Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
order on non-malleable cast iron pipe
fittings from the PRC. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect antidumping duty cash deposits
at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of
the order will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this notice of

751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the order not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
This five-year sunset review and this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On July 1, 2013, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
first sunset reviews of the antidumping
duty orders on sodium nitrite from
Germany and the PRC, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).1 As a result of
its reviews, the Department determined
that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on sodium nitrite from Germany
and the PRC would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and notified the ITC of the magnitude of
the margins likely to prevail should the
orders be revoked.2 On February 4,
2014, the ITC published its
determination, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on sodium
nitrite from Germany and the PRC
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to these
orders is sodium nitrite in any form, at
any purity level. In addition, the sodium
nitrite covered by these orders may or
may not contain an anti-caking agent.
Examples of names commonly used to
reference sodium nitrite are nitrous
acid, sodium salt, anti-rust, diazotizing
salts, erinitrit, and filmerine. The
chemical composition of sodium nitrite
is NaNO2 and it is generally classified
under subheading 2834.10.1000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). The American
Chemical Society Chemical Abstract
Service (CAS) has assigned the name
‘‘sodium nitrite’’ to sodium nitrite. The
CAS registry number is 7632–00–0.
While the HTSUS subheading, CAS
registry number, and CAS name are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of these orders is dispositive.

I. Abstract
This request is for a new data
collection to benefit marine resource
managers in the U.S. Virgin Islands
(USVI). The National Ocean Service
(NOS) proposes to collect data on the
resource usage patterns, knowledge and
values of the professional SCUBA
diving community relative to coral reefs
in the USVI. Data are needed to support
conservation and management goals as
defined under the Coral Reef
Conservation Act (CRCA) (16 U.S.C.
6401 et seq). The purpose of the CRCA
is to advance conservation of coral reef
ecosystems in the U.S. and Territories.
Specifically, the Act requires the federal
government to produce sound scientific
information on the condition of coral
reef ecosystems and threats to them, so
that reefs may be better preserved,
sustained and restored. The present data
collection is one component of a larger
project to produce a science-based
decision support tool that will be used
by resource managers to prioritize coral
reefs in the USVI for the purposes of
management under the CRCA.
Researchers propose to collect
information from the professional
SCUBA diving community in the USVI,
who are an important stakeholder group
with much knowledge about this marine
ecosystem. Information will be gathered
from this community because of their
experience diving on focal coral reefs
and reliance on such ecosystems for
their livelihood. The survey will
ascertain which coral reef areas are
needed/used most by persons in the
professional SCUBA diving community.
It will gather divers’ opinions on the
status and health of these coral reefs.
Finally, the survey will collect
information on the demographic
characteristics of professional SCUBA
diving community, along with the
values they have for local coral reefs.
Data gathered will be used to identify,
rank and describe key characteristics of
the coral reefs that are most important
to the professional SCUBA diving

community in the USVI, as well as their
perception of reef status and resilience.
The survey data will become one of
several layers of information combined
in a larger effort to objectively map the
important reefs in the USVI. Knowledge
of the locations of priority reefs,
together with an assessment of the
threats to those reefs, will provide
information to prioritize management
actions.

The data collection will take place
over a four month period and will be
comprised of a questionnaire as well as
a mapping exercise to be completed by
the respondent. The data will be
collected electronically using an online
survey instrument and associated
mapping tool.
