Redistricting Data Program: The State
Legislative District Project. This first
phase specifically provides States the
opportunity to provide their legislative
districts (House and Senate) to the
Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau)
for the development of data products by
legislative district. States may continue
to update their legislative district plans
with any changes during the decade as
they currently do with changes to their
U.S. Congressional plans.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by March 17, 2005. The
deadline for States to notify the Census
Bureau that they wish to participate in
Phase 1: State Legislative District Project
is August 1, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Please direct all written
comments on this notice to the Director,
U.S. Census Bureau, Room 2049,
Federal Building 3, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
provisions of Public Law 94–171 (Title
13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section
141(c)), the Director of the Census
Bureau is required to provide the
‘‘officers or public bodies with initial
responsibility for legislative
apportionment or districting of each
state * * *’’ with the opportunity to
specify small geographic areas (for
example, voting districts, wards, and
election precincts) for which they wish
to receive decennial census population
totals for the purpose of
reapportionment and redistricting.
By April 1 of the year following the
decennial census, the Secretary is
required to furnish the State officials or
their designees with population counts
for counties, cities, census blocks, and
State-specified congressional districts,
legislative districts, and voting districts

that meet Census Bureau technical
criteria.
In accordance with the provisions of
Title 13, U.S.C. Section 141(c), and on
behalf of the Secretary of Commerce, the
Director announces the commencement
of Phase 1 of the 2010 Census
Redistricting Data Program. The purpose
of this notice is to provide further
information on the commencement of
Phase 1 of the 2010 Census Redistricting
Data Program, Phase 1—State
Legislative District Project. Future
notices will address the other phases of
the 2010 Program.
The 2010 Census Redistricting Data
Program was initially announced on
May 13, 2004, in the Federal Register
(69 FR 26547). The Census Bureau
received and responded to two
comments regarding the Redistricting
Data Program. Both comments were
concerned with the effect the census
residence rules have on State legislative
redistricting. In response, the Census
Bureau explained that, while we work
closely with the States to identify new
construction; correct political
boundaries; and add nonstandard
features for use as block boundaries, our
data tabulation programs consistently
use the residence rules established for
census collection and tabulation
purposes.
Beginning in the winter of 2005, the
Director of the Census Bureau will
invite the Governor and the legislative
leadership of the majority and minority
parties in each State to designate a
liaison to work with the Census Bureau
on the 2010 Census Redistricting Data
Program. In a separate letter, the Census
Bureau will invite each State to
participate in Phase 1, the State
Legislative District Project. This phase
will include a verification step and
tabulations based on Census 2000 data.
In addition, ongoing changes to
Congressional district plans will be
collected, and new tabulations will be
developed, as needed. Boundaries of
legislative and Congressional districts
will be held as 2010 tabulation census
block boundaries for those participating
States. Participation in Phase 1 is not a
prerequisite for participation in Phase 2
or 3 of the 2010 Census Redistricting
Data Program. With the commencement
of the American Community Survey
(ACS), the Census Bureau will produce
ACS data for States participating in
Phase 1 on a flow basis. For the 2010
census, the ACS will replace the long
form.
The deadline for each State to
respond with intent to participate is
August 1, 2005. The Census Bureau will
work with each State or organize a
kickoff meeting to ensure States are

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 15, 2005.
SUMMARY: On May 24, 2004, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a new shipper
review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) covering the period
December 1, 2003, through May 31,
2004. This new shipper review covered
one exporter, Foodworld International
Club, Ltd. (Foodworld). For the reasons
discussed below, we are rescinding the
review of Foodworld.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On May 24, 2004, the Department
received a timely request for a new
shipper review of the antidumping duty
order on honey from the PRC from
Foodworld, an exporter of the subject
merchandise sold to the United States.
On August 5, 2004, the Department
initiated a new shipper review of
Foodworld under the antidumping duty
order on honey from the PRC for the
period December 1, 2003, through May
31, 2004. See Honey From The People’s
Republic of China: Initiation of New
Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 69
FR 47407. On August 24, 2004, the
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:50 Feb 14, 2005
Jkt 205001
Department issued an antidumping duty
questionnaire to Foodworld. Foodworld
submitted its Section A response on
October 4, 2004, its Section C response
on October 8, 2004, and its Section D
response on October 12, 2004. On
December 22, 2004, the Department
issued a supplemental questionnaire to
Foodworld. On January 14, 2005,
Foodworld submitted a letter informing
the Department of its wish to withdraw
from this new shipper review and
asking the Department to terminate the
review.
Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order
The products covered by this order
are natural honey, artificial honey
containing more than 50 percent natural
honey by weight, preparations of natural
honey containing more than 50 percent
natural honey by weight, and flavored
honey. The subject merchandise
includes all grades and colors of honey
whether in liquid, creamed, comb, cut
comb, or chunk form, and whether
packaged for retail or in bulk form.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable under
subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90.90,
and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the Department’s written
description of the merchandise under
order is dispositive.
Rescission of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1), the
Department may rescind a new shipper
review if a party that requested a review
withdraws its request not later than 60
days after the date of publication of
notice of initiation of the requested
review. Although Foodworld withdrew
its request for a new shipper review on
January 14, 2005, which is after the
expiration of the 60–day deadline, the
Department nevertheless has the
discretion to extend the time period for
withdrawal on a case–by-case basis. See
e.g., Certain Preserved Mushrooms from
the People’s Republic of China: Notice
of Partial Rescission of Seventh New
Shipper Review, 69 FR 22004 (April 23,
2004). We find it reasonable to extend
the deadline for withdrawal in this case
because we had not yet committed
significant resources to this new shipper
review. Specifically, we had not begun
calculating an antidumping duty margin
for Foodworld nor had we verified any
of Foodworld’s data. Furthermore,
Foodworld was the only party to request
a review, and we did not receive any
submissions opposing Foodworld’s
withdrawal of its request for review.
Finally, we note that our decision to
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
rescind this new shipper review with
respect to Foodworld would not
prejudice any party to this proceeding,
as Foodworld will continue to be
included in the PRC–wide rate to which
it was subject at the time it requested
this review. For these reasons, we have
accepted Foodworld’s withdrawal and
are rescinding the new shipper review
of the antidumping duty order on honey
from the PRC in accordance with 19
CFR 351.214(f)(1).
Cash Deposits
The Department will notify U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
that bonding is no longer permitted to
fulfill security requirements for
shipments from Foodworld of honey
from the PRC entered or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption in the
United States on or after the publication
of this notice of rescission of
antidumping duty new shipper review
in the Federal Register. Further,
effective upon publication of this notice,
for all shipments of the subject
merchandise exported by Foodworld
and entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC–wide rate,
which is 183.80 percent.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Notification to Parties Subject to
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with section 351.305(a)(3) of the
Department’s regulations. Timely
written notification of the return/
destruction of APO material or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation, which is subject to
sanctions.
We are issuing and publishing this
determination and notice in accordance
with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
and 19 CFR 351(f)(3).)
