People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Sunset 

Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order, 

79 FR 27573 (May 14, 2014). 

351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties any entries for which the 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.50 percent). 

The Department recently announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement 

in practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales databases 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during this review, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the NME-wide 

rate. In addition, if the Department 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will 

be liquidated at the NME-wide rate. For 

a full discussion of this practice, see 

NME Antidumping Proceedings. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because the antidumping duty order 

on frontseating service valves from the 

PRC has been revoked,17 the 

Department will not issue cash deposit 

instructions at the conclusion of this 

administrative review. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

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 the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305(a)(3), this notice serves as a 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) 

of their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under the APO. 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

These final results of review and 

notice are published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act. 

Dated: November 24, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and

Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to 

Specified Activities; Taking Marine 

Mammals Incidental to Rocky Intertidal 

Monitoring Surveys on the South 

Farallon Islands, California 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; proposed incidental 

harassment authorization; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has received an 

application from the National Ocean 

Service’s Office of National Marine 

Sanctuaries Gulf of the Farallones 

National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS) for 

an Incidental Harassment Authorization 

(IHA) to take marine mammals, by 

harassment, incidental to rocky 

intertidal monitoring work and 

searching for black abalone, components 

of the Sanctuary Ecosystem Assessment 

Surveys. Pursuant to the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS 

is requesting comments on its proposal 

to issue an IHA to GFNMS to 

incidentally take, by Level B harassment 

only, marine mammals during the 

specified activity. 

DATES: Comments and information must 

be received no later than January 2, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the 

application should be addressed to Jolie 

Harrison, Chief, Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources, National Marine 

Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West 

Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910. The 

mailbox address for providing email 

comments is ITP.Pauline@noaa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the 

MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct 

the Secretary of Commerce to allow, 

upon request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

issued or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed 

authorization is provided to the public 

for review. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the 

taking will have a negligible impact on 

the species or stock(s), will not have an 

unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of the species or stock(s) for 

subsistence uses (where relevant), and if 

the permissible methods of taking, other 

means of effecting the least practicable 

impact on the species or stock and its 

habitat, and requirements pertaining to 

the mitigation, monitoring and reporting 

of such takings are set forth. NMFS has 

defined ‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 

216.103 as ‘‘. . . an impact resulting 

from the specified activity that cannot 

be reasonably expected to, and is not 

reasonably likely to, adversely affect the 

species or stock through effects on 

annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’ 

Except with respect to certain 

activities not pertinent here, the MMPA 

defines ‘‘harassment’’ as: ‘‘Any act of 

pursuit, torment, or annoyance which (i) 

has the potential to injure a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild [Level A harassment]; or (ii) has 

the potential to disturb a marine 

mammal or marine mammal stock in the 

wild by causing disruption of behavioral 

patterns, including, but not limited to, 

migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, 

feeding, or sheltering [Level B 

harassment].’’ 

Summary of Request 

On August 18, 2014, NMFS received 

an application from GFNMS for the 

taking of marine mammals incidental to 

rocky intertidal monitoring work and 

searching for black abalone. NMFS 

determined that the application was 

adequate and complete on August 29, 

2014. 

GFNMS proposes to continue rocky 

intertidal monitoring work and the 

search for black abalone in areas 

previously unexplored for black abalone 

from January 16 through January 23, 

2015. All work will be done only during 

daylight minus low tides. This is a longterm study that began in 1992. This 

IHA, if issued, would be effective from 

January 10 through January 30, 2015, to 

allow for flexibility in the sampling 

schedule. Twelve sites are proposed for 

sampling. The following specific aspects 

of the proposed activities are likely to 

result in the take of marine mammals: 

Presence of survey personnel near 

pinniped haulout sites and approach of 

survey personnel towards hauled out 

pinnipeds. Take, by Level B harassment 

only, of individuals of five species of 

marine mammals is anticipated to result 

from the specified activity. 

NMFS previously issued an IHA to 

GFNMS for this activity on November 8, 

2012. The IHA was effective from 

November 8, 2012, through November 7, 

2013. However, GFNMS did not 

conduct any abalone sampling during 

this time period. Therefore, no take 

occurred. NMFS subsequently issued a 

Federal Register Notice on November 

27, 2013 for a proposed incidental 

harassment authorization for GFNMS to 

conduct monitoring activities from 

January 20 to February 8, 2014. GFNMS 

determined that it would be unable to 

undertake the described monitoring 

activities during that period. Therefore, 

an IHA was not issued, and no take 

occurred because the project did not go 

forward. 

Description of the Specified Activity 

Overview 

Since the listing of black abalone as 

‘‘endangered’’ under the U.S. 

Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.), NMFS has requested that 

GFNMS explore as much of the 

shoreline as possible, as well as 

document and map the location of
