Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension of a current information
collection.
NOAA has established a program to
reduce excess fishing capacity by paying
fishermen to (1) surrender their fishing
permits or (2) surrender their permits,
and either scrap their vessels or restrict
vessel titles to prevent fishing. These
fishing capacity reduction programs, or
buybacks, can be funded by a Federal
loan to the industry or by direct Federal
or other funding. These buybacks are
conducted pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, and the MagnusonStevens Reauthorization Act (Pub. L.
109–479). The regulations implementing
the buybacks are at 50 CFR part 600.
Depending upon the type of buyback
involved, the program can entail the
submission of buyback requests by
industry, the submission of bids,
referenda of fishery participants, and
reporting of the collection of fees to
repay a Federal loan. For buybacks
involving State-managed fisheries, the
State may need to develop the buyback
plan and comply with other information
requirements. The information collected
by NMFS is required to request a
buyback, submit supporting data for
requested buybacks, to submit bids, and
to conduct referenda of fishery
participants.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements at 50 CFR 600.1013
through 600.1017 form the basis for this
collection of information on fee
payment and collection. NMFS requests
information from participating buyback
participants. This information, upon
receipt, tracks the repayment of the
Federal loans that are issued as part of
the buybacks, and ensures accurate
management and monitoring of the
loans during the repayment term.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, monthly and on
occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or maintain benefits.

SUMMARY: On December 14, 2011, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published the final
results of the first administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on citric
acid and certain citrate salts (‘‘citric
acid’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’).1 The period of review is
November 20, 2008, through April 30,
2010. We are amending our Final
Results to correct a ministerial error
made in the calculation of the
antidumping duty margin for Yixing
Union Biochemical Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yixing
Union’’) pursuant to section 751(h) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 19, 2011, Yixing Union
timely submitted an allegation of a
ministerial error with respect to the
Final Results of the November 20, 2008,
through April 30, 2010, administrative
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(c)(ii). No other party submitted
comments regarding ministerial error
allegations.
Ministerial Errors
A ministerial error as defined in
section 751(h) of the Act includes
‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ See also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Yixing Union’s
comments, we have determined, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that
a ministerial error existed in a certain
calculation in the Final Results.
Specifically, the Department
inadvertently applied marine insurance
to all, rather than a portion, of Yixing
Union’s U.S. sales. Correction of this
error results in a change to Yixing
Union’s final antidumping duty margin.
For a detailed discussion of this
ministerial error, as well as the
Department’s analysis, see Final Results
of the 2008–2010 Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
for Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts
from the People’s Republic of China:
Allegation of Ministerial Error, dated
concurrently with this notice.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
we are amending the Final Results of the
administrative review of citric acid from
the PRC. Listed below is the revised
weighted-average dumping margin
resulting from these amended final
results:

Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with these
amended final results of review. For
assessment purposes, we calculated
importer (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for merchandise
subject to this review consistent with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where appropriate,
we calculated an ad valorem rate for
each importer (or customer) by dividing
the total dumping margins for reviewed
sales to that party by the total entered
values associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates
calculated on this basis, we will direct
CBP to assess the resulting ad valorem
rate against the entered customs values
for the subject merchandise. Where
appropriate, we calculated a per-unit
rate for each importer (or customer) by
dividing the total dumping margins for
reviewed sales to that party by the total
sales quantity associated with those
transactions. For duty-assessment rates
calculated on this basis, we will direct
CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate
against the entered quantity of the
subject merchandise. Where an importer
(or customer)-specific assessment rate is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent),
the Department will instruct CBP to
assess that importer’s (or customer’s)
entries of subject merchandise without
regard to antidumping duties, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
The Court of International Trade has
issued a preliminary injunction
enjoining the liquidation of certain
entries during the period of review,
therefore, assessment instructions will
be issued as appropriate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively on any entries made on or
after December 14, 2011, the date of
publication of the Final Results, for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
Yixing Union, the cash deposit rate will
be the amended final margin rate shown
above in the ‘‘Ministerial Errors’’ section
of this notice; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the PRCwide rate of 156.87 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporters that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
These amended final results are
published in accordance with sections
751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 19, 2011, Yixing Union timely submitted an allegation
of a ministerial error with respect to the Final Results of the
November 20, 2008, through April 30, 2010, administrative review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(c)(ii). No other party submitted
comments regarding ministerial error allegations.
Ministerial Errors
A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Act
includes ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error
which the administering authority considers ministerial.'' See also 19
CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Yixing Union's comments, we have determined, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that a ministerial error existed in
a certain calculation in the Final Results. Specifically, the
Department inadvertently applied marine insurance to all, rather than a
portion, of Yixing Union's U.S. sales. Correction of this error results
in a change to Yixing Union's final antidumping duty margin. For a
detailed discussion of this ministerial error, as well as the
Department's analysis, see Final Results of the 2008-2010
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order for Citric Acid and
Certain Citrate Salts from the People's Republic of China: Allegation
of Ministerial Error, dated concurrently with this notice.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the administrative
review of citric acid from the PRC. Listed below is the revised
weighted-average dumping margin resulting from these amended final
results:

parties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
of subject merchandise in accordance with these amended final results
of review. For assessment purposes, we calculated importer (or
customer)-specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this
review consistent with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where appropriate, we
calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer (or customer) by
dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by
the total entered values associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess
the resulting ad valorem rate against the entered customs values for
the subject merchandise. Where appropriate, we calculated a per-unit
rate for each importer (or customer) by dividing the total dumping
margins for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales quantity
associated with those transactions. For duty-assessment rates
calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess the resulting
per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject merchandise.
Where an importer (or customer)-specific assessment rate is de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), the Department will instruct CBP to
assess that importer's (or customer's) entries of subject merchandise
without regard to antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2). The Court of International Trade has issued a
preliminary injunction enjoining the liquidation of certain entries
during the period of review, therefore, assessment instructions will be
issued as appropriate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective
retroactively on any entries made on or after December 14, 2011, the
date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Yixing Union, the cash deposit
rate will be the amended final margin rate shown above in the
``Ministerial Errors'' section of this notice; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 156.87 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain
in effect until further notice.
These amended final results are published in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
