4 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), parties 

should specify that they are requesting a review of 

entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to 

the extent possible, include the names of such 

exporters in their request.

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce clarified 

its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.2

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.3 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless 

Commerce specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.4 In administrative 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, Commerce will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity. 

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters 

not named in the initiation notice, 

including those that were suspended at 

the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on 

Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS 

website at http://access.trade.gov.5

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. 

Commerce will publish in the Federal 

Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation of 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation’’ for 

requests received by the last day of 

August 2018. If Commerce does not 

receive, by the last day of August 2018, 

a request for review of entries covered 

by an order, finding, or suspended 

investigation listed in this notice and for 

the period identified above, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

or countervailing duties on those entries 

at a rate equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

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 period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

NOAA’s Office of National Marine 

Sanctuaries (ONMS) serves as the 

trustee for a network of underwater 

parks encompassing more than 600,000 

square miles of marine and Great Lakes 

waters. The network includes a system 

of 13 national marine sanctuaries and 

Papaha ̄naumokua ̄kea and Rose Atoll 

marine national monuments. The 

National Marine Sanctuaries Act 

(NMSA; 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.) is the 

statute governing the National Marine 

Sanctuary System. The NMSA 

authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to 

designate as national marine sanctuaries 

areas of the marine environment or 

Great Lakes with special national 

significance due to their conservation, 

recreational, ecological, historical, 

scientific, cultural, archeological, 

educational or aesthetic qualities. The 

primary objective of the NMSA is to 

protect sanctuary resources, which span 

diverse geographic and administrative 

boundaries. Accordingly, ONMS 

subscribes to a broad and 

comprehensive management approach 

to meet the NMSA’s primary objective 

of resource protection. Comprehensive 

sanctuary and monument management, 

described in detail in each site’s 

management plan, serves as a 

framework for addressing long-term 

protection of a wide range of living and 

non-living marine resources, while 

allowing multiple uses of the site to the 

extent that they are compatible with the 

primary goal of resource protection. 

These plans are site-specific documents 

used by all national marine sanctuaries 

and the monuments for which ONMS 

has management responsibilities. The 

NMSA requires that ONMS develop and 

periodically review the management 

plans for each national marine 

sanctuary (Sec. 304(a)(2)(A) and (e)). 

Since revision of a management plan 

often constitutes a Federal action, 

ONMS typically analyzes changes to the 

management plan under NEPA. In many 

cases, this analysis does not analyze indepth consequences of routine field 

operations, such as vessel operations 

and ongoing research programs. The 

draft PEAs announced through this 

notice are designed to analyze these 

routine field operations not previously 

adequately analyzed under the National 

Environmental Policy Act during the 

management plan review process. 

Within the context of the ONMS 

management plans, field operations are 

an important component of 

implementing many of the actions 

necessary to support resource 

protection, research and education 

activities. The management plans also 

contain information relevant to these 

draft regional programmatic 

environmental assessments (PEAs) such 

as background about each sanctuary 

environment and its resources. 

II. NOAA’s Proposed Action 

NOAA has prepared four draft PEAs 

for the proposed continuation of field 

operations described in management 

plans for each site managed by the 

Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. 

There is a draft PEA for each of the 

following regions: West Coast, Pacific 

Islands, Northeast/Great Lakes, and 

Southeast/Gulf of Mexico. The purpose 

of the underlying field operations 

analyzed in the draft PEAs is to support 

resource protection, research and 

education objectives as mandated by the 

National Marine Sanctuaries Act and as 

described in site-specific management 

plans. Field operations in ONMSmanaged sites fall under 10 categories: 

vessel operations; vessel maintenance; 

aircraft operations; non-motorized craft 

operations; SCUBA or snorkel 

operations; onshore field work; 

deployment of autonomous underwater 

vehicles (AUVs)/remotely operated 

vehicles (ROVs)/gliders/drifters; 

deployment of remote sensing 

equipment; deployment of equipment 

on the seafloor; and other sampling 

activities. The four regional draft PEAs 

describe in detail the field operations 

taking place at each site in the next five 

years as well as their environmental 

impacts on the physical, biological, 

socioeconomic, maritime heritage and 

cultural environment. 

In these documents, NOAA analyzes 

the potential effects of two alternatives 

to implement the proposed action. 

NOAA also intends to use these four 

draft PEAs as the basis for compliance 

under the Marine Mammal Protection 

Act, Endangered Species Act, 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, National 

Historic Preservation Act, and Coastal 

Zone Management Act. NOAA intends 

to finalize any necessary compliance 

requirements for these statutes prior to 

finalizing this action.
