Rescission of Review On October 18, 2004, Siderca informed the Department that it did not ship OCTG to the United States during the POR, and requested rescission of the administrative review. On April 19, 2005, the Department issued a supplemental questionnaire to Siderca. The Department attached to it a list of shipments of OCTG from Argentina that entered the United States during the POR that the Department had reason to believe had been manufactured by Siderca or its affiliates. We obtained this list from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by doing a CBP automated commercial service (ACS) data query. Siderca submitted its response on April 22, 2005. Siderca explained that it did not sell to the E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1 52984 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 6, 2005 / Notices importer identified on the list of entries that we had attached to the April 19, 2005, supplemental questionnaire. The Department subsequently requested, and received from Customs, documentation regarding certain of those entries. We placed these documents on the record of this review on June 22, 2005, and gave parties an opportunity to comment. We received no comments. Based upon Siderca’s explanation and the evidence on the record, we are satisfied that Siderca did not make any consumption entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise during the POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an administrative review, in whole or with respect to a particular exporter or producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the period covered by the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise. Because the evidence shows that there were no entries of OCTG made by Siderca during the POR, the Department is rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). [A–570–879] Background The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published an antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (‘‘PVA’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) on October 1, 2003.

On October 29, 2004, the petitioners1 requested that the Department conduct an antidumping duty administrative review of Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works. On November 19, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review of PVA from the PRC for the period March 20, 2003, through September 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 67701 (November 19, 2004).2 On June 23, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review from July 3, 2005, to August 2, 2005. See Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 36375 (June 23, 2005).

The Department inadvertently published an incorrect beginning date which was the date of the preliminary determination of the investigation. Because the only respondent in this proceeding had a de minimis rate in the preliminary determination, the correct beginning date for the POR should have been the date of the final determination in the investigation. Thus, the Department corrected the beginning date of the POR to reflect the correct POR which is August 11, 2003, through September 30, 2004.

The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of review from 245 days to 365 days if it determines that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results within the 245-day period. Completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the Department needs additional time to research and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to the respondent company’s large number of factors of production, surrogate values, and to evaluate certain issues raised by the petitioners and the respondent company. Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review by an additional 45 days until October 31, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. Dated: August 30, 2005. Barbara E.

Rescission of Review

    On October 18, 2004, Siderca informed the Department that it did 
not ship OCTG to the United States during the POR, and requested 
rescission of the administrative review. On April 19, 2005, the 
Department issued a supplemental questionnaire to Siderca. The 
Department attached to it a list of shipments of OCTG from Argentina 
that entered the United States during the POR that the Department had 
reason to believe had been manufactured by Siderca or its affiliates. 
We obtained this list from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
by doing a CBP automated commercial service (ACS) data query. Siderca 
submitted its response on April 22, 2005. Siderca explained that it did 
not sell to the

importer identified on the list of entries that we had attached to the 
April 19, 2005, supplemental questionnaire. The Department subsequently 
requested, and received from Customs, documentation regarding certain 
of those entries. We placed these documents on the record of this 
review on June 22, 2005, and gave parties an opportunity to comment. We 
received no comments. Based upon Siderca's explanation and the evidence 
on the record, we are satisfied that Siderca did not make any 
consumption entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise during 
the POR.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or with respect to a particular 
exporter or producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the 
period covered by the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales 
of the subject merchandise. Because the evidence shows that there were 
no entries of OCTG made by Siderca during the POR, the Department is 
rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
