merchandise, each timely requested an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on brake rotors 

from the PRC for entries of the subject 

merchandise during the period April 1, 

2007, through March 31, 2008. 

Therefore, on May 29, 2008, the 

Department initiated a review of Dixion, 

Haimeng, Longkou Orient, Luqi, and 

Wally. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 31813 (June 4, 2008). 

The International Trade Commission 

(ITC) subsequently determined, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on brake rotors from the PRC 

would not be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. The ITC notified the Department 

of its decision on June 12, 2008, and 

published its decision on June 18, 2008. 

See Brake Rotors from China: 

Investigation No. 731–TA–744 (Second 

Review), 73 FR 34790 (June 18, 2008), 

and ITC Publication 4009 Inv. No. 731– 

TA–744 (Second Review) (June 2008). 

Based on the ITC’s decision, the 

Department subsequently revoked the 

antidumping duty order on brake rotors 

from the PRC, effective August 14, 2007. 

See Brake Rotors from the People’s 

Republic of China: Revocation of 

Antidumping Duty Order Pursuant to 

Second Five-Year (Sunset) Review, 73 

FR 36039 (June 25, 2008) (Revocation 

Notice). As a result of the revocation of 

this order, effective August 14, 2007, the 

period of review (POR) of this segment 

was changed to April 1, 2007, through 

August 13, 2007. See Revocation Notice, 

73 FR at 36040; and Memorandum to 

the File entitled ‘‘Change in the Period 

of Review,’’ dated June 27, 2008. 

In a letter dated July 11, 2008, Dixion 

and Wally withdrew their requests for 

review and requested that the 

Department rescind the review with 

respect to them. On August 12, 2008, 

Longkou Orient also withdrew its 

request for review, as did Haimeng and 

Luqi on August 13, 2008. 

Rescission, in Part, of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the party 

who requested the review withdraws 

the request within 90 days of the date 

of publication of the notice of initiation 

of the requested review. Accordingly, 

Dixion, Haimeng, Longkou Orient, Luqi, 

and Wally timely withdrew their 

requests for review within the 90-day 

period and no other party requested a 

review of their entries. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

we are rescinding this administrative 

review with respect to these companies. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the companies 

for which this review has been 

rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 

assessed, if applicable, at rates equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or 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 notice is published in 

accordance with section 777(i) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: September 9, 2008.

ACTION: Notice of Southeastern Data, 

Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) 

Procedural Workshop on Indices 

Development and Selection Criteria. 

SUMMARY: Measures of population 

abundance are critical to developing 

adequate and reliable quantitative stock 

assessments. Given the complexity of 

developing indices of abundance and 

determining which indices may be 

useful for use in stock assessments, a 4 

day workshop will be convened to 

gather key members of the SEDAR 

assessment community to prepare a 

guide to index development and 

evaluation. Topics of discussion will 

include: methods for indices 

development, review of criteria used in 

determining usefulness of indices in 

past SEDARs, meta-analysis of indices 

presented in past SEDARs (examining 

factors such as duration, coefficients of 

variation, and spatial coverage), and 

possible criteria for indices selection. 

Participants will produce summaries 

and/or documents of various issues to 

be discussed prior to the workshop and 

participant in the development of the 

final report during and after the 

meeting. 

DATES: The SEDAR Indices Procedural 

Workshop will take place October 14– 

17, 2008; SEDAR - Indices Procedural

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR includes 

three workshops: (1) Data Workshop, (2) 

Stock Assessment Workshop and (3) 

Review Workshop. The product of the 

Data Workshop is a data report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses. The product of the Stock 

Assessment Workshop is a stock 

assessment report which describes the 

fisheries, evaluates the status of the 

stock, estimates biological benchmarks, 

projects future population conditions, 

and recommends research and 

monitoring needs. The assessment is 

independently peer reviewed at the 

Review Workshop. The product of the 

Review Workshop is a Consensus 

Summary documenting Panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office and 

Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 

Participants include data collectors and 

database managers; stock assessment 

scientists, biologists, and researchers; 

constituency representatives including 

fishermen, environmentalists, and 

NGO’s; International experts; and staff 

of Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

Each SEDAR workshop panel is asked 

to provide research and monitoring 

recommendations to improve future 

assessments and feedback on the 

process to help improve SEDAR itself. 

Over time, certain key topics emerge 

that reveal a research need or 

procedural suggestion that is common to 

multiple assessments. The SEDAR 

Steering Committee endorses procedural 

workshops such as that noticed here to 

address those issues that affect multiple 

assessments and require more time and 

resources to resolve than are typically 

available during the normal assessment 

development process. The goal of these 

workshops is to develop guidelines and 

practices that will increase the 

efficiency of subsequent SEDAR 

assessments. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before these groups for discussion, in 

accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during these meetings. Actions 

will be restricted to those issues 

specifically identified in this notice and 

any issues arising after publication of 

this notice that require emergency 

action under section 305(c) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the 

public has been notified of the Council’s 

intent to take final action to address the 

emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

These meetings are physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to the Council office 

(see ADDRESSES) at least 10 business 

days prior to each workshop.

ACTION: Notice of Southeastern Data, 

Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) 

Procedural Workshop on Catchability. 

SUMMARY: Due to a paucity of fisheryindependent monitoring information, 

stock assessments of Southeastern 

fisheries resources conducted through 

SEDAR rely heavily on evaluating 

fishery-dependent data sources to detect 

population abundance signals. Recently, 

assessment methods were developed 

that allowed for relaxation of the 

constant catchability assumption 

typically used when analyzing fishery 

dependent catch per unit effort 

information. While both assessment 

scientists and participating constituent 

representatives agree it is highly 

unlikely that catchability has remained 

constant, agreeing on the specifics that 

allow incorporating catchability changes 

remains a challenge. 

SEDAR will convene a workshop 

including representatives from Federal 

and state agencies, non-governmental 

organizations, Council technical and 

constituent advisors, and university 

researchers to evaluate catchability 

issues. Participants will review 

information addressing catchability 

changes, develop recommendations for 

incorporating catchability changes in 

SEDAR assessments, and recommend 

criteria for consideration when 

developing catchability profiles for 

individual species or fisheries. 

Participants will prepare a SEDAR 

procedures document addressing their 

recommendations that will be used to 

guide future SEDAR assessments. 

DATES: The SEDAR Catchability 

Procedural Workshop will take place
