Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 117 / Friday, June 19, 2009 / Notices 29179 

requests for review, this review is 

rescinded with respect to Huatian and 

True Potential. 

Intent To Rescind Review in Part 

On March 4, 2009, New-Tec 

submitted a certification of no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States. We have not received 

comments on New-Tec’s submission. 

We made inquires with CBP as to 

whether any shipments were entered 

with respect to New-Tec during the 

POR. See message number 9120201 

dated April 21, 2009. We received no 

response to that inquiry. We examined 

CBP information used in the selection of 

the mandatory respondents to further 

confirm no shipments by New-Tec 

during the POR. See ‘‘Letter from Robert 

James to All Interested Parties’’ dated 

February 9, 2009, containing CBP data 

on all entries of hand trucks and certain 

parts thereof during the POR. Based on 

the above, we preliminarily find that 

New-Tec had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR, and we 

intend to rescind the review with 

respect to New-Tec pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Interested parties may submit 

comments on the Department’s intent to 

rescind with respect to New-Tec no later 

than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary notice. 

The Department will issue the final 

notice, which will include the results of 

its analysis of issues raised in any such 

comments, in the preliminary results of 

the review. 

Since Hardware 

Because the Department is rescinding 

the review with respect to Huatian and 

True-Potential, and because the 

Department intends to rescind the 

review with respect to New-Tec, the 

Department has decided to make Since 

Hardware the mandatory respondent in 

this review. Since Hardware was issued 

a complete questionnaire to respond to 

on May 5, 2009. On May 26, 2009, Since 

Hardware entered its notice of 

appearance in this segment of the 

proceeding. The Department will issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

regarding the rescinded companies 

directly to U.S. Bureau of Customs and 

Border Protection. 

Extension of Preliminary Results 

The Department has determined that 

it is not practicable to complete the 

preliminary results by the current 245- 

day deadline of September 2, 2009. The 

Department selected Since Hardware as 

a mandatory respondent on May 5, 

2009, four days after petitioners 

withdrew their request for a review of 

the two previously-selected mandatory 

respondents Huatian and True Potential. 

See Memorandum to the File, ‘‘Re: 

Selection of New Mandatory 

Respondent,’’ dated May 5, 2009. 

Because May 5, 2009 was more than 

three months subsequent to the 

initiation of this review, we will need 

additional time to analyze Since 

Hardware’s response and complete the 

antidumping calculation. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for the preliminary results by 120 days 

to December 31, 2009. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

section 351.402(f) of the Department’s 

regulations 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 assumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and subsequent assessment of 

double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding APOs 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with section 351.305(a)(3) of the 

Department’s regulations. Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice is issued and published in 

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

Tariff Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) of 

the Department’s regulations. 

Dated: June 12, 2009.

Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject amendment to Permit No. 1032– 

1917 is requested under the authority of 

the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 

1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.), and the regulations governing the 

taking and importing of marine 

mammals (50 CFR part 216). 

Permit No. 1032–1917, issued on 

September 4, 2007 (72 FR 51621), 

authorizes the permit holder to continue 

long-term studies of the Weddell seal 

(Leptonychotes weddellii) population in 

the Erebus Bay, McMurdo Sound, Ross 

Sea, and White Island areas of 

Antarctica. Up to 325 adults and 800 

pups may be captured annually. 

Animals may be weighed, tissued 

sampled, flipper tagged, and released. 

Annually up to 2000 Weddell, 50 

crabeater (Lobodon carcinophagus), and 

50 leopard (Hydrurga leptonyx) seals 

may be incidentally disturbed as a result 

of the research activities. The permit 

authorizes up to 4 (2 adults and 2 pups) 

Weddell seal research-related 

mortalities annually. The permit holder 

is requesting the permit be amended to 

include authorization for use of a small 

temperature logging tag on pups. The 

additional tag would be used to measure 

the amount of time pups spend in the 

water. This information would be used 

as part of the mass dynamics studies. 

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 this 

application to the Marine Mammal 

Commission and its Committee of 

Scientific Advisors.
