antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Because sampling and other

simplification methods prevent entryby-entry assessments, we will calculate

wherever possible an exporter/importerspecific assessment rate for each class or

kind of AFBs.

We will instruct the Customs Service

to collect cash deposits of estimated

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries in accordance with the

procedures discussed in the Final

Results (62 FR 2081) and as amended by

this determination. These amended

deposit requirements are effective for all

shipments of the subject merchandise

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication of this notice and shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

reviews.

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate

regarding the reimbursement of

antidumping duties prior to liquidation

of the relevant entries during the review

period. Failure to comply with this

requirement could result in the

Secretary’s presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and the subsequent assessment

of double antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective orders (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the return or

destruction of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply is a violation of the

APO.

This amendment of final results of

reviews and notice are in accordance

with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19

U.S.C. 1673(d)) and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

Dated: August 26, 1997.

Concurrent with the publication of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

subject permit is requested under the

authority of the Marine Mammal

Protection Act of 1972, as amended

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and the

Regulations Governing the Taking and

Importing of Marine Mammals (50 CFR

part 216).

The applicant requests authorization

to import two male marine mammals

from Switzerland where the animals are

currently maintained at Conny-Land, a

public display facility in Lipperswil, for

exhibit with the circus during its 1997–

1998 season. During their 14-month stay

in the United States, the animals will be

accompanied by their trainer, Roberto

Gasser of Conny-Land. When the sea

lions are not traveling with the circus,

they will be maintained at the

applicant’s new facility in Walden, NY.

At the conclusion of the tour, the

animals will be re-exported to ConnyLand.

The applicant has an exhibitor’s

license, No. 21–C–0061, from the U.S.

Department of Agriculture’s Animal and

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)

under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA),

and plans have been submitted to

APHIS for a new facility, to be

completed in August 1997, at 39

Edmunds Lane, Walden, New York

12586. The new facility must also meet

APHIS standards. As any issues relating

to the care and maintenance of captive

marine mammals are within the

purview of APHIS, under the AWA, a

copy of the application is also being

sent to APHIS for review.

Each exhibitition will be open to the

public on a regularly scheduled basis

with access that is not limited or

restricted other than by charging an

admission fee and will offer an

educational program based upon the

standards of both the AZA and the

Alliance.

In addition to determining whether

the applicant meets the public display

criteria provided in sec. 104 (2)(a)(i-iii)

of the MMPA, NMFS must determine

whether the applicant has demonstrated

that the proposed activity is humane

and does not present any unnecessary

risks to the health and welfare of marine

mammals; that the proposed activity by

itself or in combination with other

activities, will not likely have a

significant adverse impact on the

species or stock; and that the applicant’s

expertise, facilities, and resources are

adequate to accomplish successfully the

objectives and activities stated in the

application.

In compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial

determination has been made that the

activity proposed is categorically

excluded from the requirement to

prepare an environmental assessment or

environmental impact statement.
