collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests, such as citrus canker, that

are new to or not widely distributed
within the United States.
Citrus canker is a plant disease that
affects plants and plant parts, including
fresh fruit of citrus and citrus relatives
(family Rutaceae). Citrus canker can
cause defoliation and other serious
damage to the leaves and twigs of
susceptible plants. It can also cause
lesions on the fruit of infected plants
and cause infected fruit to drop from
trees before reaching maturity. The
aggressive A (Asiatic) strain of citrus
canker can infect susceptible plants
rapidly and lead to extensive economic
losses in commercial citrus-producing
areas.
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service’s regulations to
prevent the interstate spread of citrus
canker are contained in ‘‘Subpart MCitrus Canker’’ (7 CFR 301.75–1 through
301.75–17). The regulations restrict the
interstate movement of regulated
articles from and through areas
quarantined because of citrus canker
and provide, among other things,
conditions under which regulated
nursery stock and fruit may be moved
interstate. The interstate movement of
regulated nursery stock and fruit from
quarantined areas involves information
collection activities including
compliance agreements, limited
permits, requests for Federal certificates,
and appeals.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.2 hours per
response.

for OMB approval. All comments will

the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de
minimis. If Shin Yang’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by this review and
for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.8
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Shin Yang for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.9
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date
of the final results of this review.

Preliminary Results of this Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period of May 1, 2018 through April 30,
2019:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shin Yang Steel Co., Ltd.................................... 1.71
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. If Shin Yang's weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review
when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de minimis. If Shin Yang's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Shin Yang
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the 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 by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Shin Yang will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review, (except if the ad valorem
rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which the
company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be
[[Page 44854]]
the rate established for the most recently-completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
9.70 percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation.\10\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notification to Importers

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 doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties

and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(4).
