this is intended to be used, that was
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument will be used as an excitation
source for the study of intracellular
processes and structures at super
resolution. The experiments require a
high power pulsed excitation source at
a wavelength of 590 nm, and minimal
after pulse tail and sub 100 ps pulse

Reasons: The instrument will be used to
measure the precise position of the
Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage
ring electron beam with resolution of 50
to 100 nanometers from DC to 1000 kHz.
It can also turn by turn position to the
1 micrometer level for fast 271 kHz (the
turn by turn rate) beam position
measurement, without which the
required vertical beam stability of
400 = nm will not be met. The
instrument also has a daisy chain
capability to accumulate and send all
data from several bpm processors to the
fast-orbit-feedback processor, without
which data cannot be sent at 32 bpms
to the local fast-orbit feedback
processors at the same time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

AGENCY:
Initiation
On the basis of information available
to the Department of Commerce (the
Department), we are initiating an
antidumping duty (AD) investigation,
under section 732(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), to
determine whether common alloy
aluminum sheet (common alloy sheet)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Dec 01, 2017
Jkt 244001
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC) is being, or is likely to be, sold in
the United States at less than fair value
within the meaning of section 731 of the
Act. We are also initiating a
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation,
under section 702(a) of the Act, to
determine whether the Government of
the PRC is providing countervailable
subsidies (within the meaning of
sections 701 and 771(5) of the Act) with
respect to imports of common alloy
sheet from the PRC.
We have evidence indicating that the
United States price of common alloy
sheet from the PRC may be less than the
normal value of such or similar
merchandise and that imports of
common alloy sheet from the PRC may
be benefitting from countervailable
subsidies. We also have evidence that
imports of common alloy sheet from the
PRC may be materially injuring, or
threatening material injury to, the
domestic industry producing common
alloy sheet in the United States.
U.S. law provides two mechanisms
for the initiation of AD and CVD
investigations. Normally, AD and/or
CVD investigations are initiated under
sections 702(b) and 732(b) of the Act,
which specify that AD and/or CVD
proceedings ‘‘shall be initiated
whenever an interested party described
in subparagraph (C), (D), (E), (F), or (G)
of section 771(9) files a petition with the
administering authority, on behalf of an
industry, which alleges the elements
necessary for the imposition of the duty
imposed by {section 701(a) (for CVD) or
731 (for AD)}, and which is
accompanied by information reasonably
available to the petitioner supporting
those allegations.’’ Investigations may
also be initiated under sections 702(a)
and 732(a) of the Act, which specify that
AD and/or CVD investigations ‘‘shall be
initiated whenever the administering
authority determines, from information
available to it, that a formal
investigation is warranted into the
question of whether the elements
necessary for the imposition of a duty
under {section 701 (CVD) or 731 (AD)}
exist.’’ Although the Department has
rarely invoked this statutory authority,
the Department intends to make use of
all the tools available under U.S. unfair
trade laws, where such action is
warranted under the law, to ensure
potential unfair trade practices are
addressed. To that end, self-initiation of
certain AD and CVD cases can address
situations where industries are faced
with potentially dumped and/or
subsidized imports and where the
Department received comprehensive
detailed information. Although the
Department expects that future
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
investigations will normally proceed
based on petitions filed by or on behalf
of the industry, the Department will
take action under Sections 702(a) and
732(a), where warranted, to facilitate the
application of the appropriate trade
remedy for U.S. industries.
In this instance, we have information
warranting an investigation into
whether (1) the United States price of
common alloy sheet from the PRC may
be less than the normal value of such or
similar merchandise, (2) imports of
common alloy sheet from the PRC may
be benefitting from countervailable
subsidies, and (3) imports of common
alloy sheet from the PRC may be
materially injuring, or threatening
material injury to, the domestic industry
producing common alloy sheet in the
United States. Imports of common alloy
sheet from the PRC into the United
States have been significant since 2005
and have increased rapidly in the last
three years.1 Furthermore, in light of the
systemic and significant over-capacity
in the Chinese aluminum industry,
which has been extensively
documented, including in a recent
International Trade Commission (ITC)
investigation conducted under section
332(g) of the Act,2 the U.S. industry is
faced with the potential for even further
increases in exports from the PRC. In
light of the above, among other
considerations, the Department is selfinitiating AD and CVD investigations of
imports of common alloy sheet from the
PRC as provided for under sections
702(a) and 732(a) of the Act.
Period of Investigation
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.204(b), the
proposed period of investigation (POI)
for the CVD investigation is January 1,
2016 through December 31, 2016 while
the proposed POI for the AD
investigation is April 1, 2017 through
September 30, 2017.
