Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review in
the Federal Register.
Where the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we calculated
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rates by aggregating the
dumping margins calculated for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and
dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to each
importer (or customer).8 Where
Commerce calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the
total amount of dumping for reviewed
sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those
transactions, Commerce will direct CBP
to assess importer- (or customer-)
specific assessment rates based on the
resulting per-unit rates.9 Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem or per-unit rate is greater than
de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent),
Commerce will instruct CBP to collect
the appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation.10 Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.11
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for
Non-Examined Companies’’ section,
above.
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Husteel, Hyundai, or the
non-examined companies for which the
producer did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.12

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rates for the
companies listed in these final results
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins established in the
final results of this review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment in which the
company was reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 4.80 percent,13 the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to

SUMMARY: As a result of this second
sunset review, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) finds that
revocation of the countervailing duty
(CVD) order on raw flexible magnets
from the People’s Republic of China
(China) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 17, 2008, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
Order on raw flexible magnets from
China.1 On February 5, 2019, Commerce
initiated the second sunset review of the
Order pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2
On February 8, 2019, Commerce
received a notice of intent to participate
from Magnum Magnetics Corporation,
hereinafter referred to as Magnum or the
petitioner, within the deadline specified
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 Magnum, a
domestic producer of the subject
merchandise, claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act.4
On March 7, 2019, Commerce
received an adequate substantive
response from Magnum within the 30day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from the
Government of China or a respondent
interested party to this proceeding. On
March 20, 2019, Commerce notified the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(ITC) that it did not receive an adequate
substantive response from respondent
interested parties.6 As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.

Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and
(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce
(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed
incidental take authorization is
provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of such species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to here as ‘‘mitigation
measures’’). Monitoring and reporting of
such takings are also required. The
meaning of key terms such as ‘‘take,’’
‘‘harassment,’’ and ‘‘negligible impact’’
can be found in section 3 of the MMPA
(16 U.S.C. 1362) and the agency’s
regulations at 50 CFR 216.103.
NMFS’ regulations implementing the
MMPA at 50 CFR 216.107(e) indicate
that IHAs may be renewed for
additional periods of time not to exceed
one year for each reauthorization. In the
notice of proposed IHA for the initial
authorization, NMFS described the
circumstances under which we would
consider issuing a Renewal for this
activity, and requested public comment
on a potential Renewal under those
circumstances. Specifically, on a caseby-case basis, NMFS may issue a oneyear IHA Renewal when (1) another year
of identical or nearly identical activities
as described in the Specified Activities
section is planned or (2) the activities
would not be completed by the time the
IHA expires and a second IHA would
allow for completion of the activities
beyond that described in the Dates and
Duration section of the initial IHA. All
of the following conditions must be met
in order to issue a Renewal:
• A request for Renewal is received
no later than 60 days prior to expiration
of the current IHA;
• The request for Renewal must
include the following:
(1) An explanation that the activities
to be conducted beyond the initial dates
either are identical to the previously
analyzed activities or include changes
so minor (e.g., reduction in pile size)
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
26405
that the changes do not affect the
previous analyses, take estimates, or
mitigation and monitoring
requirements; and
(2) A preliminary monitoring report
showing the results of the required
monitoring to date and an explanation
showing that the monitoring results do
not indicate impacts of a scale or nature
not previously analyzed or authorized;
• Upon review of the request for
Renewal, the status of the affected
species or stocks, and any other
pertinent information, NMFS
determines that there are no more than
minor changes in the activities, the
mitigation and monitoring measures
remain the same and appropriate, and
the initial findings remain valid.
An additional public comment period
of 15 days (for a total of 45 days), with
direct notice by email, phone, or postal
service to commenters on the initial
IHA, is provided to allow for any
additional comments on the proposed
Renewal. A description of the Renewal
process may be found on our website at:
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/
marine-mammal-protection/incidentalharassment-authorization-renewals.
History of Request
On May 31, 2018, NMFS issued an
IHA to WETA to take marine mammals
incidental to pile driving activities
associated with the Downtown San
Francisco Ferry Terminal Expansion
Project, South Basin Improvements
Project in San Francisco, California,
effective from June 1, 2018, through
May 30, 2019 (83 FR 28826; June 21,
2018). On March 5, 2019, NMFS
received an application for the Renewal
of that IHA. As described in the
application for Renewal, the activities
authorized in the initial IHA would not
be completed by the time that IHA
expires and a second IHA would allow
for completion of the activities beyond
that described in the Dates and Duration
section of the initial IHA. As required,
the applicant also provided a
preliminary monitoring report (available
at www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/
incidental-take-authorization-sf-bayarea-water-emergency-transportationauthority-ferry-0) which confirms that
the applicant has implemented the
required mitigation and monitoring, and
which also shows that no impacts of a
scale or nature not previously analyzed
or authorized have occurred as a result
of the activities conducted.
