SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 1, 2013, we published a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on PVA from
Taiwan for the period of review March
1, 2012, through February 28, 2013.1 On
May 1, 2013, in response to a request
from Chang Chun Petrochemical Co.,
Ltd. (CCPC), in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (Act) and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the order on
PVA from Taiwan with respect to
CCPC.2
On May 24, 2013, CCPC withdrew its
request for an administrative review.3
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,

2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 25418 (May

Administrative Review Request’’ (May 24, 2013).

Jkt 229001
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review.’’
CCPC withdrew its request for review
within the 90-day time limit. Because
we received no other requests for review
of CCPC and no other requests for the
review of the order on PVA from
Taiwan with respect to other companies
subject to the order, we are rescinding
the administrative review of the order in
full. This rescission is in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Accordingly, the Department intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection 15 days after publication of
this notice.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder
to 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 Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: June 25, 2013.

Filing Information
As a courtesy, we are making
information related to sunset
proceedings, including copies of the
pertinent statute and Department’s
regulations, the Department’s schedule
for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past
revocations and continuations, and
current service lists, available to the
public on the Department’s Internet
Web site at the following address:
‘‘https://ia.ita.doc.gov/sunset/.’’ All
submissions in these Sunset Reviews
must be filed in accordance with the
Department’s regulations regarding
format, translation, and service of
documents. These rules, including
electronic filing requirements via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’), can be found at 19 CFR
351.303. See also Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Electronic Filing Procedures;
Administrative Protective Order
Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011).
This notice serves as a reminder that
any party submitting factual information
in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify
to the accuracy and completeness of that
information. See section 782(b) of the
Act. Parties are hereby reminded that
revised certification requirements are in
effect for company/government officials
as well as their representatives in all
AD/CVD investigations or proceedings
initiated on or after March 14, 2011. See
Certification of Factual Information to
Import Administration During
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Interim Final Rule, 76 FR
7491 (February 10, 2011) (‘‘Interim Final
Rule’’) amending 19 CFR 351.303(g)(1)
and (2) and supplemented by
Certification of Factual Information To
Import Administration During
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Supplemental Interim
Final Rule, 76 FR 54697 (September 2,
2011). The formats for the revised
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
certifications are provided at the end of
the Interim Final Rule. The Department
intends to reject factual submissions if
the submitting party does not comply
with the revised certification
requirements.
On April 10, 2013, the Department
published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for
Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10,
2013), which modified two regulations
related to antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings: the
definition of factual information (19
CFR 351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits
for the submission of factual
information (19 CFR 351.301). The final
rule identifies five categories of factual
information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21),
which are summarized as follows: (i)
Evidence submitted in response to
questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted
in support of allegations; (iii) publicly
available information to value factors
under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure
the adequacy of remuneration under 19
CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed
on the record by the Department; and (v)
evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). The final rule
requires any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under
which subsection of 19 CFR
351.102(b)(21) the information is being
submitted and, if the information is
submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information already on the
record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on
the record that the factual information
seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301
so that, rather than providing general
time limits, there are specific time limits
based on the type of factual information
being submitted. These modifications
are effective for all segments initiated on
or after May 10, 2013. Please review the
final rule, available at https://

extent that other regulations govern the
submission of factual information in a
segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these
time limits will continue to be applied.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the
Department will maintain and make
available a service list for these
proceedings. To facilitate the timely
preparation of the service list(s), it is
requested that those seeking recognition
as interested parties to a proceeding
contact the Department in writing
within 10 days of the publication of the
Notice of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews
can be very short, we urge interested
parties to apply for access to proprietary
information under administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) immediately
following publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate.
The Department’s regulations on
submission of proprietary information
and eligibility to receive access to
business proprietary information under
APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304–
306.
Information Required From Interested
Parties
Domestic interested parties defined in
section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b) wishing
to participate in a Sunset Review must
respond not later than 15 days after the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate.
The required contents of the notice of
intent to participate are set forth at 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance
with the Department’s regulations, if we
do not receive a notice of intent to
participate from at least one domestic
interested party by the 15-day deadline,
the Department will automatically
revoke the order without further review.
See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).

interested party, the Department’s
regulations provide that all parties
wishing to participate in a Sunset
Review must file complete substantive
responses not later than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal

required contents of a substantive
response, on an order-specific basis, are
set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note
that certain information requirements
differ for respondent and domestic
parties. Also, note that the Department’s
information requirements are distinct
from the Commission’s information
requirements. Please consult the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 20, 2012, notice was
published in the Federal Register (77
FR 58357) that a request for a permit to
conduct research on marine mammals
and sea turtles had been submitted by
the above-named applicant. The
requested permit has been issued under
the authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
A five-year permit was issued to
conduct scientific research on 38
species of cetaceans, four species of
pinnipeds, and five species of sea turtles
in the U.S. EEZ from Florida to Maine
and Canadian waters in the Bay of
Fundy and Scotian Shelf. Thirteen of
the 47 species to be targeted for research
are listed as threatened or endangered:
blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), fin
whale (B. physalus), humpback whale
(Megaptera novaeangliae), North
Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena
glacialis), sei whale (B. borealis), sperm
whale (Physeter macrocephalus),
bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus),
Western North Pacific stock of gray
whale (Eschrichtius robustus), green sea
turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill sea
turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata),
loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta),
Kemp’s ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys
kempii), and leatherback sea turtle
(Dermochelys coriacea). Types of take
include harassment by survey approach

during aerial and vessel-based surveys,
passive acoustic recording, behavioral
observations, photo-identification,
suction-cup tagging, and biopsy
sampling. Research platforms include
large ships, small vessels, and aircrafts.
Import and export of marine mammal
parts from the U.S. and other countries
is requested for research purposes.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
As required by the ESA, issuance of
this permit was based on a finding that
such permit: (1) Was applied for in good
faith; (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered
species; and (3) is consistent with the
purposes and policies set forth in
section 2 of the ESA.

submissions if the submitting party does not comply with the revised
certification requirements.
On April 10, 2013, the Department published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013), which modified two
regulations related to antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings:
the definition of factual information (19 CFR 351.102(b)(21)), and the
time limits for the submission of factual information (19 CFR 351.301).
The final rule identifies five categories of factual information in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows: (i) Evidence
submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted in
support of allegations; (iii) publicly available information to value
factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the adequacy of
remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on the
record by the Department; and (v) evidence other than factual
information described in (i)-(iv). The final rule requires any party,
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted and, if the
information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information already on the record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on the record that the factual
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The final rule also
modified 19 CFR 351.301 so that, rather than providing general time
limits, there are specific time limits based on the type of factual
information being submitted. These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after May 10, 2013. Please review the final
rule, available at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in this segment. To
the extent that other regulations govern the submission of factual
information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits
will continue to be applied.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a service list for these proceedings. To facilitate the
timely preparation of the service list(s), it is requested that those
seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding contact the
Department in writing within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties to apply for access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate. The Department's regulations
on submission of proprietary information and eligibility to receive
access to business proprietary information under APO can be found at 19
CFR 351.304-306.
Information Required From Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E),
(F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b) wishing to participate in
a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate. The required contents of the
notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii).
[[Page 39258]]
If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements. Please consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews.\1\ Please consult the Department's
regulations at 19 CFR Part 351 for definitions of terms and for other
general information concerning antidumping and countervailing duty
proceedings at the Department.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In comments made on the interim final sunset regulations, a
number of parties stated that the proposed five-day period for
rebuttals to substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the final sunset
regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As provided in 19 CFR
351.302(b), however, the Department will consider individual
requests to extend that five-day deadline based upon a showing of
good cause.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218 (c).
Dated: June 17, 2013.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
