and Tube from Turkey: Notice of Rescission of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, In Part, 

74 FR 47921 (September 18, 2009). 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under item number 3920.62.00.90. 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive. 

Intent To Rescind the 2010 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review 

SRF submitted a letter to the 

Department on September 12, 2011, 

certifying that it had no shipments of 

subject merchandise that entered the 

United States during calendar year 

2010, which is the period of review 

(POR). Petitioners did not comment on 

SRF’s claim of no shipments or entries. 

Previously, on September 1, 2011, the 

Department released the results of a U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data query to interested parties with an 

administrative protective order for this 

segment of the administrative review, 

which showed SRF had no suspended 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR. After the receipt of SRF’s no 

shipment certification, we sent a ‘‘no 

shipments inquiry’’ message to CBP, 

which posted the message on October 

12, 2011.2 We have not received any 

responses from CBP regarding the no 

shipments inquiry indicating that there 

were any suspended entries from SRF 

during the POR. See Memorandum to 

the File through Barbara E. Tillman, 

Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, 

‘‘Claim of No Shipments from SRF 

Limited in the 2010 Administrative 

Review of the Countervailing Duty 

Order on Polyethylene Terephthalate 

Film, Sheet and Strip from India’’ (dated 

concurrently with this notice). 

Based on our analysis of all of the 

information on the record, we 

preliminarily determine that SRF had 

no shipments or entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our 

practice,3 we preliminarily determine to 

rescind the review for SRF. Because SRF 

is the sole remaining company in this 

administrative review, the rescission of 

the review with respect to SRF would 

result in a rescission of the 

administrative review in its entirety. 

Public Comment 

The Department is setting aside a 

period for interested parties to raise 

issues regarding the Department’s 

preliminary intent to rescind the 

administrative review for SRF. 

Interested parties should submit such 

comments within 20 calendar days of 

the publication of this notice. 

Comments must be filed electronically 

via Import Administration’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(IA ACCESS) (https:// 

iaaccess.trade.gov/). The period for 

public comment is intended to provide 

the Department with ample opportunity 

to consider all views prior to making a 

final determination concerning whether 

to rescind the administrative review. 

We are issuing this notice in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: February 14, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 through 

4327) and the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

implementing regulations (40 CFR parts 

1500 through 1508) require that an 

environmental analysis be completed 

for all major Federal actions 

significantly affecting the environment. 

NEPA applies only to the actions of 

Federal agencies. While those Federal 

actions may include a Federal agency’s 

decision to fund non-Federal projects 

under grants and cooperative 

agreements, NEPA requires agencies to 

assess the environmental impacts of 

actions proposed to be taken by these 

recipients only when the Federal agency 

has sufficient discretion or control over 

the recipient’s activities to deem those 

actions as Federal actions. To determine 

whether the activities of the recipient of 

a Federal financial assistance award 

(i.e., grant or cooperative agreement) 

involve sufficient Federal discretion or 

control, and to undertake the 

appropriate environmental analysis 

when NEPA is required, NOAA must 

assess information which can only be 

provided by the Federal financial 

assistance applicant. Thus, NOAA has 

developed an environmental 

information questionnaire to provide 

grantees and Federal grant managers 

with a simple tool to ensure that project 

and environmental information is 

obtained. The questionnaire applies 

only to those programs where actions 

are considered major Federal actions or 

to those where NOAA must determine 

if the action is a major Federal action. 

The questionnaire includes a list of 

questions that encompasses a broad 

range of subject areas. The applicants 

are not required to answer every 

question in the questionnaire. Each 

program draws from the comprehensive 

list of questions to create a relevant 

subset of questions for applicants to 

answer. The information provided in 

answers to the questionnaire is used by 

NOAA staff to determine compliance 

requirements for NEPA and conduct 

subsequent NEPA analysis as needed. 

The information provided in the 

questionnaire may also be used for other 

regulatory review requirements 

associated with the proposed project, 

such as issuance of permits.
