The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On April 3, 2017, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from China (82 FR 16160–16162 and 16166–16168). The Commission is conducting reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Country in these reviews is China. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product consisting of stainless steel sheet and strip, corresponding to Commerce’s scope.

In its original determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as consisting of all domestic producers of stainless steel sheet and strip. (5) The Order Date is the date that the antidumping and countervailing duty orders under review became effective. In these reviews, the Order Date is April 3, 2017. (6) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission’s rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408.

SUMMARY : The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of the final phase of antidumping investigation Nos. 731–TA–1567–1569 (Final) pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’) to determine whether an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of imports of acrylonitrile- butadiene rubber (NBR) from France, Mexico, and South Korea, provided for in subheading 4002.59.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, preliminarily determined by the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold at less-than- fair-value. DATES : February 2, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Kristina Lara ((202) 205–3386), Office of Investigations, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Hearing- impaired persons can obtain information on this matter by contacting the Commission’s TDD terminal on 202– 205–1810. Persons with mobility impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access to the Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202–205–2000. General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by accessing its internet server (https:// www.usitc.gov). The public record for these investigations may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Scope.—For purposes of these investigations, Commerce has defined the subject merchandise as ‘‘acrylonitrile butadiene rubber or nitrile rubber (AB Rubber). AB Rubber is a synthetic rubber produced by the emulsion polymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile with or without the incorporation of a third component selected from methacrylic acid or isoprene. This scope covers AB Rubber in solid or nonaqueous liquid form. The scope also includes carboxylated AB Rubber. Excluded from the scope of this investigation is AB Rubber in latex form (commonly classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 4002.51.0000). Latex AB Rubber is commonly either (a) acrylonitrile/ butadiene polymer in latex form or (b) acrylonitrile/butadiene/methacrylic acid polymer in latex form. The broader definition of latex refers to a water emulsion of a synthetic rubber obtained by polymerization. Also excluded from the scope of this investigation is: (a) AB Rubber containing additives incorporated during the compounding, mixing, molding, or use of AB Rubber comprising greater than twenty percent of the total weight of the product. Additives would include, but are not limited to, fillers (e.g., carbon black, silica, clay); reinforcement agents (e.g., fibers, carbon black, silica); vulcanization agents (e.g., sulfur, sulfur complexes, peroxide); or AB Rubber containing extension oils making up greater than forty percent of the total weight of the product. Such products would be generally classified under HTSUS subheading 4005; (b) AB Rubber containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) making up greater than twenty percent of total weight of the product; (c) hydrogenated AB Rubber (commonly referred to as AB Rubber) produced by subsequent dissolution and hydrogenation of AB Rubber; and (d) reactive liquid polymers containing acrylonitrile and butadiene with amine, epoxy, carboxyl or methacrylate vinyl chemical functionality. Subject merchandise includes material matching the above description that has been finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in a third country, including by modifying physical form or packaging with another product, or performing any other finishing, packaging, or processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the AB Rubber. The merchandise subject to this investigation is classified in the HTSUS at subheading 4002.59.0000. While the HTSUS subheading numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive.’’ Background.—The final phase of these investigations is being scheduled, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), as a result of affirmative preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) from France, Korea and Mexico are being sold in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of § 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The investigations were requested in a petition filed on June 30, 2021, by Zeon Chemicals L.P. and Zeon GP, LLC (collectively ‘‘Zeon’’), Louisville, Kentucky. For further information concerning the conduct of this phase of the investigations, hearing procedures, and rules of general application, consult the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).

The complaint alleged a violation of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of electrical connectors and cages, components thereof, and products containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of the ’117 patent; U.S. Patent No. 8,371,875 (‘‘the ’875 patent’’); U.S. Patent No. 8,864,521 (‘‘the ’521 Patent’’); the ’255 patent; and the ’767 patent. The complaint also alleged the existence of a domestic industry. The notice of investigation named as respondents: Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. and Dongguan Luxshare Precision Industry Co. Ltd., both of Dongguan City, China; Luxshare Precision Limited (HK) of Fotan, Hong Kong; and Luxshare-ICT Inc. of Milpitas, California (collectively, ‘‘Luxshare,’’ or ‘‘Respondents’’). Id. at 7104. The Commission’s Office of Unfair Import Investigations was not named as a party in this investigation. Id. Subsequently, the administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) granted Complainant’s motion for partial termination of the investigation by withdrawal of the ’875 and the ’521 patents, and claims 2, 14, 17–19, and 25–27 of the ’117 patent; claims 1–3, 5–8, and 18 of the ’255 patent; and claims 2–3, 7, 14, 20–22, 30, and 32 of the ’767 patent. See Order No. 29 (Oct. 13, 2021), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Nov. 3, 2021). The ALJ also granted in part and denied in part Complainant’s motion for summary determination that it has satisfied the importation requirement. See Order No. 34 (Oct. 28, 2021), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Nov. 29, 2021). The ALJ also granted in part Luxshare’s motion for summary determination that the importation requirement has not been met for certain products. See Order No. 35 (Oct. 28, 2021). On November 29, 2021, the Commission determined to review that determination and it is currently under review. Comm’n Notice (Nov. 29, 2021). On March 11, 2022, the ALJ issued the final initial determination (‘‘ID’’). On March 25, 2022, Complainant petitioned for review of the final ID. On April 4, 2022, Respondents filed a response. On June 21, 2022, the Commission determined to review the ID in part. 87 FR 38180 (June 17, 2022). Specifically, the Commission determined to review the ID’s findings regarding: (1) importation, including any findings impacted by the determination on importation; (2) the Redesigned Products; (3) infringement for claim 9 of the ’117 patent; (4) the claim construction of the term ‘‘contact tail adapted for attachment to the printed circuit board that is perpendicular to the . . . printed circuit board’’ of the ’767 patent; (5) infringement for claims 1, 4– 6, 9–13, 15–17, 19, and 23 of the ’767 patent; (6) the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement for the ’767 patent; (7) obviousness for the ’767 patent; and (8) the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. The Commission determined not to review any other findings, including the ID’s findings that Luxshare does not infringe the asserted claims of the ’255 patent. The Commission asked for briefing on remedy, bonding, and the public interest, as well as one question related to importation. The parties filed their opening submissions on July 6, 2022, and their reply submissions on July 13, 2022. Having reviewed the record of the investigation, including the ID and the parties’ submissions, the Commission has found a violation of section 337 with respect to asserted claims 1, 9, 24, and 29 of the ’117 patent. The Commission (1) finds that at least one product from each of the accused product groups, with the exception of the QSFP 2x1 Press-fit products, has been imported; (2) affirms the ID’s finding of infringement of claim 9 of the ’117 patent with modified reasoning; (3) for the ’767 patent, affirms the ID’s construction of ‘‘contact tail adapted for attachment to the [PCB] that is perpendicular to the . . . [PCB]’’ with modified reasoning; (4) affirms the ID’s determination on infringement for claim 1 of the ’767 patent with modified reasoning; (5) affirms the ID’s determination on infringement/non- infringement for claims 4–6, 9–13, 15– 17, 19, and 23 of the ’767 patent; (6) affirms the ID’s findings with respect to the technical prong of the domestic industry requirement for the ’767 patent; (7) affirms the ID’s obviousness findings for the ’767 patent; (8) takes no position on the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement under subsection 337(a)(3)(A) (plant and equipment) for all patents; (9) takes no position on the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement for the ’767 patent; and (10) affirms the ID’s findings on the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement under subsection 337(a)(3)(B) (employment of labor or capital) for the ’255 and ’117 patents. In addition, the Commission finds that the public interest factors do not preclude issuance of the requested relief. See 19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1), (f)(1). The Commission therefore has determined that the appropriate remedy in this investigation is: (1) an LEO prohibiting the unlicensed entry of certain electrical connectors and cages, components thereof, and products containing the same that infringe one or more of claims 1, 9, 24, and 29 of the ’117 patent; and (2) CDOs against each of the named Luxshare respondents. The Commission has also determined that the bond during the period of Presidential review shall be in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the entered value of the infringing products that are subject to the LEO and CDOs. See 19 U.S.C. 1337(j). The Commission’s reasoning in support of its determinations is set forth more fully in its opinion that is issued concurrently herewith. The Commission’s opinion and orders were delivered to the President and to the United States Trade Representative on the day of their issuance. The investigation is hereby terminated. The Commission vote for this determination took place on September 8, 2022. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

The public record for this review may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On June 6, 2022, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (87 FR 11478, March 1, 2022) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. 1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Please note the Secretary’s Office will accept only electronic filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission’s Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, https:// edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paper- based filings or paper copies of any electronic filings will be accepted until further notice. Staff report.—A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on September 14, 2022. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules. Written submissions.—As provided in section 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution,2 and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before September 21, 2022 and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five- year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by September 21, 2022. However, should the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce’s final results is three business days after the issuance of Commerce’s results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_ on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission’s procedures with respect to filings. In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. Determination.—The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission’s rules.

State of New Hampshire and New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, Civil Action No. 1:18–cv– 00996–PB. The United States filed this lawsuit under sections 301(a), 309(b), and 504 of the Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), 1319(b), 1364, against the State of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (‘‘NHF&G’’), in connection with discharges of pollutants from the Powder Mill State Fish Hatchery, in New Durham, New Hampshire (the ‘‘Hatchery’’). The Hatchery is owned by the State and operated by NHF&G. The Complaint asserts two claims for injunctive relief. The first claim alleges that the State and NHF&G violated a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (Permit No. NH0000710; the ‘‘Permit’’), issued by EPA under section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1342, by exceeding its narrative and numeric discharge limits for total phosphorus and pH, in violation of CWA section 309(b), 33 U.S.C. 1319(b). The second claim alleges that such discharges have caused or contributed to contamination, eutrophication, and the growth of toxic cyanobacteria in the Merrymeeting River and its impoundments, known as Marsh, Jones, and Downing Ponds, which poses an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and welfare, in violation of CWA section 504, 33 U.S.C. 1364. Under the proposed consent decree, NHF&G must implement measures designed to bring the Hatchery into compliance with the CWA and the Permit by the end of 2025. These measures include constructing and operating new wastewater treatment systems and upgrading other aspects of the Hatchery’s facilities and operations, and implementing best management practices related to flow, pH, and phosphorus, such as adding a neutralizing agent, reconfiguring facility VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Sep 13, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Final Results - CVD - China === 40506 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 129 / Thursday, July 7, 2022 / Notices 1 See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 82 FR 16166 (April 3, 2017) (Order). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 87 FR 11416 (March 1, 2022). 3 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Five- Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip from China—Domestic Interested Parties’ Notice of Intent to Participate,’’ dated March 15, 2022. 4 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Five- Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip from China—Domestic Interested Parties’ Substantive Response to Notice of Initiation,’’ dated March 30, 2022. 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 93.

SUMMARY : As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on stainless steel sheet and strip (SSSS) from the People’s Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’ section of this notice. DATES : Applicable July 7, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4313. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 3, 2017, Commerce published the CVD order on SSSS from China. 1 On March 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate from Cleveland- Cliffs Inc., North American Stainless, and Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC (domestic interested parties) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 3 The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic producers engaged in the production of SSSS in the United States. Commerce received a substantive response from the domestic interested parties 4 within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive response from any other interested parties in this proceeding. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determined that the respondent interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice of initiation and, therefore, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order. Scope of the Order The products covered by the Order are stainless sheet and strip, whether in coils or straight lengths. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 5 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily finds that producers and/or exporters subject to this administrative review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. DATES : Applicable July 7, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Background On June 21, 2019, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on glycine from India. 1 On August 3, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from India. 2 On February 16, 2022, Commerce extended the time limit for these preliminary results to June 30, 2022, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the Order is glycine. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 4 Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Export price and constructed export price are calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list of the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. On November 1, 2021, GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. withdrew its requests for review with respect to GEM Corpochem Private Limited, Indiana Chem-Port, J.R. Corporation, Mulji Mehta Enterprises, Mulji Mehta Pharma, Rexisize Rasayan Industries, and Studio Disrupt.5 Because the requests for review were timely withdrawn and no other parties requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is partially rescinding this review of the Order for these seven companies. Application of Facts Available With Adverse Inferences Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily relying upon facts otherwise available to determine a weighted-average dumping margin for Kumar Industries/Rudraa International (collectively Kumar) 6 because: (1) VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 Jul 06, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM 07JYN1 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Final Results - AD - China === 40183Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2022 / Notices 9 See 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). 10 See, e.g., Certain Frozen Freshwater Shrimp from India: Notice of Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 85 FR 57192 (September 15, 2020) (Hyson CCR Initiation and Preliminary Results), unchanged in Certain Frozen Freshwater Shrimp from India: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 85 FR 70584 (November 5, 2020) (Hyson CCR Final Results). 11 Id. 12 See, e.g., Heavy Walled Rectangular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Turkey: Notice of Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 86 FR 70443 (December 10, 2021) at 86 70444, unchanged in Heavy Walled Rectangular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Turkey: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 87 FR 3763 (January 25, 2022). 13 Id. 14 See, e.g., Hyson CCR Initiation and Preliminary Results, unchanged in Hyson CCR Final Results. 15 Commerce is exercising its discretion under 19 CFR 351.310(c) to alter the time limit for requesting a hearing. 16 Commerce is exercising its discretion under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii) to alter the time limit for the filing of case briefs. 17 See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2). 18 See 19 CFR 351.303(b). 19 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020). demonstrates that PT. Daesang is otherwise the same business entity as PT. Miwon. Therefore, in accordance with the regulation referenced above, Commerce is initiating a CCR to determine whether PT. Daesang is the successor-in-interest to PT. Miwon. Preliminary Results of the Changed Circumstances Review When Commerce concludes that expedited action is warranted, it may publish the notice of initiation and preliminary results of a CCR concurrently. 9 Commerce has combined the notice of initiation and preliminary results in successor-in-interest cases when sufficient documentation has been provided supporting the request to make a preliminary determination. 10 In this instance, because we have information on the record to support the request for a preliminary determination and no other interested party submitted comments, we find that expedited action is warranted, and we are combining the notice of initiation and the notice of preliminary results of review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii). In a CCR, Commerce generally consider a company to be the successor to another company for AD cash deposit purposes if the operations of the successor are not materially dissimilar from those of its predecessor. 11 In making this determination, Commerce examines a number of factors including, but not limited to, changes in: (1) management; (2) production facilities; (3) suppliers; and (4) customer base. 12 While no single factor or combination of factors is dispositive, Commerce will generally consider one company to be the successor to another if its resulting operations are essentially the same as that of its predecessor.13 Thus, if the evidence demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new company operates as the same business entity as the prior company, Commerce will assign the new company the cash deposit rate of its predecessor.14 In its CCR request, PT. Daesang provided evidence demonstrating that its operations are not materially dissimilar from those of PT. Miwon. Based on the record, we preliminarily determine that PT. Daesang is the successor-in-interest to PT. Miwon. For a complete discussion of the information that PT. Daesang provided, including business proprietary information and the complete successor- in-interest analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Determination Memorandum is included as the appendix to this notice.

Public Comment Any interested party may request a hearing within 14 days of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.310(c).15 Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 14 days after the date of publication of this notice. 16 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(d). Parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this CCR are requested to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 17 All comments are to be filed electronically using ACCESS, and must be served on interested parties. An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day it is due.18 Please note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.19 Consistent with 19 CFR 351.216(e), we will issue the final results of this CCR no later than 270 days after the date on which this review was initiated, or within 45 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register if all parties agree to this preliminary finding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On March 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the AD order on SSSS from China, 1 pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On March 15, 2022, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 3 The domestic interested parties claimed domestic interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers of the domestic like product in the United States.4 On March 30, 2022, the domestic interested parties submitted a timely substantive response within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 5 Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any other interested parties with respect to the Order covered by this sunset review, nor was a hearing requested. On April 20, 2022, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.6 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order. Scope of the Order The product covered by the Order is SSSS from China. For a full description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.7 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as the appendix to this notice.

ACTION : Notice; issuance of incidental harassment authorization. SUMMARY : NMFS has received a request from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF) for the re-issuance of a previously issued incidental harassment authorization (IHA) with the only change being effective dates. The initial IHA authorized take of eight species of marine mammals, by Level B harassment only, incidental to pile driving and removal activities and down-the-hole (DTH) drilling activities associated with maintenance improvements to the existing Metlakatla Seaplane Facility (MSF), Metlakatla, Alaska. The project has been delayed and none of the work covered in the initial IHA has been conducted. The initial IHA was effective from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. The AKDOT&PF has requested re-issuance with new effective dates of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The scope of the activities and anticipated effects remain the same, authorized take numbers are not changed, and the required mitigation, monitoring, and reporting remains the same as included in the initial IHA. NMFS is, therefore, issuing a second identical IHA to cover the incidental take analyzed and authorized in the initial IHA. DATES : This authorization is effective from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Assessment Rates Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. We intend to issue instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for each of the respective companies listed above with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. For all non- reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on stainless steel sheet and strip (SSSS) from the People’s Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, net countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States. Therefore, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders. DATES : Applicable November 4, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4313. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 3, 2017, Commerce published the AD and CVD orders on SSSS from China. 1 On March 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the AD order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies.3 Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of the magnitude of the dumping margins and net countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked, pursuant to sections 752(b) and (c) of the Act. On October 24, 2022, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. 4 Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these Orders is stainless steel sheet and strip, whether in coils or straight lengths. Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. The subject sheet and strip is a flat-rolled product with a width that is greater than 9.5 mm and with a thickness of 0.3048 mm and greater but less than 4.75 mm, and that is annealed or otherwise heat treated, and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject sheet and strip may also be further processed (e.g., cold-rolled, annealed, tempered, polished, aluminized, coated, painted, varnished, trimmed, cut, punched, or slit, etc.) provided that it maintains the specific dimensions of sheet and strip set forth above following such processing. The products described include products regardless of shape, and include products of either rectangular or non-rectangular cross- section where such cross-section is achieved subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., products which have been ‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products which have been beveled or rounded at the edges). For purposes of the width and thickness requirements referenced above: (1) where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions set forth above; and (2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product (e.g., the thickness of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Nov 03, 2022 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 66652 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 213 / Friday, November 4, 2022 / Notices 1 See Strontium Chromate from Austria and France: Antidumping Duty Orders, 84 FR 65349 (November 27, 2019) (Order). 2 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 73734 (December 28, 2021). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Strontium Chromate from France: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020–2021,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). certain products with non-rectangular cross-section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape, etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies. All products that meet the written physical description, and in which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted element levels listed above, are within the scope of these Orders unless specifically excluded. Subject merchandise includes stainless steel sheet and strip that has been further processed in a third country, including but not limited to cold-rolling, annealing, tempering, polishing, aluminizing, coating, painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the Orders if performed in the country of manufacture of the stainless steel sheet and strip. Excluded from the scope of these Orders are the following: (1) sheet and strip that is not annealed or otherwise heat treated and not pickled or otherwise descaled; (2) plate (i.e., flat- rolled stainless steel products of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more); and (3) flat wire (i.e., cold-rolled sections, with a mill edge, rectangular in shape, of a width of not more than 9.5 mm).

Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested.
