Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written product description, available in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with these results and hereby adopted by this notice, remains dispositive. 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 a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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 versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Intent Not To Revoke Order in Part We preliminarily find that Grobest has not satisfied the requirements of 19 CFR 351.222(b). Thus, under section 751 of the Act, we preliminarily determine not to revoke in part the order with respect to Grobest. Preliminary Results of Review The Department has preliminarily determined that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Exporter Grobest & I-Mei Industrial (Vietnam) ......................................

An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by the Department’s electronic records system, IA ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.4 Requests should contain: (1) The party’s name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. The Department will issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 57353 instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review. 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. Dated: September 10, 2013. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject modification to Permit No. 14726–01, issued on April 7, 2011 (76 FR 30309) is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222–226). Permit No. 14726–01 authorizes the permit holder to locate and describe areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico near Florida that serve as developmental habitat for pelagic-stage juvenile and neonate loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea turtles, to quantify threats to pelagic sea turtles, and to gather information on their lifehistory, genetics, movements, behavior, and diet. Researchers are authorized to capture by dip net, flipper and passive integrated transponder tag, measure, weigh, and oral swab sea turtles. A subset of animals may be skin biopsied, fecal sampled, lavaged or have a satellite tag attached. The permit holder requests authorization to (1) expand the action area to the Gulf of Mexico; (2) modify the method for satellite tag attachments; (3) change the sea turtle species, life stages, and number of animals that may be biologically sampled and satellite tagged; (4) add scute and blood sampling to the suite of procedures that can be performed on captured sea turtles; and (5) conduct vessel surveys for counts of leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1371 (a)(5)(D)), directs the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to authorize, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals of a species or population stock, by United States citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and, if the taking is limited to harassment, a notice of a proposed authorization is provided to the public for review. Authorization for the incidental taking of small numbers of marine mammals shall be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s), and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for subsistence uses (where relevant). The authorization must set forth the permissible methods of taking, other means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the species or stock and its habitat, and requirements pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring and reporting of such takings. NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as ‘‘. . . an impact resulting from the specified activity that cannot be reasonably expected to, and is not reasonably likely to, adversely affect the species or stock through effects on annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA established an expedited process by E:\FR\FM\18SEN1.SGM 18SEN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The subject modification to Permit No. 
14726-01, issued on April 7, 2011 (76 FR 30309) is requested under the 
authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 
1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and 
exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222-226).
    Permit No. 14726-01 authorizes the permit holder to locate and 
describe areas of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico near Florida 
that serve as developmental habitat for pelagic-stage juvenile and 
neonate loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), Kemp's 
ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), and 
leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) sea turtles, to quantify threats to 
pelagic sea turtles, and to gather information on their life-history, 
genetics, movements, behavior, and diet. Researchers are authorized to 
capture by dip net, flipper and passive integrated transponder tag, 
measure, weigh, and oral swab sea turtles. A subset of animals may be 
skin biopsied, fecal sampled, lavaged or have a satellite tag attached. 
The permit holder requests authorization to (1) expand the action area 
to the Gulf of Mexico; (2) modify the method for satellite tag 
attachments; (3) change the sea turtle species, life stages, and number 
of animals that may be biologically sampled and satellite tagged; (4) 
add scute and blood sampling to the suite of procedures that can be 
performed on captured sea turtles; and (5) conduct vessel surveys for 
counts of leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. Genetic and stable 
isotope analyses from this sampling would help Dr. Witherington 
determine the trophic history of pelagic neonate and neritic stage 
loggerhead sea turtles and assign a source rookery to these turtles. 
Satellite telemetry with the trophic histories would further describe 
the sea turtles' home range, habitat use, residency and intersection 
with fisheries.
