Forged Stainless Steel Flanges From India: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 15615-15616 [E5-1368]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 58 / Monday, March 28, 2005 / Notices Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey (MWTS). The MWTS canvasses firms primarily engaged in merchant wholesale trade, except manufacturing sales branches and offices, that are located in the United States. This survey provides the only continuous measures of monthly wholesale sales, end-ofmonth inventories, method of inventory valuation, and inventories/sales ratios. The sales and inventory estimates produced from the MWTS provide current trends of economic activity by kind of business for the United States. Also, the estimates compiled from this survey provide valuable information for economic policy decisions by the government and are widely used by private businesses, trade organizations, professional associations, and other business research and analysis organizations. The estimates produced by the MWTS are critical to the accurate measurement of total economic activity of the United States. The estimates of sales made by wholesale locations represent only merchant wholesalers, except manufacturing sales branches and offices, who take title to goods bought for resale to other companies. Wholesalers normally sell to industrial distributors, retail operations, cooperatives, and other businesses. The sales estimates include sales made on credit as well as on a cash basis, but exclude receipts from sales taxes and interest charges from credit sales. The estimates of merchandise inventories represent all merchandise owned and held in wholesale locations, warehouses, and offices, as well as goods owned by wholesalers but held by others for sale on consignment, in thirdparty warehouses, or in transit for distribution to wholesale establishments or their customers. The estimates of merchandise inventories exclude fixtures and supplies not for resale, as well as merchandise held on consignment which are owned by others. Inventories are an important component in the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ (BEA) calculation of the investment portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We publish wholesale sales and inventory estimates based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) which has been widely adopted throughout both the public and private sectors. The Census Bureau tabulates the collected data to provide, with measurable reliability, statistics on U.S. merchant wholesale, except manufacturing sales branches and offices, sales, end-of-month inventories, VerDate jul<14>2003 15:12 Mar 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 methods of inventory valuation, and inventories/sales ratios. The BEA is the primary Federal user of data collected in the MWTS. The BEA uses this information to prepare the national income and product accounts (NIPA), input-output accounts (I–O), and gross domestic product (GDP) by industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses the data as input to its Producer Price Indexes and in developing productivity measurements. Private businesses use the wholesale sales and inventory data in computing business activity indexes. Other government agencies and businesses use this information for market research, product development, and business planning to gauge the current trends of the economy.

Background On August 31, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) received a timely request from Hilton Forge to conduct a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain forged stainless steel flanges from India, sold in, or exported to the United States. On October 6, 2004, the Department published a notice of initiation of this new shipper review, covering the period of February 1, 2004 through July 31, 2004 (69 FR 59897). The preliminary results are currently due no later than March 29, 2005. Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the date on which the new shipper review was initiated. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods because the review is extraordinarily complicated, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 300 days after the date of initiation of a new shipper review. We are extending the deadline for the preliminary results of this review an additional 120 days, as a result of the complicated issues in this review. In order to accurately complete our analysis, we need to gather additional information from Hilton concerning its U.S. and home market selling activities. Additionally, we need to gather information concerning the role, if any, that related parties may have played in Hilton’s manufacture and sale of flanges. This makes it impracticable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the originally anticipated time limit. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review until no later than July 27, 2005, which is 300 days after the date of initiation. We intend to issue the final results no later than 90 days after publication of the preliminary results notice.

Background

    On August 31, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
received a timely request from Hilton Forge to conduct a new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain forged stainless steel 
flanges from India, sold in, or exported to the United States. On 
October 6, 2004, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
this new shipper review, covering the period of February 1, 2004 
through July 31, 2004 (69 FR 59897). The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than March 29, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Tariff Act), requires the Department to complete the preliminary 
results of a new shipper review within 180 days after the date on which 
the new shipper review was initiated. However, if it is not practicable 
to complete the review within these time periods because the review is 
extraordinarily complicated, section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act 
allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary 
results to a maximum of 300 days after the date of initiation of a new 
shipper review. We are extending the deadline for the preliminary 
results of this review an additional 120 days, as a result of the 
complicated issues in this review. In order to accurately complete our 
analysis, we need to gather additional information from Hilton 
concerning its U.S. and home market selling activities. Additionally, 
we need to gather information concerning the role, if any, that related 
parties may have played in Hilton's manufacture and sale of flanges. 
This makes it impracticable to complete the preliminary results of this 
review within the originally anticipated time limit. Accordingly, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results of this new shipper review until no later than July 
27, 2005, which is 300 days after the date of initiation. We intend to 
issue the final results no later than 90 days after publication of the 
preliminary results notice.
