Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 197 / Thursday, October 11, 2012 / Notices
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
have calculated importer-specific (or
customer-specific) per-unit 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. 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. The Department intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
final results of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification applies
to entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by the companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed company did
not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all
others rate from the investigation if
there is no rate for the intermediate
company involved in the transaction.
For a full discussion of this clarification,
see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of these final
results, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act): (1) For the company
covered by this review, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate listed above in the
section ‘‘Final Results of Review’’; (2)
for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review
but covered in a previous segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published in the most
recent final results in which that
producer or exporter participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or in any previous segment of
this proceeding, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
for the producer of the merchandise in
VerDate Mar<15>2010

these final results of review or in the
most recent final results in which that
producer participated; and, (4) if neither
the exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this review or in any
previous segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will be 15.67 percent,
the all-others rate established in the less
than fair value investigation.2 These
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice is the only reminder to
parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
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 Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred, and in the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
final results and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 3, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import

Pumped High speed Nd:YAG laser
system. Manufacturer: Edgewave GmbH,
Germany. Intended Use: The instrument
will be used as a diagnostics equipment
to study high temperature combustion
occurring in a laboratory combustor
with highly turbulent flows, specifically
to detect chemical species of
combustion in conditions that are
similar to actual engine operating
conditions. The system will be used to
pump a dye laser to generate ultra-violet
light which can be used to rack
chemical species during combustion,
such as hydroxyl (OH) radicals. The

hydroxyl which is excited using
ultraviolet light (283 nm) will then
fluoresce and can be detected using an

requirements that this system fulfills are
the beam profile of M2<2, to ability to
perform sub 10 ns pulses with all the
different specifications, and the crystals

ACTION: Notice and Call for
Applications.
AGENCY:
In this notice, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC)
announces that it will accept
applications for the International Buyer
Program (IBP) for calendar year 2014
(January 1, 2014 through December 31,
2014). The announcement also sets out
the objectives, procedures and
application review criteria for the IBP.
The purpose of the IBP program is to
bring international buyers together with
U.S. firms in industries with high export
potential at leading U.S. trade shows.
Specifically, through the IBP, the DOC
selects domestic trade shows which will
receive DOC assistance in the form of
global promotion in foreign markets,
providing export counseling to
exhibitors, and providing export
counseling and matchmaking services at
the trade show. This notice covers
selection for IBP participation during
calendar year 2014. It also announces a
new pilot initiative for the IBP, which
will allow up to 20% of the 2014 IBP
shows to be preselected for IBP
participation in calendar year 2015
(January 1, 2015 through December 31,
2015) without having to reapply for the
second year. Eligibility for this pilot
initiative is limited to annual trade
shows that participated in the IBP in
calendar years 2011 or 2012. Applicants
interested in being considered for this
pilot must indicate so in the
application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IBP
was established in the Omnibus Trade
and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Pub.
L. 100–418, codified at 15 U.S.C. 4724)
to bring international buyers together
with U.S. firms by promoting leading
U.S. trade shows in industries with high
export potential. The IBP emphasizes
cooperation between the DOC and trade
show organizers to benefit U.S. firms
exhibiting at selected events and
provides practical, hands-on assistance
such as export counseling and market
analysis to U.S. companies interested in
exporting. Shows selected for the IBP
will provide a venue for U.S. companies
interested in expanding their sales into
international markets.
Through the IBP, the DOC selects
trade shows that DOC determines to be
leading international trade shows with
participation by U.S. firms interested in
exporting for promotion in overseas
markets by U.S. Embassies and
Consulates. DOC is authorized to
provide successful applicants with
assistance in the form of overseas
promotion of the show; outreach to
show participants about exporting;
recruiting potential buyers to attend the
events; and through physical staff
assistance at the event through setting
up international trade centers at the
events. Worldwide promotion is
executed through the offices of the DOC
