[FR Doc. 05–7001 Filed 4–7–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–24–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [C–475–819] Certain Pasta From Italy: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of the Eighth Countervailing Duty Administrative Review Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain pasta from Italy for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. We preliminarily find that the countervailing duty rates during the period of review for all of the producers/exporters under review are less than 0.5 percent and are, consequently, de minimis. See the ‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section, below. If the final results remain the same as these preliminary results, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries during the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 without regard to countervailing duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). We are also rescinding the review for Pastificio Carmine Russo S.p.A./Pastificio Di Nola S.p.A. and Pastificio Antonio Pallante S.r.1. in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results (see the ‘‘Public Comment’’ section of this notice). DATES: Effective Date: April 8, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melani Miller Harig or Mac Rivitz, AD/ CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 3099, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482–0116 and (202) 482–1382, respectively. AGENCY: VerDate jul<14>2003 19:00 Apr 07, 2005 Jkt 205001 17971 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Partial Rescission Case History The Department’s regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On September 15, 2004, Russo/Di Nola withdrew its request for an administrative review; Pallante withdrew its request for an administrative review on October 28, 2004. Both parties submitted their withdrawal requests within the 90-day deadline. No other party requested a review of Pallante’s or Russo/Di Nola’s sales. Therefore, because these withdrawal requests were timely filed, we are rescinding this review with respect to Pallante and Russo/Di Nola in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘Customs’’) to liquidate any entries from Pallante and Russo/Di Nola during the POR and to assess countervailing duties at the rate that was applied at the time of entry. On July 24, 1996, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published a countervailing duty order on certain pasta (‘‘pasta’’ or ‘‘subject merchandise’’) from Italy. See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Certain Pasta From Italy, 61 FR 38544 (July 24, 1996). On July 1, 2004, the Department published a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative Review’’ of this countervailing duty order for calendar year 2003, the period of review (‘‘POR’’). See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 69 FR 39903 (July 1, 2004). On July 30, 2004, we received requests for reviews from the following four producers/ exporters of Italian pasta: Pastificio Antonio Pallante S.r.1. (‘‘Pallante’’), Pastificio Corticella S.p.A. (‘‘Corticella’’)/Pastificio Combattenti S.p.A. (‘‘Combattenti’’) (collectively, ‘‘Corticella/Combattenti’’), Pasta Lensi S.r.1. (‘‘Lensi’’), 1 and Pastificio Carmine Russo S.p.A./Pastificio Di Nola S.p.A. (collectively, ‘‘Russo/Di Nola’’). In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice of initiation of the review on August 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 52857 (August 30, 2004). On September 7,2004, we issued countervailing duty questionnaires to the Commission of the European Union, the Government of Italy (‘‘GOI’’), Pallante, Corticella/Combatteni, Lensi, and Russo/Di Nola. We received responses to our questionnaires in October and November 2004. We issued supplemental questionnaires to the respondents in November 2004, and received responses to our supplemental questionnaires in November and December 2004. On September 15, 2004, Russo/Di Nola withdrew its request for review. Pallante withdrew its request for review on October 28, 2004. As discussed in the ‘‘Partial Rescission’’ section, below, we are rescinding this administrative review for both Russo/Di Nola and Pallante. 1 Lensi is the successor-in-interest to IAPC Italia S.r.1. See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews: Certain Pasta from Italy, 68 FR 41553 (July 14, 2003). PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Scope of the Order Imports covered by the order are shipments of certain non-egg dry pasta in packages of five pounds four ounces or less, whether or not enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, diastasis, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg white. The pasta covered by this scope is typically sold in the retail market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or polyethylene or polypropylene bags of varying dimensions. Excluded from the scope of the order are refrigerated, frozen, or canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of non-egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white. Also excluded are imports of organic pasta from Italy that are accompanied by the appropriate certificate issued by the Instituto Mediterraneo Di Certificazione, Bioagricoop S.r.l., QC&I International Services, Ecocert Italia, Consorzio per il Controllo dei Prodotti Biologici, Associazione Italiana per l’ Agricoltura Biologica, or Codex S.r.L. In addition, based on publicly available information, the Department has determined that, as of August 4, 2004, imports of organic pasta from Italy that are accompanied by the appropriate certificate issued by Bioagricert S.r.l. are also excluded from this order. See memorandum from Eric B. Greynolds to Melissa G. Skinner, dated August 4, 2004, which is on file E:\FR\FM\08APN1.SGM 08APN1

    The petitions were submitted pursuant to Section 251 of the 
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently, the United States 
Department of Commerce has initiated separate investigations to 
determine whether increased imports into the United States of 
articles like or directly competitive with those produced by each 
firm contributed importantly to total or partial separation of the 
firm's workers, or threat thereof, and to a decrease in sales or 
production of each petitioning firm. Any party having a substantial
