SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), for administrative reviews of 

various antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders and findings with April 

anniversary dates. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

various types of information, 

certifications, or comments or actions by 

Commerce discussed below refer to the 

number of calendar days from the 

applicable starting time. 

Notice of No Sales 

If a producer or exporter named in 

this notice of initiation had no exports, 

sales, or entries during the period of 

review (POR), it must notify Commerce 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. All 

submissions must be filed electronically 

at http://access.trade.gov in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.303.1 Such

Administrative Protective Order Procedures, 76 FR 

39263 (July 6, 2011). 

2Such 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 proceeding 

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

shipper review, etc.) and entities that lost their 

separate rate in the most recently completed 

segment of the proceeding in which they 

participated. 

3Only changes to the official company name, 

rather than trade names, need to be addressed via 

a Separate Rate Application. Information regarding 

new trade names may be submitted via a Separate 

Rate Certification. 

submissions are subject to verification 

in accordance with section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy must be served 

on every party on Commerce’s service 

list. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to place the 

CBP data on the record within five days 

of publication of the initiation notice 

and to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 30 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Comments regarding the 

CBP data and respondent selection 

should be submitted seven days after 

the placement of the CBP data on the 

record of this review. Parties wishing to 

submit rebuttal comments should 

submit those comments five days after 

the deadline for the initial comments. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce has found that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (e.g., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of this 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this antidumping 

proceeding (e.g., investigation, 

administrative review, new shipper 

review or changed circumstances 

review). For any company subject to this 

review, if Commerce determined, or 

continued to treat, that company as 

collapsed with others, Commerce will 

assume that such companies continue to 

operate in the same manner and will 

collapse them for respondent selection 

purposes. Otherwise, Commerce will 

not collapse companies for purposes of 

respondent selection. Parties are 

requested to (a) identify which 

companies subject to review previously 

were collapsed, and (b) provide a 

citation to the proceeding in which they 

were collapsed. Further, if companies 

are requested to complete the Quantity 

and Value (Q&V) Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete Q&V data for that 

collapsed entity must be submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that has requested a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non-market 

economy (NME) countries, Commerce 

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 

Commerce’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, Commerce analyzes each entity 

exporting the subject merchandise. In 

accordance with the separate rates 

criteria, Commerce 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, Commerce 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 Commerce’s website at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nmesep-rate.html on the date of publication 

of this Federal Register notice. In 

responding to the certification, please 

follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the 

Certification’’ in the Separate Rate 

Certification. Separate Rate 

Certifications are due to Commerce no 

later than 30 calendar days after 

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 2 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,3 should 

timely file a Separate Rate Application 

to demonstrate eligibility for a separate 

rate in this proceeding. The Separate 

Rate Status Application will be 

available on Commerce’s website at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nmesep-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 

Commerce no later than 30 calendar 

days of publication of this Federal 

Register notice. The deadline and 

requirement for submitting a Separate 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
26260 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 6, 2018 / Notices 

Rate Status Application applies equally 

to NME-owned firms, wholly foreignowned 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 April 30, 2019.

Duty Absorption Reviews 

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 duty 

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 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. 

Gap Period Liquidation 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the POR. 

Administrative Protective Orders and 

Letters of Appearance 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with the procedures 

outlined in Commerce’s regulations at 

19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures 

apply to administrative reviews 

included in this notice of initiation. 

Parties wishing to participate in any of 

these administrative reviews should 

ensure that they meet the requirements 

of these procedures (e.g., the filing of 

separate letters of appearance as 

discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). 

Factual Information Requirements 

Commerce’s regulations identify five 

categories of factual information in 19 

CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are 

summarized as follows: (i) Evidence 

submitted in response to questionnaires; 

(ii) evidence submitted in support of 

allegations; (iii) publicly available 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on 

the record by Commerce; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). These regulations 

require any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also 

provide specific time limits for such 

factual submissions based on the type of 

factual information being submitted. 

Please review the final rule, available at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/ 

1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in this 

segment. 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an antidumping duty or 

countervailing duty proceeding must 

certify to the accuracy and completeness 

of that information.4 Parties are hereby 

reminded that revised certification 

requirements are in effect for company/ 

government officials as well as their 

representatives. All segments of any 

antidumping duty or countervailing 

duty proceedings initiated on or after 

August 16, 2013, should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Final Rule.5 Commerce 

intends to reject factual submissions in 

any proceeding segments if the 

submitting party does not comply with 

applicable revised certification 

requirements. 

Extension of Time Limits Regulation 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before a time limit 

established under Part 351 expires, or as 

otherwise specified by the Secretary. 

See 19 CFR 351.302. In general, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after the time limit 

established under Part 351 expires. For 

submissions which are due from 

multiple parties simultaneously, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. on 

the due date. Examples include, but are

not limited to: (1) Case and rebuttal 

briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; 

(2) factual information to value factors 

under 19 CFR 351.408(c), or to measure

comments concerning the selection of a 

surrogate country and surrogate values 

and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

data; and (5) quantity and value 

questionnaires. Under certain 

circumstances, Commerce may elect to 

specify a different time limit by which 

extension requests will be considered 

untimely for submissions which are due 

from multiple parties simultaneously. In 

such a case, Commerce will inform 

parties in the letter or memorandum 

setting forth the deadline (including a 

specified time) by which extension 

requests must be filed to be considered 

timely. This modification also requires 

that an extension request must be made 

in a separate, stand-alone submission, 

and clarifies the circumstances under 

which Commerce will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time 

limits. These modifications are effective 

for all segments initiated on or after 

October 21, 2013. Please review the 

final rule, available at http://

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement; notice 

of initiation of scoping process; notice 

of public scoping meetings; requests for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council announces its 

intent to prepare, in cooperation with 

NMFS and the Atlantic States Marine 

Fisheries Commission, an amendment 

to the Fishery Management Plan for 

Bluefish. An environmental impact 

statement may be necessary for the 

amendment in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act to 

analyze the impacts of any proposed 

management measures. The Council has 

initiated this amendment in order to 

perform a review of the sector-based 

allocations, commercial allocations to 

the states, goals and objectives of the 

fishery management plan, and quota 

transfer processes. 

This notice announces a public 

process for determining the scope of 

issues to be addressed, and for 

identifying the significant issues related 

to the bluefish fishery in the Greater 

Atlantic region. This notice is to alert 

the interested public of the scoping 

process, the potential development of a 

draft environmental impact statement, 

and to provide for public participation 

in that process. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before 11:59 p.m., EST, 

on July 6, 2018. Twelve public scoping 

meetings will be held during this 

comment period. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for dates, times, and 

locations. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent by any of the following methods: 

• Email to the following address: 

nmfs.garBluefishAmend@noaa.gov. 

Include ‘‘Bluefish Allocation 

Amendment Scoping Comments’’ in the 

subject line; 

• Mail or hand deliver to Dr.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Christopher M. Moore, Mid-Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council, 800 North 

State Street, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901, 

(telephone 302–674–2331). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

More details on the topics addressed 

in this supplementary information 

section may be found in the Bluefish 

Allocation Amendment Scoping 

Document (see ADDRESSES for how to 

obtain scoping document) and on the 

bluefish allocation amendment page of 

the Council’s website at http://

www.mafmc.org/actions/bluefishallocation-amendment. 

The Council, in cooperation with the 

Atlantic States Marine Fisheries 

Commission (ASMFC), has initiated this 

action in order to: (1) Update the 

Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) goals and objectives for 

bluefish management; and (2) perform a 

comprehensive review of the bluefish 

sector allocations, commercial 

allocations to the states, and transfer 

processes within the FMP. This action 

was proposed so that the FMP goals and 

objectives, allocations, and transfer 

processes can be assessed in light of 

potential changing fishery conditions 

and aligned better with stakeholder 

priorities. Some management questions 

for consideration in this amendment 

include: (1) Are the existing goals and 

objectives appropriate for managing the 

bluefish fishery; (2) is the existing 

allocation between the commercial and 

recreational sectors based on the annual 

catch limit appropriate for managing the 

bluefish fishery; (3) are the existing 

commercial state allocations appropriate 

for managing the bluefish fishery; and 

(4) are the existing transfer processes 

appropriate for managing the bluefish 

fishery? 

The scoping period is an important 

opportunity for members of the public 

to raise concerns related to the scope of 

issues that will be considered in the 

amendment. The Council needs your 

input to identify management issues, 

develop effective alternatives, and 

identify possible impacts to be 

considered. Public comments early in 

the amendment development process 

will help the Council address issues of 

public concern in a thorough and 

appropriate manner. Comments can be 

made in writing or during the scoping 

hearings as described above (see 

ADDRESSES). 

Following the scoping process, the 

Council will develop a range of 

management alternatives to be 

considered and potentially prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) to
