the interested party.76 However, the 

Department notes that 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(1), permits new information 

only insofar as it rebuts, clarifies, or 

corrects information recently placed on 

the record.77 Furthermore, the 

Department generally will not accept 

business proprietary information in 

either the surrogate value submissions 

or the rebuttals thereto, as the regulation 

regarding the submission of surrogate 

values allows only for the submission of 

publicly available information. 

Additionally, for each piece of factual 

information submitted with surrogate 

value rebuttal comments, the interested 

party must provide a written 

explanation of what information that is 

already on the record of the ongoing 

proceeding that the factual information 

is rebutting, clarifying, or correcting. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results of the 

review, the Department shall determine, 

and CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

review. We will calculate importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of the dumping margins 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales.78

We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review if any 

importer-specific assessment rate 

calculated in the final results of this 

review is above de minimis. However, 

the final results of this review shall be 

the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, will apply 

to all shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for Nha Trang 

Seaproduct Group and Minh Phu will 

be the rate established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for any previously reviewed or 

investigated Vietnam or non-Vietnam 

exporter, not covered in this 

administrative review, with a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established in the 

most recent segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all other Vietnam exporters, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

Vietnam-wide rate (i.e., 25.76 percent); 

and (4) the cash-deposit rate for any 

non-Vietnam exporter of subject 

merchandise from Vietnam will be the 

rate applicable to the Vietnam exporter 

that supplied that exporter. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

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 administrative review and notice 

are in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 19, 2012, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) initiated 

the countervailing duty investigation of 

large residential washers from the 

Republic of Korea. See Large Residential 

Washers From the Republic of Korea: 

Initiation of Countervailing Duty 

Investigation, 77 FR 4279 (January 27, 

2012). The current deadline for the 

completion of the preliminary 

determination is March 26, 2012.1

Postponement of Due Date for the 

Preliminary Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which the Department initiated 

the investigation. However, the 

Department may postpone making the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

the administering authority initiated the 

investigation if, among other reasons, 

the petitioner makes a timely request for 

an extension pursuant to section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act. In the instant 

investigation, the petitioner, Whirlpool 

Corporation, made a timely request on 

February 28, 2012, requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

countervailing duty determination to 

130 days from the initiation date. See 19 

CFR 351.205(e) and the petitioner’s 

February 28, 2012, letter requesting 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination. 

Therefore, pursuant to 703(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act and because the Department 

does not find any compelling reason to 

deny the request, we are extending the 

due date for the preliminary 

determination to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which this 

investigation was initiated, or May 28, 

2012. Because May 28, 2012, falls on a 

federal holiday, the deadline for the 

completion of the preliminary 

determination is now May 29, 2012, the 

first business day after the 130th day 

from initiation. See Next Business Day 

Rule. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(l).

U.S. Education Mission to Brazil; 

Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sa ̃o Paulo, 

Brazil, August 30–September 6, 2012 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Description 

The United States Department of 

Commerce, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. and Foreign 

Commercial Service (US&FCS), is 

organizing an education mission to 

Brazil (Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Sa ̃o 

Paulo) and is partnering with the United 

States Department of State’s 

EducationUSA Advising Centers. The 

emphasis will be on U.S. higher 

education, focusing on, in order of 

importance, intensive English language 

programs, undergraduate and graduate 

programs, and community college 

programs. English language programs 

and other continuing education 

programs seeking to participate should 

be part of a U.S. college or university 

and accredited through them. 

Community colleges, undergraduate and 

graduate programs seeking to participate 

should be accredited by a recognized 

accreditation body listed in Council for 

Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), 

in the Association of Specialized and 

Professional Accreditors (ASPA), or any 

accrediting body recognized by the U.S. 

Department of Education. 

This mission will seek to connect 

United States education institutions to 

potential students and university/ 

institution partners in Brazil. The 

mission will include student fairs 

organized by EducationUSA, embassy 

briefings, site visits, and networking 

events. Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sa ̃o 

Paulo are three of the top cities for 

recruiting Brazilian students to the 

United States. Participating in the 

Education Mission, rather than traveling 

to these markets independently, will 

enhance the schools’ ability to secure 

the appropriate meetings, especially in 

light of the high level engagement and 

support of U.S. education by the U.S. 

Ambassador in Brazil. 

Commercial Setting 

There are several types of 

opportunities for U.S. universities and 

institutions of higher learning in Brazil: 

(1) Attracting Brazilian students to the 

United States (2) establishing a campus 

in Brazil to offer courses and programs 

and (3) online training programs. 

In March 2010, the United States and 

Brazil issued a joint statement to 

reaffirm the U.S.-Brazil Partnership for 

Education. Under the Partnership, the 

two countries endeavor to share 

information and expand cooperation in 

areas including promoting educational 

excellence; promoting diversity and 

equal opportunity in education; 

assessment, indicators and 

accountability; professional 

development for teachers and 

administrators; vocational-technical 

education; second language learning 

(English/Portuguese); U.S. community 

colleges and Brazilian federal institutes; 

and higher education cooperation and 

mobility. The partnership is working to 

strengthen educational exchanges 

between research and higher education 

institutions in the Science, Technology, 

Environment and Math fields.1 Science 

Without Borders, a Brazilian 

government program, provides 

scholarships to Brazilian undergraduate 

students for one year of study at colleges 

and universities in the U.S. 

Scholarships are given primarily in the 

fields of science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics. Students 

then return to Brazil to complete their 

degrees. 

The United States has long been a top 

destination for Brazilian students 

looking to study abroad. Since 2006, the 

United States has seen an increase in 

the number of Brazilian students. There 

are some 8,777 Brazilians currently 

studying in the United States, a 16% 

increase from 2006; placing Brazil in 

13th place among country of origin of 

international students in the U.S. The 

majority (46.3%) of Brazilian students 

in the United States are undergraduate 

students with Brazilian graduate 

students not too far behind at 34.8%.2

The new agreement between the United 

States and Brazil could help reverse a 

contraction in the number of Brazilians 

studying overseas that followed a fiscal 

squeeze in the 1990s 3 when the 

government restricted fellowships for 

university study abroad, which made it 

possible for about 20,000 Brazilians to 

obtain their advanced degrees in the 

United States and Europe.4 Brazilian 

students and employers in Brazil have 

expressed the importance of education 

in areas that are well-aligned with the 

Brazilian job market. According to a 

recent Institute for Applied Economic 

Research (IPEA) study, 5.5 million 

workers in Brazil were unable to find 

jobs because they lacked the training 

and skills needed for current job 

openings. Brazil hopes to expand 

educational opportunities for students 

in order to meet employer’s needs in 

commerce, high technology, 

engineering, and construction sectors.5

The first stop on the mission itinerary 

is Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil. 

This visit would give the delegates an 

opportunity to directly interact with 

officials from the Government of Brazil 

regarding education policies. Brasilia 

has more than 114 universities 

recognized by the Ministry of Education 

(MEC). Brasilia would offer the 

delegates meetings with appropriate 

Brazilian government officials, an 

embassy reception, access to local 

bilingual high schools, and a student 

fair. 

Then the group will travel to Sa ̃o 

Paulo. The highest rate of enrollment in 

schools is found in Sa ̃o Paulo, which is 

the economically wealthiest region of 

the nation. The mission participants 

will have the opportunity to participate 

in student recruitment fairs, high 

school/university visits and optional 

one-on-one meetings. The universities 

in Sa ̃o Paulo are leaders in terms of 

education and research in Brazil.6 The 

city of Sa ̃o Paulo has several colleges 

and universities while the state of Sa ̃o 

Paulo has more than 578 universities. 

Finally, the delegation will travel to 

Rio de Janeiro to participate in a student 

recruitment fair and site visits to 

American and other bilingual high 

schools. The city of Rio de Janeiro 

boasts 99 higher education institutions 

which include 53 Universitypreparatory schools, 6 major 

universities and 47 private schools of 

higher education. The state of Rio de
