Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2011-2012
Document Number: 2013-05643
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-03-12
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
The Department of Commerce (the Department) is currently conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms (mushrooms) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) covering the period of review (POR) February 1, 2011, through January 31, 2012. We preliminarily determine that sales made by Blue Field (Sichuan) Food Industrial Co. (Blue Field) were below normal value (NV). With respect to Dujiangyan Xingda Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (Xingda) and Zhejiang Iceman Group Co., Ltd./Zhejiang Iceman Food Co., Ltd. (Iceman),\1\ these companies failed to establish that they are separate from the PRC-wide entity. As a result, the PRC-wide entity is now under review. We have preliminarily applied adverse facts available (``AFA'') to the PRC-wide entity because elements of the entity, Xingda and Iceman, failed to act to the best of their ability in complying with the Department's request for information in this review within the established deadlines and significantly impeded the proceeding. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program
Document Number: 2013-05636
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-03-12
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS announces that the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 42 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP) for review by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary).

Amendment 42 is necessary to eliminate redundant reporting requirements, standardize reporting across participants, and reduce costs associated with the data collection. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the FMP, and other applicable laws.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2013-05598
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-03-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 727 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of spanwise cracks and corrosion in the wing center box upper skin and rear spar upper chord between left buttock line (LBL) 70.50 and right buttock line (RBL) 70.50 at body station (STA) 870. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the wing center box for cracking around certain fastener rows on the rear spar upper chord horizontal flange; for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections for cracking of the rear spar upper chord radius; for certain other airplanes, repetitive inspections for damage, cracking, and corrosion of the pressure seal; and repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracking and corrosion of the upper skin and rear spar upper chord of the wing center box, which could result in loss of the airplane wing and consequent loss of control of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
Document Number: 2013-05597
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-03-12
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400, -401, and -402 airplanes. That NPRM proposed to require an inspection to determine if certain rudder feel trim units (RFTUs) are installed, an operational check for signs of seizure of affected parts, repetitive lubrication for certain RFTUs, and replacement of the RFTU if necessary. Installing replaced RFTUs with conformal bushings would terminate the repetitive lubrication requirements. That NPRM was prompted by reports of movement of the rudder pedals being impeded due to corrosion of the trunnion shaft of the RFTU. This action revises that NPRM by reducing compliance times, increasing compliance costs, expanding affected parts to include additional serial numbers and include those parts with a suffix `A,' and adding the condition of rough movement to the operational check. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct any sign of rough movement or seizure of the trunnion shaft and its bushing, which could cause a rudder control jam or a large and rapid alternating rudder input leading to a structural failure of the vertical fin. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.
