entered values, the Department intends 

to calculate importer- (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem rates by aggregating 

the dumping margins calculated for all 

U.S. sales to the importer- (or customer) 

and dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to the 

importer- (or customer).21 Where the 

Department calculates an importer- (or 

customer)-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin by dividing the total 

amount of dumping for reviewed sales 

to the importer- (or customer) by the 

total sales quantity associated with 

those transactions, the Department will 

direct CBP to assess importer- (or 

customer)-specific assessment rates 

based on the resulting per-unit rates.22

Where an importer- (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is 

greater than de minimis, the Department 

will instruct CBP to collect the 

appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de 

minimis, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.23

On October 24, 2011, the Department 

announced a refinement to its 

assessment practice in NME 

antidumping duty cases.24 Pursuant to 

this refinement in practice, for entries 

that were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by an exporter 

individually examined during this 

review, the Department will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

PRC-wide rate. Additionally, pursuant 

to this refinement, if the Department 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number will be liquidated at the PRCwide rate. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The Department will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted-average amount by which the 

normal value exceeds U.S. price. The 

following cash deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

final results of this administrative 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero for that exporter); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity and (4) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213.

Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Administrative Review; 2013–2014 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings 

(‘‘NMPF’’) from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) April 1, 2013, through March 

31, 2014. This review covers one PRC 

company, Overseas Industrial 

Corporation (‘‘OIC’’).1 The Department 

preliminarily finds that OIC is part of 

the PRC-wide entity. Interested parties 

are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 8, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

finished and unfinished non-malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings with an inside 

diameter ranging from 1/4 inch to 6 

inches, whether threaded or 

unthreaded, regardless of industry or 

proprietary specifications. For a full 

description of the scope of the order, see

2On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and 

Compliance changed the name of Enforcement and 

Compliance’s AD and CVD Centralized Electronic 

Service System (‘‘IA ACCESS’’) to AD and CVD 

Centralized Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’). 

The Web site location was changed from http://

iaaccess.trade.gov to http://access.trade.gov. The 

Final Rule changing the references to the 

Regulations can be found at 79 FR 69046 

(November 20, 2014). 

3See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Pursuant to the Department’s change in practice, 

the Department no longer considers the non-market 

economy entity as an exporter conditionally subject 

to administrative reviews. See Antidumping 

Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in 

Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional 

Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME 

Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 

65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the 

non-market economy entity will not be under 

review unless a party specifically requests, or the 

Department self-initiates, a review of the entity. 

Because no party requested a review of the entity, 

the entity is not under review and the entity’s rate 

is not subject to change.

Memorandum from Gary Taverman, 

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations to Paul Piquado, Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, dated concurrently with 

these results and hereby adopted by this 

notice (‘‘Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum’’). 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided as an Appendix to the notice. 

This memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(‘‘ACCESS’’).2 ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov and in the Central 

Records Unit, room 7046 of the main 

Department of Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly on the Internet at 

http://www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The 

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Because OIC has not demonstrated its 

eligibility for a separate rate, we 

preliminarily find it to be part of the 

PRC-wide entity 3 and subject for the 

rate previously established for the PRCwide entity, i.e., 75.50 percent.4

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results and 

may submit case briefs and/or written 

comments, filed electronically using 

ACCESS, within 30 days of the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii). Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, will be due five days after the 

due date for case briefs, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.309(d). Parties who submit 

case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding 

are requested to submit with each 

argument a statement of the issue, a 

summary of the argument not to exceed 

five pages, and a table of statutes, 

regulations, and cases cited, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties, who wish to request 

a hearing, or to participate in a hearing 

if one is requested, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, filed electronically using 

ACCESS. Electronically filed case 

briefs/written comments and hearing 

requests must be received successfully 

in their entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, ACCESS, by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, within 

30 days after the date of publication of

will be notified of the time and date of 

the hearing which will be held at the 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington 

DC 20230. The Department intends to 

issue the final results of this 

administrative review, including the 

results of its analysis of the issues raised 

in any written briefs, not later than 120 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.6 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. The 

Department intends to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries of subject merchandise 

from Overseas Industrial Corporation at 

75.50 percent (the rate previously 

determined for the PRC-wide entity). 

The Department announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME antidumping duty cases. Pursuant 

to this refinement in practice, for 

merchandise that was not reported in 

the U.S. sales databases submitted by an 

exporter individually examined during 

this review, but that entered under the 

case number of that exporter (i.e., at the 

individually-examined exporter’s cash 

deposit rate), the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, 

pursuant to this refinement, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

under review had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number will be 

liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.7

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of review, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) For previously investigated or 

reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

which are not under review in this 

segment of the proceeding but which 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate published for the most recent 

period; (2) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

including Overseas Industrial 

Corporation, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-wide rate of 75.50 percent; 

and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporter(s) that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR 222–226), and the Fur Seal Act of 

1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151 et 

seq.). 

The applicant proposes to receive, 

import, and export tissue and other 

specimen materials (e.g., body fluids) 

for comparative research on the 

physiology and other biological aspects 

of marine mammals. Unlimited samples 

from up to 200 individual cetaceans and 

200 individual pinnipeds (excluding 

walrus) are requested to be received, 

imported, or exported annually on an 

opportunistic basis. Marine mammal 

samples will be collected by others 

under separate existing permits and may 

be obtained from the following sources: 

(1) Animals killed during legal 

subsistence harvests in the U.S. and 

abroad; (2) animals that died incidental 

to legal commercial fishing operations 

in the U.S. and in foreign countries (i.e., 

bycatch); (3) animals stranded alive or 

dead in foreign countries; (4) samples 

collected from captive animals, 

including live animals and those that 

die in captivity, where such samples 

were taken as a result of routine 

husbandry/medical procedures/

examination or under separate permit or 

authorization in the U.S. and abroad; 

and (5) samples from other permitted 

research in the U.S. and abroad. 

Samples collected from stranded 

animals in the U.S. and received under 

separate authorization may be exported 

and re-imported. No takes of live 

animals is requested or would be 

permitted. The applicant has requested 

a 5-year permit. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial 

determination has been made that the 

activity proposed is categorically 

excluded from the requirement to 

prepare an environmental assessment or 

environmental impact statement. 

Concurrent with the publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register, 

NMFS is forwarding copies of the 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
