SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with
Background
On April 10, 2012, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
in the Federal Register a notice of
‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review’’ of the antidumping duty order
on solid fertilizer grade ammonium
nitrate (ammonium nitrate) from the
Russian Federation (Russia) for the
period of review (POR) of May 2, 2011,
through March 31, 2012.1 The
Department received timely-filed
requests from JSC Acron (Acron) and
MCC EuroChem (EuroChem) (the
respondents) in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for an administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on
ammonium nitrate from Russia. On May
29, 2012, the Department published a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on ammonium nitrate from Russia for
Acron and EuroChem.2 On the same
date, we: (1) Issued the antidumping
questionnaire to these companies; and
(2) requested information from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on
imports of subject merchandise from
these respondents during the POR, in
accordance with our practice. In June
2012, we received the requested CBP
information, which showed that neither
Acron nor EuroChem had entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
On June 5, 2012, we placed a
memorandum on the administrative
record of this case stating that our
review of the CBP database showed no
POR entries of subject merchandise by
the respondents.3 We released the
results of our CBP data query to the
respondents and CF Industries, Inc. and
El Dorado Chemical Company
(collectively, the petitioners). We
received no comments on the CBP data.
On June 20, 2012, Acron submitted its
response to section A of the
Department’s antidumping
questionnaire, which indicated that
1 See Ammonium Nitrate from Russia: Correction
to Notice of Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 77 FR 21527 (Apr. 10, 2012).
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Requests for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 31586, 31570
(May 29, 2012).
3 See the June 5, 2012, memorandum from
Elizabeth Eastwood, Senior Analyst, to the file,
entitled, ‘‘2011–2012 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Solid Fertilizer Grade
Ammonium Nitrate (Ammonium Nitrate) from the
Russian Federation (Russia): Data Query Request.’’
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Acron had a shipment of subject
merchandise to the United States in
March 2012; however, the entry
documentation submitted with this
response showed that the entry
associated with this shipment was not
made until after the end of the POR. See
Acron’s June 20, 2012, response at
Exhibits 1 and 19.
On June 22, 2012, EuroChem
submitted a partial response to section
A of the Department’s antidumping duty
questionnaire, which stated that
EuroChem also had a shipment of
subject merchandise to the United
States in March 2012. Unlike Acron,
however, EuroChem provided a CBP
7501 form indicating that the entry
associated with this shipment occurred
on March 26, 2012. See EuroChem’s
June 22, 2012, submission at Exhibit 2.
Because this information was not
consistent with the underlying CBP
data, on June 25, 2012, we queried the
CBP database as to the status of the
particular entry in question. According
to the CBP database, although
EuroChem submitted its entry
documentation on March 26, 2012, the
entry was not accepted by CBP as
entered until after the end of the POR.
Because neither respondent had an
entry of subject merchandise into the
United States during the POR, on June
28, 2012, the Department placed a
memorandum on the record notifying
interested parties of its intent to rescind
this administrative review.4 We invited
parties to comment on our Intent to
Rescind Memo. On July 9, 2012, we
received comments from the
respondents, and on July 16, 2012, we
received rebuttal comments from the
petitioners.
On August 24, 2012, we placed a
memorandum on the record regarding
EuroChem’s entry date, to which
EuroChem responded on September 4,
2012.
Rescission of Review
It is the Department’s practice to
rescind an administrative review
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) when
there are no reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
subject to the antidumping duty order
and for which liquidation is
suspended.5 At the end of the
4 See the June 28, 2012, memorandum from Holly
Phelps, Analyst, to James Maeder, Director, Office
2, entitled, ‘‘Intent to Rescind Administrative
Review: 2011–2012 Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Solid Fertilizer Grade
Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation’’
(Intent to Rescind Memo).
5 See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
From Brazil: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 32498 (June 1,
2012); and Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars

administrative review, the suspended
entries are liquidated at the assessment
rate computed for the review period.
See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(l). Therefore, for
an administrative review to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry to be liquidated at the
newly calculated assessment rate. As
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum (Decision Memo)
accompanying this notice, we find that
neither respondent made entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
Therefore, we are rescinding this review
of the antidumping duty order on
ammonium nitrate from Russia pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

administrative review in their

I. Abstract
The National Estuarine Research
Reserve System (NERRS) Science
Collaborative was created in 2009 to put
Reserve-based science to work for
coastal communities coping with the
impacts of land use change, pollution,
and habitat degradation in the context of
a changing climate. The program
operates on the belief that for science to
be applied to solve coastal management
problems, the people who need to use
the science must be involved in its
generation.
The projects funded by the NERRS
Science Collaborative are designed to
bring the intended users of the science
into the research process so that their
perspectives can inform problem
definition, research design and
implementation, and ultimately,
application of the project results. This is
what is meant by ‘‘collaboration,’’ and it
is the program’s goal to use this process
to ensure that the good science
happening in and around the Reserves
gets put to good use.
To help evaluate the efficacy of the
NERRS Science Collaborative, NOAA is
conducting a survey of the NERRS staff
located in the 28 Reserves around the
country to solicit their perspective about
the program and how it has been
implemented.

ACTION:
Notice; request for comments.
The Assistant Regional
Administrator for Sustainable Fisheries,
Northeast Region, NMFS, has made a
preliminary determination that the
subject exempted fishing permit (EFP)
application contains all the required
information and warrants further
consideration. The subject EFP would
allow a commercial fishing vessel to
conduct fishing operations that are
otherwise restricted by the regulations
governing the fisheries of the
Northeastern United States. Regulations
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
require publication of this notification
to provide interested parties the
opportunity to comment on applications
for proposed EFPs.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before November 13, 2012.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by any of the following
methods:
• Email: nero.efp@noaa.gov. Include
in the subject line ‘‘Comments on
REDNET EFP.’’
• Mail: John K. Bullard, Regional
Administrator, NMFS, NE Regional
Office, 55 Great Republic Drive,
Gloucester, MA 01930. Mark the outside

EFP.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
School for Marine Science and
Technology, University of
Massachusetts, Dartmouth (SMAST),
submitted a complete EFP application
on September 5, 2012, to conduct a
redfish trawl codend selectivity
experiment. This is the third of six
components for ‘‘REDNET: A Network
to Redevelop a Sustainable Redfish
(Sebastes fasciatus) Trawl Fishery in the
Gulf of Maine’’, which is funded by the
Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s
(NEFSC) Cooperative Research Program.
The overall objective of REDNET is to
develop gear type(s), seasons, and/or
area combinations to efficiently harvest
the redfish resource in the Gulf of Maine
(GOM) to maximize the long-term
benefits while minimizing negative
impacts, thereby providing a means to
achieve the annual catch limit (ACL) for
a rebuilt, but largely inaccessible,
redfish resource. The REDNET project
includes the following components: (1)
Network development; (2) baseline
catch and bycatch evaluation; (3)
codend selectivity; (4) conservation
