50456 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 157 / Monday, August 15, 2011 / Notices 

The Department finds that it is not 

practicable to complete this review by 

the current deadline. The Department 

has determined that it requires 

additional time to analyze the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by interested 

parties and to consider the unique facts 

and legal questions surrounding this 

changed circumstances review. 

Consequently, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.302(b), the Department is 

extending the time period for issuing 

the final results in this review by 30 

days. Therefore, the final results will be 

due no later than September 19, 2011, 

as September 17, 2011, is a Saturday. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(b) and 771(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended. 

Dated: August 10, 2011.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) has determined that 

Toray Advanced Materials Korea, Inc. 

(Toray Advanced Materials) is the 

successor-in-interest to Toray Saehan, 

Inc. (Toray Saehan). As a result, Toray 

Advanced Materials will be accorded 

the same treatment previously accorded 

Toray Saehan with regard to the 

antidumping duty order on 

polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, 

and strip (PET film) from Korea, 

effective as of the date of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 15, 2011.

Background 

The Department published an 

antidumping duty order on PET film 

from Korea on June 5, 1991. See 

Antidumping Duty Order and 

Amendment to Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: 

Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, 

and Strip From the Republic of Korea, 

56 FR 25669 (June 5, 1991). On 

September 26, 1997, the Department 

published the notice of final court 

decision and amended final 

determination on PET film from Korea. 

See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, 

Sheet, and Strip From the Republic of 

Korea; Notice of Final Court Decision 

and Amended Final Determination of 

Antidumping Duty Investigation, 62 FR 

50557 (September 26, 1997) 

(Antidumping Duty Investigation 

Amended Final). Based on the 

Department’s redetermination on 

remand in Antidumping Duty 

Investigation Amended Final, Cheil 

Synthetics, Inc. (Cheil) was found to 

have been dumping at a margin of 36.33 

percent. 

On July 5, 1996, the Department 

revoked the antidumping duty order on 

PET film from Korea with respect to 

Cheil because Cheil had not sold the 

subject merchandise at LTFV for at least 

three consecutive periods of review. See 

Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Sheet 

and Strip From the Republic of Korea; 

Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Notice of 

Revocation in Part, 61 FR 35177 (July 5, 

1996). Subsequently, prior to the first 

sunset review, the Department 

published the final results of a changed 

circumstances review in which it found 

that Saehan Industries, Inc. (Saehan) 

was the successor-in-interest to Cheil. 

See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, 

Sheet and Strip From the Republic of 

Korea; Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review, 63 FR 3703 

(January 26, 1998). 

The Department conducted another 

changed circumstances review in May 

2000 in which it determined that Toray 

Saehan was the successor-in-interest to 

Saehan (which, as explained above, was 

the successor-in-interest to Cheil). See 

Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet 

and Strip From the Republic of Korea, 

Final Results of Changed Circumstances 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 65 FR 34661 (May 31, 2000). 

On December 21, 2010, Toray 

Advanced Materials filed a request for a 

changed circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on PET film 

from Korea. Toray Advanced Materials 

claimed it is the successor-in-interest to 

Toray Saehan in accordance with 

section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.216, and provided documentation 

supporting its assertion. 

On May 10, 2011, the Department 

published its initiation and preliminary 

results of changed circumstances review 

of the antidumping duty order on PET 

film from Korea. See Polyethylene 

Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip 

From the Republic of Korea: Initiation 

and Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 

76 FR 27005 (May 10, 2011) 

(Preliminary Results). The Department 

preliminarily determined that Toray 

Advanced Materials is the successor-ininterest to Toray Saehan and should be 

treated as such for purposes of the 

antidumping duty order. In the 

Preliminary Results, we stated that 

interested parties could submit case 

briefs to the Department no later than 15 

days after the publication of the 

Preliminary Results in the Federal 

Register, and submit rebuttal briefs, 

limited to the issues raised in those case 

briefs, five days subsequent to the case 

briefs’ due date. No party submitted 

case briefs or other comments on the 

Preliminary Results. 

Scope of the Order 

Imports covered by the order are 

shipments of all gauges of raw, 

pretreated, or primed polyethylene 

terephthalate film, sheet, and strip, 

whether extruded or coextruded. The 

films excluded from this review are 

metallized films and other finished 

films that have had at least one of their 

surfaces modified by the application of 

a performance-enhancing resinous or 

inorganic layer more than 0.00001 

inches (0.254 micrometers) thick. 

Polyethylene terephthalate film, 

sheet, and strip is currently classifiable 

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheading 3920.62.00. The HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and for customs purposes. The written 

description of the scope of the order 

remains dispositive. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

Based on the information provided by 

Toray Advanced Materials, the 

Department’s analysis in the 

Preliminary Results (which we 

incorporate herein by reference), and in 

light of the fact that interested parties 

did not submit any comments during 

the comment period, the Department 

hereby determines that Toray Advanced 

Materials is the successor-in-interest to 

Toray Saehan and is entitled to Toray

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 157 / Monday, August 15, 2011 / Notices 50457 

Saehan’s treatment under the order (i.e., 

Toray Advanced Materials will inherit 

Toray Saehan’s revocation from the 

order). 

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection to 

liquidate entries of merchandise 

produced or exported by Toray 

Advanced Materials without regard to 

antidumping duties, as Toray Advanced 

Materials’ predecessor, Toray Saehan, is 

revoked from the order. 

Notification 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 

violation. 

This notice is in accordance with 

sections 751(b) and 777(i)(1) and (2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(e).

Taking and Importing Marine 

Mammals; Military Training Activities 

and Research Conducted Within the 

Mariana Islands Range Complex 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of a Letter of 

Authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA), as amended, and 

implementing regulations, notice is 

hereby given that NMFS has issued a 

letter of authorization (LOA) to the U.S. 

Navy (Navy) to take marine mammals 

incidental to Navy training, 

maintenance, and research, 

development, testing, and evaluation 

(RDT&E) activities to be conducted 

within the Mariana Islands Range 

Complex (MIRC) Study Area for the 

period of August 12, 2011, through 

August 11, 2012. 

DATES: This authorization is effective 

from August 12, 2011, through August 

11, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: The LOA and supporting 

documentation may be obtained by 

writing to P. Michael Payne, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, 1315 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, MD 

20910, or by telephoning one of the 

contacts listed here. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jolie 

Harrison or Brian D. Hopper, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, (301) 427– 

8401. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 

1361 et seq.) directs NMFS to allow, 

upon request, the incidental taking of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing), if certain findings 

are made by NMFS and regulations are 

issued. Under the MMPA, the term 

‘‘take’’ means to harass, hunt, capture, 

or kill or to attempt to harass, hunt, 

capture, or kill marine mammals. 

Regulations governing the taking of 

marine mammals by the Navy incidental 

to MIRC training, maintenance, and 

RDT&E became effective on August 3, 

2010 (75 FR 45527, August 3, 2010), and 

remain in effect through August 3, 2015. 

The MIRC study area encompasses a 

501,873 square nautical mile area (nm2) 

around the islands, including Guam, 

Tinian, Saipan, Rota, Farallon de 

Meinilla, and also includes ocean areas 

in both the Pacific Ocean and 

Philippine Sea. For detailed information 

on this action, please refer to the August 

2010 final rule. These regulations 

include mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements and establish a 

framework to authorize incidental take 

through the issuance of LOAs. 

Summary of Request 

On April 18, 2011, NMFS received a 

request from the Navy for a renewal of 

an LOA issued on August 12, 2010, for 

the taking of marine mammals 

incidental to training and research 

activities conducted within the MIRC 

Study Area under regulations issued on 

August 3, 2010 (75 FR 45527). The Navy 

has complied with the measures 

required in 50 CFR 218.104 and 

218.105, as well as the associated 2010 

LOA, and submitted the reports and 

other documentation required in the 

final rule and the 2010 LOA. 

Summary of Activity Under the 2010 

LOA 

As described in the Navy’s exercise 

reports (both classified and 

unclassified), in 2010, the training 

activities conducted by the Navy were 

within the scope and amounts 

authorized by the 2010 LOA and the 

levels of take remain within the scope 

and amounts contemplated by the final 

rule. Between August 12, 2010 and 

February 15, 2011, the Navy conducted 

one Multi Strike Group Exercise. The 

exercise was conducted from September 

16–21, 2010 and included one Sinking 

Exercise (SINKEX), one underwater 

demolition exercise, and one Air-toSurface Missile Exercise (A–S 

MISSILEX). 

Planned Activities and Estimated Take 

for 2011–2012 

In 2011–2012, the Navy expects to 

conduct the same type and amount of 

training contemplated in the final rule 

and identified in the 2010 LOA. 

Therefore, for the 2011 LOA, NMFS 

authorizes the same amount of take that 

was authorized in 2010. 

Summary of Monitoring, Reporting, 

and Other Requirements Under the 

2010 LOA 

Annual Exercise Reports 

The Navy submitted their classified 

and unclassified 2010 exercise reports 

within the required timeframes and the 

unclassified report is posted on NMFS’ 

Web site: http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/ 

permits/incidental.htm. NMFS has 

reviewed both reports and they contain 

the information required by the 2010 

LOA. The reports indicate the amounts 

of different types of training that 

occurred from August 12, 2010, through 

February 15, 2011. As mentioned above, 

the Navy conducted one Multi Strike 

Group Exercise consisting of various 

training exercises addressed in the rule 

(the rule analyzed the likely annual 

impacts of up to two SINKEXs, 50 

underwater demolitions, and two A–S 

MISSILEXs). 

The reports also list specific 

information gathered when marine 

mammals were detected by Navy 

watchstanders, such as how far an 

animal was from the vessel, whether 

sonar was in use, and whether it was 

powered or shut down. This 

information indicates that the Navy 

implemented the safety zone mitigation 

measures as required. During the MultiStrike Group Exercise conducted in 

September, 2010, no instances of 

obvious behavioral disturbance were 

reported by the Navy watchstanders in 

their 10 marine mammal sightings
