Download as PDF 65673 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 210 / Tuesday, October 30, 2012 / Notices August 30, 2012, the Department published its notice of implementation of determinations under section 129 of the URAA in the antidumping duty investigation on CWP from the PRC.3 Subsequent to publication, we identified a clerical error in Implementation of Section 129 Determinations as published in the Federal Register. One of the CWP exporter/producer chain rates was inadvertently omitted from the chart under the section entitled, ‘‘Final Determinations: Recalculated Antidumping Duty Cash Deposit Rates.’’ The Department is now correcting this inadvertent error. The names of the exporter and producer are listed below: Final Determinations: Recalculated Antidumping Duty Cash Deposit Rates AMENDED ANTIDUMPING DUTY CASH DEPOSIT RATES (PERCENT) CIRCULAR WELDED CARBON QUALITY STEEL PIPE FROM THE PRC Exporter Producer Weighted-Average Dumping Margin 4 Revised Cash Deposit Rate Shanghai Metals & Minerals Import & Export Corp.

All recalculated countervailing duty rates and antidumping duty cash deposit rates as published in Implementation of Section 129 Determinations remain unchanged. National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce. This is a notice in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(e) and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’), U.S. Department of Commerce, is contemplating the grant of an exclusive license in the United States of America, its territories, possessions and commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in the invention embodied in U.S. Patent Application No. 61/625,511 titled ‘‘UVAssisted Alcohol Sensing with Zinc Oxide Functionalized Gallium Nitride Nanowires,’’ NIST Docket No. 12–020 to the University of Maryland, having a place of business at 0133 Cole Student Activities Building, College Park MD 20742–1001. The grant of the license would be for all fields of use. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Lynch, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Technology Partnerships Office, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2200, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, (301) 975–2691, terry.lynch@nist.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within fifteen days from the date of this published Notice, NIST receives written evidence and argument which establish that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. U.S. Patent Application No. 61/ 625,511 is co-owned by the U.S. government, as represented by the Secretary of Commerce, George Washington University and the University of Maryland. Alcohol sensors Steel Pipe from the People’s Republic of China, dated July 31, 2012. using gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires (NWs) functionalized with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been demonstrated. These sensors operate at room temperature, are fully recoverable and demonstrate a response and recovery time of the order of 100 s. The sensing is assisted by UV light within the 215 nm–400 nm band and with the intensity of 375 nW/cm2 measured at 365 nm. The ability to functionalize an inactive nanowire surface, with analyte specific active metal oxide nanoparticles makes this sensor technique suitable for fabricating multianalyte sensor arrays. 3 See Implementation of Section 129 Determinations. Implementation of the Revised Cash Deposit Requirements With respect to this proceeding, the cash deposit rate for the above-named exporter/producer combination has not been superseded by intervening administrative reviews. Therefore, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require a cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties at the appropriate rate for the exporter/producer combination specified above, for entries of subject merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 21, 2012. This correction of the notice of implementation of this section 129 determination is published in accordance with section 129(c)(2)(A) of the URAA. Dated: October 19, 2012.
