Download as PDF 53166 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 7, 2005 / Notices as amended (‘‘the Act’’). On the basis of a Notice of Intent to Participate, adequate substantive response filed on behalf of a domestic interested party, and lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review. As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins likely to prevail if the order were revoked are identified in the Final Results of Review section of this notice. EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Hilary E. Sadler, Esq., AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4340. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 2, 2005, the Department published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on synthetic indigo from China. See Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 22632 (May 2, 2005) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). On May 17, 2005, the Department received a Notice of Intent to Participate from Buffalo Color Corporation (‘‘Buffalo Color’’), a domestic interested party, within the deadline specified in section 315.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s regulations. Buffalo Color claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler in the United States of a domestic like product. On June 1, 2005, the Department received a complete substantive response from Buffalo Color within the deadline specified in section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of the Department’s regulations. We did not receive a response from any respondent interested party to this proceeding. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the Department’s regulations, the Department determined to conduct an expedited review of this order. Scope of the Order The products subject to this order are the deep blue synthetic vat dye known as synthetic indigo and those of its derivatives designated commercially as ‘‘Vat Blue 1.’’ Included are Vat Blue 1 (synthetic indigo), Color Index No. 73000, and its derivatives, pre–reduced indigo or indigo white (Color Index No. VerDate Aug<18>2005 15:05 Sep 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 73001) and solubilized indigo (Color Index No. 73002). The subject merchandise may be sold in any form (e.g., powder, granular, paste, liquid, or solution) and in any strength. Synthetic indigo and its derivatives subject to this order are currently classifiable under subheadings 3204.15.10.00, 3204.15.40.00 or 3204.15.80.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the order is dispositive.

See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 2005). The preliminary results of this review are currently due no later than September 2, 2005. Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order or finding for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period specified, the administering authority may extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 days. We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following reason. On July 19, 2005, the Department issued a New Subsidy Allegation memorandum, where we initiated on one new program and agreed to examine two additional programs that the Department has investigated in other India CVD proceedings. See July 19, 2005, New Subsidy Allegation memorandum from the team to Melissa G. Skinner, Office Director (‘‘New Subsidy Allegation Memorandum’’). Conducting the analyses for each program would require the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to these programs. The Department gave respondent parties 37 days to provide the requested information on these programs. The current due date is August 25, 2005, with no extensions. Given the number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review by 120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later than December 31, 2005. However, December 31 falls on Saturday and January 2 is a federal holiday, and it is the Department’s long–standing practice to issue a determination the next business day when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any other day when the Department is closed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background Information

    On January 31, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of

[[Page 53167]]

initiation of the administrative review on the countervailing duty 
order of certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from India, 
covering the period January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 
2005). The preliminary results of this review are currently due no 
later than September 2, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
or finding for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reason. On July 19, 2005, the Department issued a New Subsidy 
Allegation memorandum, where we initiated on one new program and agreed 
to examine two additional programs that the Department has investigated 
in other India CVD proceedings. See July 19, 2005, New Subsidy 
Allegation memorandum from the team to Melissa G. Skinner, Office 
Director (``New Subsidy Allegation Memorandum''). Conducting the 
analyses for each program would require the Department to gather and 
analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to these 
programs. The Department gave respondent parties 37 days to provide the 
requested information on these programs. The current due date is August 
25, 2005, with no extensions. Given the number and complexity of issues 
in this case, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 
we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of 
review by 120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no 
later than December 31, 2005. However, December 31 falls on Saturday 
and January 2 is a federal holiday, and it is the Department's long-
standing practice to issue a determination the next business day when 
the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal holiday, or any 
other day when the Department is closed. See Notice of Clarification: 
Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative 
Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 
70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the deadline for completion of 
the preliminary results is January 3, 2006. The final results continue 
to be due 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: August 31, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
