shipper review, we will instruct CBP to
discontinue the option of posting a bond
or security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of subject merchandise by
Jingmei. If the Department proceeds to
a final rescission of the new shipper
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate. If we
issue final results of the new shipper
review for Jingmei, we will instruct CBP
to collect cash deposits, effective upon
the publication of the final results, at
the rates established therein.
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.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(l)
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: June 20, 2016.

Sea. Specific goals are to: (1) Continue
and expand a study of humpback
whales (Megaptera novaeangliae); (2)
study sperm whale (Physeter
macrocephalus) movements, foraging
behavior, and depredation on longline
fishing gear; (3) study killer whale
(Orcinus orca) seasonal movements,
foraging, migration patterns and
depredation; and (4) enhance the body
of knowledge, stock structure, and
current status of other cetacean species
in the study area. In addition to the
three focus species, six other large
whale species and seven other small
cetaceans would be targeted for
research. The permit would be valid for
five years.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
