SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department published the 

Preliminary Results on December 1, 

2008. On January 22, 2009, the domestic 

producers Washington Mills, C + E 

Minerals, and Treibacher Schleifmittel 

Corp. (collectively, ‘‘domestic 

producers’’), and the respondent 

Qingdao Shunxingli submitted case 

briefs. On January 29, 2009, the 

domestic producers and Qingdao 

Shunxingli submitted rebuttal briefs. At 

the request of the domestic producers, 

we held a public hearing on February 6, 

2009. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is ground, pulverized or refined 

artificial corundum, also known as 

brown aluminum oxide or brown fused 

alumina, in grit size of 3/8 inch or less. 

Excluded from the scope of the order is 

crude artificial corundum in which 

particles with a diameter greater than 3/ 

8 inch constitute at least 50 percent of 

the total weight of the entire batch. The 

scope includes brown artificial 

corundum in which particles with a 

diameter greater than 3/8 inch 

constitute less than 50 percent of the 

total weight of the batch. The 

merchandise under investigation is 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

2818.10.20.00 and 2818.10.20.90 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

covered by the order is dispositive.

Final Results of the Review 

We determine that the following 

percentage weighted–average dumping 

margin exists for the period November 

1, 2006, through October 31, 2007: 

Manufacturer/Exporter Weighted–Average 

Margin (Percent) 

Qingdao Shunxingli 

Abrasives Co. Ltd. .... 46.88 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department 

will determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. 

Cash–Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of the administrative review for all 

shipments of RBAO from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject 

merchandise exported by Qingdao 

Shunxingli, the cash–deposit rate will 

be that established in the final results of 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above 

that have separate rates, the cash– 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company–specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) for all other PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise, which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash–deposit rate will 

be the PRC–wide rate of 135.18 percent; 

and (4) for all non–PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise, the cash–deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporter that supplied that non– 

PRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice 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 antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to the 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under the APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

Timely written notification of the return 

or destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 20, 2009 / Notices 23683 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice of final results is issued 

and published in accordance with 

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

Act.

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report for the 

Proposed Replacement of the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s Southwest Fisheries 

Science Center Located in La Jolla, CA 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (NEPA), NOAA announces 

the availability of the joint Final EIS/EIR 

analyzing the environmental impacts of 

replacing the Southwest Fisheries 

Science Center (SWFSC). This Final 

EIS/EIR is prepared pursuant to NEPA 

to assess the environmental impacts of 

replacing the existing SWFSC buildings 

with a new facility located on campus 

of the Scripps Institution of 

Oceanography (SIO) within the 

University of California at San Diego 

(UCSD) campus in La Jolla, California. 

The Final EIS/EIR includes 

consideration of all comments received 

during the official comment period for 

the Draft EIS/EIR. The Final EIS/EIR has 

been distributed to interested parties 

and responsible government agencies. 

DATES: Any written comments on the 

Final EIS/EIR must be postmarked or 

transmitted to the responsible official 

below by June 19, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

N. Doremus, Ph.D, NOAA, 301 713– 

3372 x180, or Anne Elston, 

Environmental Research Analyst, 333 

Ravenswood Avenue, G 234, Menlo 

Park, CA 94025–3493, SRI International 

(650) 859–2693; e-mail 

Anne.Elston@sri.com. NOAA is not 

required to respond to comments 

received as a result of issuance of the 

Final EIS/EIR; however comments will 

be reviewed and considered for their 

impact on issuance of the Record of 

Decision (ROD). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Marine Fisheries Services 

(NMFS) is responsible for the 

management, conservation, and 

protection of living marine resources 

within the U.S. Exclusive Economic 

Zone. The SWFSC in La Jolla, 

California, manages and conducts 

research involving Pacific fisheries and 

marine mammal research for the 

protection and management of these 

resources throughout Western Pacific 

and Antarctica. The existing SWFSC 

facility, built in 1964, is currently 

adjacent to a coastal bluff that is 

undergoing severe erosion and retreat. 

NOAA proposes to construct a new 

SWFSC building to replace its existing 

NMFS administrative and marine 

research facilities currently located in 

La Jolla, California. A minimum of two 

existing at-risk SWFSC structures would 

be removed and the property currently 

used by NOAA would be returned to 

UCSD for other appropriate uses. 

NOAA is the lead Federal agency for 

implementation of the NEPA. The 

University of California is the lead 

agency under the CEQA. The existing 

and preferred sites for the SWFSC 

headquarters are at the UCSD campus. 

The NMFS, SIO and other marine 

research organizations conduct 

independent and joint research at the 

SWFSC and its salt water laboratory 

facilities. 

The proposed action would require 

construction of a new facility to support 

SWFSC administrative and marine 

research operations. The preferred site 

will enable NMFS, SIO, and others to 

continue collaboration within a wide 

range of programmatic marine research 

disciplines. 

Alternative actions analyzed in the 

Final EIS/EIR include: 

• Bluff stabilization 

• On-site redevelopment 

• On- and near-site redevelopment 

• Off-site development at SIO Deep 

Sea Drilling Site 

• Off-site development at UCSD 

Hillside Neighborhood Site 

• Leased office and research space 

• Collocation of SWFSC with other 

existing NOAA facilities 

• No Action 

This joint Final EIS/EIR analyzes 

environmental impacts that may result 

from implementation of the proposed 

and alternative actions and identifies 

measures to avoid or reduce the 

intensity of environmental impacts. 

Decision Process 

The government decision as to how to 

proceed will be announced in a Record 

of Decision (ROD) to be issued no earlier 

than 30 days after publication of this 

NOA. 

Dated: May 13, 2009.
