Download as PDF 17032 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2012 / Notices meet the requirements of section 773(e)(2)(B) of the Act because it is predominately a trading company in building materials, while AHI is predominately a provider of services and products to a customer base of marine, offshore, and engineering industries which is substantially divergent from that of Precision and Dubai Wire. Further, because this source of information did not provide enough detail to calculate selling expenses for Dubai Wire and Precision Fasteners, we used the companies’ respective company-wide selling-expense rates. See company-specific analysis memoranda. With respect to Precision, see also Comment 7 of accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum to this final determination. We find that this approach satisfies sufficiently the criteria of section 773(e) because the selling expenses were derived for subject merchandise as well as for products in the same general category as subject merchandise. weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding any zero or de minimis margins and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Dubai Wire and Precision Fasteners are the only respondents in this investigation for which we calculated a company-specific rate that is not zero or de minimis or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Therefore, because there are only two relevant weighted-average dumping margins for this final determination and because using a weighted-average calculation risks disclosure of business proprietary information of Dubai Wire and Precision Fasteners, the ‘‘all-others’’ rate is a simple-average of these two values, which is 4.55 percent. See Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube From Mexico: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 60723, 60724 (October 1, 2010). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation Disclosure We intend to disclose to parties in this proceeding the calculations performed within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of nails from the United Arab Emirates which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 3, 2011, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination. We will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit or the posting of a bond equal to the weighted-average margins, as indicated below, as follows: (1) The rates for Dubai Wire, Precision, and Tech Fast will be the rates we have determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a firm identified in this investigation but the producer is, the rate will be the rate established for the producer of the subject merchandise; (3) the rate for all other producers or exporters will be 4.55 percent, as discussed in the ‘‘All-Others Rate’’ section, below. These suspensionof-liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Notification Regarding APO This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to Dubai Wire FZE ........................ 6.29 administrative protective order (APO) of Precision Fasteners LLC .......... 2.80 their responsibility concerning the Tech Fast International Ltd ...... 184.41 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance All-Others Rate with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act notification of the destruction of APO provides that the estimated all-others materials or conversion to judicial rate shall be an amount equal to the protective order is hereby requested.

As our final determination is affirmative and in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will determine, within 45 days, whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of the subject merchandise. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.

DATES: Effective from March 18, 2012, through March 17, 2014. ADDRESSES: Copies of the Navy’s November 2, 2011, LOA application, and the LOA are available by writing to P. Michael Payne, Chief, Permits and Conservation Division, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910, by telephoning the contact listed here (See FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), or online at: https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/ permits/incidental.htm#applications. Documents cited in this notice may be viewed, by appointment, during regular business hours, at the aforementioned address. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shane Guan, Office of Protected Resources, NMFS (301) 427–8401. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) directs the Secretary of Commerce to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional taking of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a military readiness activity if certain findings are made and regulations are issued. Authorization may be granted for periods of 5 years or less if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s), and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for subsistence uses. In addition, NMFS must prescribe PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17033 regulations that include permissible methods of taking and other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the species and its habitat, and on the availability of the species for subsistence uses, paying particular attention to rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of similar significance. The regulations also must include requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. Regulations governing the taking of marine mammals incidental to the U.S. Navy’s training activities at the GOMEX Range Complex were published on February 17, 2011 (76 FR 9250), and remain in effect through February 17, 2016. They are codified at 50 CFR part 218 subpart D. These regulations include mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements for the incidental taking of marine mammals by the Navy’s training activities. For detailed information on these actions, please refer to the February 17, 2011, Federal Register notice and 50 CFR part 218 subpart D. On February 1, 2012, NMFS published a final rule (77 FR 4917) that allows for the issuance of multi-year LOAs, as long as the regulations governing such LOAs are valid. Summary of LOA Request NMFS received an application from the U.S. Navy for an LOA covering the Navy’s training activities at the GOMEX Range Complex in the Gulf of Mexico under the regulations issued on February 17, 2011 (76 FR 9250). The application requested authorization, for a period of two years, to take, by harassment, marine mammals incidental to proposed training activities that involve underwater explosive detonation. Summary of Activity Under the 2011 LOA Between March 2011 and January 2012, there were no training events conducted in the GOMEX Range Complex. Planned Activities for 2012 Through 2014 In 2012 through March 2014, the Navy expects to conduct the same type and amount of training activities identified in the final rules and 2011 LOA. No modification is proposed by the Navy for its planned 2012—2014 activities under the 2011 rule. Estimated Take for 2012–2014 The estimated takes for the Navy’s proposed training activities are the same as those authorized in 2011. No change E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM 23MRN1
