Intended Use: The instrument will be used for a basic scientific research project that will study neurtrinos, a type of elementary particle. There are three known types of neutrinos in the universe, although there could be more that have not yet been observed. The phenomena to be studied are the number of neutrino types and interaction cross-sections for the currently known neutrino types. Two detectors are required to perform the neutrino oscillation studies: The Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is one of these detectors. The primary objective of the SBN program is to look for evidence of neutrino oscillations, over distances of 1 kilometer or less, and if found to measure the oscillation parameters.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty order would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this notice. DATES: Applicable December 5, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Kolberg, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1785. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background On July 24, 1996, Commerce published the countervailing duty order on certain pasta from Italy.1 On August 1, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset review of this order, pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On August 16, 2018, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from A. Zerega’s Sons, Inc. (Zerega), Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. (Dakota Growers), Riviana Foods, Inc. (Riviana) (formerly, New World Pasta Company),3 and TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (TreeHouse) 4 within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).5 Zerega, Dakota Growers, Riviana, and TreeHouse claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of pasta in the United States. On August 31, 2018, Commerce received an adequate substantive response to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).6 On September 10, 2018, Commerce received a substantive response from the Government of Italy (GOI).7 However, we received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties who are producers or exporters of the subject merchandise. A government’s response alone, normally, is not sufficient for Commerce to conduct a full sunset review, unless the investigation was conducted on an aggregate basis.8 This investigation was conducted on a company-specific, rather than an aggregate, basis. On September 20, 2018, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade 1 See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Certain Pasta (‘‘Pasta’’) from Italy, 61 FR 38544 (July 24, 1996). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 83 FR 37463 (August 1, 2018) (Initiation Notice). 3 New World Pasta Company merged into Riviana Foods Inc. effective January 1, 2017. 4 TreeHouse acquired the American Italian Pasta Company in February 2016. 5 See letter from Zerega, Dakota Growers, Riviana, and TreeHouse, ‘‘Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Pasta from Italy—Domestic Interested Parties’ Notice of Intent to Participate,’’ dated August 16, 2018. 6 See letter from Zerega, Dakota Growers, Riviana, and TreeHouse, ‘‘Certain Pasta From Italy—FiveYear (‘‘4th Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order,’’ dated August 31, 2018. 7 See letter from the GOI, ‘‘Five-Year (Sunset) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Pasta From Italy: Response of the Government of Italy,’’ dated September 10, 2018. 8 See, e.g., Certain Pasta from Turkey: Final Results of Expedited Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 72 FR 5269 (February 5, 2007); Certain Carbon Steel Products from Sweden: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of Countervailing Duty Order, 65 FR 18304 (April 7, 2000).
