CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD
INVESTIGATION BOARD
Sunshine Act Meeting
In connection with its investigation
into the cause of an explosion and fire
which occurred at BP’s Texas City
refinery on March 23, 2005, the United
States Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board (CSB) announces
that it will convene a community
meeting starting at 6 p.m. at the Charles
T. Doyle Convention Center, 2010 5th
Avenue North, Texas City, Texas 77590.
At the meeting CSB staff will present to
the Board the preliminary results of
their investigation into this incident.
There will be a public comment period
after the investigators’ presentation.
At approximately 1:20 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 23rd, a series of
explosions occurred at the BP Texas
City refinery during the restarting of a
hydrocarbon isomerization unit. Fifteen
workers were killed and about 170
others were injured. Many of the victims
were in or around work trailers located
near a blowdown drum and stack that
were open to the atmosphere. The
explosions occurred when a distillation
tower flooded with hydrocarbons and
was overpressurized, resulting in a
release of flammable hydrocarbons from
the blowdown stack. After the staff
presentation, the Board will allow a
time for public comment. Following the
conclusion of the public comment
period, the Board will consider whether
the preliminary facts presented
necessitate any recommendations prior
to the final completion of the Board’s
investigative report.
All staff presentations are preliminary
and are intended solely to allow the
Board to consider in a public forum the
issues and factors involved in this case.
No factual analyses, conclusions or
E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM
04OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 4, 2005 / Notices
findings should be considered final.
Only after the Board has considered a
final staff presentation and approved the
staff report next year will there be an
approved final record of this incident.
The meeting will be open to the
public. Please notify CSB if a translator
or interpreter is needed, at least 5
business days prior to the public
meeting. For more information, please
contact the Chemical Safety and Hazard
Investigation Board at (202) 261–7600,

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 1, 2005, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:55 Oct 03, 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.

are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and
Decision Memorandum’’ from Barbara

Memorandum’’), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. The issues
discussed in the Decision Memorandum
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping and the
magnitude of the margin likely to
prevail if the order were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this sunset review
and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum, which is on file in room
B–099 of the main Department building.

Final Results of Review

antidumping duty order on in–shell
pistachios from Iran would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following percentage
weighted–average margins:

This notice also serves as the only

administrative protective orders (APO)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 of the
Department’s regulations. Timely
notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to

sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
