Review, 64 FR 9979, 9980 (March 1, 1999). 

7See section 751(b)(1) of the Act. See also 19 CFR 

351.216. 

Based on the information provided in 

its submission, Yongjia has provided 

sufficient evidence to warrant a review 

to determine if Shanfu II is the 

successor-in-interest to Shanfu I in the 

new shipper review. Therefore, 

pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.216(d), we are initiating 

a changed circumstances review. 

We are also initiating a changed 

circumstances review of Yongjia as well 

as on Shanfu II. Yongjia requested a 

changed circumstances review of 

Shanfu II so that it may continue to 

receive the chain-rate determined in its 

new shipper review. Normally, a 

company requests a changed 

circumstances review for itself. In a 

successor-in-interest changed 

circumstances review, we are 

determining whether a prior calculated 

rate should apply to an entity under 

review. Here, the rate is a chain-rate that 

applied to both Yongjia and Shanfu. To 

determine whether this rate should 

continue to apply to both Yongjia and 

Shanfu, we are initiating a review of 

both companies. Moreover, the statute 

authorizes us to initiate a changed 

circumstances review when we 

determine changed circumstances are 

sufficient to warrant a review.7 Here, 

changed circumstances related to both 

Shanfu and Yongjia exist, warranting a 

review of both companies. First, Yongjia 

stated that a change in ownership of 

Shanfu I raises the issue of affiliation 

between Yongjia and Shanfu II. Second, 

Yongjia requests that we conduct a 

collapsing analysis, to determine 

whether the Department should collapse 

Yongjia and Shanfu II based on the 

change in ownership, and treat the 

companies as a single entity for 

purposes of calculating antidumping 

duty rates. For these reasons, we are 

initiating a changed circumstances 

review of both parties to determine not 

only whether Shanfu II is the successorin-interest to Shanfu I but also to 

determine whether the chain-rate is still 

applicable, or whether the changed 

circumstances warrant the application 

of the PRC-wide rate to Shanfu’s and 

Yongjia’s shipments instead. 

Additionally, the Department finds it 

is necessary to issue a questionnaire 

requesting additional information for 

this review, as provided for by 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(2). For this reason, the 

Department is not conducting this 

review on an expedited basis by 

publishing preliminary results in 

conjunction with this notice of 

initiation. The Department will publish 

in the Federal Register a notice of the 

preliminary results of the changed 

circumstances review in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(i). That notice will set 

forth the factual and legal conclusions 

upon which our preliminary results are 

based and a description of any action 

proposed. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(ii), 

interested parties will have an 

opportunity to comment on the 

preliminary results of review. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the 

Department intends to issue the final 

results of its antidumping duty changed 

circumstances review not later than 270 

days after the date on which the review 

is initiated. 

During the course of this changed 

circumstances review, we will not 

change the cash deposit requirements 

for the merchandise subject to review. 

The cash deposit will only be altered, if 

warranted, pursuant to the final results 

of this review. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(l) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.216(b) and 351.221(b)(1).

International Trade Administration 

Trade Mission to Central America in 

Conjunction With the Trade 

Americas—Opportunities in Central 

America Conference, June 21–26, 2015 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Description 

The United States Department of 

Commerce, International Trade 

Administration (ITA) is organizing a 

trade mission to Central America, in 

conjunction with the Trade Americas— 

Opportunities in Central America 

Conference in Guatemala June 21–26, 

2015. U.S. trade mission delegation 

participants will arrive in Guatemala on 

or before June 21 to attend the 

networking reception to open the Trade 

Americas—Opportunities in Central 

America Conference. Trade mission 

participants will attend the Conference 

on June 22. Following the morning 

session of the conference, trade mission 

participants will participate in one-onone consultations with U.S. and Foreign 

Commercial Service (US&FCS) 

Commercial Officers and/or Economic/

Commercial Officers from the following 

U.S. Embassies in the region: Costa Rica, 

El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, 

Belize, and Nicaragua. The following 

day, June 23, trade mission participants 

will engage in business to business 

appointments with companies in 

Guatemala. A limited number of trade 

mission participants will then travel to 

either, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa 

Rica, Belize, or Nicaragua (choosing 

only one market) for optional additional 

business-to-business appointments. 

Each business to business appointment 

will be with a pre-screened potential 

buyer, agent, distributor or joint-venture 

partner. 

The Department of Commerce’s Trade 

Americas—Opportunities in Central 

America Region Conference will focus 

on regional and industry-specific 

sessions, market entry strategies, 

logistics and trade financing resources 

as well as pre-arranged one-on-one 

consultations with US&FCS Commercial 

Officers and/or Department of State 

Economic/Commercial Officers with 

expertise in commercial markets 

throughout the region. 

The mission is open to U.S. 

companies from a cross-section of 

industries with growing potential in 

Central America, but is focused on U.S. 

companies in best prospect sectors such 

as safety and security equipment; 

automotive parts/service equipment; 

food processing & packing equipment; 

renewable energy technologies, and 

hotel and restaurant equipment. 

The combination of the Trade 

Americas—Opportunities in Central 

America Conference and business-tobusiness matchmaking opportunities in 

Guatemala and one of the other optional 

Central American markets will provide 

participants with access to substantive 

information about, and strategies for, 

entering or expanding their business 

across the Central America region. 

Commercial Setting 

The mission supports the federal 

government’s Look South initiative, 

which encourages U.S. companies to 

explore opportunities in the United 

States’ 11 free trade agreement partner 

(FTA) countries in Latin America. The 

FTA in the region, CAFTA–DR, includes 

the following five Central American 

countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, 

Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. As 

a result of this FTA, 100 percent of U.S. 

consumer and industrial goods exports

76306 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 245 / Monday, December 22, 2014 / Notices 

to the CAFTA–DR countries will no 

longer be subject to tariffs by 2015. The 

CAFTA–DR region was the 14th largest 

U.S. export market in the world in 2013, 

and the third largest in Latin America 

behind Mexico and Brazil. The United 

States exported $29.5 billion in goods to 

the five Central American countries. 

Export.gov/LookSouth includes ‘‘Best 

Prospect’’ market snapshots in Central 

America. 

Guatemala 

The United States and Guatemala 

enjoy a strong and growing trade 

relationship, especially under the U.S.- 

Central America-Dominican Republic 

Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA–DR). 

The United States is Guatemala’s largest 

trading partner accounting for nearly 40 

percent of Guatemala’s trade. U.S. 

products and services enjoy strong name 

recognition in Guatemala, and U.S. 

firms have a good reputation in the 

Guatemalan marketplace. 

U.S. exports to Guatemala U.S. goods 

exports to Guatemala in 2013 were $5.5 

billion, 95 percent higher than the level 

in 2005, the year before CAFTA–DR 

entered into force. The leading sectors 

for U.S. exports and investment are: 

Automotive Accessories, Auto Parts and 

Service Equipment; Security and Safety 

Equipment; Travel and Tourism; 

Petroleum Products; and Forestry and 

Woodworking Machinery. 

Costa Rica 

The United States is Costa Rica’s main 

trading partner, accounting for about 47 

percent of Costa Rica’s total imports. 

U.S. products enjoy an excellent 

reputation for quality and pricecompetitiveness. Proximity to the Costa 

Rican market is also a major advantage 

for U.S. exporters who wish to visit or 

communicate with potential customers, 

facilitating close contacts and strong 

relationships with clients, both before 

and after the sale. U.S. goods exports to 

Costa Rica in 2013 were $7.2 billion. 

The leading sectors for U.S. exports and 

investment are: Automotive Parts; 

Accessories and Service Equipment; 

Construction Equipment; Travel and 

Tourism; Cosmetics; Franchising; and 

Solar Energy Products. 

El Salvador 

The United States is El Salvador’s 

leading trade partner. El Salvador offers 

an open market for U.S. goods and 

services. Tariffs are relatively low, and 

were reduced further with the 

implementation of the Dominican 

Republic-Central America-United States 

Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA–DR). 

The value-added tax (VAT) rate in El 

Salvador is 13 percent. El Salvador’s 

strategic location in Central America 

makes it a good platform for industrial 

and service investments aimed at reexports. U.S. goods exports to El 

Salvador in 2013 were $3.3 billion. The 

leading sectors for U.S. exports and 

investment are: Automotive Parts and 

Service Equipment; Construction; 

Franchising; and Travel and Tourism. 

Honduras 

The United States is the chief trading 

partner for Honduras, supplying 46.2 

percent of Honduran imports. Located 

in the heart of Central America, 

Honduras is the second largest country 

in the region. Its deep-water port, Puerto 

Corte ́s, is the first port in Latin America 

to qualify under both the Megaports and 

Container Security Initiatives (CSI), 

which now facilitate the screening of 

approximately 90 percent of 

transatlantic and transpacific cargo prior 

to importation into the United States. 

U.S. goods exports to Honduras in 2013 

were $5.4 billion. The leading sectors 

for U.S. exports and investment are: 

Automotive Parts/Service Equipment; 

Food Processing and Packaging 

Equipment; Franchising; Safety and 

Security Equipment; and Travel & 

Tourism Services. 

Belize 

U.S. remained Belize’s principal 

trading partner. Belize is a consumer 

nation and relies heavily on imports. 

The United States provided over 44 

percent of total Belizean merchandise 

imports in 2012. U.S. goods exports to 

Belize in 2013 were $241.2 million. The 

leading sectors for U.S. exports and 

investment are: Travel and Tourism; 

Agriculture and Agribusiness; 

Petroleum; Information Communication 

Technology and Renewable Energy and 

Green Technology. 

Nicaragua 

The United States is Nicaragua’s 

largest trading partner, the source of 

roughly a quarter of Nicaragua’s imports 

and the destination for approximately 

two-thirds of its exports (including free 

zone exports). U.S. exports to Nicaragua 

totaled $1.1 billion in 2013. The leading 

sectors for U.S. exports and investment 

are: Renewable Energy Technology; 

Food Processing and Packaging 

Equipment; Hotel and Restaurant 

Equipment; Medical and Dental 

Equipment; Building Products/

Construction Equipment; and Plastics. 

Mission Goals 

The goal of the mission is to help 

participating U.S. companies gain 

market insights, make industry contacts, 

solidify business strategies and identify 

potential partners, agents, distributors, 

and joint venture partners in Guatemala 

and, if requested, their choice of El 

Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Belize, 

and Nicaragua, laying the foundation for 

successful long-term ventures to take 

advantage of market opportunities in 

Central America. The delegation will 

have access to US&FCS Commercial 

Officers, Commercial Specialists, and 

Department of State Economic/

Commercial Officers during the mission, 

learn about business opportunities, and 

gain first-hand market exposure from 

the markets in the region. Trade mission 

participants already doing business in 

Central America will have the 

opportunity to further advance business 

relationships and explore new 

opportunities. 

Mission Scenario 

The mission will include registration 

for the Trade Americas—Opportunities 

in Central America Conference, 

including conference materials and 

admission to all sessions and 

networking events with industry and 

government representatives; industry 

and country market briefings; and 

logistical support. It also includes oneon-one appointments with pre-screened 

potential business partners in 

Guatemala and one other Central 

American market.

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b) (‘‘the Sunshine 

Act’’), and 41 CFR 102–3.50(a). 

The Committee is a discretionary 

Federal advisory committee that shall 

provide independent advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Defense and the Deputy Secretary of 

Defense, through the Deputy Chief 

Management Officer (DCMO) on how to 

best achieve the following objectives in 

commemorating the 50th Anniversary of 

the Vietnam War, as referenced in 

section 598(c) of Pub. L. 110–181: 

a. Thank and honor veterans of the 

Vietnam War, including personnel who 

were held as prisoners of war or listed 

as missing in action, for their service 

and sacrifice on behalf of the United 

States and to thank and honor the 

families of these veterans; 

b. Highlight the service of the Armed 

Forces during the Vietnam War and the 

contributions of Federal agencies and 

governmental and non-governmental 

organizations that served with, or in 

support of, the Armed Forces; 

c. Pay tribute to the contributions 

made on the home front by the people 

of the United States during the Vietnam 

War; 

d. Highlight the advances in 

technology, science, and medicine 

related to military research conducted 

during the Vietnam War; and 

e. Recognize the contributions and 

sacrifices made by the allies of the 

United States during the Vietnam War. 

The Committee shall be composed of 

no more than 20 members, who are 

appointed by the Secretary of Defense or 

the Deputy Secretary of Defense. These 

members shall represent Vietnam 

Veterans, their families, and the 

American public. Candidates for the 

Committee shall be selected from the 

Military Services (both retired veterans 

and active members who served during 

the Vietnam era), the Department of 

Defense, the Department of State, the 

Department of Veterans Affairs, and the 

Intelligence Community. In addition, 

candidates from nongovernmental 

organizations that support veterans or 

contribute to the public’s understanding 

of the Vietnam War shall be selected. 

The Committee Chair shall be 

appointed by the Secretary of Defense or 

the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Any 

leadership appointment shall not 

exceed the individual member’s 

approved term of service. 

Committee members who are not fulltime or permanent part-time Federal 

officers or employees shall be appointed 

as experts or consultants, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special 

government employee (SGE) members. 

Committee members who are full-time 

or permanent part-time Federal 

employees shall be appointed, pursuant 

to 41 CFR 102–3.130(a), to serve as 

regular government employee (RGE) 

members. 

Each Committee member is appointed 

to provide advice to the government on 

the basis of his or her best judgment 

without representing any particular 

point of view and in a manner that is 

free from conflict of interest. With the 

exception of reimbursement for official 

Committee-related travel and per diem, 

Committee members shall serve without 

compensation. 

The Secretary of Defense, or the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense, may 

approve the appointment of Committee 

members for one-to-four year terms of 

service with annual renewals. However, 

no member, unless authorized by the 

Secretary of Defense or the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, may serve more 

than two consecutive terms of service. 

This same term of service limitation also 

applies to any DoD authorized 

subcommittees. 

The Secretary of Defense, through the 

DCMO and pursuant to DoD policies 

and procedures, may appoint, as 

deemed necessary, non-voting 

consultants as subject matter experts 

(SMEs) to provide special expertise to 

the Committee. These SMEs, if not fulltime or part-time government 

employees, shall be appointed pursuant 

to 5 U.S.C. 3109 as SGEs, shall be 

appointed on an intermittent basis to 

work specific Committee-related efforts, 

shall have no voting rights whatsoever 

on the Committee or any of its 

subcommittees, shall not participate in 

the Committee’s deliberations, and shall 

not count toward the Committee’s total 

membership. All experts or consultants 

shall serve terms of appointments as 

determined by the DCMO, and those 

appointments may be renewed, as 

appropriate. 

The DoD, when necessary and 

consistent with the Committee’s mission 

and DoD policies and procedures, may 

establish subcommittees, task forces, or 

working groups to support the 

Committee. Establishment of 

subcommittees will be based upon a 

written determination, to include terms 

of reference, by the Secretary of Defense, 

the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the 

DCMO, as the DoD sponsor. 

Such subcommittees shall not work 

independently of the Committee and 

shall report all of their 

recommendations and advice solely to 

the Committee for full and open 

deliberation and discussion. 

Subcommittees, task forces, or working 

groups have no authority to make 

decisions and recommendations, 

verbally or in writing, on behalf of the 

Committee. No subcommittee or its 

members can update or report, verbally 

or in writing, on behalf of the 

Committee, directly to the DoD or to any 

Federal officer or employee. 

The Secretary of Defense or the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense will 

appoint subcommittee members to a 

term of service of one-to-four years, with 

annual renewals, even if the member in 

question is already a member of the 

Committee. 

Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time Federal officers or 

employees, shall be appointed as 

experts and consultants, pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. 3109, to serve as SGE members. 

Subcommittee members who are fulltime or permanent part-time Federal 

officers or employees will serve as RGE 

members, pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 

3.130(a). 

Each subcommittee member is 

appointed to provide advice to the 

government on the basis of his or her 

best judgment without representing any 

particular point of view and in a manner 

that is free from conflict of interest. 

With the exception of reimbursement 

for official Committee-related travel and 

per diem, subcommittee members shall 

serve without compensation. 

All subcommittees operate under the 

provisions of FACA, the Sunshine Act, 

governing Federal statutes and 

regulations, and established DoD 

policies and procedures.
