DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
[[Page 10330]]
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with January anniversary dates.
In accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating
those administrative reviews. The Department also received a request to
revoke one antidumping duty order in part.
DATES: Effective Date: February 24, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Unit, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with January anniversary dates.
The Department also received a timely request to revoke in part the
antidumping duty order for honey from Argentina with respect to one
exporter. The revocation request for honey from Argentina was
inadvertently omitted from the initiation notice that published on
January 28, 2011 (76 FR 5137). With respect to the antidumping duty
order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China,
the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review for that
case is being published in a separate initiation notice.
All deadlines for the submission of various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by the Department discussed
below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting
date.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review
where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review (``POR'') listed below. If a
producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it must notify the Department within
60 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The
Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or
exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement
certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. All submissions must be made in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303 and are subject to verification in accordance with
section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). Six
copies of the submission should be submitted to the Assistant Secretary
for Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Room
1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20230. Further, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(f)(3)(ii), a copy of each request must be served on every party
on the Department's service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under administrative protective order (``APO'') to
all parties having an APO within seven days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 21 days of publication of this Federal Register
notice. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on
the record of the applicable review.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to
an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to
be entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a
separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the
subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994). In
accordance with the separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns
separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government control
over export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department's Web site at http://www.trade.gov/ia on
the date of publication of this Federal Register. In responding to the
certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department no later than 60 days after
publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned
firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \1\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\2\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on
[[Page 10331]]
the Department's Web site at http://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding to the
Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the instructions contained
in the application. Separate Rate Status Applications are due to the
Department no later than 60 calendar days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a
Separate Rate Status Application applies equally to NME-owned firms,
wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceedings (e.g.,
an ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently complete
segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\2\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For exporters and producers who submit a separate-rate status
application or certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible
for separate-rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following antidumping and countervailing
duty orders. We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not
later than January 31, 2012.

\3\ The company names listed were misspelled in the initiation
notice that published on January 28, 2011 (76 FR 5137). The correct
spelling of the company names are listed in this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine,
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by
an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject
merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is
affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the
name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption during the relevant provisional-measures ``gap'' period, of
the order, if such a gap period is applicable to the POR.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO
