sales, we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based
on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the examined sales to that
importer. For those sales where the
respondent did not report the entered
value of its U.S. sales, we calculated
importer-specific or customer-specific
per-unit duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales and dividing this
amount by the total quantity of those
sales. To determine whether the duty
assessment rates are de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set
forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
ratios based on the estimated entered
value.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., at or
above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent). The final results of
this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
company included in these final results
of review for which the reviewed
company did not know that the
merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or
exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate effective
during the POR if there is no rate for the
intermediary involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the company
listed above will be that established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is less than 0.50 percent and,
therefore, de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash
deposit 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
previous review, or the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) 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; and 4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 23.21
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the LTFV investigation. See
Citric Acid Duty Orders. These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This administrative review and notice
are published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
Dated: January 31, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The population of Cook Inlet beluga
whales found in the Cook Inlet of
Alaska is one of five distinct population
segments in United States (U.S.) waters.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:34 Feb 06, 2012
Jkt 226001
It was listed as endangered under the
Endangered Species Act on October 22,
2008 (73 FR 62919). The public benefits
associated with the results of protection
actions on the Cook Inlet beluga whale,
such as population increases, are
primarily the result of the nonconsumptive value people attribute to
such protection (e.g., active use values
associated with being able to view
beluga whales and passive use values
unrelated to direct human use). Little is
known about these values, yet such
information is needed for decision
makers to more fully understand the
trade-offs involved in choosing among
potential protection alternatives and to
complement other information available
about the costs, benefits, and impacts of
protection alternatives.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) plans to conduct a survey to
collect data for measuring the economic
benefits the public receives for
providing additional protection, beyond
current levels, to the Cook Inlet beluga
whale. These preferences are currently
not known, but are needed to assist in
the evaluation of alternative measures to
further protect and recover the species’
population, such as in the evaluation of
critical habitat designations. The survey
consists of conducting a mail-telephone
survey of U.S. households to collect
data that will be used to measure these
public preferences and values.
During 2011, NMFS fielded a pilot
version of the survey to a small number
of U.S. households, primarily to
evaluate the survey administration
procedures prior to sending the survey
out to a larger and more representative
sample. The results of this pretest
indicated the need to make minor
adjustments to the survey
administration (e.g., timing of mailings
and telephone calls), which will be
incorporated in the data collection to
which this notice pertains.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected primarily
through a mail survey of a random
sample of U.S. households with an
oversampling of Alaska households.
Additional data will be collected in
telephone interviews with individuals
who do not respond to the mail survey.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,200.
Estimated Time per Response: 25

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
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
