(February 24, 2016) (TFTEA). 13See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Anhui Luan and 

Kunshan Xinrui each submitted 

respective documentation establishing 

the following: (1) The date on which it 

first shipped subject merchandise for 

export to the United States; (2) the 

volume of its first shipment and 

subsequent shipments; and (3) the date 

of its first sale to an unaffiliated 

customer in the United States.9

Period of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the period of review 

(POR) for a NSR initiated in the month 

immediately following the anniversary 

month will be the twelve-month period 

immediately preceding the anniversary 

month. Therefore, the POR for these 

NSRs is September 1, 2016, through 

August 31, 2017. 

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), we find that 

the requests from Anhui Luan and 

Kunshan Xinrui meet the threshold 

requirements for initiation of (1) a NSR 

for shipments of freshwater crawfish tail 

meat from the PRC produced and 

exported during the POR by Anhui 

Luan,10 and (2) a NSR for shipments of 

freshwater crawfish tail meat from the 

PRC produced by Leping Yongle and 

exported during the POR by Kunshan 

Xinrui.11

The Trade Facilitation and Trade 

Enforcement Act of 2015 12 amended 

section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 

including provisions which apply to 

these NSRs. Specifically, the TFTEA 

amended the Act so that, as of February 

24, 2016, the Department no longer 

instructs U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to allow an importer 

the option of posting a bond or security 

in lieu of a cash deposit during the 

pendency of a NSR. 

Unless extended, the Department 

intends to issue the preliminary results 

of these NSRs no later than 180 days 

from the date of initiation and final 

results of the reviews no later than 90 

days after the date the preliminary 

results are issued.13

It is the Department’s usual practice, 

in cases involving non-market economy 

countries, to require that a company 

seeking to establish eligibility for an 

antidumping duty rate separate from the 

country-wide rate provide evidence of 

de jure and de facto absence of 

government control over the company’s 

export activities. Accordingly, we will 

issue questionnaires to Anhui Luan and 

Kunshan Xinrui which will include a 

section requesting information 

concerning each company’s eligibility 

for a separate rate. We will rescind the 

NSR of Anhui Luan or Kunshan Xinrui 

if we determine that either company has 

not demonstrated that it is eligible for a 

separate rate. 

Because Anhui Luan certified that it 

produced and exported subject 

merchandise, the sale of which is the 

basis for its request for a NSR, we will 

instruct CBP to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Anhui Luan. Similarly, because 

Kunshan Xinrui certified that Leping 

Yongle produced subject merchandise 

that Kunshan Xinrui exported, the sale 

of which is the basis for its request for 

a NSR, we will instruct CBP to continue 

to suspend liquidation of all entries of 

subject merchandise produced by 

Leping Yongle and exported by 

Kunshan Xinrui. 

To assist in its analysis of the bona 

fide nature of Anhui Luan’s and 

Kunshan Xinrui’s respective sales, upon 

initiation of these NSRs, the Department 

will require Anhui Luan and Kunshan 

Xinrui, respectively, to submit on an 

ongoing basis complete transaction 

information concerning any sales of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States that were made subsequent to the 

POR. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in the NSRs 

should submit applications for 

disclosure under administrative 

protective order, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.305 and 351.306. 

This initiation and notice are 

published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).

Stainless Steel Bar From India: 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review and Intent To 

Reinstate Certain Companies in the 

Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting a 

changed circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel bar (SS Bar) from India to 

determine whether Venus Wire 

Industries Pvt. Ltd. and its affiliates 

Precision Metals, Sieves Manufacturers 

(India) Pvt. Ltd., and Hindustan Inox 

Ltd. (collectively, Venus Group), or 

Viraj Profiles Ltd. (Viraj) have resumed 

dumping SS Bar and whether the 

antidumping order should be reinstated 

for SS Bar from India produced and/or 

exported by the Venus Group and 

produced and/or exported by Viraj. The 

period of review is July 1, 2015, through 

June 31, 2016. 

We preliminarily determine that the 

Venus Group and Viraj (collectively, the 

respondents) have sold SS Bar at less 

than normal value (NV) and that SS Bar 

produced and/or exported by the 

respondents should be reinstated in the 

antidumping order on SS Bar from 

India. We will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of SS Bar 

produced and/or exported by the 

respondents and entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable October 18, 2017.

customs purposes only; the written 

description of the scope of the order is 

dispositive.1

Basis for Reinstatement 

In requesting revocation, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.222(b)(2)(i)(B), the 

respondents agreed to immediate 

reinstatement of the order, so long as 

any exporter or producer is subject to 

the order, if the Secretary concludes that 

subsequent to the revocation, certain 

respondents sold SS Bar at less than 

NV.2 Under 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2)(i)(B) 

as long as any exporter or producer is 

subject to an antidumping duty order 

which remains in force, an entity 

previously granted a revocation may be 

reinstated under that order if it is 

established that the entity has resumed 

the dumping of subject merchandise. 

In this case, because other exporters 

in India remain subject to the SS Bar 

order, the order remains in effect, and 

the respondents may be reinstated in the 

order. The Department conditionally 

revoked the order with respect to 

respondents based in part upon their 

agreement to immediate reinstatement 

in the antidumping duty order if the 

Department were to find that the 

companies resumed dumping of SS Bar 

from India.3

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, we have 

examined the respondents’ responses 

and have preliminarily found that the 

respondents’ dumping margin for the 

review period is greater than de 

minimis, on the basis of adverse facts 

available. Accordingly, we preliminarily 

intend to reinstate the respondents in 

the antidumping duty order on SS Bar 

from India. 

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

changed circumstances review in 

accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the 

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

and 19 CFR 351.216(d). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov, and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

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

signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content.

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of Review

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the 

preliminary results of changed 

circumstances review within five days 

after public announcement of the 

preliminary results of changed 

circumstances review in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Because the 

Department preliminarily applied AFA 

to each of the respondents in this 

changed circumstances review, in 

accordance with section 776 of the Act, 

there are no calculations to disclose. 

As explained in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, we intend to 

send a final supplemental questionnaire 

to the Venus Group after these 

preliminary results of review. We will 

disclose the schedule for submitting 

briefs and requesting a hearing to all 

interested parties at a later date. 

Reinstatement and Suspension of 

Liquidation 

Because we have preliminarily 

established that SS Bar from India 

produced and/or exported by the 

respondents is being sold at less than 

NV, the respondents are hereby 

preliminarily reinstated in the 

antidumping duty order. We will 

instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of 

all entries of subject merchandise 

produced and/or exported by the 

respondents, entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Furthermore, a 

cash deposit requirement of 30.92 

percent will be in effect for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

produced and/or exported by either the 

Venus Group or Viraj, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice. This requirement 

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) 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.We are 

issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b) of the Department’s 

regulations.

Restoration Plan and Finding of No 

Significant Impact 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), and a Consent Decree with BP 

Exploration & Production Inc. (BP), 

entered in: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig 

‘‘Deepwater Horizon’’ in the Gulf of 

Mexico, on April 20, 2010, MDL No. 

2179 in the United States District Court 

for the Eastern District of Louisiana, the 

Deepwater Horizon Federal and State 

natural resource trustee agencies for the 

Texas Trustee Implementation Group 

(Texas TIG) have prepared the Final 

2017 Restoration Plan and 

Environmental Assessment: Restoration 

of Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore 

Habitats; and Oysters (Final RP/EA). 

The Final RP/EA describes and, in 

conjunction with the associated Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI), 

selects 13 preferred alternatives 

considered by the Texas TIG to restore 

natural resources and ecological 

services injured or lost as a result of the 

Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Texas 

TIG evaluated alternatives under criteria 

set forth in the OPA natural resource 

damage assessment regulations, and 

evaluated the environmental 

consequences of the restoration 

alternatives in accordance with NEPA. 

The selected projects are consistent with 

the restoration alternatives selected in 

the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Final 

Programmatic Damage Assessment and 

Restoration Plan/Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(PDARP/PEIS). The Federal Trustees of 

the Texas TIG have determined that 

implementation of the Final RP/EA is 

not a major Federal Action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment within the context of 

NEPA. They have concluded a FONSI is 

appropriate, and, therefore, an 

Environmental Impact Statement will 

not be prepared. The purpose of this 

notice is to inform the public of the 

approval and availability of the Final 

RP/EA and FONSI. 

ADDRESSES: Obtaining Documents: You 

may download the Final RP/EA and 

FONSI at http://www.gulfspill

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

On April 20, 2010, the mobile 

offshore drilling unit Deepwater 

Horizon, which was being used to drill 

a well for BP in the Macondo prospect 

(Mississippi Canyon 252–MC252), 

exploded, caught fire, and subsequently 

sank in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in 

an unprecedented volume of oil and 

other discharges from the rig and from 

the wellhead on the seabed. The 

Deepwater Horizon oil spill is the 

largest maritime oil spill in United 

States history, discharging millions of 

barrels of oil over a period of 87 days. 

In addition, well over one million 

gallons of dispersants were applied to 

the waters of the spill area in an attempt 

to disperse the spilled oil. An 

undetermined amount of natural gas 

also was released to the environment as 

a result of the spill. 

The Deepwater Horizon Federal and 

State natural resource trustees (DWH 

Trustees) conducted the natural 

resource damage assessment (NRDA) for 

the Deepwater Horizon oil spill under 

the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA; 33 

U.S.C. 2701 et seq.). Pursuant to OPA, 

Federal and State agencies act as 

trustees on behalf of the public to assess 

natural resource injuries and losses and 

to determine the actions required to 

compensate the public for those injuries 

and losses. OPA further instructs the 

designated trustees to develop and 

implement a plan for the restoration, 

rehabilitation, replacement, or 

acquisition of the equivalent of the 

injured natural resources under their 

trusteeship, including the loss of use 

and services from those resources from 

the time of injury until the time of 

restoration to baseline (the resource 

quality and conditions that would exist 

if the spill had not occurred) is 

complete. 

The DWH Trustees are:
