Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 1996 / Notices 21161

for home market indirect selling

expenses and profit in the data base. For

these missing values, we assigned

values of the average of home market

selling expenses and profit reported for

other home market products. Otherwise,

we relied on the respondents’ reported

CV amounts, as verified by the

Department. For selling expenses, we

used the weighted-average home market

direct and indirect selling expenses.

Currency Conversion

For purposes of the preliminary

results, in accordance with section

773(A)(a), we made currency

conversions based on the official

exchange rates in effect on the dates of

the U.S. sales as certified by the Federal

Reserve Bank of New York. Section

773A(a) directs the Department to use a

daily exchange rate in order to convert

foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.

Non-Shipper

Pacific Pipe stated that it did not have

shipments during the POR, and we

confirmed this with the United States

Customs Service. Therefore, we are

treating Pacific Pipe as a non-shipper for

this review.

Preliminary Results of the Review

As a result of our comparison of USP

and NV, we preliminarily determine

that the following weighted-average

dumping margin exists:

Manufacturer/Exporter

Period Margin

Saha Thai 3/1/94- 2/28/95 1.07%

Pacific Pipe

Co. ......... 3/1/94–2/28/95 (1)

(1) No sales during review period.

Parties to the proceeding may request

disclosure within five days of the date

of publication of this notice. Any

interested party may request a hearing

within 10 days of publication. Any

hearing, if requested, will be held 44

days after the date of publication or the

first business day thereafter. Case briefs

and/or other written comments from

interested parties may be submitted not

later than 30 days after the date of

publication. Rebuttal briefs and

rebuttals to written comments, limited

to issues raised in those comments, may

be filed not later than 37 days after the

date of publication of this notice. The

Department will publish the final

results of this administrative review,

which will include the results of its

analysis of issues raised in any such

comments.

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Individual differences between

export price and NV may vary from the

percentage stated above. Upon

completion of this review, the

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

rates will be effective upon the

publication of the final results of these

administrative reviews for all shipments

of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes

from Thailand entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse, for consumption on or

after the publication date, as provided

for by section 751(a)(2)(c) of the Act: (1)

The cash deposit rate for the reviewed

companies will be that established in

the final results of this review; (2) for

previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is

not a firm covered in this review, or the

original LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufacturers or

exporters will continue to be 15.67

percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made

effective by the LTFV investigation.

These requirements, when imposed,

shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next

administrative review.

This notice serves as a preliminary

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.

These preliminary results of review

are published pursuant to section

751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.22.

Endangered Species; Permits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Issuance of permit 1001 (P606)

and receipt of a notification of

withdrawal of a request for a permit

(P45V).

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

NMFS has issued a permit that

authorizes a take of an Endangered

Species Act-listed species for the

purpose of scientific research/

monitoring, subject to certain conditions

set forth therein, to the Contra Costa

Water District at Concord, CA (CCWD)

and has received a notification of

withdrawal of a request for a scientific

research/enhancement permit from the

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at

Sacramento, CA (FWS).

ADDRESSES: The applications and

related documents are available for

review in the following offices, by

appointment:

Office of Protected Resources, F/PR8,

NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver

Spring, MD 20910–3226 (301-713-1401);

and

Environmental and Technical

Services Division, 525 NE Oregon

Street, Suite 500, Portland, OR 97232–

4169 (503–230–5400).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

permit was issued under the authority

of section 10 of the Endangered Species

Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531–

1543) and the NMFS regulations

governing ESA-listed fish and wildlife

permits (50 CFR parts 217–222).

Notice was published on February 23,

1996 (61 FR 6975) that an application

had been filed by CCWD (P606) for a

scientific research/monitoring permit.

Permit 1001 was issued to CCWD on

April 26, 1996. Permit 1001 authorizes

CCWD a take of juvenile, endangered,

Sacramento River winter-run chinook

salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

associated with monitoring the Mallard

Slough pumping facility for the

presence of ESA-listed species in

compliance with the California ESA

requirements provided by the California

Department of Fish and Game. The

monitoring results will indicate the

relative abundance of sensitive fish

species and allow CCWD to modify the

operation of the Mallard Slough facility

as necessary to minimize potential

entrainment losses. Permit 1001 expires

on July 31, 2001.
21162 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 91 / Thursday, May 9, 1996 / Notices

Notice was published on November

27, 1995 (60 FR 58334) that an

application had been filed by FWS

(P45V) for a scientific research/

enhancement permit. FWS applied for a

scientific research/enhancement permit

to continue their authorization to take

adult and juvenile, endangered,

Sacramento River winter-run chinook

salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

associated with supplementation

hatchery programs and a captive

broodstock program, currently

authorized under permit 747. Permit

747, issued to FWS on August 8, 1991,

was to expire on December 31, 1995 but

was extended by two amendments (61

FR 346, January 4, 1996; 61 FR 16898,

April 18, 1996) to expire on November

30, 1996. Due to continued technical

concerns with hybridization and

imprinting problems, NMFS was unable

to complete the necessary actions

required to issue a new scientific

research/enhancement permit to replace

permit 747.

The amendments also established a

moratorium on the collection of adult

ESA-listed fish for broodstock in 1996 to

avoid compromising the genetic

integrity of the winter-run chinook

salmon population due to the

hybridization problems and to avoid a

significant drain on the 1996 spawning

population if juveniles continue to

imprint exclusively on Battle Creek,

where FWS’s Coleman National Fish

Hatchery is located, rather than

returning to the mainstem Sacramento

River as intended.

NMFS has received notification that

FWS would like to withdraw their

request for a scientific research/

enhancement permit. Prior to the

expiration of permit 747, FWS will

submit a new scientific research/

enhancement permit application that

will fully discuss the operational

procedures to be implemented to correct

the hybridization and imprinting

problems.

Issuance of the permit, as required by

the ESA, was based on a finding that the

permit: (1) Was requested in good faith,

(2) will not operate to the disadvantage

of the ESA-listed species that is the

subject of the permit, and (3) is

consistent with the purposes and

policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA

and the NMFS regulations governing

ESA-listed species permits.
