For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. In addition, for the
six companies that we determined had
no reviewable entries of the subject
merchandise in this review period, any
suspended entries that entered under
that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate.
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
review.

United States, Consol. Court No. 13–00168, Slip
Op. 16–48 (CIT May 11, 2016), which implicates
entries of diamond sawblades from the PRC from
the ATM Single Entity. A preliminary injunction
issued by the Court of International Trade in
Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers’ Coalition v.
United States, Court No. 13–00168, currently

that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that for the PRC-wide entity; (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only
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(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the return
or 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 sanctionable violation.
These final results of review are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the
Act.
Dated: June 7, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
18, 2015, notice was published in the
Federal Register (80 FR 28236) of a
request for a permit to import and
conduct research on shortnose sturgeon
early life stages had been submitted by
the above-named applicant. The
requested permit has been issued under

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).
In directed studies with endangered
shortnose sturgeon early life stages,
researchers will define the toxicities of
varying concentrations of industrial
contaminants, such as polychlorinated
biphenyl (PCB) and Dioxin (2,3,7,8TCDD). Shortnose sturgeon fertilized
embryos are authorized to be imported

Brunswick, Canada, to the NOAA
Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory in
Highlands, New Jersey, where the
controlled research will take place. The
laboratory tests will be conducted both
singly and in combination with 10
temperature regimes and varying levels
of dissolved oxygen, representing
environmental stresses. Surviving
progeny will be euthanized after tests
are completed each year. In subsequent
years of the five-year permit, the Permit
Holder will evaluate the toxic effects
and sensitivities of shortnose sturgeon
to other contaminants.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 117 of the MMPA (16 U.S.C.
1361 et seq.) requires NMFS and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to
prepare SARs for each stock of marine
mammals occurring in waters under the
jurisdiction of the United States. These
reports contain information regarding
the distribution and abundance of the
stock, population growth rates and
trends, the stock’s Potential Biological
Removal (PBR) level, estimates of
annual human-caused mortality and
serious injury from all sources,
descriptions of the fisheries with which
the stock interacts, and the status of the
stock. Initial reports were completed in
1995.
The MMPA requires NMFS and FWS
to review the SARs at least annually for
strategic stocks and stocks for which
significant new information is available,
and at least once every three years for
non-strategic stocks. NMFS and FWS
are required to revise a SAR if the status
of the stock has changed or can be more
accurately determined. NMFS, in
conjunction with the Alaska, Atlantic,
and Pacific Scientific Review Groups
(SRGs), reviewed the status of marine
mammal stocks as required and revised
reports in each of the three regions.
NMFS updated SARs for 2015, and
the revised reports were made available
for public review and comment for 90
days (80 FR 58705, September 20, 2015).
NMFS received comments on the draft
SARs and has revised the reports as
necessary. This notice announces the
availability of the final 2015 reports for
the 108 stocks that are currently
finalized. These reports are available on
NMFS’s Web site (see ADDRESSES).
Comments and Responses
NMFS received letters containing
comments on the draft 2015 SARs from
the Marine Mammal Commission
(Commission); five non-governmental
organizations (The Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS), Center for
Biological Diversity (CBD), Whale and
Dolphin Conservation (WDC), Turtle
Island Restoration Network (TIRN), and
the Hawaii Longline Association
(HLA)); and one individual. Responses
to substantive comments are below;
comments on actions not related to the
SARs are not included below.
Comments suggesting editorial or minor

clarifying changes were incorporated in
the reports, but they are not included in
the summary of comments and
responses. In some cases, NMFS’s
responses state that comments would be
considered or incorporated in future
revisions of the SARs rather than being
incorporated into the final 2015 SARs.
Comments on National Issues
Comment 1: The SAR administrative
process must be improved; it is
confusing, inefficient, and produces
final SARs that are not based upon the
best available scientific information.
Because of the inefficient process used
to produce SARs, the draft SARs fail to
rely upon the best available data (i.e.,
the most current data that it is
practicable to use), contrary to the
MMPA. For example, the draft 2015
SAR only reports data collected through
the year 2013, even though 2014 data
are readily available. We appreciate that
it is not practicable to incorporate into
SARs the absolute most recently
collected data; nevertheless, there is no
credible justification to continue the
present two-year delay in the use of
information.
Response: The marine mammal SARs
are based upon the best available
scientific information, and NMFS
strives to update the SARs with as
timely data as possible. In order to
develop annual mortality and serious
injury estimates, we do our best to
ensure all records are accurately
accounted for in that year. In some
cases, this is contingent on such things
as bycatch analysis, data entry, and
assessment of available data to make
determinations of severity of injury,
confirmation of species based on
morphological and/or molecular
samples collected, etc. Additionally, the
SARs incorporate injury determinations
that have been assessed pursuant to the
NMFS 2012 Policy and Procedure for
Distinguishing Serious from NonSerious Injury of Marine Mammals
(NMFS Policy Directive PD 02–038 and
NMFS Instruction 02–038–01) which
requires several phases of review by the
SRGs. Reporting on incomplete annual
mortality and serious injury estimates
could result in underestimating actual
levels. The MMPA requires us to report
mean annual mortality and serious
injury estimates, and we try to ensure
that we are accounting for all available
data before we summarize those data.
With respect to abundance, in some
cases we provide census rather than
abundance estimates and the accounting
process to obtain the minimum number
alive requires two years of sightings to
get a stable count, after which the data
are analyzed and entered into the SAR
