Trade (CIT) entered final judgment
sustaining the final results of remand
redetermination pursuant to court order
by the Department of Commerce
(Department) pertaining to the
antidumping duty administrative review
of the order on ball bearings and parts
thereof (ball bearings) from the United
Kingdom for the period May 1, 2010,
through April 30, 2011. The Department

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 27, 2015, the Department
published the Final Results in the
above-referenced administrative
review.1 The Department selected the
highest rate from the petition (254.25
percent) as the dumping margin for
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW),
based on adverse facts available (AFA).
BMW of North America LLC appealed
the Final Results to the CIT, and on
March 2, 2017, the CIT remanded the
Final Results.2 Specifically, the CIT
remanded the Final Results, directing
that the Department either: (1) Provide
a new corroboration analysis for the
selected petition rate that is consistent
with the Department’s obligations and
the Court’s opinion; or (2) determine a
new AFA rate consistent with the
Department’s obligations and the
Court’s opinion.3
On May 12, 2017, the Department
issued its final results of
redetermination pursuant to remand.4
On remand, the Department determined
a new AFA rate of 126.44 percent for
BMW, consistent with the Remand
Order. On August 23, 2017, the CIT
sustained the Department’s Final
Redetermination.5
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,6 as clarified
by Diamond Sawblades,7 the Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit held
that, pursuant to section 516A(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department must publish a notice of
court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’
with a Department determination and
must suspend liquidation of entries
pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision.
The CIT’s August 23, 2017, judgment
constitutes a final decision of that court
that is not in harmony with the
Department’s Final Results. This notice
is published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will
continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the
expiration of the period of appeal, or if
appealed, pending a final and
conclusive court decision.

In the event the Court’s ruling is not
appealed, or if it is appealed and upheld
by a final and conclusive court decision,
the Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to assess
antidumping duties at a rate equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
listed above to all entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported
by BMW.
Cash Deposit Requirements
On March 26, 2014, the Department
revoked the antidumping duty order on
ball bearings and parts thereof from the
United Kingdom, effective as of
September 15, 2011.8 Therefore, no cash
deposit requirements will be imposed as
a result of these second amended final
results.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in

Final Notice of a New Category of
Special Use Permit Related to the
Operation of Desalination Facilities

Consumption
Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries (ONMS), National Ocean
Service (NOS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On January 12, 2017, NOAA
published a notice in the Federal
Register proposing two new categories
of special use permits (SUP) related to
the operation of desalination facilities,
and requesting public comment. NOAA
hereby gives public notice that the
Office of National Marine Sanctuaries
will adopt a new SUP category pursuant
to the requirements of Section 310 of the
National Marine Sanctuaries Act
(NMSA). The SUP category is for the
continued presence of a pipeline
transporting seawater to or from a
desalination facility. The second
category previously proposed for the use
of sediment to filter seawater for
desalination is removed. This notice
also includes background information
on the use of desalination in Monterey
Bay National Marine Sanctuary
(MBNMS) and ONMS regulations
applicable to activities that disturb
submerged lands or discharge into
sanctuaries, explains why a SUP is

appropriate for this category of actions,
explains why issuance of a new SUP
category will not result in additional
regulatory review, explains how the
SUP category will facilitate and
streamline the administration and
management of desalination permits, as
appropriate, and provides responses to
public comments received. At this time,
most proposed desalination activity in
sanctuaries occurs in MBNMS, and the
scientific studies used for
environmental impact and comparative
cost analyses were regionally based, so
the SUP category only applies to
MBNMS.
DATES: This notice becomes effective on
September 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Section 310 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act, 16 U.S.C. 1441, NOAA
issues this notice of a Special Use
Permit (SUP) category applicable to
Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary (MBNMS) for the continued
presence of a pipeline transporting
seawater to or from a desalination
facility.
I. Background
Introduction to Desalination Projects in
Sanctuaries
There is a growing public concern
about ensuring adequate water resources
to support populations along the
California coast. Communities have
been working together to develop
strategies for addressing the long-term
drought California has recently
experienced and the resulting water
scarcity. In the Monterey Bay area,
desalination has been identified as one
of the essential components of water
resource portfolios. NOAA’s initial
proposal was to apply the proposed SUP
categories across the National Marine
Sanctuary System, which could have
resulted in the SUP categories applying
to Olympic Coast and Florida Keys
national marine sanctuaries (the other
two sanctuaries adjacent to land such
that desalination facilities could be
constructed) in addition to MBNMS (82
FR 3751). However, since most
desalination activity in sanctuaries
occurs in MBNMS, and the scientific
studies used for environmental impact
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and comparative cost analyses were
regionally based, the SUP category only
applies to MBNMS.
Desalination is the process by which
salts and other minerals are removed
from seawater or brackish water to
produce potable fresh water. The
installation and operation of
desalination facilities near a national
marine sanctuary may involve access to
and use of sanctuary resources and
include activities prohibited by a
sanctuary’s regulations. One potentially
applicable prohibition is for activities
that cause the alteration of, or
placement of structures on or in the
seabed 15 CFR 922.132(a)(4). For
example, installation of certain
desalination facility structures such as
an intake or outfall pipeline on,
beneath, or attached to the ocean floor
would be prohibited by sanctuary
regulations and could only occur with
sanctuary approval. Another prohibition
potentially applicable to desalination
projects is discharging or depositing any
material or matter from within or into
sanctuaries 15 CFR 922.132(a)(2). The
disposal of brine effluent from a
desalination facility, and most other
materials, into sanctuary waters would
be prohibited unless approved by the
sanctuary.
Multiple federal, state and local
permits are typically required for any
construction and operation of
desalination facilities, including when a
facility is proposed near a national
marine sanctuary. In 2010, NOAA, in
collaboration with the California Coastal
Commission and California Central
Coast Regional Water Quality Control
Board, published specific guidelines for
new desalination plants in a report
titled Guidelines for Desalination Plants
in Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary (MBNMS 2010, https://
montereybay.noaa.gov/resourcepro/
resmanissues/pdf/050610desal.pdf).
These non-regulatory guidelines were
developed to help ensure that any future
desalination plants in or adjacent to
MBNMS would be sited, designed, and
operated in a manner that results in
minimal impacts to the marine
environment. These guidelines address
numerous issues associated with
desalination including site selection,
construction and operational impacts,
plant discharges, and intake systems.
The guidelines encourage the use of
subsurface intake systems and
associated pipelines, which have less
potential to cause environmental harm
to sensitive marine organisms and
habitats than other types of intakes.
Open water intakes have the potential to
trap organisms on the intake screens
(impingement) or impact organisms
