NSF-funded research by U.S. academic 

scientists. NMFS agreed to be a 

cooperating agency in the preparation of 

the EIS/OEIS. This EIS/OEIS has not 

been completed. 

Therefore, in order to meet NSF’s and 

NMFS’ NEPA requirements for the 

proposed activity and issuance of an 

IHA to L-DEO, the NSF has prepared an 

EA that is specific to the marine 

geophysical survey conducted by the R/ 

V Marcus G. Langseth in the northeast 

Pacific Ocean. NSF’s EA, titled, Marine 

Seismic Survey in the Northeast Pacific 

Ocean, August/September, 2009 is 

based, in part, on an environmental 

assessment report (hereinafter, Report), 

prepared by LGL Limited environmental 

research associates (LGL) on behalf of 

NSF, titled, ‘‘Environmental Assessment 

of a Marine Geophysical Survey by the 

R/V Marcus G. Langseth in the 

Northeast Pacific Ocean, August 

September, 2009.’’ The EA, and Report, 

specifically analyze the fact that L-DEO 

intends to obtain an IHA from NMFS in 

order to conduct the seismic survey. 

The EA evaluates the impacts of 

potential incidental Level B harassment 

resulting from the specified activity in 

the specified geographic region. The 

NSF has made a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) 

determination based on information 

contained within its EA and Report, that 

implementation of the proposed action 

is not a major Federal action having 

significant effects on the environment 

within the meaning of NEPA. NSF 

determined, therefore, that an 

environmental impact statement would 

not be prepared. 

On May 8, 2009 (74 FR 2163), NMFS 

noted that the NSF had prepared an EA 

for the northeast Pacific Ocean surveys 

and made this EA, and the Report, 

available upon request. NMFS has 

independently reviewed the information 

contained in NSF’s EA and determined 

that the NSF EA describes the proposed 

action alternative and evaluates and 

discloses the potential impacts on 

marine mammals, endangered species, 

and other marine life that could be 

impacted by the preferred alternative 

and the other alternatives. Accordingly, 

NMFS has adopted the NSF EA, and 

incorporated Report, under 40 CFR 

1506.3 and made its own FONSI. The 

NMFS FONSI also takes into 

consideration additional mitigation 

measures required by the IHA that are 

not in NSF’s EA or Report. Therefore, 

NMFS has determined that it is not 

necessary to issue a new EA, 

supplemental EA or an EIS for the 

issuance of an IHA to L-DEO for this 

activity. A copy of the EA and the 

NMFS FONSI for this activity is 

available upon request (see ADDRESSES). 

Determinations 

NMFS has determined that the impact 

of conducting the seismic survey in the 

northeast Pacific Ocean may result, at 

worst, in a temporary modification in 

behavior (Level B harassment) of small 

numbers of 33 species of cetaceans. 

Though NMFS believes that take of the 

requested numbers is unlikely, we still 

find these numbers small relative to the 

population sizes. Further, this activity is 

not expected to adversely affect any 

species or stock through affects on 

annual recruitment or survival. 

Therefore, NMFS has determined that 

the activity will have a negligible 

impact on the affected species or stocks. 

The provision requiring that the 

activity not have an unmitigable adverse 

impact on the availability of the affected 

species or stock for subsistence uses is 

not implicated for this proposed action. 

There is no subsistence harvest of 

marine mammals in the proposed 

research area; therefore, there will be no 

impact of the activity on the availability 

of the species or stocks of marine 

mammals for subsistence uses. 

The negligible impact determination 

is supported by: (1) the likelihood that, 

given sufficient warning through 

relatively slow ship speed, marine 

mammals are expected to move away 

from a noise source that is annoying 

prior to it becoming potentially 

injurious; (2) the fact that marine 

mammals would have to be closer than 

40 m (131 ft) in deep water, when a 

single airgun is in use from the vessel 

to be exposed to levels of sound (180 

dB) believed to have even a minimal 

chance of causing TTS; (3) the fact that 

marine mammals would have to be 

closer than 950 m (0.5 nm) in deep 

water, when the full array is in use at 

a 9–15 m (29.5–49.2 ft) tow depth from 

the vessel to be exposed to levels of 

sound (180 dB) believed to have even a 

minimal chance of causing TTS; (4) the 

likelihood that marine mammal 

detection ability by trained observers is 

good at those distances from the vessel; 

(5) the use of PAM, which is effective 

out to tens of km, will assist in the 

detection of vocalizing marine mammals 

at greater distances from the vessel; (6) 

the incorporation of other required 

mitigation measures (i.e., ramp-up, 

power-down, and shutdown); and (7) 

the limited duration of the seismic 

survey in the study area (approximately 

39 days). As a result, no take by injury 

or death is anticipated, and the potential 

for temporary or permanent hearing 

impairment is very low and will be 

avoided through the incorporation of 

the required monitoring and mitigation 

measures. 

While the number of potential 

incidental harassment takes will depend 

on the distribution and abundance of 

marine mammals in the vicinity of the 

survey activity, the number of potential 

harassment takings is estimated to be 

small, relative to the affected species 

and stock sizes, and has been mitigated 

to the lowest level practicable through 

incorporation of the measures 

mentioned previously in this document. 

Authorization 

As a result of these determinations, 

NMFS has issued an IHA to L-DEO for 

conducting a marine geophysical survey 

in the northeast Pacific Ocean in August 

October, 2009, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated.

1Such entities include entities that have not 

participated in the proceeding, entities that were 

preliminarily granted a separate rate in any 

currently incomplete segment of the proceedings 

(e.g., an ongoing administrative review, new 

shipper review, etc.) and entities that lost their 

separate rate in the most recently complete segment 

of the proceeding in which they participated.

Rate Application. 

duty orders and findings with July 

anniversary dates. The Department also 

received a timely request to revoke in 

part the antidumping duty order on 

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 

India with respect to one producer/ 

exporter. 

Notice of No Sales 

Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the 

Department may rescind a review where 

there are no exports, sales, or entries of 

subject merchandise during the 

respective period of review (‘‘POR’’) 

listed below. If a producer or exporter 

named in this initiation notice had no 

exports, sales, or entries during the 

POR, it should notify the Department 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

Department will consider rescinding the 

review only if the producer or exporter, 

as appropriate, submits a properly filed 

and timely statement certifying that it 

had no exports, sales, or entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

All submissions must be made in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and 

are subject to verification in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Six 

copies of the submission should be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW, 

Washington, DC 20230. Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on every party on the Department’s 

service list. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews, 

the Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. 

imports during the POR. We intend to 

release the CBP data under 

Administrative Protective Order 

(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO 

within five days of publication of this 

initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 20 days of publication of this 

Federal Register notice. 

The Department invites comments 

regarding the CBP data and respondent 

selection within 10 calendar days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non–market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

administrative review in an NME 

country this single rate unless an 

exporter can demonstrate that it is 

sufficiently independent so as to be 

entitled to a separate rate. 

To establish whether a firm is 

sufficiently independent from 

government control of its export 

activities to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the Department analyzes each 

entity exporting the subject 

merchandise under a test arising from 

the Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the 

People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 

(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the 

People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 

(May 2,1994). In accordance with the 

separate–rates criteria, the Department 

assigns separate rates to companies in 

NME cases only if respondents can 

demonstrate the absence of both de jure 

and de facto government control over 

export activities. 

All firms listed below that wish to 

qualify for separate–rate status in the 

administrative reviews involving NME 

countries must complete, as 

appropriate, either a separate–rate 

application or certification, as described 

below. For these administrative reviews, 

in order to demonstrate separate–rate 

eligibility, the Department requires 

entities for whom a review was 

requested, that were assigned a separate 

rate in the most recent segment of this 

proceeding in which they participated, 

to certify that they continue to meet the 

criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The 

Separate Rate Certification form will be 

available on the Department’s website at 

http://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of 

publication of this Federal Register. In 

responding to the certification, please 

follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the 

Certification’’ in the Separate Rate 

Certification. Separate Rate 

Certifications are due to the Department 

no later than 30 calendar days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. The deadline and requirement 

for submitting a Certification applies 

equally to NME–owned firms, wholly 

foreign–owned firms, and foreign sellers 

who purchase and export subject 

merchandise to the United States. 

Entities that currently do not have a 

separate rate from a completed segment 

of the proceeding 1 should timely file a 

Separate Rate Application to 

demonstrate eligibility for a separate 

rate in this proceeding. In addition, 

companies that received a separate rate 

in a completed segment of the 

proceeding that have subsequently 

made changes, including, but not 

limited to, changes to corporate 

structure, acquisitions of new 

companies or facilities, or changes to 

their official company name,2 should 

timely file a Separate Rate Application 

to demonstrate eligibility for a separate 

rate in this proceeding. The Separate 

Rate Application will be available on 

the Department’s website at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme–sep-rate.html 

on the date of publication of this 

Federal Register notice. In responding 

to the Separate Rate Status Application, 

refer to the instructions contained in the 

application. Separate Rate Status 

Applications are due to the Department 

no later than 60 calendar days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. The deadline and requirement 

for submitting a Separate Rate Status 

Application applies equally to NME– 

owned firms, wholly foreign–owned 

firms, and foreign sellers that purchase 

and export subject merchandise to the 

United States. 

For exporters and producers who 

submit a separate–rate status 

application or certification and 

subsequently are selected as mandatory 

respondents, these exporters and 

producers will no longer be eligible for 

separate–rate status unless they respond 

to all parts of the questionnaire as 

mandatory respondents. 

Initiation of Reviews 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating 

administrative reviews of the following 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders and findings. We intend to issue 

the final results of these reviews not 

later than July 31, 2010.

3On April 7, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative reviews for the orders covering certain frozen warmwater 

shrimp (shrimp) from Brazil, India, and Thailand. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Brazil, India and Thailand: Notice of Initiation of 

Administrative Reviews, 74 FR 15699 (April 7, 2009). This notice should have also indicated that the Department received a timely request to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order on shrimp from India with respect to Devi Sea Foods Limited, an exporter and producer of shrimp from 

India. 4The Department received a request for an administrative review of the antidumping order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils 

(‘‘SSSSC’’) from Taiwan with respect to Tung Mung Development Co., Ltd. (‘‘Tung Mung’’) (as to subject merchandise as set forth in Notice of 

Amended Final Determination in Accordance With Court Decision of the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in 

Coils From Taiwan, 69 FR 67311 (Nov. 17, 2004)). SSSSC produced and exported by Tung Mung was excluded from this order effective October 16, 2002. Id. However, exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung and exported to the United States by Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Ta Chen’’) remain subject to the order, and thus this administrative review covers exports of SSSSC produced by Tung Mung in Taiwan and 

exported to the United States by Ta Chen. 5 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe 

from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the 

single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part. 6 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Persulfates from the PRC who have not 

qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part. 7 If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of Saccahrin from the PRC who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part. 

During any administrative review 

covering all or part of a period falling 

between the first and second or third 

and fourth anniversary of the 

publication of an antidumping order 

under 19 CFR 351.211 or a 

determination under 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or 

suspended investigation (after sunset 

review), the Secretary, if requested by a 

domestic interested party within 30 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the review, will 

determine, consistent with FAG Italia 

v.United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir. 

2002), as appropriate, whether 

antidumping duties have been absorbed 

by an exporter or producer subject to the 

review if the subject merchandise is 

sold in the United States through an 

importer that is affiliated with such 

exporter or producer. The request must 

include the name(s) of the exporter or 

producer for which the inquiry is 

requested. 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.On
