Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand From Mexico, 21999-22000 [E5-2046]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 81 / Thursday, April 28, 2005 / Notices industry’s injured condition is evident in: (1) Declining market share; (2) declining domestic prices and lost sales; (3) declining production and sales; (4) reductions in employment levels; and (5) declining profitability. See Initiation Checklist at Attachment IV (Injury). The Department has assessed the allegations and supporting evidence (e.g., import statistics, etc) regarding material injury and causation and determined that these allegations are supported by accurate and adequate evidence and meet the statutory requirements for initiation. Separate Rates and Quantity and Value Questionnaire The Department recently modified the process by which exporters and producers may obtain separate-rate status in NME investigations. This change is described in Policy Bulletin 05.1: Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy Countries, (April 5, 2005), (‘‘Policy Bulletin 05.1’’) available at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/. Although the process has changed, now requiring submission of a separate-rate status application, the standard for eligibility for a separate rate (which is whether a firm can demonstrate an absence of both de jure and de facto governmental control over its export activities) has not changed. The specific requirements for submitting a separate-rates application are outlined in detail in the application itself, and in Policy Bulletin 05.1, which is also available on the Department’s Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/ bull05-1.pdf. Regarding deadlines, Policy Bulletin 05.1 explains that ‘‘[a]ll applications are due sixty calendar days after publication of the initiation notice. This deadline applies equally to NMEowned and wholly foreign-owned firms for completing the applicable provisions of the application and for submitting the required supporting documentation.’’ See Policy Bulletin 05.1 at page 5. The deadline for submitting a separate-rates application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase the subject merchandise and export it to the United States. Therefore, this notice constitutes public notification to all firms eligible to seek separate-rate status in the investigation of artist canvas from the PRC that they must submit a separate-rates application within 60 calendar days of the date of publication of this initiation notice in the Federal Register. All potential respondents should also bear in mind that firms to which the Department VerDate jul<14>2003 16:00 Apr 27, 2005 Jkt 205001 issues a Quantity and Value (‘‘Q&V’’) questionnaire must respond both to this questionnaire and to the separate-rates application by the respective deadlines in order to receive consideration for a separate-rate status. In other words, the Department will not give consideration to any separate rate-status application made by parties that were issued a Q&V questionnaire by the Department but failed to respond to that questionnaire within the established deadline. The particular separate-rate status application for this investigation is available on the Department’s Web site https://ia.ita.doc.gov/ia-highlights-andnews.html. Combination Rates The Department will calculate combination rates for certain respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. The Separate Rates and Combination Rates Bulletin, states: [w]hile continuing the practice of assigning separate rates only to exporters, all separate rates that the Department will now assign in its NME investigations will be specific to those producers that supplied the exporter during the period of investigation. Note, however, that one rate is calculated for the exporter and all of the producers which supplied subject merchandise to it during the period of investigation. This practice applies both to mandatory respondents receiving an individually calculated separate rate as well as the pool of non-investigated firms receiving the weighted-average of the individually calculated rates. This practice is referred to as the application of ‘‘combination rates’’ because such rates apply to specific combinations of exporters and one or more producers. The cash-deposit rate assigned to an exporter will apply only to merchandise both exported by the firm in question and produced by a firm that supplied the exporter during the period of investigation. Separate Rates and Combination Rates Bulletin, at page 6. Initiation of Antidumping Investigation Based upon our examination of the Petition on certain artist canvas from the PRC, we find that the Petition meets the requirements of section 732 of the Act. Therefore, we are initiating an antidumping duty investigation to determine whether imports of certain artist canvas from the PRC are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value. Unless it is postponed, we will make our preliminary determination no later than 140 days after the date of this initiation. Distribution of Copies of the Petition In accordance with section 732(b)(3)(A) of the Act, a copy of the public version of the Petition has been provided to the Government of the PRC. PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21999 ITC Notification We have notified the ITC of our initiation, as required by section 732(d) of the Act. Preliminary Determination By the ITC The ITC will preliminarily determine, no later than May 16, 2005, whether there is a reasonable indication that imports of certain artist canvas from the PRC are causing material injury, or are threatening to cause material injury, to a U.S. industry. A negative ITC determination will result in this investigation being terminated; otherwise, this investigation will proceed according to statutory and regulatory time limits. This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 777(i) of the Act. Dated: April 21, 2005. Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.
