Suspension Agreements
None.
In accordance with section 351.213(b)
of the regulations, an interested party as
defined by section 771(9) of the Act may
request in writing that the Secretary
conduct an administrative review. For
both antidumping and countervailing
duty reviews, the interested party must
specify the individual producers or
exporters covered by an antidumping
finding or an antidumping or
countervailing duty order or suspension
agreement for which it is requesting a
review, and the requesting party must
state why it desires the Secretary to
review those particular producers or
exporters. If the interested party intends
for the Secretary to review sales of
merchandise by an exporter (or a
producer if that producer also exports
merchandise from other suppliers)
which were produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then
the interested party must state
specifically, on an order-by-order basis,
which exporter(s) the request is
intended to cover.
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 69
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department
has clarified its practice with respect to
the collection of final antidumping
duties on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders. See also the Import
Administration Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street &
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230. The Department also asks
parties to serve a copy of their requests
to the Office of Antidumping/
Countervailing Enforcement, Attention:
Sheila Forbes, in room 3065 of the main
Commerce Building. Further, in
accordance with section 351.303(f)(l)(i)
of the regulations, a copy of each
request must be served on every party
on the Department’s service list.
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation
of Administrative Review of
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation’’ for requests received by
the last day of August 2005. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of August 2005, a request for review
of entries covered by an order, finding,
or suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified
above, the Department will instruct the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
assess antidumping or countervailing
duties on those entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of (or bond for)
estimated antidumping or
countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.
This notice is not required by statute
but is published as a service to the
international trading community.
Dated: July 15, 2005.

antidumping duty order on granular
polytetrafluoroetheylene resin from
Japan for the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004. The Department
did not receive any comments or
requests for a public hearing in response
to this notice, and we are rescinding this

CFR 351.213(d).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 28, 1988, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published the antidumping duty order
for granular polytetrafluroetheylene
(PTFE) resin from Japan. See
Antidumping Duty Order; Granular
Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from
Japan, 53 FR 32267 (August 28, 1988).
On August 3, 2004, we published a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of this order for
the period August 1, 2003, through July
31, 2004. See Notice of Opportunity to
Request Administrative Review of
Antidumping Duty Order, Finding or
Suspended Investigation, 69 FR 46496
(August 3, 2004). On August 30, 2004,
Asahi Glass Fluoropolymers Ltd., a
Japanese producer and exporter of the
subject merchandise, and AGC
Chemicals America, an affiliated U.S.
importer of subject merchandise
(collectively AGC), made a timely
request that the Department conduct an
administrative review of AGC. On
September 22, 2004, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of this antidumping
duty administrative review. See Notice
of Initiation of Antidumping Duty and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 69 FR 56745 (September 22, 2004).
On October 8, 2004, the Department
issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to AGC.
On November 2, 2004, AGC submitted
a letter to the Department indicating
that it did not have any shipments or
entries of subject merchandise during
the period of review but had one U.S.
sale of PTFE resin during the period of
review. As a result, on November 29,
2004, the Department issued a
memorandum recommending rescission
of the 2003–2004 administrative review
and invited interested parties to
comment. See Memorandum to Barbara
E. Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant
Secretary dated November 29, 2004,
(November 29 Memorandum). On
December 10, 2004, AGC submitted
comments in disagreement with the
recommendation in the November 29
Memorandum. AGC argued that the
Department does not have an
established practice of conditioning an
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
administrative review on the existence
of entries during the period of review
and that the Department’s interpretation
of 19 CFR 351.213(e) in this instance is
inconsistent with the plain meaning of
the regulation. AGC also argued that
because no review of AGC’s sales has
occurred since the imposition of the
antidumping duty order on August 28,
1988, the 2003–2004 administrative
review would determine a more
accurate deposit rate and, therefore, the
Department should not rescind the
administrative review.
On May 10, 2005, the Department
published a notice of intent to rescind
the 2003–2004 review and invited
interested parties to request a hearing or
submit case briefs within 20 days of its
publication. See Granular
Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from
Japan: Notice of Intent to Rescind
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 70 FR 24510 (May 10, 2005).
We received no requests for a hearing or
submissions of case briefs.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review in whole or only
with respect to a particular exporter or
producer if we conclude that during the
period of review there were ‘‘no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise.’’ Contrary to AGC’s
arguments, the Department’s practice,
supported by substantial precedent,
requires that there be entries during the
period of review upon which to assess
antidumping duties, irrespective of the
export–price or constructed export–
price designation of U.S. sales. See, e.g.,
Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from
Taiwan: Final Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 68 FR 63067 (November 7,
2003); Stainless Steel Plate in Coils
From Taiwan: Final Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 69 FR 20859 (April 19, 2004).
Given that AGC had no entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review and that AGC has no entry
under suspension of liquidation that
corresponds to the sale which occurred
during the period of review, we would
be unable to assess any antidumping
duties resulting from this administrative
review. See November 29 Memorandum.
Accordingly, we are rescinding the
2003–2004 administrative review of
PTFE resin from Japan pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(3).
This notice is published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
