Certain In–Shell Pistachios from Iran;
Final Results of the Expedited Sunset
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 1, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
in–shell raw pistachios from Iran,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On
the basis of a notice of intent to
participate and an adequate substantive
response filed on behalf of domestic
interested parties and an inadequate
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 likely
lead to the continuation or recurrence of
dumping. The dumping margins are
identified in the Final Results of Review
section of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 4, 2005.

Background
On March 1, 2005, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 205001
antidumping duty order on in–shell
pistachios from Iran pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Fiveyear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 9919
(March 1, 2005). The Department
received notices of intent to participate
from two domestic interested parties,
Cal–Pure Pistachios, Inc. (Cal–Pure) and
the California Pistachio Commission
(CPC) together with the Western
Pistachio Association (WPA)
(collectively, domestic interested
parties), within the deadline specified
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under sections 771(9)(C), (E)
and (F) of the Act as U.S. producers of
the domestic like product, trade or
business associations, a majority of
whose members produce the domestic
like product, and associations, a
majority of whose members is composed
of interested parties. We received
complete substantive responses from
one domestic interested party, CPC/
WPA, within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(I).
The Department also received a
response from Rafsanjan Pistachio
Producers Cooperative (RPPC), a
respondent interested party. However,
the Department determined that the
response from RPPC was inadequate.
The Department notified the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
in writing of its finding of inadequate
response and intention to conduct an
expedited sunset review. See Letter from
Kelly Parkhill, Director, Industry
Support & Analysis, Office of Policy,
Import Administration, to Robert
Carpenter, Director, Office of
Investigations, International Trade
Commission, dated April 20, 2005. 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 sunset review
of this order.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the
antidumping duty order is raw, in–shell
pistachio nuts from which the hulls
have been removed, leaving the inner
hard shells, and edible meats from Iran.
This merchandise is currently provided
for in subheading 0802.50.20.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise under order is dispositive.
