Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 224 / Tuesday, November 20, 2018 / Notices
(CBP) to continue to suspend
liquidation of all imports of the
merchandise subject to the investigation
from the China-wide entity, that were
entered or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after June 8,
2018, 90 days prior to publication of the
Preliminary Determination notice in the
Federal Register, and require a cash
deposit for such entries as noted below.
Further, pursuant to section
735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, Commerce
will instruct CBP to collect a cash
deposit as follows: (1) The rate for the
exporters listed in the chart above will
be the rate we have determined in this
final determination; (2) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash-deposit rate will be the China-wide
rate; and (3) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash-deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter/
producer combination that supplied that
non-Chinese exporter. These suspension
of liquidation instructions will remain
in effect until further notice.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
the 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 reason of imports of
rubber bands from China no later than
45 days after this 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 such 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice serves as a 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

Appendix
Scope of the Investigation
The products subject to this investigation
are bands made of vulcanized rubber, with a
flat length, as actually measured end-to-end
by the band lying flat, no less than 1⁄2 inch
and no greater than 10 inches; with a width,
which measures the dimension
perpendicular to the length, actually of at
least 3/64 inch and no greater than 2 inches;
and a wall thickness actually from 0.020 inch
to 0.125 inch. Vulcanized rubber has been
chemically processed into a more durable
material by the addition of sulfur or other
equivalent curatives or accelerators. Subject
products are included regardless of color or
inclusion of printed material on the rubber
band’s surface, including but not limited to,
rubber bands with printing on them, such as
a product name, advertising, or slogan, and
printed material (e.g., a tag) fastened to the
rubber band by an adhesive or another
temporary type of connection. The scope
includes vulcanized rubber bands which are
contained or otherwise exist in various forms
and packages, such as, without limitation,
vulcanized rubber bands included within a
desk accessory set or other type of set or
package, and vulcanized rubber band balls.
The scope excludes products that consist of
an elastomer loop and durable tag all-inone,
and bands that are being used at the time of
import to fasten an imported product.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are vulcanized rubber bands of
various sizes with arrow shaped rubber
protrusions from the outer diameter that
exceeds at the anchor point a wall thickness
of 0.125 inches and where the protrusion is
used to loop around, secure and lock in
place.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are yarn/fabric-covered
vulcanized rubber hair bands, regardless of
size.
Merchandise covered by this investigation
is currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
under subheading 4016.99.3510.
Merchandise covered by the scope may also
enter under HTSUS subheading

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This is a request for a revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Fishing livelihoods are both centrally
dependent on marine ecosystems and
part of the set of forces acting on other
components of these ecosystems,
including the ecosystem’s resident fish
and marine species. Alongside social
factors like economics and management
actions, biophysical dynamics within
the ecosystems, including fisheries
population fluctuations, shape fishing
livelihoods. However, the decisions
fishermen make regarding which
fisheries to access and when to access
them are not fully understood,
particularly within the holistic food web
frameworks offered up by ecosystem-

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 224 / Tuesday, November 20, 2018 / Notices

based approaches to research and
management. Moreover, a full
understanding and predictive capacity
for these movements of fishermen across
fisheries in the context of ecological and
social variability presents a significant
gap in management-oriented knowledge.
Managing fisheries in a way that
enhances their social and economic
value, mitigates risks to ecosystems and
livelihoods, and facilitates sustainable
adaptation, requires this fundamental
knowledge.
For this reason, the Northwest
Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) seeks
to conduct fisheries participation
analyses which involve repeated followup surveys of United States (U.S.) West
Coast commercial fishing participants.
A U.S. mail survey will be conducted,
replicating the survey administered
during 2017. The survey will be
voluntary, and contacted individuals
may decline to participate. Respondents
will be asked to answer questions about
their motivations for fishing and other
factors that affect participation in the
suite of West Coast commercial
fisheries. Demographic and employment
information will be collected so that
responses can be organized based on a
respondent typology. This survey is
essential because data on smaller scale
fishing practices, values, participation
decisions and beliefs about fishing
livelihoods are sparse; yet, they are
critical to the development of usable
fishery ecosystem models that account
for non-pecuniary benefits of fishing, as
well as the ways in which fishing
practices shape individual and
community well-being.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents will be contacted via
mail for administration of the survey.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0749.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision of a currently approved
information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 20
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,000.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
