Republic of China and the Republic of
Korea

AGENCY:
The Petitions
On May 3, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (Department) received an
antidumping duty petitions (Petitions)
filed on behalf of the Diamond
Sawblade Manufacturers’ Coalition
(DSMC) and its individual members
(collectively, petitioners).
Scope of the Petitions
The following language describes the
imported merchandise from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) and the
Republic of Korea (Korea) that
petitioners intend to be included in the
scope of the investigations:
The products covered by these
petitions are all finished circular
sawblades, whether slotted or not, with
a working part that is comprised of a
diamond segment or segments, and
parts thereof, regardless of specification
or size, except as specifically excluded
below.
Within the scope of these petitions are
semifinished diamond sawblades,
including diamond sawblade cores and
diamond sawblade segments. Diamond
sawblade cores are circular steel plates,
whether or not attached to non-steel
plates, with slots. Diamond sawblade
cores are manufactured principally, but
not exclusively, from alloy steel. A
diamond sawblade segment consists of
E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM
23MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 98 / Monday, May 23, 2005 / Notices
a mixture of diamonds (whether natural
or synthetic, and regardless of the
quantity of diamonds) and metal
powders (including, but not limited to,
iron, cobalt, nickel, tungsten carbide)
that are formed together into a solid
shape (from generally, but not limited
to, a heating and pressing process).
Sawblades with diamonds directly
attached to the core with a resin or
electroplated bond, which thereby do
not contain a diamond segment, are not
included within the scope of these
petitions. Sawblade cores with a
thickness of less than 0.025 inches, or
with a thickness greater than 1.1 inches,
are excluded from the scope of the
petitions. Circular steel plates that have
a cutting edge of non-diamond material,
such as external teeth that protrude
from the outer diameter of the plate,
whether or not finished, are excluded
from the scope of the petitions.
Diamond sawblade cores with a
Rockwell C hardness of less than 25 are
excluded from the scope of the
petitions. Diamond segments with
diamonds that predominantly have a
mesh size number greater than 240
(such as 250 or 260) are excluded from
the scope of the petitions.
Merchandise subject to this order is
typically imported under heading
8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
When packaged together as a set for
retail sale with an item that is separately
classified under headings 8202 to 8205
of the HTSUS, diamond sawblades or
parts thereof may be imported under
heading 8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS.
The tariff classification is provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of the investigation is dispositive.
Petitioners request that the
Department and the International Trade
Commission (Commission) treat
diamond sawblades, diamond sawblade
segments, and diamond sawblade cores
as one ‘‘domestic like product’’ and,
similarly, one ‘‘class or kind’’ of
merchandise for purposes of these
investigations.
Domestic Like Product
Section 771(10) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines the
domestic like product as ‘‘a product
which is like, or in the absence of like,
most similar in characteristics and uses
with the article subject to
investigation.’’ Thus, the reference point
from which the domestic like product
analysis begins is ‘‘the article subject to
investigation,’’ i.e., the class or kind of
merchandise to be investigated, which
normally will be the scope as defined in
the petitions.

Determination of Industry Support for
the Petitions
Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires
that a petition be filed on behalf of the
domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A)
of the Act provides that the
Department’s industry support
determination be based on whether a
minimum percentage of the relevant
industry supports the petition. A
petition meets this requirement if the
domestic producers or workers who
support the petition account for: (i) At
least 25 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product; and (ii)
more than 50 percent of the production
of the domestic like product produced
by that portion of the industry
expressing support for, or opposition to,
the petition. Moreover, section
732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if
the petition does not establish support
of domestic producers or workers
accounting for more than 50 percent of
the total production of the domestic like
product, the Department shall: (i) poll
the industry or rely on other
information in order to determine if
there is support for the petition, as
required by subparagraph (A), or (ii)
determine industry support using a
statistically valid sampling method to
poll the industry.
Request for Information
Because the Petitions have not
established that domestic producers or
workers accounting for more than 50
percent of the total production of the
domestic like product support the
petition, we must ‘‘poll or otherwise
determine industry support for the
petition by the industry.’’ See section
732(c)(4)(D) of the Act.
In accordance with section
732(c)(4)(D) of the Act and in order to
determine whether the Petitions
establish support of domestic producers
or workers accounting for more than 50
percent of the total production of the
domestic like product, we are hereby
requesting that all domestic producers/
manufacturers of diamond sawblades
and parts thereof submit to the
Department a response to the questions
on Import Administration’s Web site:
https://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Filing Requirements
Given the very short period in which
we must determine industry support,
the number of potential responses, and
the fact that industry support may not
be re-examined after initiation, we are
waiving the filing requirements set forth
in 19 CFR 351.303 for certain parties
submitting information on industry
support. This waiver of the filing
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

requirements will not apply to: (1) the
submission of documents that are not in
response to the information requested in
this notice or (2) parties that are familiar
with the conduct of antidumping and
countervailing proceedings through
prior involvement in such proceedings
(e.g., parties represented by law firms
that are involved in other antidumping/
countervailing cases).
This limited waiver is applicable only
until May 25, 2005, the deadline for
submitting the information requested in
this notice. This waiver is intended to
expedite the receipt of information that
is essential to our analysis of industry
support by providing information on the
production of the domestic like product
by petitioning and non-petitioning
companies. By avoiding delays in the
receipt of such information, we will
have more time to analyze whether the
statutory requirements concerning
industry support for the abovereferenced petitions have been met.
All parties submitting any
information must include the following
statement in their response: ‘‘I, (name
and title), currently employed by
(person), certify that (1) I have read the
attached submission, and (2) based on
the information made available to me by
(person), I have no reason to believe that
this submission contains any material
misrepresentation or omission of fact.’’
All information received by the
Department will be treated as business
proprietary information as outlined in
our regulations (19 CFR 351.304–306),
unless otherwise noted. Please note that
all company names will be treated as
public information. In addition, note
that all business proprietary documents
received by the Department in response
to this notice will be served to those
individuals with access to business
proprietary information under the
Administrative Protective Order (APO).
All public documents may be made
available to those parties on the public
service list. The APO service lists and
the public service lists are available on
Import Administration’s Web site:
https://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Information submitted to the
Department in response to this notice
should be addressed to Carrie Blozy and
faxed to the following number: 202–
482–5871. Furthermore, all such
information will be placed on the
official record of the proceeding.
Responses to this notice are due no later
than May 25, 2005. Responses after this
date may not be reviewed by the
Department and, therefore, not included
in the analysis.

Extension of Time
Section 732(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act
provides that within 20 days of the
filing of an antidumping duty petition,
the Department will determine, inter
alia, whether the petition has been filed
by or on behalf of the U.S. industry
producing the domestic like product.
Section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provides
that the deadline for the initiation
determination can be extended by 20
days in any case in which the
Department must ‘‘poll or otherwise
determine support for the petition by
the industry * * *.’’
We will require additional
information from the petitioners and the
domestic producers of diamond
sawblades and parts thereof in order to
make our determination regarding
industry support. We will also need
additional time to analyze the
petitioners’ responses to our requests for
information. See the ‘‘Determination of
Industry Support for the Petitions’’
section of this notice, above. Therefore,
it is necessary to extend the deadline
determining the adequacy of the
petitions for a period not to exceed 40
days from the filing of the petitions. As
a result, the initiation determination is
due no later than June 13, 2005, which
is the next business day after 20 days
from the original deadline for the
initiation determination.

Because the Department has extended
the deadline of the initiation

National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) requires U.S. fishing vessels
registered for use (or any U.S. citizen
issued) with a Special Coral Reef
Ecosystem Fishing Permit, authorized
under the Fishery Management Plan for
Coral Reef Ecosystems of the western
Pacific region, to complete logbooks and
submit them to NMFS. The information
in the logbooks is used to obtain fish
catch/fishing effort data on coral reef
taxa harvested in designated low-use
marine protected areas and on
potentially-harvested coral reef taxa in
waters of the U.S. exclusive economic
zone in the western Pacific region.
These data are needed to determine the
condition of the stocks and whether the
current management measures are
having the intended effects, to evaluate
the benefits and costs of changes in
management measures, and to monitor
and respond to incidental takes of
endangered and threatened marine
animals.
II. Method of Collection
Information is submitted to NMFS in

The Petitions
On May 3, 2005, the Department of Commerce (Department) received an
antidumping duty petitions (Petitions) filed on behalf of the Diamond
Sawblade Manufacturers' Coalition (DSMC) and its individual members
(collectively, petitioners).
Scope of the Petitions
The following language describes the imported merchandise from the
People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of Korea (Korea) that
petitioners intend to be included in the scope of the investigations:
The products covered by these petitions are all finished circular
sawblades, whether slotted or not, with a working part that is
comprised of a diamond segment or segments, and parts thereof,
regardless of specification or size, except as specifically excluded
below.
Within the scope of these petitions are semifinished diamond
sawblades, including diamond sawblade cores and diamond sawblade
segments. Diamond sawblade cores are circular steel plates, whether or
not attached to non-steel plates, with slots. Diamond sawblade cores
are manufactured principally, but not exclusively, from alloy steel. A
diamond sawblade segment consists of
[[Page 29479]]
a mixture of diamonds (whether natural or synthetic, and regardless of
the quantity of diamonds) and metal powders (including, but not limited
to, iron, cobalt, nickel, tungsten carbide) that are formed together
into a solid shape (from generally, but not limited to, a heating and
pressing process).
Sawblades with diamonds directly attached to the core with a resin
or electroplated bond, which thereby do not contain a diamond segment,
are not included within the scope of these petitions. Sawblade cores
with a thickness of less than 0.025 inches, or with a thickness greater
than 1.1 inches, are excluded from the scope of the petitions. Circular
steel plates that have a cutting edge of non-diamond material, such as
external teeth that protrude from the outer diameter of the plate,
whether or not finished, are excluded from the scope of the petitions.
Diamond sawblade cores with a Rockwell C hardness of less than 25 are
excluded from the scope of the petitions. Diamond segments with
diamonds that predominantly have a mesh size number greater than 240
(such as 250 or 260) are excluded from the scope of the petitions.
Merchandise subject to this order is typically imported under
heading 8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS). When packaged together as a set for retail sale with an
item that is separately classified under headings 8202 to 8205 of the
HTSUS, diamond sawblades or parts thereof may be imported under heading
8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS. The tariff classification is provided for
convenience and customs purposes; however, the written description of
the scope of the investigation is dispositive.
Petitioners request that the Department and the International Trade
Commission (Commission) treat diamond sawblades, diamond sawblade
segments, and diamond sawblade cores as one ``domestic like product''
and, similarly, one ``class or kind'' of merchandise for purposes of
these investigations.
Domestic Like Product
Section 771(10) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines the domestic like product as ``a product which is like, or in
the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with the
article subject to investigation.'' Thus, the reference point from
which the domestic like product analysis begins is ``the article
subject to investigation,'' i.e., the class or kind of merchandise to
be investigated, which normally will be the scope as defined in the
petitions.
Determination of Industry Support for the Petitions
Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on
behalf of the domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act
provides that the Department's industry support determination be based
on whether a minimum percentage of the relevant industry supports the
petition. A petition meets this requirement if the domestic producers
or workers who support the petition account for: (i) At least 25
percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and (ii)
more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product
produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or
opposition to, the petition. Moreover, section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act
provides that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic
producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total
production of the domestic like product, the Department shall: (i) poll
the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if
there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A), or
(ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling
method to poll the industry.
Request for Information
Because the Petitions have not established that domestic producers
or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product support the petition, we must ``poll or
otherwise determine industry support for the petition by the
industry.'' See section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act.
In accordance with section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act and in order to
determine whether the Petitions establish support of domestic producers
or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product, we are hereby requesting that all
domestic producers/manufacturers of diamond sawblades and parts thereof
submit to the Department a response to the questions on Import
Administration's Web site: https://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Filing Requirements
Given the very short period in which we must determine industry
support, the number of potential responses, and the fact that industry
support may not be re-examined after initiation, we are waiving the
filing requirements set forth in 19 CFR 351.303 for certain parties
submitting information on industry support. This waiver of the filing
requirements will not apply to: (1) the submission of documents that
are not in response to the information requested in this notice or (2)
parties that are familiar with the conduct of antidumping and
countervailing proceedings through prior involvement in such
proceedings (e.g., parties represented by law firms that are involved
in other antidumping/countervailing cases).
This limited waiver is applicable only until May 25, 2005, the

on the production of the domestic like product by petitioning and non-
petitioning companies. By avoiding delays in the receipt of such

petitions have been met.
All parties submitting any information must include the following

Extension of Time
Section 732(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that within 20 days of
the filing of an antidumping duty petition, the Department will
determine, inter alia, whether the petition has been filed by or on
behalf of the U.S. industry producing the domestic like product.
Section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provides that the deadline for the
initiation determination can be extended by 20 days in any case in
which the Department must ``poll or otherwise determine support for the
petition by the industry * * *.''
We will require additional information from the petitioners and the
domestic producers of diamond sawblades and parts thereof in order to
make our determination regarding industry support. We will also need
additional time to analyze the petitioners' responses to our requests
for information. See the ``Determination of Industry Support for the
Petitions'' section of this notice, above. Therefore, it is necessary
to extend the deadline determining the adequacy of the petitions for a
period not to exceed 40 days from the filing of the petitions. As a
result, the initiation determination is due no later than June 13,
2005, which is the next business day after 20 days from the original
deadline for the initiation determination.
International Trade Commission Notification
Because the Department has extended the deadline of the initiation
determination, the Department will contact the Commission and will make
this extension notice available to the Commission.
Dated: May 18, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
