meet the requirements of section 

773(e)(2)(B) of the Act because it is 

predominately a trading company in 

building materials, while AHI is 

predominately a provider of services 

and products to a customer base of 

marine, offshore, and engineering 

industries which is substantially 

divergent from that of Precision and 

Dubai Wire. Further, because this source 

of information did not provide enough 

detail to calculate selling expenses for 

Dubai Wire and Precision Fasteners, we 

used the companies’ respective 

company-wide selling-expense rates. 

See company-specific analysis 

memoranda. With respect to Precision, 

see also Comment 7 of accompanying 

Issues and Decision Memorandum to 

this final determination. We find that 

this approach satisfies sufficiently the 

criteria of section 773(e) because the 

selling expenses were derived for 

subject merchandise as well as for 

products in the same general category as 

subject merchandise. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the 

Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of 

nails from the United Arab Emirates 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

November 3, 2011, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination. We will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit or the posting of 

a bond equal to the weighted-average 

margins, as indicated below, as follows: 

(1) The rates for Dubai Wire, Precision, 

and Tech Fast will be the rates we have 

determined in this final determination; 

(2) if the exporter is not a firm identified 

in this investigation but the producer is, 

the rate will be the rate established for 

the producer of the subject 

merchandise; (3) the rate for all other 

producers or exporters will be 4.55 

percent, as discussed in the ‘‘All-Others 

Rate’’ section, below. These suspensionof-liquidation instructions will remain 

in effect until further notice.

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated all-others 

rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Dubai Wire and 

Precision Fasteners are the only 

respondents in this investigation for 

which we calculated a company-specific 

rate that is not zero or de minimis or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. Therefore, because there are 

only two relevant weighted-average 

dumping margins for this final 

determination and because using a 

weighted-average calculation risks 

disclosure of business proprietary 

information of Dubai Wire and Precision 

Fasteners, the ‘‘all-others’’ rate is a 

simple-average of these two values, 

which is 4.55 percent. See Seamless 

Refined Copper Pipe and Tube From 

Mexico: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 60723,

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to parties in 

this proceeding the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we have notified the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

our final determination. As our final 

determination is affirmative and in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will determine, within 45 

days, whether the domestic industry in 

the United States is materially injured, 

or threatened with material injury, by 

reason of imports or sales (or the 

likelihood of sales) for importation of 

the subject merchandise. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does exist, 

the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding APO 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely 

notification of the destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: March 19, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Import

Mammals: Taking Marine Mammals 

Incidental to Navy’s Training Activities 

at the Gulf of Mexico Range Complex

ACTION: Notice; issuance of a Letter of 

Authorization. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA), as amended, and 

implementing regulations, notification 

is hereby given that NMFS has issued a 

two-year Letter of Authorization (LOA) 

to the U.S. Navy (Navy) to take marine 

mammals by harassment incidental to 

its training activities at the Gulf of 

Mexico (GOMEX) Range Complex. 

DATES: Effective from March 18, 2012, 

through March 17, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA (16 

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) directs the Secretary 

of Commerce to allow, upon request, the 

incidental, but not intentional taking of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a military readiness activity if 

certain findings are made and 

regulations are issued. 

Authorization may be granted for 

periods of 5 years or less if NMFS finds 

that the taking will have a negligible 

impact on the species or stock(s), and 

will not have an unmitigable adverse 

impact on the availability of the species 

or stock(s) for subsistence uses. In 

addition, NMFS must prescribe 

regulations that include permissible 

methods of taking and other means of 

effecting the least practicable adverse 

impact on the species and its habitat, 

and on the availability of the species for 

subsistence uses, paying particular 

attention to rookeries, mating grounds, 

and areas of similar significance. The 

regulations also must include 

requirements pertaining to the 

monitoring and reporting of such taking. 

Regulations governing the taking of 

marine mammals incidental to the U.S. 

Navy’s training activities at the GOMEX 

Range Complex were published on 

February 17, 2011 (76 FR 9250), and 

remain in effect through February 17, 

2016. They are codified at 50 CFR part 

218 subpart D. These regulations 

include mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements for the 

incidental taking of marine mammals by 

the Navy’s training activities. For 

detailed information on these actions, 

please refer to the February 17, 2011, 

Federal Register notice and 50 CFR part 

218 subpart D. On February 1, 2012, 

NMFS published a final rule (77 FR 

4917) that allows for the issuance of 

multi-year LOAs, as long as the 

regulations governing such LOAs are 

valid. 

Summary of LOA Request 

NMFS received an application from 

the U.S. Navy for an LOA covering the 

Navy’s training activities at the GOMEX 

Range Complex in the Gulf of Mexico 

under the regulations issued on 

February 17, 2011 (76 FR 9250). The 

application requested authorization, for 

a period of two years, to take, by 

harassment, marine mammals incidental 

to proposed training activities that 

involve underwater explosive 

detonation. 

Summary of Activity Under the 2011 

LOA 

Between March 2011 and January 

2012, there were no training events 

conducted in the GOMEX Range 

Complex. 

Planned Activities for 2012 Through 

2014 

In 2012 through March 2014, the 

Navy expects to conduct the same type 

and amount of training activities 

identified in the final rules and 2011 

LOA. No modification is proposed by 

the Navy for its planned 2012—2014 

activities under the 2011 rule. 

Estimated Take for 2012–2014 

The estimated takes for the Navy’s 

proposed training activities are the same 

as those authorized in 2011. No change
