Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we preliminarily
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific. See sections 771(5)(B) and (D)
of the Act regarding financial
contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the
Act regarding benefit; and section
771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
In making these findings, we have
relied, in part, on facts available and,
because the Government of the PRC 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 Act. For further
information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Adverse
Inferences’’ in the Preliminary
Determination Memorandum.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying the
Department’s conclusions, see

Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine a net
countervailable subsidy rate of 13.67
percent ad valorem for the RZBC
Companies, for the period January 1,
2011, through December 31, 2011.

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, 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/

Memorandum and the electronic
version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we preliminarily find
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
4 See
PO 00000
Order.
Frm 00016

specific. See sections 771(5)(B) and (D)
of the Act regarding financial
contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the
Act regarding benefit; and section
771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
In making these preliminary findings,
we are relying, in part, on facts available
because the Government of the PRC did
not act to the best of its ability to
respond to the Department’s requests for
information. Further, we are drawing an
adverse inference in selecting from
among the facts otherwise available. See
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For
further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Adverse
Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Additionally, we are relying on facts
available for three companies 5 because
they withheld requested information
did not act to the best of their ability to
respond to the Department’s quantity
and value questionnaire. To calculate
the ad valorem rate for these companies,
we have drawn an adverse inference in
selecting from among the facts
otherwise available.6 For derivation of
the adverse facts available rate, see ‘‘Use
of Facts Otherwise Available and
Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying all of the
Department’s conclusions, see
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
There are 49 companies for which a
review was requested and not
rescinded, but were not selected as
mandatory respondents. We are
assigning to those companies an average
of the subsidy rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents for 2010 and
2011, respectively. For further
information on the calculation of the
non-selected rate, see ‘‘Preliminary Ad
Valorem Rate for Non-Selected
Companies under Review’’ in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine the listed net
subsidy rates for 2010 and 2011:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
On May 30, 2007, NMFS published a
final rule (72 FR 29891) implementing
a requirement under the CPS FMP to
report any interactions that may occur
between a CPS vessel and/or fishing
gear and sea otters.
Specifically, these reporting
requirements are:
1. If a southern sea otter is entangled
in a net, regardless of whether the
animal is injured or killed, such an
occurrence must be reported within 24
hours to the Regional Administrator,
NMFS Southwest Region.
2. While fishing for CPS, vessel
operators must record all observations
of otter interactions (defined as otters
within encircled nets or coming into
contact with nets or vessels, including
but not limited to entanglement) with
their purse seine net(s) or vessel(s).
With the exception of an entanglement,
which will be initially reported as
described in No. 1 above, all other
observations must be reported within 20
days to the Regional Administrator.
When contacting NMFS after an
interaction, fishermen are required to
provide information regarding the
location, specifically latitude and
longitude, of the interaction and a
description of the interaction itself.
Descriptive information of the
interaction should include: Whether or
not the otters were seen inside or
outside the net; if inside the net, had the
net been completely encircled; did
contact occur with net or vessel; the
number of otters present; duration of
interaction; otter’s behavior during
interaction; and, measures taken to
avoid interaction.

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, 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 version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily find
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that
the subsidy is specific. See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act
regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act
regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding
specificity.
In making these preliminary findings, we are relying, in part, on
facts available because the Government of the PRC did not act to the
best of its ability to respond to the Department's requests for
information. Further, we are drawing an adverse inference in selecting
from among the facts otherwise available. See sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act. For further information, see ``Use of Facts Otherwise
Available and Adverse Inferences'' in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Additionally, we are relying on facts available for three companies
\5\ because they withheld requested information did not act to the best
of their ability to respond to the Department's quantity and value
questionnaire. To calculate the ad valorem rate for these companies, we
have drawn an adverse inference in selecting from among the facts
otherwise available.\6\ For derivation of the adverse facts available
rate, see ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences''
in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

For a full description of the methodology underlying all of the
Department's conclusions, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
There are 49 companies for which a review was requested and not
rescinded, but were not selected as mandatory respondents. We are
assigning to those companies an average of the subsidy rates calculated
for the mandatory respondents for 2010 and 2011, respectively. For
further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, see
``Preliminary Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies under Review''
in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the listed
net subsidy rates for 2010 and 2011:
