Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 159 / Friday, August 16, 2013 / Notices
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

results of review, or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to dumping
margins.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.7 This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by CP Kelco
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Appendix I
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of CMC from
Finland entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for CP Kelco Oy will be the
rate established in the final results of
this administrative review except if the
rate is de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
merchandise exported by manufacturers
or exporters not covered in this review
but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period in
which the manufacturer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue investigation but the manufacturer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other manufacturers or exporters
will continue to be 6.65 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.8 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

I. Introduction
The Resources and Ecosystem
Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities,
and Revived Economies of the Gulf
Coast States Act (RESTORE Act) of 2012
authorized the establishment of a
science, observation, monitoring and
technology program on ecosystem
restoration (RESTORE Act Science
Program). Under Section 1604 of the
RESTORE Act, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) has been designated with
responsibilities to establish the Program
which is to be funded by 2.5% of the
Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Trust
Fund plus twenty-five percent of the
Trust Fund accrued interest.

[FR Doc. 2013–19732 Filed 8–15–13; 8:45 am]
SUMMARY:
2012, of a new competitive science
program to ensure the long-term
sustainability of the Gulf of Mexico
ecosystem and the communities that
depend on it.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Russ
Beard, Acting Program Director, Gulf
Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science,
Observation, Monitoring, and
Technology Program, National Centers
for Coastal Ocean Science, NOS.

Phone: 228.688.2936.
Mailing Address: 1021 Balch
Boulevard, Suite 1003, Stennis Space
Center, MS 39529.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Program will be housed within
the National Ocean Service’s National
Center for Coastal Ocean Science
(NCCOS). NCCOS’s experience running
competitive science programs focused
on pressing coastal and ocean issues, its
experience working in the Gulf of
Mexico, and its demonstrated ability to
transfer research results to resource
managers makes it a logical home for the
Program. In addition, NOAA established
an Executive Oversight Board consisting
of senior executives representing each of
the NOAA Line Offices, as well as a
senior executive from the US Fish and
Wildlife Service, to oversee continuing
development and implementation of the
program, provide strategic and
programmatic guidance to a Program
Support Team and eventual approval of
the Science and Engagement Plans
developed by the Support Team. The
Program and the Executive Oversight
Board will consult with the RESTORE
Act Council, science advisory bodies
that may be established pursuant to the
Act, and other entities as deemed
appropriate by NOAA or the
Department of Commerce.
