Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's Republic of
China; Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 6, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Howard Smith or Jeff Pedersen, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
5193 and (202) 482-2769, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 30, 2006, the Department of Commerce (Department)
published a notice of initiation of four new shipper reviews of the
antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
People's Republic of China (PRC), covering the period September 1,
2005, through August 31, 2006. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From
the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New
Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 63284 (October 30, 2006). One of the four new
shipper reviews covers Shanghai Now Again International Trading Co.,
Ltd. (Shanghai Now Again), an exporter of subject merchandise. On March
26, 2007, Shanghai Now Again withdrew its request for a new shipper
review. Shanghai Now Again explained that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) had recently rejected its only entry of subject
merchandise made during the period of review. Shanghai Now Again stated
that, since the FDA's rejection resulted in no sale being made during
the period of review, it was withdrawing its request for a new shipper
review. No other party requested a new shipper review of Shanghai Now
Again.
Rescission of Review
19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provides that the Department may rescind a new
shipper review if the party that requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 60 days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested review. Although Shanghai Now
Again withdrew its request after the 60-day deadline, we find it
reasonable to accept the withdrawal because we have not yet committed
significant resources to the new shipper review of Shanghai Now Again.
Specifically, we have not calculated a preliminary margin for Shanghai
Now Again nor have we verified Shanghai Now Again's data. Further, no
party has opposed Shanghai Now Again's withdrawal from this review. For
these reasons, we are rescinding the 2005-2006 new shipper review of
the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
PRC with respect to Shanghai Now Again in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(f)(1).
Assessment
The Department will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For Shanghai Now
Again, antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department will issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice.
Dated: July 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
