For purposes of this review Commerce preliminarily finds that all programs previously countervailed in prior segments of this proceeding, remain countervailable—that is, they provide a financial contribution within the meaning of sections 771(5)(B)(i) and (D) of the Act, confer a benefit within the meaning of section 771(5)(B) of the Act, and are specific within the meaning of 771(5A) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, including our reliance on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. As explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce relied on adverse facts available because the Government of China and both of the mandatory respondents did not act to the best of their ability in responding to Commerce’s requests for information, and consequently, has drawn an adverse inference, where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.9 For further information, see ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Rescission of Review, in Part For those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all review requests have been timely withdrawn, we are rescinding this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). These 214 companies are listed at Appendix II to this notice. 8 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum for a complete description of the scope of the order. 9 See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, in Part As explained above, on July 20, 2017, Commerce received timely no-shipment certifications from Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. Because there is no evidence on the record to indicate that these companies had entries of subject merchandise during the POR,10 pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we preliminarily intend to rescind the review with respect to Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd.11 A final decision regarding whether to rescind the review of this company will be issued with the final results of review. Preliminary Results Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: 12 Company Liaoning Zhongwang Group Co., Ltd .............................

Upon completion of the administrative review, consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. For the 214 companies for which this review is rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period January 1, 2016, through 10 See, e.g., Memorandum, ‘‘2016 Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the People’s Republic of China: Electronic U.S. Customs and Border Protection Data,’’ dated July 7, 2017, and accompanying Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. 11 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 12 Id., at ‘‘Use of Adverse Facts Available’’ and ‘‘Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Cooperative Companies Under Review.’’ E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2018 / Notices December 31, 2016, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice. Cash Deposit Requirements Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends upon publication of the final results to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated above for each company listed on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed firms, we intend to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Species Covered in This Notice The following listed species are covered in this notice: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): Threatened California Coastal (CC); endangered Sacramento River winter-run (SRWR); threatened Central Valley spring-run (CVSR). Coho salmon (O. kisutch): Threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Mar 14, 2018 Jkt 244001 Coast (SONCC); endangered Central California Coast (CCC). Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened Northern California (NC); threatened Central California Coast (CCC); threatened California Central Valley (CCV); threatened South-Central California Coast (S–CCC); endangered Southern California (SC). North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris): Threatened southern distinct population segment (sDPS). Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus): Threatened sDPS. Authority Scientific research permits are issued in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et. seq) and regulations governing listed fish and wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226). NMFS issues permits based on findings that such permits: (1) Are applied for in good faith; (2) if granted and exercised, would not operate to the disadvantage of the listed species that are the subject of the permit; and (3) are consistent with the purposes and policy of section 2 of the ESA. The authority to take listed species is subject to conditions set forth in the permits. Anyone requesting a hearing on an application listed in this notice should set out the specific reasons why a hearing on that application would be appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such hearings are held at the discretion of the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NMFS. Applications Received Permit 1606–2R Zach Larson and Associates is seeking to renew for five years a research permit that currently allows them to take juvenile SONCC coho in the Smith River, Morrison Creek, Ranch Bar, Saxton Bar Alcove, and Yontocket Slough in Northern California. The research may also cause them to take adult eulachon—a species for which there are currently no ESA take prohibitions. The study’s purpose is to establish baseline data for the comparability between pre-treatment and post-treatment project sites. Documenting salmonid and nonsalmonid species presence and their habitat use in privately owned portions of the Smith River is also needed to identify further habitat enhancement opportunities in the Smith River. This research would benefit the affected species by informing future restoration designs, providing data to support future enhancement projects, and helping managers assess the status of PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11505 salmonid populations in the sloughs and alcoves in the Smith River estuary. The researchers propose to capture fish using beach seines. Captured fish would be captured, handled, and released. The researchers do not intend to kill any listed fish, but some may die as an inadvertent result of the research. 15573–3R The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District (GCID) is seeking to renew for five years a research permit that currently allows them to take juvenile CVSR chinook, SRWR chinook, CCV steelhead and juvenile green sturgeon in the Sacramento River, California. The study’s purpose is to monitor restoration actions and to detect annular and cyclic population changes. The GCID project provides the longest and most complete anadromous fish data set on Sacramento River. As a result, the research would benefit the affected species by informing operational decisions for state and Federal water facilities and supplementing other out-migrant monitoring projects conducted in the Sacramento River Basin. The researchers propose to use a rotary screw trap to capture the targeted fish. They would then be anesthetized, identified to species, measured, have a tissue sample taken for genetic analysis (fin clip and scales), and allowed to recover in cool, aerated water before being released back to the stream. The researchers do not intend to kill any listed fish, but some may die as an inadvertent result of the research. 15730–2R The Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN) is seeking to renew for five years a research permit that currently allows them to take spawned adult carcasses and juvenile CCC coho, CC chinook and CCC steelhead in Lagunitas Creek and tributaries, California. The study’s purpose is to provide baseline data on habitat and juvenile and adult salmon abundance throughout the species’ range for CCCCoho. The research would benefit the affected species by providing data to inform future research, restoration, and conservation efforts. The researchers propose to use fyke nets to capture juvenile fish and observe adult fish during spawning surveys. Captured fish would be anesthetized, identified to species, measured, PIT tagged, have a tissue sample taken for genetic analysis (fin clip and scales), and allowed to recover in cool, aerated water before being released back to the stream. The researchers do not intend to kill any listed fish, but some may die as an inadvertent result of the research. E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 
purposes of this review Commerce preliminarily finds that all programs 
previously countervailed in prior segments of this proceeding, remain 
countervailable--that is, they provide a financial contribution within 
the meaning of sections 771(5)(B)(i) and (D) of the Act, confer a 
benefit within the meaning of section 771(5)(B) of the Act, and are 
specific within the meaning of 771(5A) of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
preliminary conclusions, including our reliance on adverse facts 
available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. As explained in the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum, Commerce relied on adverse facts available because 
the Government of China and both of the mandatory respondents did not 
act to the best of their ability in responding to Commerce's requests 
for information, and consequently, has drawn an adverse inference, 
where appropriate, in selecting from among the facts otherwise 
available.\9\ For further information, see ``Use of Facts Otherwise 
Available and Adverse Inferences'' in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review, in Part

    For those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all 
review requests have been timely withdrawn, we are rescinding this 
administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). These 
214 companies are listed at Appendix II to this notice.

Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, in Part

    As explained above, on July 20, 2017, Commerce received timely no-
shipment certifications from Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., 
Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. 
Because there is no evidence on the record to indicate that these 
companies had entries of subject merchandise during the POR,\10\ 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we preliminarily intend to rescind 
the review with respect to Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., 
Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. 
Ltd.\11\ A final decision regarding whether to rescind the review of 
this company will be issued with the final results of review.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 
assigned subsidy rates in the amounts shown above for the producer/
exporters shown above. Upon completion of the administrative review, 
consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 
days after publication of the final results of this review.
    For the 214 companies for which this review is rescinded, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate 
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, during the period January 1, 2016, through

[[Page 11503]]

December 31, 2016, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 
days after publication of this notice.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends 
upon publication of the final results to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated 
above for each company listed on shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of the final results of this administrative review. 
For all non-reviewed firms, we intend to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-
specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with the preliminary results of review within 
five days of its public announcement, or if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce 
preliminarily applied adverse facts available to Liaoning and Liaoyang, 
pursuant to section 776 of the Act, there are no calculations to
