Market Economy Inputs Practice in Antidumping Proceedings involving Non-Market Economy Countries.
Document Number: E5-2677
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-05-26
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
In antidumping proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') calculates normal value by valuing the NME producers' factors of production, to the extent possible, using prices from a market economy that is at a comparable level of economic development which is also a significant producer of comparable merchandise. The goal of this surrogate factor valuation is to use the ``best available information.'' See section 773(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930; Shangdong Huraong General Corp. v. United States, 159 F. Supp.2d 714, 719 (CIT 2001). Normally, if a respondent sources an input from a market-economy supplier, the Department will use the average input price paid by the respondent to market economy suppliers (in market economy currency) to value all of the given input (both imported and domestically-sourced) used by respondents, provided three conditions are met. First, the volume of the imported input as a share of total purchases from all sources must be ``meaningful,'' a term used in the Preamble to the Regulations but which is interpreted by the Department on a case-by-case basis. See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27366 (May 19, 1997) (Preamble). See, also, Shakeproof v. United States, 268 F.3d 1376, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2001). Second, this average import price must reflect bona fide sales. Third, the Department disregards all inputs it has reason to believe or suspect might be dumped or subsidized. The Department is now considering options to change certain aspects of its current policy and practice regarding market economy input prices, and through this notice, invites public comment on the options detailed below. This notice is part of an ongoing effort by which the Department is considering modifications to its NME policy and practice. The Department may solicit additional public comment on other possible changes, as well.

Implementation of the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard-Phase 1: Reconsideration
Document Number: 05-10580
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-05-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA is taking final action on two issues raised in a petition for reconsideration of EPA's rule to implement the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or standard). In addition, EPA is taking final action to clarify two aspects of that implementation rule. On April 30, 2004, EPA issued a final rule addressing key elements of the program to implement the 8-hour ozone NAAQS (Phase 1 Rule). Subsequently, on June 29, 2004, and September 24, 2004, three different parties each filed a petition for reconsideration of certain specified aspects of the final rule. By letter dated September 23, 2004, EPA granted reconsideration of three issues raised in the petition for reconsideration filed by Earthjustice on behalf of several environmental organizations. On February 3, 2005, we proposed action on two of the issues and today we are taking final action on these two issues: The applicability of the section 185 fee provisions once the 1-hour NAAQS is revoked, and the timing for determining what is an ``applicable requirement'' for purposes of anti-backsliding once the 1-hour NAAQS is revoked. On April 4, 2005, we issued a separate proposed rule on new source review (NSR) anti-backsliding, the third issue on which we granted reconsideration, and we plan to issue a final rule by June 30, 2005. In the February 3, 2005 proposal, we also proposed to revise the Phase 1 Rule in two respects. Today, we are taking final action on these two issues. First, we have determined that contingency measures for failure to make reasonable further progress (RFP) or attain by the applicable attainment date for the 1-hour ozone standard are no longer required as part of the State implementation plan (SIP) for as part of the SIP for an area after revocation of that standard. Second, we are adding the requirement to submit attainment demonstrations to the definition of ``applicable requirements'' in Sec. 51.900.
Petition to Remove 4,4′-Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate From the List of Hazardous Air Pollutants
Document Number: 05-10579
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-05-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA is announcing the receipt of a complete petition from the Diisocyanates Panel of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) requesting EPA to remove the chemical 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI)(Chemical Abstract Service No. 101-68-8) from the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) contained in section 112(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). We have determined that the ACC's original petition dated December 23, 2002, and the addenda provided by the ACC through March 7, 2005, will support an assessment of the human health impacts associated with people living in the vicinity of facilities emitting MDI. In addition, the data submitted by the ACC will support an assessment of the environmental impacts associated with emissions of MDI to the ambient air and deposited onto soil or water. Consequently, we have concluded that ACC's petition is complete as of March 7, 2005, the date that the last addendum was received, and is ready for public comment and the technical review phase of our delisting procedure. The EPA invites the public to comment on the petition and to provide additional data, beyond that filed in the petition, on sources, emissions, exposure, health effects and environmental impacts associated with MDI that may be relevant to our technical review. The petition is available through Docket ID OAR-2005-0085.
