the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the

Act’’) by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department’s regulations are to

the regulations as set forth at 19 CFR

351 (2000).

Background

The Department published in the

Federal Register on August 18, 2000 an

antidumping duty order on structural

steel beams from Korea. See Structural

Steel Beams from Korea: Notice of

Antidumping Duty Order 65 FR 50502

(August 18, 2000). In an August 30,

2000 letter to the Department,

petitioners in the above case requested

that the Department conduct a changed

circumstances review pursuant to

section 751(b) of the Act to determine

whether Inchon should properly be

considered the successor firm to the premerger Inchon and Kangwon, and if, as

such, Inchon should maintain the cash

deposit rate assigned to Inchon in the

investigation. See Final Determination

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

Structural Steel Beams from Korea, 65

FR 41437 (July 5, 2000) (as amended 65

FR 50501 (August 18, 2000)). We

published a notice of initiation of a

changed circumstances review on

September 15, 2000 to determine

whether Inchon is the successor to the

merger of Inchon and Kangwon. See

Initiation of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review: Structural Steel Beams from

Korea, 65 FR 55944. The Department

issued questionnaires on September 29,

2000 and December 1, 2000 and

received responses on November 6,

2000 and December 15, 2000. As

provided in section 782(i) of the Act,

from January 17–19, 2001, the

Department conducted an on-site

verification of the information on the

record. See January 29, 2001

Verification Report at 1. (A public

version is located in Room B–099 of the

main Department building.) On March

21, 2001, the Department published in

the Federal Register the preliminary

results of its antidumping duty changed

circumstance review. As noted above,

the Department did not receive

comments from interested parties.

The Department is conducting the

changed circumstances review in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(f).

Scope of Review

The products covered by this review

are doubly-symmetric shapes, whether

hot-or cold-rolled, drawn, extruded,

formed or finished, having at least one

dimension of at least 80 mm (3.2 inches

or more), whether of carbon or alloy

(other than stainless) steel, and whether

or not drilled, punched, notched,

painted, coated or clad. These products

include, but are not limited to, wideflange beams (‘‘W’’ shapes), bearing

piles (‘‘HP’’ shapes), standard beams

(‘‘S’’ or ‘‘I’’ shapes), and M-shapes.

All products that meet the physical

and metallurgical descriptions provided

above are within the scope of this

investigation unless otherwise

excluded. The following products are

outside and/or specifically excluded

from the scope of this investigation:

structural steel beams greater than 400

pounds per linear foot or with a web or

section height (also known as depth)

over 40 inches.

The merchandise subject to this

investigation is classified in the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at

subheadings: 7216.32.0000,

7216.33.0030, 7216.33.0060,

7216.33.0090, 7216.50.0000,

7216.61.0000, 7216.69.0000,

7216.91.0000, 7216.99.0000,

7228.70.3040, 7228.70.6000. Although

the HTSUS subheadings are provided

for convenience and Customs purposes,

the written description of the

merchandise under investigation is

dispositive.

Successorship

On the basis of the record developed

in this proceeding, we determine that

Inchon is the successor-in-interest to the

merger of Inchon and Kangwon for the

purposes of determining antidumping

duty liability. For a complete discussion

of the basis for this decision, see the

‘‘Preliminary Results.’’

Final Results of Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

The Department determines Inchon is

the successor to the merger of Inchon

and Kangwon, and thus, Inchon shall

retain the antidumping duty deposit rate

assigned to Inchon by the Department in

the investigation. We are issuing and

publishing this determination and

notice in accordance with sections

751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and

section 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(i).

Mugu, CA. Under the Marine Mammal

Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct

the Secretary of Commerce to allow,

upon request, the incidental, but not

intentional taking of small numbers of

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who

engage in a specified activity (other than

commercial fishing) within a specified

geographical region if certain findings

are made and either regulations are

issued or, if the taking is limited to

harassment, notice of a proposed

authorization is provided to the public

for review.

Permission may be granted if NMFS

finds that the taking will have no more

than 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 and that the

permissible methods of taking and

requirements pertaining to the

monitoring and reporting of such taking

are set forth.

On April 10, 1996 (61 FR 15884),

NMFS published an interim rule

establishing, among other things,

procedures for issuing incidental

harassment authorizations (IHAs) under

section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA for

activities in Arctic waters. For

additional information on the

procedures to be followed for this

authorization, please refer to that

document.

Summary of Request

On May 23, 2001, NMFS received an

application from NBVC requesting an

authorization for the harassment of

small numbers of marine mammals

incidental to the demolition and

removal of approximately 12 buildings

and associated infrastructures. The

demolition site encompasses a total area

of approximately 8 acres (3.2 hectares

(ha)) at the entrance of Mugu Lagoon in

Point Mugu, CA.
