Endangered and Threatened Species; Initiation of 5-Year Review, 53171-53172 [2014-21239]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 173 / Monday, September 8, 2014 / Notices rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES which is 90 days before the publication of this notice. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 10 for all suspended entries at an ad valorem rate equal to the weightedaverage amount by which normal value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy passthrough 11 where, as here, the product under investigation is also subject to a concurrent countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) investigation: (1) For those PRC exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above, the cash deposit rates will be the rates shown in that table; (2) for all combinations of PRC exporters/ producers of merchandise under consideration that have not received their own separate rate above, the cashdeposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of merchandise under consideration which have not received their own separate rate above, the cash-deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate applicable to the PRC exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These suspension of liquidation and cash deposit instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Furthermore, as stated above and consistent with our practice, we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price or constructed export price, less the amount of the CVD determined to constitute an export subsidy. In this LTFV investigation, we have not adjusted the preliminary cash deposit rates for export subsidies. With respect to the separate rate companies which were not individually investigated, we find that no export-subsidy adjustment to the rates is warranted because these companies are currently subject to the CVD rate calculated for ‘‘All Others’’ in the preliminary determination of the companion CVD investigation, and we did not include any export subsidies in 10 See Modification of Regulations Regarding the Practice of Accepting Bonds During the Provisional Measures Period in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations, 76 FR 61042 (October 3, 2011). 11 See sections 772(c)(1)(C) and 777A(f) of the Act, respectively. Unlike in administrative reviews, the Department calculates the adjustment for export subsidies in investigations not in the margin calculation program, but in the cash deposit instructions issued to CBP. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances: Certain Lined Paper Products from India, 71 FR 45012 (August 8, 2006), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:14 Sep 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 the calculation of that CVD rate.12 Accordingly, we made no adjustment to the AD cash deposit rate for the separate rate companies. With respect to the PRC-wide entity, we find that no exportsubsidy adjustment is warranted, as AFA, because the lowest export subsidy amount included in a CVD rate to which PRC-wide entries are currently subject is zero. Accordingly, we made no adjustment to the AD cash deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity. We are not adjusting the preliminary determination rates for estimated domestic subsidy pass through because we have no basis upon which to make such an adjustment. See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the section, ‘‘Section 777A(f) of the Act.’’ International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, we notified the ITC of our preliminary affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. If our final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after our final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: August 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires that 
we conduct a review of listed species at least once every five years. 
The regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require that we publish a notice in 
the Federal Register announcing those species currently under active 
review. This notice announces our active review of the southern right 
whale and sperm whale.

Public Solicitation of New Information

    To ensure that the 5-year review is complete and based on the best 
available scientific and commercial information, we are soliciting new 
information from the public, governmental agencies, Tribes, the 
scientific community, industry, environmental entities, and any other 
interested parties concerning the status of the southern right whale 
and sperm whale. The 5-year review considers the best scientific and 
commercial data and all new information that has become available since 
the listing determination or most recent status review. Categories of 
requested information include: (1) Species biology including, but not 
limited to, population trends, distribution, abundance, demographics, 
and genetics; (2) habitat conditions including, but not limited to, 
amount, distribution, and suitability; (3) conservation measures that 
have been implemented that benefit the species; (4) status and trends 
of threats; and (5) other new information, data, or corrections 
including, but not limited to, taxonomic or nomenclatural changes, 
identification of erroneous information contained in the List, and 
improved analytical methods.
    Any new information will be considered during the 5-year review and 
will also be useful in evaluating the ongoing recovery program for the 
southern right whale and sperm whale. For example, information on 
conservation measures will assist in tracking implementation of 
recovery actions.
