Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 133 / Thursday, July 13, 2017 / Notices
Trade Commission (the ITC) have
determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain inshell (raw) pistachios (pistachios) from
the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran)
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States. Therefore, the Department is
publishing a notice of continuation of
this order.
DATES: Effective July 13, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 17, 1986, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on certain in-shell pistachios from Iran.1
On April 1, 2016, the Department
initiated 2 and the ITC instituted 3 the
second five-year (sunset) review of the
Order pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
No respondent interested party
submitted a timely substantive
response. Pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order. As a result
of this sunset review, the Department
determined that revocation of the Order
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
margins of dumping likely to prevail
should the order be revoked, pursuant
to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(b) and (c)
of the Act.4
On June 30, 2017, the ITC published
its determination, pursuant to section
751(c) and 752 of the Act, that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United Sates within a reasonably
foreseeable time.5
Scope of the Order
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The products covered by the order are
raw, in-shell pistachio nuts from which
the hulls have been removed, leaving
the inner hard shells, and edible meats
from Iran.6 This merchandise is
provided for in subheading
0802.51.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
urposes, the written description of the
scope of this order is dispositive.
National Institute of Standards and
Technology
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, pursuant
to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(a), the Department hereby
orders the continuation of the Order.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect cash deposits at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of the Order will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of this order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation notice.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and
published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 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 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), and the regulations governing
the taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR 222–226).
The proposed permit would authorize
takes of the above listed species during
vessel surveys to gather information
currently lacking regarding their
ecology, behavior and population status
to enable information-based resource
management in southeastern Alaska
especially Glacier Bay National Park &
Preserve (GBNPP). The core study area
is Glacier Bay/Icy Strait, but includes all
nearshore waters of the mainland and
Alexander Archipelago. Takes by
harassment may occur by close
approach for vessel surveys, photoidentification, behavioral observation,
collection of feces/sloughed skin, biopsy
sampling and passive acoustic
recording. The maximum number of
annual approaches to whales (risking
Level B harassment) will be 2500
humpback whales, 500 killer whales, 20
minke whales and 20 gray whales.
Biopsy takes on 50 humpback and 50
killer whales are also requested. 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
