On May 31, 2017, the Department
received a timely request, in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), from Ester
Industries Ltd. (Ester), an exporter of
subject merchandise, to conduct an
administrative review of this CVD
order.2 Based upon this request, on July
6, 2017, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act, the Department
published in the Federal Register a

Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
We are rescinding this administrative
review for Dicha Sombrilla. In the
Preliminary Results, we made a
preliminary determination to rescind
the review for Dicha Sombrilla as it did
not have reviewable entries during the
POR.4 We received no comments with
regard to these preliminary results, and
are accordingly rescinding the review
for Dicha Sombrilla in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we find that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by
an ‘‘authority’’ that confers a benefit to
the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.5 For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, including our reliance, in
part, on adverse facts available pursuant
to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see
the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.6
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we find the
countervailable subsidy rates for the
producers/exporters under review to be
as follows:

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(2),
we intend to issue assessment
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date
of these final results of review, to
liquidate shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption, on or

Sombrilla, we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits at the
most-recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company,
as appropriate. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

Burden Hours: 31,033.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a current
information collection.
Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
responsible for management of the
nation’s marine fisheries. In addition,
NMFS must comply with the Atlantic
Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16
U.S.C. 971 et seq.), under which the
agency implements recommendations
by the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
as necessary and appropriate.
This information collection is being
revised to include modified trip
summary and cost-earnings logbook
forms for the Atlantic Tunas General
Category, Swordfish General
Commercial, and Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/
Headboat fisheries. Reporting burden
associated with logbooks for the
Atlantic Tunas General Category and
HMS Charter/Headboat fisheries has
been authorized under previous
versions of this information collection,
but the reporting burden associated with
the Swordfish General Commercial
permit is new as it was implemented
only in 2014, and the category has not
previously been selected for logbook
reporting.
NMFS collects information via vessel
logbooks to monitor the U.S. catch of
Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and
tunas in relation to the quotas, thereby
ensuring that the United States complies
with its domestic and international
obligations. The HMS logbook program,
OMB Control No. 0648–0371, was
specifically designed to collect the
vessel level information needed for the
management of Atlantic HMS, and
includes set forms, trip forms, negative
reports, and cost-earning requirements
for both commercial and recreational
vessels. The information supplied
through the HMS logbook program
provides the catch and effort data on a
per-set or per-trip level of resolution for
both directed and incidental species. In
addition to HMS fisheries, the HMS
logbook program is also used to report
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
48215
catches of dolphin and wahoo by
commercial and charter/headboat
fisheries by vessels that do not possess
other federal permits. Additionally, the
HMS logbook collects data on incidental
species, including sea turtles, which is
necessary to evaluate the fisheries in
terms of bycatch and encounters with
protected species. While most HMS
fishermen use the HMS logbook
program, HMS can also be reported as
part of several other logbook collections
including the Northeast Region Fishing
Vessel Trip Reports (0648–0212) and
Southeast Region Coastal Logbook
(0648–0016).
These data are necessary to assess the
status of HMS, dolphin, and wahoo in
each fishery. International stock
assessments for tunas, swordfish,
billfish, and some species of sharks are
conducted through ICCAT’s Standing
Committee on Research and Statistics
periodically and provide, in part, the
basis for ICCAT management
recommendations which become
binding on member nations. Domestic
stock assessments for most species of
sharks and for dolphin and wahoo are
used as the basis of managing these
species.
Supplementary information on fishing
costs and earnings has been collected
via the HMS logbook program. This
economic information enables NMFS to
assess the economic impacts of
regulatory programs on small businesses
and fishing communities, consistent
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), Executive Order 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and other
domestic laws.
Affected Public: Business and other
for-profit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@

Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ``authority'' that confers a benefit to the
recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\5\ For a full description
of the methodology underlying our conclusions, including our reliance,
in part, on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and, section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
\6\ See Steel Nails Vietnam Prelim, and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
