Less Than Fair Value: Barium Carbonate From the 

People’s Republic of China, 68 FR 46577 (August 

6, 2003) (‘‘Final Determination’’). 

the Department is initiating a CCR of the 

antidumping duty order on LEU from 

France with respect to AREVA. Based 

on the information and documentation 

AREVA submitted in its November 10, 

2014 letter, we find that we have 

received sufficient information to 

warrant initiation of a review to 

determine if changed circumstances 

exist to support the extension of time to 

re-export the specified entry of LEU. 

Section 351.221 (c)(3)(ii) of the 

Department’s regulations permits the 

Department to combine the notice of 

initiation of a changed circumstances 

review and the notice of preliminary 

results if the Department concludes that 

expedited action is warranted. In this 

instance, because we have on the record 

the information necessary to make a 

preliminary finding, we find that 

expedited action is warranted, and have 

combined the notice of initiation and 

the notice of preliminary results. 

Preliminary Results of Expedited 

Changed Circumstances Review 

Based on the Department’s analysis of 

the information provided by AREVA in 

its request for a CCR, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.216, we preliminarily 

determine that changed circumstances 

to extend the time period for reexportation a third time do not exist, 

and that AREVA should not be granted 

an additional extension of time to reexport this one entry of subject 

merchandise. 

In its Third CCR Request, AREVA 

explained that the Japanese end-user 

remained unable to take delivery of the 

subject LEU due to conditions caused by 

the March 11, 2011 earthquake and 

tsunami in Japan, that the Japanese enduser was working to comply with 

‘‘detailed and lengthy’’ regulatory 

requirements of Japan’s Nuclear 

Regulatory Authority, and that AREVA 

and the Japanese end-user were unable 

to confirm when re-export of the subject 

entry of LEU would be possible.9

In the Final Results of Second 

Changed Circumstances Review, the 

Department stated that ‘‘. . . if the 

Japanese end-user is unable to take 

delivery by the November 1, 2015 

deadline, AREVA, the U.S. importer as 

well as the French exporter, will be 

required to re-export this sole entry to 

France or pay antidumping duties on 

the entry at the applicable rate.’’ 10

Given that the situation where the 

Japanese end-user would be unable to 

take delivery was anticipated in the 

previous CCR, we do not consider this 

situation to be ‘‘changed 

circumstances.’’ 

The Department stated in the Final 

Results of Second Changed 

Circumstances Review,11 that this 

would be the final extension, and 

further stated in the accompanying 

decision memorandum that to allow the 

re-export deadline to be extended 

indefinitely would mean ‘‘ignoring this 

aspect of the scope.’’12

The Department preliminarily 

determines that changed circumstances 

do not exist beyond the changed 

circumstances already recognized in the 

two previous changed circumstances 

reviews, and that AREVA will not be 

granted a further extension to re-export 

the specified entry of LEU.

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) and the 

International Trade Commission (the 

‘‘ITC’’) that revocation of the 

antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on 

barium carbonate from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing a notice of 

continuation of the antidumping duty 

order. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 17, 

2015.

4518, February 2015). 

Department issued the AD order on 

barium carbonate from the PRC.2 There 

have been no administrative reviews 

since issuance of the Order. There have 

been no related findings or rulings (e.g., 

changed circumstances review, scope 

ruling, duty absorption review) since 

issuance of the Order. On January 9, 

2009, the Department published the 

final results of the expedited first sunset 

review of this Order.3 On March 17, 

2009, the Department published the 

continuation of the Order.4

On February 3, 2014, the Department 

initiated the second five-year (‘‘sunset’’) 

review of the AD order on barium 

carbonate from the PRC pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).5 As a result of 

its review, the Department determined 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on barium carbonate from the PRC 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail should the 

order be revoked.6 On February 6, 2015, 

the ITC published its determination, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on barium carbonate from the PRC 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.7

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is barium carbonate, regardless of 

form or grade. The product is currently 

classifiable under subheading 

2836.60.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the AD order would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, pursuant 

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the 

Department hereby orders the 

continuation of the AD order on barium 

carbonate from the PRC. U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection will continue to 

collect AD cash deposits at the rates in 

effect at the time of entry for all imports 

of subject merchandise. The effective 

date of the continuation of the order 

will be the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of this notice of 

continuation. Pursuant to section 

751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the order not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: February 9, 2015.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Southeast Region Vessel and 

Gear Identification Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0358. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 7,825. 

Average Hours per Response: Vessel 

marking, 75 minutes; gear marking 

varies from 10 seconds for cultured live 

rocks, to 20 minutes for mackerel gillnet 

buoys. 

Burden Hours: 50,575. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

regular submission (revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection). With this 

request, OMB Control No. 0648–0359, 

Southeast Region Gear Identification 

Requirements is being merged into OMB 

Control No. 0648–0358, Southeast 

Region Vessel Identification 

Requirements. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) Southeast Region manages the 

U.S. fisheries in the exclusive economic 

zone (EEZ) of the South Atlantic, 

Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico regions 

under various Fishery Management 

Plans (FMPs). The Regional Fishery 

Management Councils prepared the 

FMPs pursuant to the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act. The regulations 

implementing the FMPs are located at 

50 CFR part 622. 

The recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements at 50 CFR part 622 form 

the basis for this collection of 

information. NMFS Southeast Region 

requires that all permitted fishing 

vessels must mark their vessel with the 

official identification number or some 

form of identification. A vessel’s official 

number, under most regulations, is 

required to be displayed on the port and 

starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, 

and weather deck. The official number 

and color code identifies each vessel 

and should be visible at distances from 

the sea and in the air. These markings 

provide law enforcement personnel 

with a means to monitor fishing, at-sea 

processing, and other related activities, 

to ascertain whether the vessel’s 

observed activities are in accordance 

with those authorized for that vessel. 

The identifying number is used by 

NMFS, the United States Coast Guard 

(USCG) and other marine agencies in 

issuing violations, prosecutions, and 

other enforcement actions. Vessels that 

qualify for particular fisheries are 

readily identified, gear violations are 

more readily prosecuted, and this 

allows for more cost-effective 

enforcement. 

Requirements, also at 50 CFR part 

622, that fishing gear be marked, are 

also essential to facilitate enforcement. 

The ability to link fishing gear to the 

vessel owner is crucial to enforcement 

of regulations issued under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

The marking of fishing gear is also 

valuable in actions concerning damage, 

loss, and civil proceedings. The 

requirements imposed in the Southeast 

Region are for coral aquacultured live 

rock; golden crab traps; mackerel gillnet 

floats; spiny lobster traps; black sea bass 

pots; and buoy gear. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
