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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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.11 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.12 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 

the adequacy of remuneration under 19 

CFR 351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, 

clarification and correction filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 

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://

www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/ 

html/2013-22853.htm, prior to 

submitting factual information in these 

segments. 

These initiations and this notice are, 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2018, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) published the 

Antidumping Duty Order on ripe olives 

from Spain.1 In the Antidumping Duty 

Order, Commerce made typographical 

errors with respect to the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin and 

cash deposit rate for Aceitunas

39692 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Notices 

Guadalquivir S.L. (AG). Specifically, 

Commerce listed AG’s estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin as 

17.45 percent and AG’s cash deposit 

rate as 17.46 percent. 

Correction 

Commerce has corrected AG’s 

weighted-average antidumping duty 

margin percentage to 17.46 percent and 

AG’s cash deposit rate to 17.45 percent. 

The weighted-average antidumping duty 

margin percentages and cash deposit 

rates remain unchanged from the 

Antidumping Duty Order for all other 

companies. The weighted-average 

antidumping duty margin percentages 

and cash deposit rates are as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage

Cash deposit 

rate

All-Others ................................................................................................................................................................. 20.04 19.98 

2The cash deposit rate is equal to the calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margin adjusted for the appropriate subsidy offset(s). 

This correction to the Antidumping 

Duty Order is published in accordance 

with section 736(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended.

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to a Marine 

Geophysical Survey in the Northwest 

Atlantic Ocean 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance of an incidental 

harassment authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

regulations implementing the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) as 

amended, notification is hereby given 

that NMFS has issued an incidental 

harassment authorization (IHA) to USGS 

to incidentally harass, by Level B 

harassment only, marine mammals 

during geophysical survey activities 

associated with a the USGS’s MidAtlantic Resource Imaging Experiment 

(MATRIX) survey project in the 

Northwest Atlantic Ocean. 

DATES: This Authorization is effective 

from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Resources, NMFS, (301) 427–8401.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated 

to NMFS) to allow, upon request, the 

incidental, but not intentional, taking of 

small numbers of marine mammals by 

U.S. citizens who engage in a specified 

activity (other than commercial fishing) 

within a specified geographical region if 

certain findings are made and either 

regulations are issued or, if the taking is 

limited to harassment, a notice of a 

proposed authorization is provided to 

the public for review. 

An authorization for incidental 

takings shall be granted if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), will 

not have an unmitigable adverse impact 

on the availability of the species or 

stock(s) for subsistence uses (where 

relevant), and if the permissible 

methods of taking and requirements 

pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring 

and reporting of such takings are set 

forth. 

NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible 

impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact 

resulting from the specified activity that 

cannot be reasonably expected to, and is 

not reasonably likely to, adversely affect 

the species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’ 

means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or 

attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill 

any marine mammal. 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: Any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i) 

has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has 

the potential to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of behavioral 

patterns, including, but not limited to, 

migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering (Level B 

harassment). 

Summary of Request 

On March 20, 2018, NMFS received a 

request from USGS for an IHA to take 

marine mammals incidental to a marine 

geophysical survey in the northwest 

Atlantic Ocean. On April 11, 2018, we 

deemed USGS’s application for 

authorization to be adequate and 

complete. USGS requests to take small 

numbers of 29 species of marine 

mammals by Level B harassment only 

during the survey. Neither USGS nor 

NMFS expects serious injury or 

mortality to result from this activity; 

and, therefore, an IHA is appropriate. 

Description of Activity 

The USGS will conduct a seismic 

survey aboard the R/V Hugh R. Sharp, 

a University National Oceanographic 

Laboratory (UNOLS) Federal fleet vessel 

that is owned and operated by the 

University of Delaware, during a cruise 

up to 22 days long on the northern U.S. 

Atlantic margin in August 2018. The 

seismic survey will take place in water 

depths ranging from ∼100 meters (m) to 

3,500 m, entirely within the U.S.
