SUMMARY: On June 18, 2013, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) sustained the Department of Commerce’s (the Department’s) final results of remand redetermination in which it determined that critical circumstances did not exist during the less than fair value investigation pursuant to the CIT’s remand order in Zhejiang Native Produce & Animal ByProducts Import & Export Corp. v. United States, Court No. 02–00057, Slip Op. 11–110 (September 6, 2011).1 Consistent with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (Timken), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (Diamond Sawblades), the Department is notifying the public that the final CIT judgment in this case is not in harmony with the Department’s Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value; Honey from the People’s Republic of China, 66 FR 50608 (October 4, 2001) (Final Determination) and is amending its Final Determination. DATES: Effective Date: July 8, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Drury or Angelica Mendoza, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Room 7850, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–0195 or (202) 482–3019, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: Background On March 22, 2013, the Department issued the Remand Results. The Department provided an extensive 1 See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand Zhejiang Native Produce & Animal By-Products Import & Export Corp., et al. v. United States Court No. 02–00057 (March 22, 2012) (Remand Results). VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:27 Jul 05, 2013 Jkt 229001 background of this case in its previous results of redetermination pursuant to remand.2 In the Remand Results, the Department found that that importers did not know, or could not have known, that honey from the People’s Republic of China was being sold at less than fair value, and that therefore no critical circumstances existed for any entity examined during the investigation. On June 18, 2013, the CIT sustained the Department’s Remand Results, stating that the Department’s determination that critical circumstances did not exist was supported by substantial evidence and was in accordance with the law.3 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond Sawblades, the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s June 18, 2013, judgment in this case constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Final Determination. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. Amended Final Less Than Fair Value Determination Because there is now a final court decision with respect to this case, the Department amends its final less than fair value determination to reflect that critical circumstances did not exist for any company or entity in the investigation. In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the Federal Circuit, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate entries that were suspended, due to the original affirmative critical circumstances finding, without regard to antidumping duties, and to lift suspension of liquidation of such entries.4 2 See Zhejiang Native Produce & Animal ByProducts Import & Export Corp., et al., v.

The application was submitted by members of the Pacific sardine fishing industry who request an exemption from seasonal closures of the sardine directed fishery to conduct a survey designed to estimate the population size of Pacific sardine. NMFS requests public comment on the application. DATES: Comments must be received by July 23, 2013. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on this notice identified by 0648–XC743 by any one of the following methods: • Mail: Rodney R. McInnis, Regional Administrator, Southwest Region, NMFS, 501 West Ocean Blvd., Suite 4200, Long Beach, CA 90802. • Fax: (562) 980–4047, Attn: Joshua Lindsay. SUMMARY: A copy of the application can viewed at the following Web site https:// swr.nmfs.noaa.gov/fmd/cps/; or by contacting Joshua Lindsay, Southwest Region, NMFS, (562) 980–4034. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 17, 2013, NMFS published a final rule to implement the harvest guideline (HG) and annual specifications for the 2013 Pacific sardine fishing season off the U.S. West Coast (78 FR 36117). As part of these management measures, 3,000 metric tons (mt) of the maximum harvest guideline (HG) was subtracted and set aside for potential EFPs. This 3,000 mt set-aside was intended to allow for potential research fishing in the second seasonal period (July 1– September 14, 2013) to occur if that period’s directed fishery allocation is reached and directed fishing is closed. An EFP would allow the fishing activities proposed by the applicants to occur when directed fishing is not allowed. At the March 2013, Council FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 40697 meeting, the Council recommended that NMFS issue an EFP for the total 3,000 mt of the 3,000 mt initially set aside. The applicants proposed the use of 3,000 mt to replicate summer surveys conducted under EFP’s approved in 2009–2012. One of the goals set forth in the EFP application is the development of an index of biomass for Pacific sardine, with the desire that this index be included in the subsequent Pacific sardine stock assessment. If NMFS does not issue this EFP, then the set-aside will be re-allocated to the third period’s directed harvest allocation. Likewise any amount of the set-aside allocated to an EFP for use during the closed fishing time in the second allocation period (prior to September 15), but not utilized, will roll into the third allocation period’s directed fishery.
