SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2008, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on brake rotors 

from the PRC. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 73 

FR 17317 (April 1, 2008). In response, 

Dixion, Haimeng, Longkou Orient, Luqi, 

and Wally, exporters of the subject 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

53194 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 179 / Monday, September 15, 2008 / Notices 

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.

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.
