This survey provides information on
public/private elementary school,
secondary school, and college
enrollment, and on characteristics of
private school students and their
families, which is used for tracking
historical trends, policy planning, and
support. This survey is the only source
of national data on the age distribution
and family characteristics of college
students and the only source of
demographic data on preprimary school
enrollment. As part of the federal
government’s efforts to collect data and
provide timely information to local
governments for policymaking
decisions, the survey provides national
trends in enrollment and progress in
school.
II. Method of Collection
The school enrollment information
will be collected by both personal visit
and telephone interviews in conjunction
with the regular October CPS
interviewing. All interviews are
conducted using computer-assisted
interviewing.

People’s Republic of China:
Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review

U.S. Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is rescinding its
administrative review of one company,
Shangyu City Garden Candle Factory
(‘‘Garden Candle’’), under the
antidumping duty order on Petroleum
Wax Candles from the People’s Republic
of China for the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004. This rescission,
in part, is based on the withdrawal for
a request for review by Garden Candle.
The Department is not rescinding its
review of Shanghai R&R Import/Export
Co., Ltd (‘‘Shanghai R&R’’).
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2005.

Background
The Department published in the
Federal Register an antidumping duty
order on petroleum wax candles from
the People’s Republic of China on
August 28, 1986 (51 FR 30686).
Pursuant to its Notice of Opportunity to
Request an Administrative Review, 69
FR 46496 (August 3, 2004), and in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and
section 351.213(b) of the Department’s
regulations, the Department received
timely requests for review from two
companies: Garden Candle and
Shanghai R&R. No other interested party
requested a review.
On September 22, 2004, the
Department published its Notice of
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, Requests for Revocation in
Part, 69 FR 56745 (September 22, 2004),
initiating on both companies for which
an administrative review was requested.
Rescission, in Part, of Administrative
Review
Pursuant to section 351.213(d)(1) of
the Department’s regulations, the
Department may rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘if a party that
requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the
requested review.’’ The Department may
also extend this time limit if it decides
that it is reasonable to do so. Id.
While Garden Candle’s withdrawal of
its own request for review was not
timely, according to section
351.213(d)(1) of the Department’s
regulations, the Department may extend
this time limit if it decides that it is
reasonable to do so. In this case, the
Department has determined that
rescinding the review of Garden Candle
is appropriate. Continuing this review
would only require Garden Candle and
the Department to expend time and
resources on a review in which the
party that requested the review is no
longer interested. The Department has
only released one supplemental
questionnaire with respect to Garden
Candle and has not yet conducted a
verification. Therefore, the Department
does not believe the administrative
review has proceeded to a point at
which it would be ‘‘unreasonable’’ to
rescind the review. The Department has
therefore determined that it is
reasonable to extend the 90-day time
limit for Garden Candle to request its
withdrawal from the administrative
review, and is rescinding its
antidumping administrative review with
respect to Garden Candle in accordance
E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM

16218
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 30, 2005 / Notices
with section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations.
The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) within 15 days of
the publication of this notice. The
Department will direct CBP to assess
antidumping duties for this company at
the cash deposit rate in effect on the
date of entry for entries during the
period August 1, 2003, through July 31,
2004.
Notification to Parties
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
section 351.402(f) of the Department’s
regulations to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this period of
time. 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.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (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 or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 351.213(d)(4) of
the Department’s regulations and
sections 751(a)(2)(C) and 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

SUMMARY: On November 26, 2004, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the changed circumstances
review and intent to reinstate the
Tianjin Chemicals Import and Export
Corporation (Tianjin) in the
antidumping duty order on exports of
sebacic acid from the People’s Republic
of China (PRC). See Sebacic Acid From
the People’s Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Changed
Circumstances Review and Intent to
Reinstate the Antidumping Duty Order,
69 FR 68879 (November 26, 2004)
(Preliminary Results). This review
covers subject merchandise exported by
Tianjin. The products covered by this
order are all grades of sebacic acid
which include, but are not limited to,
CP Grade, Purified Grade, and Nylon
Grade (see ‘‘Scope of the Review’’
section below). The period of review
(POR) is July 1, 2002, through June 30,
2003. Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made
changes in the margin calculation.
Therefore, the final results differ from
the preliminary results. We determine
that Tianjin sold subject merchandise at
less than normal value (NV) during the
referenced period, and hereby reinstate
Tianjin in the order. The final
weighted–average dumping margin is
listed below in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of Review.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 26, 2004, the
Department published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of
changed circumstances review and
intent to reinstate Tianjin in the
antidumping duty order on exports of
sebacic acid from the PRC. See
Preliminary Results. This review covers
subject merchandise exported by
Tianjin. The POR is July 1, 2002,
through June 30, 2003.
We invited interested parties to
comment on the preliminary results of
review. We received comments from
Tianjin on January 3, 2005. On March
11, 2005, we put excerpts from the
International Trade Commission’s Staff
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Report on the record and invited parties
to comment. The hearing was held on
March 15, 2005. The Department has
conducted this changed circumstances
review in accordance with section
751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are all grades of sebacic acid, a
dicarboxylic acid with the formula
(CH2)8(COOH)2, which include but are
not limited to CP Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 25 maximum APHA
color), Purified Grade (1000 ppm
maximum ash, 50 maximum APHA
color), and Nylon Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 70 maximum ICV color).
The principle difference between the
grades is the quantity of ash and color.
Sebacic acid contains a minimum of 85
percent dibasic acids of which the
predominant species is the C10 dibasic
acid. Sebacic acid is sold generally as a
free–flowing powder/flake.
Sebacic acid has numerous industrial
uses, including the production of nylon
6/10 (a polymer used for paintbrush and
toothbrush bristles and paper machine
felts), plasticizers, esters, automotive
coolants, polyamides, polyester castings
and films, inks and adhesives,
lubricants, and polyurethane castings
and coatings.
Sebacic acid is currently classifiable
under subheading 2917.13.00.30 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Separate Rates
We initiated this changed
circumstance review for the sole
purpose of determining whether Tianjin
has resumed dumping of sebacic acid
from the PRC. We did not require
Tianjin to answer questions related to
separate rates because no administrative
review has been initiated that would
require Tianjin to substantiate a de facto
and de jure absence of government
control of its export activities. We have
not received any other information since
the Preliminary Results which would
indicate that Tianjin is not eligible for
a separate rate. Therefore, we determine
that Tianjin should be assigned an
individual dumping margin in this
changed circumstances review.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case brief
submitted by Tianjin to this changed
circumstances review are addressed in
the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’

Rescission, in Part, of Administrative Review
Pursuant to section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations,
the Department may rescind an administrative review, ``if a party that

regulations, the Department may extend this time limit if it decides
that it is reasonable to do so. In this case, the Department has

Continuing this review would only require Garden Candle and the

only released one supplemental questionnaire with respect to Garden
Candle and has not yet conducted a verification. Therefore, the
Department does not believe the administrative review has proceeded to

The Department has therefore determined that it is reasonable to extend
the 90-day time limit for Garden Candle to request its withdrawal from
the administrative review, and is rescinding its antidumping
administrative review with respect to Garden Candle in accordance
