1Because the vote of the ITC with respect to 

imports of MCB from Mexico was evenly divided 

between an affirmative determination of material 

injury and a negative determination, the 

Department is treating this vote, for purposes of 

duty assessment, as an affirmative finding of 

material injury consistent with section 771(11) of 

the Act. Likewise, because the vote of the ITC with 

respect to imports of MCB from the PRC was evenly 

divided between a determination of material injury 

and a determination of threat of material injury, the 

Department is treating this vote, for purposes of 

duty assessment, as an affirmative finding of 

material injury consistent with section 771(11) of 

the Act. 

2Critical circumstances were not alleged with 

respect to imports of subject merchandise from 

Mexico. 

unweighted workers and the Census 

2000 average long form weight of six. 

The Disclosure Review Board, upon 

closer review for the ACS 5-year data 

products, decided that the key 

restriction to protect confidentiality for 

the ACS was the 50 unweighted 

workers, so the reference to a weighted 

number of workers has been dropped. 

Census Bureau staff also expanded the 

language on disclosure avoidance 

number six to clarify that in addition to 

workplace tables, the requirement for at 

least 50 unweighted workers in sample 

over the 5-year period applies to all 

non-residential geographies including 

residence 1 year ago and place-of-birth 

tables. 

4. Frequency of Data Release 

The Census Bureau received five 

comments on the proposed annual 

release of the ACS 5-year estimates. All 

five comments were in favor of the 

annual release. 

III. ACS 5-year Data Products Plans 

The Census Bureau is releasing its 

plans for the ACS 5-year data products 

via the Web. The plan provides a list of 

the tables and geographies expected to 

be included in the ACS 5-year products 

and will be updated periodically with 

new and expanded information. This 

information can be accessed at: http://

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (the 

ITC), the Department is issuing 

antidumping duty orders on certain 

magnesia carbon bricks (MCB) from 

Mexico and the People’s Republic of 

China (PRC). On September 8, 2010, the 

ITC notified the Department of its 

affirmative determinations of material 

injury to a U.S. industry. See Certain 

Magnesia Carbon Bricks from China and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 2, 2010, the Department 

published its affirmative final 

determinations of sales at less than fair 

value in the antidumping duty 

investigations of MCB from Mexico and 

the PRC. See Certain Magnesia Carbon 

Bricks from Mexico: Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, 75 FR 45097 (August 2, 

2010); and Certain Magnesia Carbon 

Bricks from the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Critical 

Circumstances, 75 FR 45468 (August 2, 

2010) (MCB from the PRC Final). 

On September 8, 2010, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determinations pursuant to section 

735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

by reason of less-than-fair-value imports 

of MCB from Mexico and the PRC.1See 

section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act. In 

addition, the ITC notified the 

Department of its final determination 

that critical circumstances do not exist 

with respect to imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC that are 

subject to the Department’s affirmative 

critical circumstances finding.2

Pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act, 

the Department is publishing 

antidumping duty orders on the subject 

merchandise. 

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of these orders includes 

certain chemically-bonded (resin or 

pitch), magnesia carbon bricks with a 

magnesia component of at least 70 

percent magnesia (‘‘MgO’’) by weight, 

regardless of the source of raw materials 

for the MgO, with carbon levels ranging 

from trace amounts to 30 percent by 

weight, regardless of enhancements (for 

example, magnesia carbon bricks can be 

enhanced with coating, grinding, tar 

impregnation or coking, high 

temperature heat treatments, anti-slip 

treatments or metal casing) and 

regardless of whether or not 

antioxidants are present (for example, 

antioxidants can be added to the mix 

from trace amounts to 15 percent by 

weight as various metals, metal alloys, 

and metal carbides). Certain magnesia 

carbon bricks that are the subject of 

these orders are currently classifiable 

under subheadings 6902.10.1000, 

6902.10.5000, 6815.91.0000, 

6815.99.2000 and 6815.99.4000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description is dispositive. 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

issued pursuant to an affirmative 

preliminary determination may not 

remain in effect for more than four 

months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
57258 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 181 / Monday, September 20, 2010 / Notices 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of the exporters 

that accounted for a significant 

proportion of exports of the subject 

merchandise in the investigations of 

MCB from Mexico and the PRC, we 

extended the four-month period to no 

more than six months. See Certain 

Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico: 

Notice of Preliminary Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Postponement of Final Determination, 

75 FR 11517 (March 11, 2010) (MCB 

from Mexico Prelim); and Certain 

Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the 

People’s Republic of China: Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Postponement of Final 

Determination 75 FR 11847 (March 12, 

2010) (MCB from the PRC Prelim). 

In these investigations, the six-month 

period beginning on the date of the 

publication of the preliminary 

determinations (i.e., March 11, 2010, for 

Mexico and March 12, 2010, for the 

PRC) will end on September 7, 2010, 

and September 8, 2010, respectively. 

Furthermore, section 737 of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 733(d) of the 

Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of MCB from Mexico and the 

PRC entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

September 7, 2010, for Mexico and 

September 8, 2010, for the PRC, and 

before the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register. Suspension of 

liquidation will resume on or after the 

date of publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

On September 8, 2010, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

less-than-fair-value imports of MCB 

from Mexico and the PRC. 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

CBP to assess, upon further advice by 

the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price or constructed 

export price of the merchandise for all 

relevant entries of MCB from Mexico 

and the PRC. These antidumping duties 

will be assessed on all unliquidated 

entries of MCB entered from Mexico and 

the PRC, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after March 11, 

2010 (Mexico), or March 12, 2010 (PRC), 

the date on which the Department 

published its notices of preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register, 

but prior to September 7, 2010 (Mexico), 

or September 8, 2010 (PRC). See MCB 

from Mexico Prelim, 75 FR at 11521; 

and MCB from the PRC Prelim, 75 FR at 

11848. 

On or after the date of publication of 

the ITC’s notice of final determinations 

in the Federal Register, CBP, pursuant 

to section 736(a)(3) of the Act, will 

require, at the same time as importers 

would normally deposit estimated 

duties on this merchandise, a cash 

deposit equal to the estimated dumping 

margins listed below. The estimated 

dumping margins for imports of subject 

merchandise from the PRC will be 

adjusted for export subsidies found in 

the final determination of the 

companion countervailing duty 

investigation of this merchandise 

imported from the PRC. See Certain 

Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination, 75 FR 45472 (August 2, 

2010). Specifically, for cash deposit 

purposes, we are subtracting from the 

applicable cash deposit rate that portion 

of the rate attributable to the export 

subsidies found in the affirmative 

countervailing duty determination on 

MCB from the PRC for respondent RHI 

Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd. and for 

the separate-rate companies, whose rate 

is the calculated rate received by RHI 

Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd. See MCB 

from the PRC Final, 75 FR at 45471.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for 

applications. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces its request 

for applications for the 2011 shark 

research fishery from commercial shark 

fishermen with a directed or incidental 

limited access permit. The shark 

research fishery allows for the collection 

of fishery-dependent data for future 

stock assessments while also allowing 

NMFS and commercial fishermen to 

conduct cooperative research to meet 

the shark research objectives for the 

Agency. The only commercial vessels 

authorized to land sandbar sharks are 

those participating in the shark research 

fishery. Shark research fishery 

permittees may also land non-sandbar 

large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal 

sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks. 

Commercial vessels not participating in 

the shark research fishery may only land 

only non-sandbar LCS, SCS, and pelagic 

sharks. Commercial shark fishermen 

who are interested in participating in 

the shark research fishery need to 

submit a completed Shark Research 

Fishery Permit Application in order to 

be considered. 

DATES: Shark Research Fishery 

Applications must be received no later 

than 5 p.m., local time, on October 20, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic shark fisheries are managed 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act). The Consolidated HMS Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) is 

implemented by regulations at 50 CFR 

part 635. 

The final rule for Amendment 2 to the 

Consolidated HMS FMP (73 FR 35778, 

June 24, 2008, corrected at 73 FR 40658, 

July 15, 2008) established, among other 

things, a shark research fishery to 

maintain time series data for stock 

assessments and to meet NMFS’ 

research objectives. The shark research 

fishery also allows selected commercial 

fishermen the opportunity to earn 

revenue from selling more sharks, 

including sandbar sharks, than allowed 

outside of the commercial shark fishery. 

Only the commercial shark fishermen 

selected to participate in the shark 

research fishery are authorized to land/ 

harvest sandbar sharks subject to the 

sandbar quota available each year. The 

base quota is 87.9 mt dw per year 

through December 31, 2012, although 

this number may be reduced in the 

event of overharvests, if any. The 

selected shark research fishery 

permittees will also have access to the 

non-sandbar LCS, SCS, and pelagic 

shark quotas. Commercial fishermen not 

participating in the shark research 

fishery may land non-sandbar LCS, SCS, 

and pelagic sharks subject to retention 

limits and quotas per 50 CFR 635.24 and 

635.27, respectively. 

The 2011 trip limits and number of 

trips per month will depend on the 

number of selected vessels, available 

quota, objectives of the research fishery, 

and the actual vessels selected. The trip 

limits and the number of trips taken 

have changed each year the research 

fishery has been active. Participants 

may also be limited on the amount of 

gear they can deploy on a given set (e.g., 

number of hooks, length of longline). In 

2010, selected vessels fishing outside of 

the Mid-Atlantic shark time/area closure 

off the coast of North Carolina were 

allowed a trip limit of 33 sandbar sharks 

and 33 non-sandbar large coastal sharks. 

Selected vessels fishing inside of the 

Mid-Atlantic shark time/area closure off 

the coast of North Carolina until July 31 

were allowed a trip limit of 66 sandbar 

sharks and 33 non-sandbar large coastal 

sharks. The vessels participating in the 

shark research fishery fished an average 

of 1.5 trips per month. 

In order to participate in the shark 

research fishery, commercial shark 

fishermen need to submit a completed 

Shark Research Fishery Application 

showing the vessel and owner(s) meet 

the specific criteria outlined below. 

Research Objectives 

Each year, NMFS determines the 

research objectives for the upcoming 

shark research fishery. The research 

objectives are developed by a shark 

board, which is comprised of 

representatives within NMFS, including 

representatives from the Southeast 

Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) 

Panama City Laboratory, Northeast 

Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) 

Narragansett Laboratory, the Southeast 

Regional Office, Protected Species 

Division (SERO\PSD), and the HMS 

Management Division. The research 

objectives for 2011 are similar to the 

research objectives for 2010, and the 

shark board based them on the 

Southeast Data, Assessment and Review 

(SEDAR) 11, 2005/2006 LCS stock 

assessment. The 2011 research 

objectives are: 

• Collect reproductive and age data 

from sandbar sharks throughout the 

calendar year; 

• Collect reproductive and age data 

for blacktip sharks for determination of 

the reproductive cycle (i.e., annual or 

biennial frequency); 

• Collect reproductive and age data 

from all species of sharks for additional 

species-specific assessments; 

• Monitor the size distribution of 

sandbar sharks and other species 

captured in the fishery; 

• Continue on-going tagging 

programs for identification of migration 

corridors and stock structure; 

• Maintain time-series of abundance 

from previously derived indices for the 

shark BLL observer program;
