Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty
Order; Honey from the People’s
Republic of China, 66 FR 63670
(December 10, 2001). On December 1,
2004, the Department published a
Notice of Opportunity to Request an
Administrative Review of Antidumping
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding,
or Suspended Investigation, 69 FR
69889. On December 30, 2004, the
American Honey Producers Association
and the Sioux Honey Association
(collectively, petitioners), requested, in
accordance with section 351.213(b) of
the Department’s regulations, an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on honey from
the PRC for 19 companies covering the
period December 1, 2003, through
November 30, 2004. On December 30,
2004, and January 3, 2005, nine Chinese
companies requested an administrative
review of their respective companies.
The Department notes that petitioners’
request covered these nine companies as
well.
On January 31, 2005, the Department
initiated an administrative review of 19
Chinese companies. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January
31, 2005). On March 29, 2005, the
Department rescinded this review with
respect to seven companies because
petitioners, the only party to request a
review for these companies, withdrew
their request for review. See Notice of
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Honey from the
People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 15836
(March 29, 2005).
On May 25, 2005, the Department
rescinded this review with respect to
Anhui Native Produce Import and
Export Corp. and Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region Native Produce
and Animal By–Products Import and
Export Corporation because petitioners,
the only party to request a review for
these companies, withdrew their request
for review. See Honey from the People’s
Republic of China: Notice of Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 70 FR 30082
(May 25, 2005).
On June 22, 2005, petitioners filed a
letter withdrawing their request for
review of Wuhan Bee (respondent), and
on the same day, respondent also filed
a letter withdrawing its request for an
administrative review. Both parties
originally requested a review of Wuhan
Bee and both parties requested that the
Department withdraw the review
despite the request coming after the 90–
day withdrawal period because both
parties have withdrawn their original
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
requests for review and because the
Department has not yet committed
substantial resources to reviewing
Wuhan Bee. Further, both parties stated
that the Department may rescind a
review after the 90–day deadline,
according to its regulations, when it
determines it is reasonable. Respondent
further noted that there are no other
Wuhan Bee importers or other
interested parties that could pose any
valid objection to the rescission of the
review.
Rescission of Review
The applicable regulation, 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), states that if a party that
requested an administrative review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, the
Secretary will rescind the review. It
further states that the Secretary may
extend this time limit if the Secretary
finds it reasonable to do so. Although
petitioners and respondent withdrew
their review requests with respect to
Wuhan Bee after the 90–day deadline,
the Department finds it reasonable to
extend the deadline for parties to
withdraw their request for review with
respect to Wuhan Bee in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The
Department finds it reasonable to extend
the withdrawal deadline with respect to
Wuhan Bee because the Department has
not yet committed substantial resources
to reviewing Wuhan Bee in the instant
review and because both parties who
requested the review have subsequently
withdrawn their requests. Therefore, we
are partially rescinding this review of
the antidumping duty order on honey
from the PRC covering the period
December 1, 2003, through November
30, 2004, with respect to Wuhan Bee.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For those
companies for which this review is
rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
will issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of publication of this notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
E:\FR\FM\21JYN1.SGM
21JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 139 / Thursday, July 21, 2005 / Notices
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/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 violation that
is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751 and 777(i)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

On April 28, 2005, petitioners

Export Corp. (Anhui Native) and on
April 29, 2005, petitioners withdrew
their request for review of Inner

Animal By-Products.’’ These two names refer to the
same company and the review is, therefore, being
rescinded with respect to both iterations of the
name.

Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 70 FR 30082 (May 25, 2005).
On June 20, 2005, petitioners
requested that the Department extend
the date for the issuance of the
preliminary results in this proceeding
from 245 days to 365 days, due to the
large number of companies in the
proceeding, complex issues of affiliation
for several companies under review, and
the difficulty in finding up–to-date
factor valuation data, particularly for
raw honey.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Pursuant to Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and section 351.213(h)(1) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department shall issue the preliminary
results of an administrative review
within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of the date of
publication of the order. The Act further
provides that the Department shall issue
the final results of review within 120
days after the date on which the notice
of the preliminary results was published
in the Federal Register. However, if the
Department determines that it is not
practicable to complete the review
within this time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section
351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s
regulations allow the Department to
extend the 245–day period to 365 days
and the 120–day period to 180 days.
The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due
no later than September 2, 2005. The
Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this administrative review
within this time limit because it needs
additional time to analyze the
questionnaire responses, issue
appropriate supplemental
questionnaires and conduct
verifications, and research surrogate
value data, particularly for raw honey.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section
351.213(h)(2) of the Department’s
regulations, the Department is extending
the time limit for the completion of
these preliminary results until no later
than December 9, 2005, or 98 days. The
deadline for the final results of the
administrative review continues to be
120 days after the date the publication
of the preliminary results, unless
extended.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 10, 2001, the Department of Commerce published in the
Federal Register an antidumping duty order covering honey from the PRC.
See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Antidumping Duty Order; Honey from the People's Republic of
China, 66 FR 63670 (December 10, 2001). On December 1, 2004, the
Department published a Notice of Opportunity to Request an
Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation, 69 FR 69889. On December 30, 2004,
the American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey
Association (collectively, petitioners), requested, in accordance with
section 351.213(b) of the Department's regulations, an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC for 19
companies covering the period December 1, 2003, through November 30,
2004. On December 30, 2004, and January 3, 2005, nine Chinese companies
requested an administrative review of their respective companies. The
Department notes that petitioners' request covered these nine companies
as well.
On January 31, 2005, the Department initiated an administrative
review of 19 Chinese companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation
in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 2005). On March 29, 2005, the
Department rescinded this review with respect to seven companies
because petitioners, the only party to request a review for these
companies, withdrew their request for review. See Notice of Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Honey from the
People's Republic of China, 70 FR 15836 (March 29, 2005).
On May 25, 2005, the Department rescinded this review with respect
to Anhui Native Produce Import and Export Corp. and Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region Native Produce and Animal By-Products Import and
Export Corporation because petitioners, the only party to request a
review for these companies, withdrew their request for review. See
Honey from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Partial Rescission
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 30082 (May 25, 2005).
On June 22, 2005, petitioners filed a letter withdrawing their
request for review of Wuhan Bee (respondent), and on the same day,
respondent also filed a letter withdrawing its request for an
administrative review. Both parties originally requested a review of
Wuhan Bee and both parties requested that the Department withdraw the
review despite the request coming after the 90-day withdrawal period
because both parties have withdrawn their original requests for review
and because the Department has not yet committed substantial resources
to reviewing Wuhan Bee. Further, both parties stated that the
Department may rescind a review after the 90-day deadline, according to
its regulations, when it determines it is reasonable. Respondent
further noted that there are no other Wuhan Bee importers or other
interested parties that could pose any valid objection to the
rescission of the review.
Rescission of Review
The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. It further
states that the Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary
finds it reasonable to do so. Although petitioners and respondent
withdrew their review requests with respect to Wuhan Bee after the 90-
day deadline, the Department finds it reasonable to extend the deadline
for parties to withdraw their request for review with respect to Wuhan
Bee in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department finds it
reasonable to extend the withdrawal deadline with respect to Wuhan Bee
because the Department has not yet committed substantial resources to
reviewing Wuhan Bee in the instant review and because both parties who
requested the review have subsequently withdrawn their requests.
Therefore, we are partially rescinding this review of the antidumping
duty order on honey from the PRC covering the period December 1, 2003,
through November 30, 2004, with respect to Wuhan Bee.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For
those companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly
to CBP within 15 days of publication of this notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement
[[Page 42033]]
of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the

requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a violation that is subject to sanction.
