circumstances review, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), which will
set forth the factual and legal
conclusions upon which the
preliminary results are based, and a
description of any action proposed
because of those results. Pursuant to 19

Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the
Department may revoke an order (in
whole or in part) if it determines that
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product have expressed a lack of
interest in the order, in whole or in part.
In addition, in the event the Department
determines that expedited action is
warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii)
permits the Department to combine the
notices of initiation and preliminary
results. In its administrative practice,
the Department has interpreted
‘‘substantially all’’ to mean producers
accounting for at least 85 percent of the
total U.S. production of the domestic
like product covered by the order.20
Petitioners state that they agree with the
exclusion request, however, because
Petitioners did not indicate whether
they account for substantially all of the
domestic production of wooden
bedroom furniture, we are providing
interested parties with the opportunity
to address the issue of domestic
industry support with respect to this
proposed partial revocation of the order,
and we are not combining this notice of
initiation with a preliminary
determination pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii). As explained below,
this notice of initiation will afford all
interested parties an opportunity to
address the proposed partial revocation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject amendment to Permit No.
14856–02 is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations
governing the taking and importing of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216), 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 parts
222–226).
Permit No. 14856–02, first issued on
December 18, 2013 (79 FR 3346),
authorizes Dr. Mate to take 66 species of
cetaceans and 12 species of pinnipeds
in U.S. and international waters
worldwide for scientific research. The
purposes of the research are to: (1)
Identify migration routes; (2) identify
specific feeding and breeding grounds
for each species; (3) characterize local
movements and dive habits in both
feeding and breeding grounds, and
during migration; (4) examine the
relationships between movements/dive
habits and prey distribution, time of
day, geographic location, or physical
and biological oceanographic
conditions; (5) characterize whale
vocalizations; (6) characterize sound
pressure levels to which whales are
exposed; and (7) gather photoidentification and behavioral
information for species and situations
where little information has been
documented. Researchers are authorized
to conduct aerial and vessel surveys to
perform a suite of research activities
including: Observations, biopsy

sampling, implantable and suction-cup
tagging, photo-identification, behavioral
observation, passive acoustic recording,
post-tag monitoring, and/or import,
receive or export parts. The permit
expires December 31, 2018. Dr. Mate is
requesting the permit be amended to
increase the number of humpback
whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that
may be taken by Level B harassment
during surveys from 1,000 to 2,000
animals annually to account for all
approaches within 100 yards. No other
changes to the permit or manner of
research would occur.
A draft supplemental environmental
assessment (SEA) has been prepared in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), to examine whether
significant environmental impacts could
result from issuance of the proposed
scientific research permit. The draft
SEA is available for review and
comment simultaneous with the
scientific research permit application.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of this
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.

Background
On November 3, 2014, the Department
of Commerce (Department) published a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:52 Apr 01, 2015
Jkt 235001
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on seamless
refined copper pipe and tube from
Mexico covering the period November
1, 2013, through October 31, 2014.1 The
Department received a timely request
for an antidumping duty administrative
review from the petitioners (i.e., Cerro
Flow Products, LLC; Wieland Copper
Products, LLC; Mueller Copper Tube
Products, Inc.; and Mueller Copper
Tube Company, Inc.) for the following
companies: (1) GD Affiliates S. de R.L.
de C.V. (Golden Dragon); (2) IUSA, S.A.
de C.V. (IUSA); and (3) Nacional de
Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (Nacobre). The
Department also received timely
requests for an antidumping duty
administrative review from Golden
Dragon, IUSA, and Nacobre. On
December 23, 2013, the Department
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review with respect to
these companies.2
On January 27, 2015, March 17, 2015,
and March 19, 2015, IUSA, Golden
Dragon, and Nacobre, respectively,
withdrew their requests for an
administrative review. On March 23,
2015, the petitioners withdrew their
request for an administrative review for
IUSA and Nacobre. All of these
submissions were timely, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Rescission, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. In this case, all
requests were submitted within the 90day period and, thus, are timely.
Because these withdrawals of requests
for an antidumping duty administrative
review are timely, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding
this administrative review with respect
to IUSA and Nacobre. However, we are
continuing the administrative review
with respect to Golden Dragon because
the petitioners have requested a review
of this company, and we did not receive
a timely withdrawal of review request
from the petitioners with respect to it.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 79 FR 65176
(November 3, 2014).
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 79 FR
76956 (December 23, 2014).

assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: March 27, 2015.
