=== USITC Determination - Final === 8912 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 2023 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 87 FR 78929, December 23, 2022; 87 FR 78935, December 23, 2022; and 87 FR 78937, December 23, 2022. Commerce also published notice in the Federal Register of a negative final antidumping duty determination in connection with the investigation concerning steel nails from Sri Lanka (87 FR 78933, December 23, 2022). Accordingly, effective December 23, 2022, the Commission terminated its antidumping duty investigation concerning steel nails from Sri Lanka (88 FR 1291, January 9, 2023). 3 While Commerce preliminarily determined that countervailable subsidies were not being provided to producers and exporters of steel nails from Thailand, the Commission continued its investigative activities pursuant to Commission rule 207.21(c). Determinations by Commerce with respect to sales at less-than-fair-value value of imports of steel nails from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey were pending at that time and subsequently published in the Federal Register on August 4, 2022 (87 FR 47719, 87 FR 47701, 87 FR 47708, and 87 FR 47699). 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION [Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1580, 1582, and 1583 (Final)] Steel Nails From India, Thailand, and Turkey Determinations On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject investigations, the United States International Trade Commission (‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that an industry in the United States is not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey, provided for in subheadings 7317.00.55, 7317.00.65, and 7317.00.75 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’). 2 Background The Commission instituted these investigations effective December 30, 2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc., Poplar Bluff, Missouri. The Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Turkey were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)). 3 Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of June 21, 2022 (87 FR 36882). In light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on August 17, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate. The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not align its countervailing duty investigations with its antidumping duty investigations and reached earlier final countervailing duty determinations. On October 6, 2022, the Commission issued final negative determinations in its countervailing duty investigations of steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Turkey (87 FR 61631, October 12, 2022). Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission’s antidumping duty investigations was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of scheduling of the final phase of Commission’s antidumping duty investigations (88 FR 2373, January 13, 2023). The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on February 6, 2023. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5404 (February 2023), entitled Steel Nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey: Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1580, 1582, and 1583 (Final).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The WRP is a recruitment and referral program that connects students with disabilities to an opportunity for employment. Through participating colleges and universities, WRP creates a database for Federal and select private-sector employers nationwide to find highly motivated college students and recent graduates with disabilities who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through summer or permanent jobs. Candidates represent all majors, and range from college freshmen to graduate students and law students. Information from these candidates is compiled in a searchable database that is available through this website to Federal Human Resources Specialists, Equal Employment Opportunity Specialists, and other Federal employees and hiring officials in Federal agencies. Every year, WRP staff approach more than 300 colleges and universities to participate in the WRP recruitment process for the year. WRP School Coordinators at these schools conduct outreach to their eligible students and encourage them to apply to participate in the WRP. School Coordinators must be college staff and are usually from the career or disability services office. Candidates that are approved by the School Coordinators and completed the application by the deadline are given the opportunity to have an elective informational interview with a trained volunteer WRP Recruiter from a Federal agency. To be eligible to register, candidates must be current, full-time, degree- seeking undergraduate or graduate students with a disability, or have graduated within two and a half years of the release of the database each December. Candidates must be U.S. citizens, must be attending or have graduated from a U.S. accredited college or university, and be eligible under the Schedule A Hiring Authority for persons with disabilities. Candidates must also be approved by a WRP School Coordinator to apply to WRP and participate in an interview. Candidates are not interviewing for specific positions at specific agencies. They have the opportunity to have an elective informational interview with a Federal recruiter to learn about Federal service and discuss their career path. Candidates are not placed into jobs; they are simply applying to be part of a database of postsecondary students and recent graduates with disabilities that is made available to Federal employers directly and to the private sector through a contractor. Employers will then reach out to candidates directly if they are interested in interviewing or hiring them for a specific position. Candidates should be aware that WRP is not a guarantee of employment and not everyone who participates in WRP is contacted by employers. This information collection is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).

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. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is lemon juice from Brazil. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Constructed export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772(b) of the Act. Normal value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted- average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins for the mandatory respondents, Citrus Juice Eireli (Citrus Juice) and Louis Dreyfus Company Sucos S.A. (LDC), that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Commerce calculated the all-others rate by applying a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins that it calculated for the individually examined respondents.6 Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/Producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Citrus Juice Eireli 7 ..................... 21.49 Louis Dreyfus Company Sucos S.A .......................................... 4.45 All Others .................................... 12.97 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all- others rate, as follows: (1) the cash VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:25 Aug 03, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES 47698 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 149 / Thursday, August 4, 2022 / Notices 8 See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 9 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19, 85 FR 17006 (March 26, 2020); and Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020). 10 See Citrus Juice’s Letter, ‘‘Lemon Juice from Brazil: Request for Postponement of Final Antidumping Determination,’’ dated July 21, 2022. deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. Should the final estimated weighted- average dumping margin be zero or de minimis for the producer/exporter combinations identified above, entries of shipments of subject merchandise from these producer/exporter combinations will be excluded from the potential antidumping duty order. Such exclusions are not applicable to merchandise exported to the United States by these respondents in any other producer/exporter combinations or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combinations. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Public Comment A timeline for the submission of case briefs and written comments will be notified to interested parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs.8 Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 9 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain (1) the party’s name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; (3) whether any participant is a foreign national; and (4) a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On July 21, 2022, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Citrus Juice requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.10 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c) and 9 CFR 351.210(g).

Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is lemon juice from South Africa. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value (NV) is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce has preliminarily relied upon total facts otherwise available, with adverse inferences, for Granor Passi (Pty) Ltd.

In this investigation, Commerce preliminarily assigned a rate based entirely on facts available to Granor Passi. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Cape Fruit. Consequently, the rate calculated for Cape Fruit is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters.

Background The Commission instituted these reviews on February 1, 2022 (87 FR 5511) and determined on May 9, 2022, that it would conduct expedited reviews (87 FR 53488, August 31, 2022). The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It completed and filed its determinations in these reviews on September 22, 2022. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5368 (September 2022), entitled Certain Amorphous Silica Fabric from China: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–555 and 731–TA–1310 (Review).

[FR Doc. 2022–20913 Filed 9–27–22; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020–02–P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Federal Bureau of Prisons Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Federal Correctional Institution and Federal Prison Camp in Letcher County, Kentucky AGENCY : Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Department of Justice. ACTION : Notice of intent to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Federal Correctional Institution and Federal Prison Camp in Letcher County, Kentucky. SUMMARY : Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality and Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) regulations, the Bureau announces its intent to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the ‘‘Proposed Federal Correctional Institution and Federal Prison Camp Letcher County, Kentucky.’’ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background The Bureau’s mission is to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, appropriately secure, and provide work and other self- improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. A growing challenge to successfully performing that mission is the increasing number of federal correctional facilities and supporting infrastructure that were constructed over 50 years ago (the approximate design life of such facilities), resulting in a continuous need to maintain existing facilities, and when necessary, develop new facilities and infrastructure. To address the need for modern, efficient, and cost-effective institutions, the Bureau is proposing to construct and operate a new medium-security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) and an adjoining minimum-security Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Letcher County, Kentucky. The FCI and FPC would be designed to house approximately 1,152 adult males and 256 adult males, respectively, and serve the needs of the Bureau’s Mid-Atlantic Region. Compliance With the National Environmental Policy Act Development and operation of a new FCI and FPC is considered to be an action potentially significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the Bureau must comply with NEPA to ensure that the environmental consequences of such a federal action are adequately considered. This DEIS will be prepared to ensure that the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed action are thoroughly documented and that compliance is achieved with NEPA as well as with other environmental statutes including but not limited to: the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972; the Clean Air Act of 1974; the Clean Water Act and Amendments, the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA); the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966; and the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA), among other laws, regulations and Executive Orders. Preparation of environmental documentation and its consideration by federal, state, and local officials, regulatory agencies, stakeholders, and the public will be carried out to demonstrate that the Bureau understands and fully considers the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed action. This includes consideration to the potential impacts associated with correctional institution construction and operation and attainment of the project’s objectives. In 2006, Congress authorized and directed the Bureau to initiate various investigations for development of a new federal correctional facility in Letcher County. In accordance with Congress’ directive, the Bureau conducted a wide range of technical investigations and studies and published multiple EISs in conformance with NEPA as summarized below.

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Commerce conducted verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation with respect to Louis Dreyfus Company Sucos S.A. (LDC) and Citrus Juice Eireli (Citrus Juice) in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 3 Specifically, Commerce conducted on-site verifications of the third country market sales, U.S. sales, and cost of production responses submitted by LDC and Citrus Juice. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received and additional information obtained since our preliminary findings, we made certain changes to the margin calculation for Citrus Juice and LDC after the Preliminary Determination. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, we calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the two mandatory respondents, Citrus Juice and LDC. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that, for companies not individually investigated, Commerce will determine estimated all-others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any rates determined entirely on facts otherwise available under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated a de minimis rate for LDC. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Citrus Juice. Consequently, the rate calculated for Citrus Juice is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters. Final Determination The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Citrus Juice Eireli ........................ 22.31 Louis Dreyfus Company Sucos S.A .......................................... 0.00 All Others .................................... 22.31 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this final determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue the suspension of liquidation of all appropriate entries of lemon juice, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 4, 2022, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in this investigation in the Federal Register. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for each of the respondents listed in the table above is the company-specific cash deposit rate listed for the respondent in the table; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent listed in the table above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate is the company-specific cash deposit rate listed for the producer of the subject merchandise in the table above; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters is the all-others cash deposit rate listed in the table above. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. U.S. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of its final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by importation of lemon juice from Brazil, no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, all cash deposits will be refunded, and suspension of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of the return or 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 violation subject to sanction.

SUMMARY : On November 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the notice of initiation and preliminary results of a changed circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from India. For these final results, Commerce continues to find that Kader Exports Private Limited (Kader Exports) is the successor-in-interest to the Liberty Group. DATES : Applicable December 23, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On September 19, 2022, Kader Exports requested that Commerce conduct an expedited CCR, pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), to confirm that Kader Exports is the successor-in-interest to the Liberty Group 1 for purposes of determining AD cash deposits and liabilities. 2 In its submission, Kader Exports stated that it underwent a restructuring in which the companies comprising the Liberty Group were merged into Kader Exports. 3 On November 9, 2022, Commerce initiated this CCR and published the Preliminary Results, preliminarily determining that Kader Exports is the successor-in-interest to the Liberty Group. 4 In the Preliminary Results, we provided all interested parties with an opportunity to comment. 5 However, we received no comments. Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.6 The product is currently classified under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) numbers: 0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.04, 0306.17.00.05, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.07, 0306.17.00.08, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.10, 0306.17.00.11, 0306.17.00.12, 0306.17.00.13, 0306.17.00.14, 0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.16, 0306.17.00.17, 0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.19, 0306.17.00.20, 0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.22, 0306.17.00.23, 0306.17.00.24, 0306.17.00.25, 0306.17.00.26, 0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.28, 0306.17.00.29, 0306.17.00.40, 0306.17.00.41, 0306.17.00.42, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description remains dispositive. Final Results of CCR For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, Commerce continues to find that Kader Exports is the successor-in-interest to the Liberty Group. As a result of this determination and consistent with established practice, we find that Kader Exports should receive the AD cash deposit rate previously assigned to the Liberty Group. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced or exported by Kader Exports and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at zero percent, which is the current AD cash deposit rate for the Liberty Group. 7 This cash deposit VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:36 Dec 22, 2022 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23DEN1.SGM 23DEN1 TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Determination – AD – Final - South Africa === 78928 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 246 / Friday, December 23, 2022 / Notices 1 See Certain Lemon Juice From the Republic of South Africa: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 87 FR 47707 (August 4, 2022) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 2 See Certain Lemon Juice From the Republic of South Africa: Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures, 87 FR 56631 (September 15, 2022). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Affirmative Determination in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Lemon Juice From the Republic of South Africa,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum) 4 See Memoranda, ‘‘Verification of the Sales Questionnaire Responses of Cape Fruit Processors (Pty) Ltd. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Lemon Juice from the Republic of South Africa,’’ dated October 4, 2022; and ’’ Verification of the Cost Responses of Cape Fruit Processors (Pty) Ltd. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Lemon Juice from the Republic of South Africa,’’ dated October 5, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On August 4, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination.1 On September 15, 2022, Commerce postponed the final determination of this investigation. 2 A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 3 Period of Investigation The period of investigation is October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021. Scope of the Investigation The products covered by this investigation are certain lemon juice from South Africa. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination. Therefore, no changes were made to the scope of the investigation. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case briefs and rebuttal briefs submitted by interested parties in this proceeding are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised by parties and responded to by Commerce in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is available 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. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Commerce conducted verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation with respect to Cape Fruit Processors (Pty) Ltd. (Cape Fruit), in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).4 Specifically, Commerce conducted on-site verifications of the home market sales, U.S. sales, and cost of production responses submitted by Cape Fruit. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received and additional information obtained since our preliminary findings, we made certain changes to the margin calculation for Cape Fruit and certain changes to the rate for Granor Passi (Pty) Ltd. (Granor Passi) after the Preliminary Determination. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for individually investigated exporters and producers, excluding any margins that are zero or de minimis or any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce assigned a rate based entirely on facts available to Granor Passi. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated for Cape Fruit. Consequently, the rate calculated for Cape Fruit is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters. Final Determination The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Cape Fruit Processors (Pty) Ltd 47.89 Granor Passi (Pty) Ltd ................ * 73.69 All Others .................................... 47.89 * Based on total facts available with adverse inferences (AFA). For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions re- garding the application of AFA, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this final determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue the suspension of liquidation of all appropriate entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 4, 2022, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in this investigation in the Federal Register.

These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. U.S. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of its final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Adminstration [A–351–858, A–791–827] Certain Lemon Juice From Brazil and the Republic of South Africa: Antidumping Duty Orders AGENCY : Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY : Based on affirmative final determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing antidumping duty orders on certain lemon juice (lemon juice) from Brazil and the Republic of South Africa (South Africa). DATES : Applicable February 16, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Dakota Potts (Brazil) or Elizabeth Bremer and Zachary Shaykin (South Africa), AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0223, (202) 482–4987, or (202) 482–2638, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on December 23, 2022, Commerce published its affirmative final determinations in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa. 1 On February 6, 2023, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of LTFV imports of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa.2 Scope of the Orders The product covered by these orders is lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa. For a complete description of the scope of the orders, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Orders Based on the above-referenced affirmative final determinations by the ITC that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of LTFV imports of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa,3 in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Moreover, because the ITC determined that imports of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Brazil and South Africa, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 4, 2022, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations in the Federal Register.4 Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional Measures’’ section of this notice, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the cash deposit rates listed in the table below. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Brazil Exporter/producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Citrus Juice Eireli ........................ 22.31 Louis Dreyfus Company Sucos S.A .......................................... 5 0.00 All Others .................................... 22.31 South Africa Exporter/producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Cape Fruit Processors Pty. Ltd .. 47.89 Granor Passi (Pty.) Ltd ............... 73.69 All Others .................................... 47.89 Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four- month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of exports of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa, Commerce extended the four-month period to six months in VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:51 Feb 15, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16FEN1.SGM 16FEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 10089Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2023 / Notices 6 See Brazil Preliminary Determination; see also South Africa Postponement Notice. 7 See Brazil Preliminary Determination; see also South Africa Preliminary Determination. 8 See, e.g., Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from India, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determination for India and Taiwan, and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 48390, 48392 (July 25, 2016). 9 See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 20, 2021) (Final Rule). 10 See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021) (Procedural Guidance). 11 Id. 12 This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary month.

Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, 8 Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of lemon juice from Brazil and South Africa entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after January 30, 2023, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determinations in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the final rule titled ‘‘Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the Federal Register. 9 On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the notice titled ‘‘Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions’’ in the Federal Register. 10 The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin.11 In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce’s online e-filing and document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 12 Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published. Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as needed based on interested parties’ amendments to their entries of appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website at https:// access.trade.gov. Special Instructions for Petitioners and Foreign Governments In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ‘‘after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.’’ 13 Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioners and foreign governments should submit their initial entry of appearance after publication of this notice in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service list. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and foreign governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioners and foreign governments are responsible for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the procedures described above.

[FR Doc. 2023–03282 Filed 2–15–23; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A–570–886] Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of No Shipments and Rescission of Review in Part; 2021–2022 AGENCY : Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily finds that Dongguan Nozawa Plastics Products Co., Ltd. and United Power Packaging, Ltd. (collectively, Nozawa) had no shipments of polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) from the People’s Republic of China (China) during the period of review (POR), August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. In addition, Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, in part, for Crown Polyethylene Products (International) Ltd. (Crown), for which the review request was withdrawn. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results of review. DATES : Applicable February 16, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Christopher Williams, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5166. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On August 9, 2004, Commerce published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on PRCBs from China. 1 On August 2, 2022, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order.2 On August 31, 2022, the petitioners 3 timely requested an administrative review of the Order with respect to Nozawa and Crown.4 Commerce received no other requests for an administrative review of the Order. On October 11, 2022, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated this administrative review.5 On November 29, 2022, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review of Crown. 6 Scope of the Order The products covered by the Order are PRCBs which may be referred to as t-shirt sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags, or checkout bags. The subject merchandise is defined as non-sealable sacks and bags with handles (including drawstrings), without zippers or integral extruded closures, with or without gussets, with or without printing, of polyethylene film having a thickness no greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm), and with no length or width shorter than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the bag may be shorter than 6 inches but not longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm). PRCBs are typically provided without any consumer packaging and free of charge by retail establishments, e.g., grocery, drug, convenience, department, specialty retail, discount stores, and restaurants, to their customers to package and carry their purchased products. The scope of the Order excludes (1) polyethylene bags that are not printed with logos or store names and that are closeable with drawstrings made of polyethylene film and (2) polyethylene bags that are packed in consumer packaging with printing that refers to specific end-uses other than packaging and carrying merchandise from retail establishments, e.g., garbage bags, lawn bags, trash-can liners. Imports of the subject merchandise are currently classifiable under statistical category 3923.21.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). This subheading also covers products that are outside the scope of the Order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive. 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 party that requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Because the petitioners timely withdrew their review request for Crown, and no other party requested an administrative review of Crown, we are rescinding the administrative review of Crown, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Preliminary Determination of No Shipments On November 9, 2022, Nozawa timely filed a letter certifying that it had no U.S. exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.7 We requested that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) report any information contradicting Nozawa’s claim of no shipments 8 and in response to our query, CBP confirmed Nozawa’s claim of no shipments of subject merchandize during the POR. 9 Therefore, we preliminarily determine that Nozawa had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Consistent with Commerce’s practice, we will complete the review of Nozawa and issue VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:51 Feb 15, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16FEN1.SGM 16FEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Active order issued from this investigation
Investigation 731-TA-1578 is a U.S. International Trade Commission antidumping (AD) proceeding on Lemon Juice from Brazil and South Africa; Inv. No. 731-TA-1578-1579 (Final) from Brazil, South Africa. The ITC determines whether U.S. industry is materially injured (or threatened) by imports under investigation; Commerce determines whether dumping or subsidization is occurring. Both findings are required for an AD/CVD order to be issued.
731-TA-1578 is in the final phase, with status completed. Final phase — the ITC's final determination on injury, after Commerce issues its final dumping/subsidy determination. An affirmative final determination from both agencies triggers issuance of an AD/CVD order.
Yes — investigation 731-TA-1578 resulted in AD/CVD case A-351-858. The linked order page on this catalog has the active deposit rate, scope text, and Federal Register citation.
