practicable, corroborate that information 

from independent sources reasonably at 

the Department’s disposal. The SAA 

states that ‘‘corroborate’’ means to 

determine that the information used has 

probative value. See SAA at 870. The 

Department has determined that to have 

probative value, information must be 

reliable and relevant. See Certain Tissue 

Paper Products from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results and 

Final Rescission, In Part, of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 58642 (October 16, 2007), 

and accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum at Comment 6. 

To be considered corroborated, 

information must be found to be both 

reliable and relevant. The AFA rate of 

112.64 percent that we are applying in 

the current review represents the 

highest rate from the petition in the 

LTFV investigation segment of this 

proceeding. See Tissue Paper Order. 

The Department corroborated the 

information used to calculate the 112.64 

percent rate in the LTFV investigation. 

See Notice of Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain 

Tissue Paper Products from the People’s 

Republic of China, 70 FR 7475 

(February 14, 2005). Furthermore, this 

rate was applied in several 

administrative reviews subsequent to 

the LTFV investigation, and no 

information has been presented in this 

segment of the proceeding that calls into 

question the reliability of this 

information. See Certain Tissue Paper 

from the People’s Republic of China:

Rescission of the 2007–2008 

Administrative Review and Intent Not to 

Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 15449

Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 

63806, 63807 (October 18, 2010). Thus, 

the Department finds that the 

information is reliable. 

With respect to the relevance aspect 

of corroboration, the Department will 

consider information reasonably at its 

disposal to determine whether a margin 

continues to have relevance. Where 

circumstances indicate that the selected 

margin is not appropriate as AFA, the 

Department will disregard the margin 

and determine an appropriate margin. 

See Fresh Cut Flowers from Mexico: 

Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 61 FR 6812, 

6814 (February 22, 1996) (where the 

Department disregarded the highest 

margin in that case as adverse best 

information available (the predecessor 

to facts available) because the margin 

was based on another company’s 

uncharacteristic business expense, 

resulting in an unusually high margin). 

Similarly, the Department does not 

apply a margin that has been 

discredited. See D & L Supply Co. v. 

United States, 113 F.3d 1220, 1221 (Fed. 

Cir. 1997) (finding that the Department 

cannot use a margin that has been 

judicially invalidated in its 

calculations). The AFA rate we are 

applying for the instant review was 

calculated based on export price 

information and production data from 

the petition, as well as the most 

appropriate surrogate value information 

available to the Department during the 

LTFV investigation. As there is no 

information on the record of this review 

that demonstrates this rate is not 

appropriate for use as AFA, we 

determine this rate has relevance. 

Because the AFA rate, 112.64 percent, 

is both reliable and relevant, we 

determine that it has probative value. As 

a result, we determine that the 112.64 

percent rate is corroborated to the extent 

practicable for the purposes of this 

administrative review, in accordance 

with section 776(c) of the Act, and may 

reasonably be applied as AFA to exports 

of tissue paper from MFVN for cash 

deposit purposes. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine that exports of 

tissue paper from Vietnam produced by 

MFVN using Chinese-origin jumbo rolls 

and/or cut sheets constitute subject 

merchandise, and therefore the 

following cash deposit rate applies to 

MFVN: 

CERTAIN TISSUE PAPER PRODUCTS

FROM THE PRC 

Producer/exporter Margin 

(percent)

Paper Products Company 

Limited (MFVN) ................. 112.64 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of the administrative review for all 

shipments of certain tissue paper 

products from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) A cash 

deposit rate of 112.64 percent will be 

required for tissue paper produced and/ 

or exported by MFVN; (2) for previously 

reviewed or investigated companies not 

listed above that have separate rates, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all other PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise, which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be PRC-wide rate of 112.64 percent; and 

(4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

This administrative review and notice 

are in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

27, 2009, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (74 FR 43679) that a 

request for a scientific research and 

enhancement permit to take white 

abalone had been submitted by the 

above-named organization. The 

requested permit has been issued under 

the authority of the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

The permit authorizes the captive 

maintenance, breeding and outplanting 

of white abalone, Haliotis sorenseni. 

The purpose of this research is to 

overcome key barriers to captive 

propagation of the endangered white 

abalone, to identify limitations to 

reproduction in wild animals, to further 

understand disease processes and how 

to mitigate them, and the most 

successful means of restoration. In 

addition, white abalone will be 

maintained at participating aquariums 

for education and reserve holding. No 

white abalone will be taken from the 

wild; animals will come from existing 

captive broodstock and their progeny. A 

permit is issued five years. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
