SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Permanent, Privately Owned
Horse Quarantine Facilities.
OMB Number: 0579–0313.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products to prevent the introduction
into and dissemination within the
United States of livestock diseases and
pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States
based on the regulations in parts 92
through 98 of Title 9, Code of Federal
Regulations (9 CFR).
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
require, among other things, that certain
animals, as a condition of entry, be
quarantined upon arrival in the United
States. APHIS operates animal
quarantine facilities and also authorizes
the use of quarantine facilities that are
privately owned and operated for
certain animal importations.
The regulations in subpart C of part
93 pertain to the importation of horses
and include requirements for privately

owned quarantine facilities for horses.
For permanent, privately owned
quarantine facilities, these requirements
entail certain information collection
activities, including environmental
certification, application for facility
approval, service agreements, requests
to APHIS concerning withdrawal of
approval, notification to APHIS of
facility closure, compliance agreements,
security procedures, alarm notification,
lists of personnel, signed statements,
daily logs, and requests for variance.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.80952 hours per response.
Respondents: Applicants who apply
for facility approval; owners and
operators of permanent, privately
owned horse quarantine facilities;
facility employees; authorities who
issue environmental certifications; and
employees of security companies.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 6.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 3.5.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 21.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 17 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

Review; 2010–2011

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on lightweight
thermal paper (LWTP) from Germany
for the period November 1, 2010,
through October 31, 2011. We have
preliminarily determined that
Papierfabrik August Koehler AG
(Koehler) made sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value,
based on adverse facts available (AFA).
DATES: Effective Date: December 11,
2012.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is lightweight thermal paper. The
merchandise subject to the order is
currently classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
3703.10.60, 4811.59.20, 4811.90.8000,
4811.90.8030, 4811.90.8040,

4811.90.9050, 4811.90.9080,
4811.90.9090, 4820.10.20, and
4823.40.00. Although the HTSUS
numbers are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
product description, available in the
Orders, remains dispositive.1

Thermal Paper from Germany and the People’s
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:01 Dec 10, 2012
Jkt 229001
In making these findings, we have
relied on total facts available and
because Koehler did not act to the best
of its ability to respond to the
Department’s requests for information,
we have drawn an adverse inference in
selecting from among the facts
otherwise available. See sections 776(a)
and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act,
we are relying on information from the
petition in order to ensure that the AFA
rate is sufficiently adverse so as to
induce cooperation.2 Accordingly, we
have preliminarily determined to apply
a 75.36 percent rate as AFA for Koehler.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Memorandum to
Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration from Christian
Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, titled ‘‘Decision
Memorandum for Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review: Lightweight Thermal Paper
from Germany,’’ (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum), dated concurrently with
these results and hereby adopted by this
notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered
users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in
the Central Records Unit (CRU), room
7046 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Internet at https://
www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and
the electronic versions of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period November
1, 2010, through October 31, 2011:
Republic of China, 73 FR 70959 (November 24,
