Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.214.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see ‘‘Decision
Memorandum for Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty New Shipper
Review: Certain Preserved Mushrooms
from the People’s Republic of China,’’
from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration (Preliminary Decision

Preliminary Rescission of NSR
Based on information that Yinfeng
submitted after the initiation of the
NSR, the Department has preliminarily
determined that Yinfeng did not meet
the minimum requirements in its
request for an NSR under 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv)(C). Therefore, the
Department preliminarily determines
that it is appropriate to rescind the NSR
for Yinfeng.
Assessment Rates
Yinfeng’s entries will are currently
subject to the PRC-wide rate. Although
the Department intends to rescind the
NSR for Yinfeng, the Department is
currently conducting an administrative
review for the POR February 1, 2011,
through January 31, 2012, which could
include the entries subject to this NSR.1
Accordingly, if the Department proceeds
with a final rescission of this NSR, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
1 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, and Deferral of
Administrative Review, 77 FR 19179, 19182 (March

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
entries during the period February 1,
2011, through January 31, 2012, of
subject merchandise exported by
Yinfeng until CBP receives instructions
relating to the administrative review
covering the period February 1, 2011,
through January 31, 2012.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Effective upon publication of the final
rescission or the final results of this
NSR, we will instruct CBP to
discontinue the option of posting a bond
or security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of subject merchandise by
Yinfeng. If we proceed to a final
rescission of this NSR, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the ad valorem
PRC-wide rate for Yinfeng. If we issue
final results of the NSR for this
respondent, we will instruct CBP to
collect cash deposits, effective upon the
publication of the final results, at the
rates established therein.
Comments
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results
and submit written arguments or case
briefs within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
otherwise notified by the Department.2
Parties are reminded that written
comments or case briefs are not the
place for submitting new factual
material. Rebuttal briefs, limited to
issues raised in the case briefs, will be
due five days later.3 Parties who submit
case or rebuttal briefs are requested to
submit with each argument: (1) A
statement of the issue; and (2) a brief
summary of the argument. Parties are
requested to provide a summary of the
arguments not to exceed five pages and
a table of statutes, regulations, and cases
cited.
Any interested party who wishes to
request a hearing, or to participate if one
is requested, must submit a written
request to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration within 30 days
after the day of publication of this
notice. A request should contain: (1)
The party’s name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be
discussed.4 Issues raised in the hearing
will be limited to those raised in case
briefs. The Department will issue the
final rescission or final results of NSR,
including the results of our analysis of
issues raised in any briefs, within 90
days after the date on which the
preliminary rescissions were issued,

19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii).

unless the deadline for the final results
is extended.5
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to the importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) 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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(f).

I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act
(16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.; MMPA), Fur
Seal Act (16 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.; FSA),
and Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.; ESA) prohibit certain
activities affecting marine mammals and
endangered and threatened species,
with exceptions. Pursuant to section 104
of the MMPA and Section 10 of the
ESA, special exception permits can be
obtained for scientific research and
enhancing the survival or recovery of a
species or stock of marine mammals or
threatened or endangered species.
Section 104 of the MMPA also includes
permits for commercial and educational
photography of marine mammals;
import and capture of marine mammals
for public display; and, Letters of
Confirmation under the General
Authorization for scientific research that
involves minimal disturbance to marine
mammals. The regulations
implementing permits and reporting
requirements under the MMPA and FSA
are at 50 CFR part 216; the regulations
for permit requirements under the ESA
are at 50 CFR part 222. The required
information in this collection is used to
evaluate the impacts of the proposed
activity on protected species; to make
the determinations required by the
MMPA, ESA and their implementing
regulations prior to issuing a permit;
and to establish appropriate permit
conditions. Inventory reporting
pertaining to marine mammals in public
display facilities is required by the
MMPA.
This information collection applies to
protected species for which NMFS is
responsible, including the marine
mammal species of cetaceans (whales,
dolphins and porpoises), pinnipeds
(seals and sea lions), sea turtles (in
water), white abalone, black abalone,
smalltooth sawfish, largetooth sawfish
(imports only), shortnose sturgeon, and
Atlantic sturgeon. The information
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:52 Jan 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
collection may be used for proposed
listed species (e.g., corals).
The currently approved application
and reporting requirements are being
revised to include submission of Letters
of Intent under the General
Authorization via the existing online
application system, Authorizations and
Permits for Protected Species (APPS).
Respondents can currently only apply
for scientific research and enhancement
permits using APPS. This revision also
includes adding Atlantic sturgeon and
largetooth sawfish. NMFS listed
Atlantic sturgeon as endangered or
threatened under the ESA on April 6,
2012 (77 FR 5914 and 77 FR 5580).
Largetooth sawfish, which live outside
of U.S. waters, were listed as
endangered on August 11, 2011 (76 FR
40822). ESA Section 10 permits are
required for taking or importing these
ESA-listed species for scientific research
or enhancement purposes.
A number of coral species have been
proposed to be listed or reclassified
under the ESA by NMFS (77 FR 73220).
If such listings take effect, the scientific
research and enhancement application
instructions may be revised to clarify
information pertaining to taking ESAlisted coral species. However, revisions
pertaining to corals would not occur
until and if a final listing rule was
published.
II. Method of Collection
Permit applications, permit reports,
and inventory reports are available in
paper or electronic versions (online or
via email). Respondents may submit all
applications and forms by email, mail,
or facsimile. Respondents may also
submit scientific research and
enhancement permit applications via an

I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and extension of a currently

The Marine Mammal Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.; MMPA),
