Background
On April 16, 2018, Commerce
published its Final Determination in the
LTFV investigation of cold-drawn
mechanical tubing from India.1 In the
Final Determination, Commerce applied
a rate based on adverse facts available
to Goodluck after finding that the
company failed to accurately report
product ‘‘control numbers’’ in its home
market sales and cost of production
databases.2 Although Goodluck
attempted to submit new databases at
the start of Commerce’s verification of
Goodluck’s questionnaire responses,
Commerce declined to accept the
revised information, determining that
such a revision did not constitute a
‘‘minor correction.’’ 3 Therefore,
Commerce assigned Goodluck a rate of
33.80 percent. On June 11, 2018,
Commerce published its AD Order on
cold-drawn mechanical tubing from
India.4
Goodluck appealed Commerce’s Final
Determination. On August 13, 2019, the
CIT remanded the Final Determination
to Commerce and instructed Commerce
to consider the revised databases
provided by Goodluck.5 On remand,
and under respectful protest, Commerce
issued its final results of
redetermination in accordance with the
Court’s order, calculating an estimated
weighted-average dumping margin of
0.00 percent for Goodluck.6 In
calculating the revised dumping margin
for Goodluck, Commerce relied on the
corrections provided by Goodluck. On
April 30, 2020, the CIT sustained
Commerce’s Final Remand
Redetermination.7 On May 27, 2020,
Commerce published the Amended
Final/Timken Notice relating to the

CIT’s decision, in which we issued an
amended final determination, and
partially revoked the Order with respect
to Goodluck.8
The petitioners 9 challenged the CIT’s
decision sustaining the Final Remand
Redetermination and appealed the
decision to the CAFC. On August 31,
2021, the CAFC reversed and remanded
the CIT’s decision affirming the Final
Remand Redetermination.10 Following
the CAFC’s decision, on November 17,
2021, the CIT subsequently vacated its
Remand Order and sustained
Commerce’s original Final
Determination.11
Amended Final Determination
Commerce is hereby revising the
Amended Final Determination, which
was issued pursuant to the CIT’s nowvacated judgement in the Amended
Final/Timken Notice. Consistent with
Commerce’s decision in the LTFV
investigation, Commerce is revising the
Amended Final Determination and
assigning the following dumping margin
to Goodluck:
Estimated
weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
Exporter
Goodluck India Limited ............................................................................................................................................
33.70
Commerce will invite parties to provide
comments relating to our approach in
conducting these administrative reviews
(including, for example, whether
Goodluck should be treated as a
mandatory respondent or a non-selected
company). A memorandum outlining
the timeline for comments will be
placed on the records of each
administrative review segment.
In the Amended Final/Timken Notice,
Commerce amended the final
determination and AD Order in this
proceeding and stated that ‘‘{a}s a result
of this amended final determination, in
which Commerce has calculated an
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin of 0.00 percent for Goodluck,
Commerce is hereby excluding
merchandise produced and exported by
Goodluck from the AD Order.’’ 12 As a
result of the CIT’s decision at that time,
we discontinued the first administrative
review with respect to Goodluck 13 and
we did not conduct a review of entries
both produced and exported by
Goodluck in the second administrative
review.14
However, as discussed above, the
CAFC reversed the CIT’s decision, and,
as a result, Goodluck is now subject to
the AD Order. Therefore, we are
resuming the first administrative review
with respect to Goodluck and are also
reinitiating the second administrative
review with respect to all entries
produced and exported by Goodluck
during the POR.15 We will not revisit
these reviews for any company other
than Goodluck.
Given the unique circumstances at
issue, Commerce is permitting parties
an opportunity to withdraw their
request(s) for either administrative
review, if they wish to do so. Any such
withdrawal requests must be submitted
within 14 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice on the record of
the respective administrative review in
ACCESS.16 Parties are reminded that
such requests are to be filed
electronically using ACCESS and that
electronically filed documents must be
received successfully in their entirety by
5 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. If
all review requests are withdrawn for
Goodluck for either administrative
review, Commerce intends to issue a
subsequent Federal Register notice
rescinding the administrative review
with respect to Goodluck and directing
CBP to assess final antidumping duties
at 33.70 percent, the cash deposit rate
that would have prevailed in the
absence of the now-vacated CIT
decision.

of review requests, if there are any
remaining review requests for Goodluck,

Notice of Assessment
Commerce did not receive a request
for an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order with respect to
Goodluck for the period of June 1, 2020,
through May 31, 2021, i.e., the third

duties on merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption at 33.70 percent, the cash
deposit rate that would have prevailed
in the absence of the now-vacated CIT
decision.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will issue revised cash
deposit instructions to CBP. Effective
September 10, 2021, Goodluck’s cash
deposit rate will be 33.70 percent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
Background
NMFS Alaska Region administers the
IFQ Program in the North Pacific. The
IFQ Program is a limited access system
authorized by the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the
Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982
(Halibut Act). Fishing under the IFQ
Program began in March 1995.
Regulations implementing the IFQ
Program are set forth at 50 CFR part 679.
In 1996, the Magnuson-Stevens Act
was amended to, among other purposes,
require the Secretary of Commerce to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:20 Dec 28, 2021
Jkt 256001
‘‘collect a fee to recover the actual costs
directly related to the management and
enforcement of any . . . individual
quota program.’’ This requirement was
further amended in 2006 to include
collection of the actual costs of data
collection and to replace the reference
to ‘‘individual quota program’’ with a
more general reference to ‘‘limited
access privilege program’’ at
§ 304(d)(2)(A) of the Act. Section
304(d)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
also specifies an upper limit on these
fees, when the fees must be collected,
and where the fees must be deposited.
On March 20, 2000, NMFS published
regulations at § 679.45 to implement
cost recovery for the IFQ Program (65
FR 14919). Under the regulations, an
IFQ permit holder must pay a cost
recovery fee for every pound of IFQ
halibut and sablefish that is landed on
their IFQ permit(s). The IFQ permit
holder is responsible for self-collecting
the fee for all IFQ halibut and sablefish
landings on their permit(s). The IFQ
permit holder is also responsible for
submitting IFQ fee payments(s) to
NMFS on or before January 31 of the
year following the year in which the IFQ
landings were made. The total dollar
amount of the fee is determined by
multiplying the NMFS published fee
percentage by the ex-vessel value of all
IFQ landings made on the permit(s)
during the IFQ fishing year. As required
by § 679.45(d)(1) and (d)(3)(i), NMFS
publishes this notice of the fee
percentage for the IFQ halibut and
sablefish fisheries in the Federal
Register during or prior to the last
quarter of each year.
Standard Prices
The fee is based on the sum of all
payments made to fishermen for the sale
of the fish during the year. This
includes any retro-payments (e.g.,
bonuses, delayed partial payments,
post-season payments) made to the IFQ
permit holder for previously landed IFQ
halibut or sablefish.
For purposes of calculating IFQ cost
recovery fees, NMFS distinguishes
between two types of ex-vessel value:
Actual and standard. Actual ex-vessel
value is the amount of all compensation,
monetary or non-monetary, that an IFQ
permit holder received as payment for
his or her IFQ fish sold. Standard exvessel value is the default value used to
calculate the fee. IFQ permit holders
have the option of using actual ex-vessel
value if they can satisfactorily document
it; otherwise, the standard ex-vessel
value is used.
Section 679.45(b)(3)(iii) requires the
Regional Administrator to publish IFQ
standard prices during the last quarter
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
74071
of each calendar year. These standard
prices are used, along with estimates of
IFQ halibut and IFQ sablefish landings,
to calculate standard ex-vessel values.
The standard prices are described in
U.S. dollars per IFQ equivalent pound
for IFQ halibut and IFQ sablefish
landings made during the year.
According to § 679.2, IFQ equivalent
pound(s) means the weight amount,
recorded in pounds, and calculated as
round weight for sablefish and headed
and gutted weight for halibut, for an IFQ
landing. The weight of halibut in
pounds landed as guided angler fish is
converted to IFQ equivalent pound(s) as
specified in § 300.65(c)(5)(ii)(E). NMFS
calculates the standard prices to closely
reflect the variations in the actual exvessel values of IFQ halibut and IFQ
sablefish landings by month and port or
port-group. The standard prices for IFQ
halibut and IFQ sablefish are listed in
the tables that follow the next section.
Data from ports are combined as
necessary to protect confidentiality.
Fee Percentage
NMFS calculates the fee percentage
each year according to the factors and
methods described at § 679.45(d)(2).
NMFS determines the fee percentage
that applies to landings made in the
previous year by dividing the total costs
directly related to the management, data
collection, and enforcement of the IFQ
Program (management costs) during the
previous year by the total standard exvessel value of halibut and sablefish IFQ
landings made during the previous year
(fishery value). NMFS captures the
actual management costs associated
with certain management, data
collection, and enforcement functions
through an established accounting
system that allows staff to track labor,
travel, contracts, rent, and procurement.
NMFS calculates the fishery value as
described under the section Standard
Prices.
Using the fee percentage formula
described above, the percentage of
management costs to fishery value for
the 2021 calendar year is 2.3 percent of
the standard ex-vessel value. An IFQ
permit holder is to use the fee
percentage of 2.3 percent to calculate
their fee for IFQ equivalent pound(s)
landed during the 2021 halibut and
sablefish IFQ fishing season. An IFQ
permit holder is responsible for
submitting the 2021 IFQ fee payment to
NMFS on or before January 31, 2022.
Payment must be made in accordance
with the payment methods set forth in
§ 679.45(a)(4)(iv). Payment can be made
using credit card, debit card, or
electronic check via the pay.gov
program. NMFS does not accept credit

Amended Final Determination
Commerce is hereby revising the Amended Final Determination, which
was issued pursuant to the CIT's now-vacated judgement in the Amended
Final/Timken Notice. Consistent with Commerce's decision in the LTFV
investigation, Commerce is revising the Amended Final Determination and
assigning the following dumping margin to Goodluck:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated
weighted- Cash deposit
Exporter average rate (adjusted
dumping margin for offset(s))
(percent) (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodluck India Limited.................. 33.80 33.70

Amended Antidumping Duty Order
As a result of this amended final determination, in which Commerce
assigned a dumping margin of 33.80 percent to Goodluck, Commerce is
reinstating the Order with respect to Goodluck.
Resumption of Discontinued Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews for
Goodluck
In the Amended Final/Timken Notice, Commerce amended the final
determination and AD Order in this proceeding and stated that
``{a{time} s a result of this amended final determination, in which
Commerce has calculated an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of
0.00 percent for Goodluck, Commerce is hereby excluding merchandise
produced and exported by Goodluck from the AD Order.'' \12\ As a result
of the CIT's decision at that time, we discontinued the first
administrative review with respect to Goodluck \13\ and we did not
conduct a review of entries both produced and exported by Goodluck in
the second administrative review.\14\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, as discussed above, the CAFC reversed the CIT's decision,
and, as a result, Goodluck is now subject to the AD Order. Therefore,
we are resuming the first administrative review with respect to
Goodluck and are also reinitiating the second administrative review
with respect to all entries produced and exported by Goodluck during
the POR.\15\ We will not revisit these reviews for any company other
than Goodluck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ The first review covers the period November 22, 2017,
through May 31, 2019. The second review covers the period June 1,
2019, through May 31, 2020. When Commerce previously conducted the
second administrative review, we only examined entries of subject
merchandise produced, but not exported by, Goodluck, and entries of
subject merchandise exported, but not produced by, Goodluck. Id.

Given the unique circumstances at issue, Commerce is permitting
parties an opportunity to withdraw their request(s) for either
administrative review, if they wish to do so. Any such withdrawal
requests must be submitted within 14 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice on the record of the respective administrative
review in ACCESS.\16\ Parties are reminded that such requests are to be
filed electronically using ACCESS and that electronically filed
documents must be received successfully in their entirety by 5 p.m.
Eastern Time on the due date. If all review requests are withdrawn for
Goodluck for either administrative review, Commerce intends to issue a
subsequent Federal Register notice rescinding the administrative review
with respect to Goodluck and directing CBP to assess final antidumping
duties at 33.70 percent, the cash deposit rate that would have
prevailed in the absence of the now-vacated CIT decision.

Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System, and is

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the period for withdrawal of review requests, if there
are any remaining review requests for Goodluck, Commerce will invite
parties to provide comments relating to our approach in conducting
these administrative reviews (including, for example, whether Goodluck
should be treated as a mandatory respondent or a non-selected company).
A memorandum outlining the timeline for comments will be placed on the
records of each administrative review segment.
Notice of Assessment
Commerce did not receive a request for an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order with respect to Goodluck for the period of
June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021, i.e., the third administrative
review. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate all entries for Goodluck and to assess
antidumping duties on merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption at 33.70 percent, the cash deposit rate that would have
prevailed in the absence of the now-vacated CIT decision.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP.
Effective September 10, 2021, Goodluck's cash deposit rate will be
33.70 percent.
