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.

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

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.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision Memo’’)
from Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated August 30, 2005,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The issues discussed in the Decision
Memo include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail if the order were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this review and
the corresponding recommendations in
this public memorandum which is on
file in room B–099 of the main
Commerce Building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memo can be accessed directly
on the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/

‘‘September 2005.’’ The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision Memo
are identical in content.
Final Results of Review
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on synthetic
indigo from China would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the following weighted–average
percentage margins:

Background Information
On January 31, 2005, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM
07SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 7, 2005 / Notices
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

Administrative Determination Deadlines

continue to be due 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results.

SUMMARY: On May 2, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the countervailing (‘‘CVD’’) duty
order on structural steel beams from
South Korea pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’). See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 22632 (May
2, 2005). On the basis of a notice of
intent to participate and an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of
the domestic interested parties and
inadequate response (in this case, no
response) from respondent interested
parties, the Department determined to
conduct an expedited sunset review of
this CVD order pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B). As a result of this
sunset review, the Department finds that
revocation of the CVD order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy
at the level indicated in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.

Background
On May 2, 2005, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the CVD
order on structural steel beams from
South Korea pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 22632 (May
2, 2005). The Department received a
notice of intent to participate from the
following domestic interested parties:
the Committee for Fair Beam Imports
and its individual members including
Nucor Corp. (‘‘Nucor’’), Nucor–Yamato
Steel Co. (‘‘Nucor–Yamato’’), Steel
Dynamics, Inc. (‘‘SDI’’), and TXI–
Chaparral Steel, Inc. (‘‘TXI’’)
(collectively, ‘‘domestic interested
parties’’), within the deadline specified
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The
domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under sections
771(9)(C) and (E) of the Act, as an ad–
hoc association which is comprised of
domestic producers of the subject
merchandise.
The Department received a complete
substantive response collectively from
the domestic interested parties within
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, the
Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent interested party to this
proceeding. As a result, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted an expedited
review of this CVD order.
Scope of the Order

order are doubly–symmetric shapes,
whether hot–or cold–rolled, drawn,
extruded, formed or finished, having at
least one dimension of at least 80 mm
(3.2 inches or more), whether of carbon
or alloy (other than stainless) steel, and
whether or not drilled, punched,
notched, painted, coated, or clad. These
products (‘‘Structural Steel Beams’’)
include, but are not limited to, wide–
flange beams (W shapes), bearing piles
(HP shapes), standard beams (S or I
shapes), and M–shapes.
All products that meet the physical
