the United States accept concurrent criminal jurisdiction within the tribe's Indian country, and for the Attorney General to decide whether to consent to such a request.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of corrosion damage on the outer diameter chrome surface of the horizontal stabilizer pivot pins. Micro cracks in the chrome plating of the pivot pin, some of which extended into the base metal, were also reported. This condition, if not corrected, could result in a fractured horizontal stabilizer pivot pin, which may cause excessive horizontal stabilizer freeplay and structural damage significant enough to result in loss of control of the airplane. This proposed AD would require replacing the existing horizontal stabilizer pivot pins with new or reworked pivot pins having improved corrosion resistance, doing repetitive inspections after installing the pivot pins, and doing corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order \1\ on uncovered innerspring units (``innersprings'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011. As discussed below, we preliminarily determine that Goodnite Sdn Bhd (``Goodnite'') failed to cooperate to the best of its ability and are, therefore, applying adverse facts available (``AFA'') to Goodnite's PRC-origin merchandise. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the POR.

Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited Third Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
On August 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') initiated the third sunset review of the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished (``TRBs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''). On August 16, 2011, the Timken Company (``Timken''), a domestic producer and the petitioner in the TRBs less-than-fair-value investigation, notified the Department that it intended to participate in the sunset review. On August 16, 2011, the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO-CLC (``USW''), a union that represents workers engaged in the manufacturing of tapered roller bearings and parts thereof in the United States, also notified the Department that it intended to participate in the sunset review. The Department did not receive a notice of intent to participate from any respondent interested party. Based on the notices of intent to participate and adequate response filed by Timken and USW (together, ``the domestic parties''), and the lack of response from any respondent interested party, the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). See Antidumping Duty Order; Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished or Unfinished, From the People's Republic of China, 52 FR 22667 (June 15, 1987), as amended, Tapered Roller Bearings From the People's Republic of China; Amendment to Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order in Accordance With Decision Upon Remand, 55 FR 6669 (Feb. 26, 1990) (``Order''). As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this notice, infra.

Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of Countervailing Duty Order: Certain Lined Paper Products From India
On August 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain lined paper products (CLPP) from India pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 76 FR 45778 (August 1, 2011) (Initiation Notice). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of domestic interested parties and an inadequate response (in this case, no response) from respondent interested parties, the Department decided to conduct an expedited sunset review of this CVD order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C).

Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Orders: Lined Paper Products From India, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of China
On August 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty (``AD'') orders on lined paper products (``CLPP'') from India, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 76 FR 45778 (August 1, 2011). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of domestic interested parties and an inadequate response (in this case, no response) from respondent interested parties in each of these reviews, the Department decided to conduct expedited sunset reviews of these AD orders pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A). As a result of these reviews, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the margins identified in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof (``diamond sawblades'') from the Republic of Korea (``Korea''). The period of review is January 23, 2009, through October 31, 2010. This review covers imports of diamond sawblades from three manufacturers/exporters: Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. (``Ehwa''); Hyosung D&P Co., Ltd. (``Hyosung''); and Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd. (``Shinhan''). The Department preliminarily finds that Shinhan and Ehwa made sales of the subject merchandise below normal value. For Hyosung, we have determined to apply adverse facts available as a result of its failure to provide the information necessary to determine an antidumping duty rate for the preliminary results and its failure to provide information within the deadlines established by the Department. Pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Court of International Trade (``CIT'') on October 24, 2011, liquidation of the entries covered by this administrative review is enjoined. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. The Department will issue the final results not later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.
