SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Travel Promotion Act
of 2009 (TPA) was signed into law by
President Obama on March 4, 2010, and
was amended in July 2010 and
December 2014. The TPA established
the Corporation for Travel Promotion
(the Corporation), as a non-profit
corporation charged with the
development and execution of a plan to
(A) provide useful information to those
interested in traveling to the United
States; (B) identify and address
perceptions regarding U.S. entry
policies; (C) maximize economic and
diplomatic benefits of travel to the
United States through the use of various
promotional tools; (D) ensure that
international travel benefits all States
and the District of Columbia, and (E)
identify opportunities to promote
tourism to rural and urban areas
equally, including areas not
traditionally visited by international
travelers.
The Corporation (doing business as
Brand USA) is governed by a Board of
Directors, consisting of 11 members
with knowledge of international travel
promotion or marketing, broadly
representing various regions of the
United States. The TPA directs the
Secretary of Commerce (after
consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security and the Secretary of
State) to appoint the Board of Directors
for the Corporation.
At this time, the Department will be

appropriate expertise and experience
from specific sectors of the travel and
tourism industry to serve on the Board

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 7,
2016, the Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) published in the

Results of the New Shipper Review on
Fish Fillets from Vietnam.1 The 2014–
2015 Final Results of the New Shipper
Review on Fish Fillets from Vietnam
contained two errors.2 Specifically, the
period of review (‘‘POR’’) is incorrectly
stated as August 1, 2014, to January 1,
2015. The correct POR is August 1,
2014, to January 31, 2015. In addition,
we note the Vietnam-wide rate is $2.39/
kilogram, not $2.35/kilogram. As a
result, the 2014–2015 Final Results of
the New Shipper Review on Fish Fillets
from Vietnam are being corrected.
This correction to the Federal
Register notice is issued and published
in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 15, 1987, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on TRBs from
the PRC.1 In June 2016, the Department
received a properly-filed request for an
NSR from Zhejiang Jingli 2 during the
anniversary month of the antidumping
duty order, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).
In its request, Zhejiang Jingli certified
that it is a producer and exporter of
TRBs from the PRC. Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(i), Zhejiang Jingli also
certified that it did not export TRBs to
the United States during the period of
investigation (POI).3 In addition,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Zhejiang Jingli certified that, since the

initiation of the investigation, it has
never been affiliated with any PRC
exporter or producer who exported
TRBs to the United States during the
POI, including those respondents not
individually examined during the
investigation.4 As required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Zhejiang Jingli
certified that its export activities were
not controlled by the government of the
PRC.5 Finally, because Zhejiang Jingli
purchased in-scope parts from
unaffiliated suppliers, it also provided
these same certifications from its
suppliers, as required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B), (b)(2)(iii)(A), and
(b)(2)(iii)(B).6
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Zhejiang Jingli
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) The date on which it
first sold TRBs for export to the United
States and the date on which the TRBs
were first entered; (2) the volume of its
first shipment; and (3) the date of its
first sale to an unaffiliated customer in
the United States.7
The Department conducted a U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
database query to confirm that Zhejiang
Jingli’s shipment of subject merchandise
entered the United States for
consumption and that liquidation of this
entry had been properly suspended for
antidumping duties. The Department
also examined whether the CBP data
confirmed that this entry was made
during the POR. The information the
Department examined was consistent
with that provided by Zhejiang Jingli.
Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for an NSR
initiated in the month immediately
following the anniversary month will be
the twelve-month period immediately
preceding the anniversary month.
Therefore, the POR is June 1, 2015,
through May 31, 2016. Based on the
information provided by Zhejiang Jingli,
the subject merchandise upon which
Zhejiang Jingli’s NSR request is based
entered the United States during this
twelve-month POR.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), and after reviewing the
information on the record, the
Department finds that the request from
