66356 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2010 / Notices 

Salvi using glycine imported into India 

from the PRC. We find that the 

information presented by the domestic 

interested parties regarding this 

criterion supports their request to 

initiate an anti-circumvention inquiry. 

The Department believes that the 

domestic interested parties sufficiently 

addressed the factors described by 

sections 781(b)(1)(C) and 781(b)(2) of 

the Act regarding whether the 

processing of glycine in India is minor 

or insignificant. Specifically, in support 

of its argument, the domestic interested 

parties relied on information from 

Indian Glycine, on the domestic 

interested parties’ calculations based on 

their estimated cost of production and 

cost of processing and repackaging of 

PRC-origin glycine, allegedly performed 

by Paras, Salvi, and AICO, and 

information in the Market Research 

Report as described above. Thus, we 

find that the information presented by 

the domestic interested parties supports 

their request, as supplemented, to 

initiate an anti-circumvention inquiry. 

In particular, for the purposes of 

initiation, we find that the domestic 

interested parties have sufficiently 

supported their allegations that: (1) 

Little investment has been made by 

either Paras, Salvi, or AICO in their 

respective processing of PRC glycine; (2) 

Paras, Salvi, and AICO perform 

processing and repackaging of the 

lower-grade PRC glycine, which are 

technologically mature processes that 

do not require research and 

development by these companies; (3) 

the mere processing of the lower-grade 

glycine through refinement, 

purification, and repackaging does not 

alter the fundamental characteristics of 

the glycine, or whether it is subject to 

the scope of the PRC Glycine Order; (4) 

Paras’s, Salvi’s, and AICO’s facilities for 

processing and repackaging PRC glycine 

do not require the typically capitalintensive production facilities needed to 

manufacture glycine; and (5) refining 

and repackaging of PRC glycine 

represents a small proportion of the 

value of the merchandise exported to 

the United States. 

Our analysis will focus on Paras’s, 

Salvi’s, and AICO’s processing 

operations in India and, in the context 

of this proceeding, we will closely 

examine the extent of processing done 

in India, as well as Paras’s, Salvi’s, and 

AICO’s relationships with glycine 

suppliers in the PRC. With respect to 

the value of the merchandise produced 

in the PRC, pursuant to section 

781(b)(1)(D) of the Act, the domestic 

interested parties relied on their 

information and arguments presented in 

the ‘‘minor or insignificant’’ portion of 

their anti-circumvention request, as 

supplemented, to indicate that the value 

of PRC glycine may be significant 

relative to the total value of the glycine 

processed and repackaged in India and 

then exported to the United States. We 

find that the information provided 

adequately addresses this factor, as 

discussed above, for the purposes of 

initiating an anti-circumvention inquiry. 

Finally, the domestic interested 

parties argue that, pursuant to section 

781(b)(3) of the Act, the Department 

should also consider the pattern of 

trade, affiliation, and subsequent import 

volumes as factors in determining 

whether to initiate an anticircumvention inquiry. The export and 

import data submitted by the domestic 

interested parties suggests that imports 

of glycine from the PRC into India rose 

significantly in recent years. 

Accordingly, based on the domestic 

interested parties’ allegations, as 

supplemented, we have determined that 

domestic interested parties have 

provided a sufficient basis to initiate an 

anti-circumvention inquiry concerning 

the PRC Glycine Order, pursuant to 

section 781(b) of the Act. These anticircumvention inquiries pertain solely 

to Paras, Salvi, and AICO. 

If, within sufficient time, the 

Department receives a formal request 

from an interested party regarding 

potential anti-circumvention of the PRC 

Glycine Order by other Indian 

companies, we will consider conducting 

additional inquiries concurrently. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(l)(2), if the Department issues a 

preliminary affirmative determination, 

we will then instruct CBP to suspend 

liquidation and require a cash deposit of 

estimated duties on the merchandise. 

The Department will, following 

consultation with interested parties, 

establish a schedule for questionnaires 

and comments on the issues. The 

Department intends to issue its final 

determination within 300 days of the 

date of publication of this initiation. See 

section 781(f) of the Act. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 

Following introductions and any 

announcements, the Council will hold a 

closed session to allow Council 

members to comment on 2011–13 

nominees to its Scientific and Statistical 

Committee. Following this agenda item, 

the Council will receive brief reports 

from the Council Chairman and 

Executive Director, the NOAA Fisheries 

Regional Administrator, Northeast 

Region, Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center and Mid-Atlantic Fishery 

Management Council liaisons, NOAA 

General Counsel, representatives of the 

U.S. Coast Guard and the Atlantic States 

Marine Fisheries Commission, as well 

as NOAA Enforcement and the 

Chairman of the Research Steering 

Committee. There will be a review of 

any experimental fishery permit 

applications that have been received 

since the last Council meeting, and an 

open public comment period. This time 

is scheduled for any interested party 

who may wish to provide brief 

comments on issues relevant to Council 

business but not otherwise listed on the 

meeting agenda. Prior to a break the 

Council will discuss and approve 

management priorities for 2011–12. The 

afternoon session will begin with a 

report from the Scientific and Statistical 

Committee (SSC). It will include an 

overview of the committee=s 2011 

schedule, approval of an acceptable 

biological catch (ABC) recommendation 

for Gulf of Maine winter flounder as 

well as the NEFMC=s five-year Council 

research recommendations, a summary 

of the committee=s ongoing discussion 

of ABC control rules, and a 

comprehensive overview of the SSC=s 

white paper on Ecosystem-based 

Fisheries Management. NMFS Deputy 

Assistant Administrator for Regulatory 

Programs Sam Rauch will discuss 

coastal and marine spatial planning 

with the Council and the day will end 

with an Enforcement Committee report 

concerning recommendations for 

standardized fixed gear marking in the 

EEZ. The Council is not likely to take 

further action on these proposals until 

it consults with partner fishery 

management organizations and 

conducts a more public process to 

solicit further review and comment. 

Wednesday, November 17, 2010 

Throughout most of the day, the 

Council will discuss and take final 

action on Framework Adjustment 22 to 

the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery 

Management Plan. The primary purpose 

of the action is to set fishery 

specifications for the 2011–12 fishing 

years. Also included are measures to 

minimize the risk sea scallop gear/ 

incidental encounters with sea turtles. 

Additionally, the Council will review 

and finalize scallop research 

recommendations that will apply to the 

fishery management plan’s research setaside program and approve measures 

that will affect the general category 

scallop fishery. During this report, the 

Council will discuss the yellowtail 

flounder sub annual catch limit that will 

be allocated to the scallop fleet through 

Framework Adjustment 45 to the 

Northeast Multispecies FMP. Before 

adjournment for the day, Council 

members will consider a change to its 

skate management measures based on a 

re-analysis of skate discards provided by 

the Skate Plan Development Team. 

Thursday, November 18, 2010 

The final day of the meeting will 

begin with initial action on Framework 

Adjustment 7 to the Monkfish Fishery 

Management Plan. Management 

measures will address revisions to the 

biomass reference points, as well as a 

revised ABC and a Northern 

Management Area annual catch target 

(ACT). In view of the new ACT, a range 

of new management alternatives also 

will be considered. Finally, the 

monkfish discussion will include a 

summary of the development of 

Amendment 6 to the FMP, which will 

center on a catch share program for the 

monkfish fishery. The remainder of the 

day will be spent on multipsecies 

groundfish management-related issues. 

This will involve final action on 

Framework Adjustment 45 to the 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP). The major 

measures under consideration are: 

Possible adjustments to the yellowtail 

flounder sub annual catch limit as a 

result of action taken in Framework 22 

to the Scallop FMP; modifications to the 

Georges Bank yellowtail flounder 

rebuilding strategy and accordingly, the 

ABC; alternatives for revised status 

determination criteria and adjustments 

to the ABCs for pollock and Gulf of 

Maine winter flounder; total allowable 

catches for stocks harvested in the U.S./ 

Canada area for 2011; changes to the atsea and dockside monitoring provisions 

in the FMP; elimination of the Great 

South Channel yellowtail flounder 

spawning closures for the general 

category scallop vessels; protection for 

spawning cod in an area off the New 

Hampshire coast; and authorization for 

additional sectors. The Council also will 

discuss the issue of state-operated 

permit banks. 

Although other non-emergency issues 

not contained in this agenda may come 

before this Council for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subjects of formal 

action during this meeting. Council 

action will be restricted to those issues 

specifically listed in this notice and any 

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action 

under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided that the public 

has been notified of the Council’s intent
