Final Results of Review

As a result of our review of the

comments received, we have

determined that the following margins

exist:

Manufacturer/exporter Time period Margin

(percent)

China National Chemical Construction Corporation .............................................................................................. 8/1/93–7/31/94 60.68

Hainan Garden Trading Company ......................................................................................................................... 8/1/93–7/31/94 67.05

Sinochem Hebei Import & Export Corporation ...................................................................................................... 8/1/93–7/31/94 7.70

Zhenxing Chemical Industry Company* ................................................................................................................ 8/1/93–7/31/94 0.00

PRC Rate ............................................................................................................................................................... 8/1/93–7/31/94 85.20

* Yude and Zhenxing have been collapsed for the purposes of this administrative review. However, we have listed them separately on this

chart for Customs purposes.

The Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of these final results for all

shipments of sulfanilic acid from the

PRC entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the publication date, as provided for by

section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) the cash

deposit rates for reviewed companies

named above which have separate rates

will be the rates for those firms listed

above; (2) for the companies which were

not found to have a separate rate,

Baoding No. 3 Chemical Factory, China

National Chemical Construction

Corporation, Qingdao Branch, Jinxing

Chemical Factory, Sinochem Qingdao,

and Sinochem Shandong, as well as for

all other PRC exporters, the cash deposit

rate will be the highest margin ever in

the LTFV investigation or in this or

prior administrative reviews, the PRCwide rate; and (3) the cash deposit rate

for non-PRC exporters of subject

merchandise from the PRC will be the

rate applicable to the PRC supplier of

that exporter. These deposit

requirements shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the

next administrative review.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 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 notice also serves as a 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 CR 353.34(d)(1). Timely written

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable

violation.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section 751(a)(1)

of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19

CFR 353.22.

National Voluntary Conformity

Assessment System Evaluation

(NVCASE) Program

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice; request for public

comment.

SUMMARY: This is to advise the public

that the National Institute of Standards

and Technology (NIST) received a letter

dated July 25, 1996 from The National

Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Inspectors requesting the development

of a new program under the National

Voluntary Conformity Assessment

Systems Evaluation (NVCASE) Program.

The letter requests NVCASE to evaluate

and accredit that Board as an ISO–9000

registrar so that it, in turn, can conduct

audits of manufacturers of pressure

vessels according to ISO–9000, formally

registering those which are in

compliance. The Board’s goal is to

achieve acceptance by Canada and other

governments of ISO 9000 registrations

performed in the United States on an

equal basis with those performed in

those other countries.

DATES: Comments on this request must

be received by December 30, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

submitted in writing to Robert L.

Gladhill, NVCASE Program Manager,

NIST, Bldg. 820, Room 282,

Gaithersburg, MD 20899, by fax at 301–

963–2871, or email rlglad@nist.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert L. Gladhill, NVCASE Program

Manager, at NIST, Bldg. 820, Room 282,

Gaithersburg, MD 20899, by telephone

at 301–975–4029, by fax at 301–963–

2871 or by email at rlgad@nist.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

NVCASE procedures at 15 CFR Part 286

require NIST to seek public consultation

when it receives such requests. This

program involves a collection of

information subject to the Paperwork

Reduction Act. This collection is

approved by the Office of Management

and Budget under control No. 0693–

0019.

The text of the request follows:

July 25, 1996.

Mr. Robert L. Gladhill, Program Manager,

NVCASE Program, NIST, Bldg. 820,

Room 282, Gaithersburg, MD 20899

Dear Mr. Gladhill: The National Board of

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors is

requesting NIST to accredit the National

Board as an ISO–9000 registrar under the

NVCASE program. We would like to

coordinate our activities with NIST to

achieve our goal in the most expeditious

manner possible. Successful efforts from both

our organizations will help boiler and

pressure vessel manufacturers in the global

marketplace.

The National Board is the central

organization in the United States that

coordinates certification and enforcement

activities in the boiler and pressure vessel

industry. The National Board is comprised of

the chief inspectors of the states and certain

cities of the Unites States. These chief
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 15, 1996 / Notices 53719

inspectors are responsible for the

enforcement of regulation pertaining to the

construction, installation, operation, repair,

and alteration of boilers and pressure vessels.

Certification by a government body is

consistent with the founding principles of

the National Board.

Since its founding in 1919, the National

Board has been assisting the states in the

enforcement of boiler and pressure vessel

safety legislation. Currently, most of the

audits of boiler and pressure vessel

manufacturers, installers, and assemblers in

the United States are conducted by the

National Board and its members. Also, all

audits of manufacturers and assemblers of

safety valves are conducted by the National

Board. These audits are conducted to assure

compliance with the requirements of the

quality and construction standards, and to

ensure compliance with the regulations of

the states and cities. The ability to certify to

ISO–9000 will allow manufacturers the

option to expand their markets

internationally.

The National Board has conducted audits

at nuclear generating stations. The Nuclear

Regulatory Commission in their deliberations

has used results of the audits in its decisions

on the licensing of stations. These audits are

conducted on programs complying with 10

CFR 50 that are identical to ISO–9000.

Currently, requirements are in place by

Canadian authorities requiring an accepted

quality program for import into Canada. The

U.S. fitting/flange manufacturers may have

their quality program reviewed by provincial

authorities or be in possession of a Certificate

issued by an accredited registrar. The

National Board is among organizations

recognized by these authorities as a body that

can certify manufacturers. Lacking

accreditation, we are unable to assist U.S.

manufacturers in their attempts to enter this

market.

The National Board has been in

discussions with the Registrar Accreditation

Board(RAB) on the issue of certification of

personnel. Their policy is that in order for an

applicant for accreditation to be considered

by them, RAB must certify the applicant’s

personnel. Other accreditors of ISO–9000

registrars recognize a registrar’s ability to

certify their own personnel in accordance

with ISO–10011. This issue has caused a

stalemate in our relationship with RAB

preventing the National Board from

becoming accredited by RAB.

On behalf of the members of the National

Board, I look forward to working with NIST

on the NVCASE program.

Yours truly,

Albert J. Justin,

Executive Director.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration

Coastal Zone Management; Federal

Consistency Appeal

AGENCY: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration,

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of appeal and request for

comments.

Jessie W. Taylor (Appellant), filed

with the Secretary of Commerce

(Secretary) a notice of appeal pursuant

to section 307(c)(3)(A) of the Coastal

Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA),

as amended, 16 U.S.C. §§ 1451 et seq.,

and the Department of Commerce’s

implementing regulations, 15 CFR Part

930, Subpart H. The appeal is taken

from an objection by the South Carolina

Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource

Management (State) to the Appellant’s

project which involves placing fill

material in approximately 0.6 acres of

wetlands for the purpose of commercial

development. The site of the proposed

project consists of two undeveloped

lots, which are located in a commercial

area adjacent to Highway 17, in Surfside

Beach, Horry County, South Carolina.

The Appellant has certified that the

project, for which a U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers permit must be obtained, is

consistent with the State’s coastal

management program (CMP).

The CZMA provides that a timely

objection by a state precludes any

federal agency from issuing licenses or

permits for the activity unless the

Secretary finds that the activity is either

‘‘consistent with the objectives’’ of the

CZMA (Ground I) or ‘‘necessary in the

interest of national security’’ (Ground

II). Section 307(c)(3)(A). To make such

a determination, the Secretary must find

that the proposed project satisfies the

requirements of 15 CFR 930.121 or

930.122.

The Appellant requests that the

Secretary override the State’s

consistency objections based on Ground

I. To make the determination that the

proposed activity is ‘‘consistent with the

objectives’’ of the CZMA, the Secretary

must find that: (1) the proposed activity

furthers one or more of the national

objectives or purposes contained in

section 302 or section 303 of the CZMA,

(2) the adverse effects of the proposed

activity do not outweigh its contribution

to the national interest, (3) the proposed

activity will not violate the Clean Air

Act or the Federal Water Pollution

Control Act, and (4) no reasonable

alternative is available that would

permit the activity to be conducted in a

manner consistent with the State’s CMP.

15 CFR 930.121.

Public comments are invited on the

findings that the Secretary must make as

set forth in the regulations at 15 CFR

930.121. Comments are due within 30

days of the publication of this notice

and should be sent to Mr. Roger B.

Eckert, Attorney-Adviser, Office of the

Assistant General Counsel for Ocean

Services, National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 1305 EastWest Highway, Room 6111, Silver

Spring, MD 20910. Copies of comments

will also be forwarded to the Appellant

and the State.

All nonconfidential documents

submitted in this appeal are available

for public inspection during business

hours at the offices of the State and the

Office of the Assistant General Counsel

for Ocean Services.
