AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is September 1, 2003, through August 31, 2004. The Department has preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (‘‘POR’’) for which the importerspecific assessment rates are above de minimis. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. See the ‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section of this notice. DATES: Effective date: October 7, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: P. Lee Smith or Scot Fullerton, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1655 or (202) 482–1386, respectively. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:27 Oct 06, 2005 Jkt 208001 Background On September 15, 1997, the Department published an amended final determination and antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the PRC. See Notice of Amendment of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People’s Republic of China, 62 FR 48218 (September 15, 1997). Based on timely requests from various interested parties, the Department initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the PRC with respect to the following companies: China Kingdom International (‘‘China Kingdom’’); Qingdao Jinyongxiang Aquatic Foods Co., Ltd. (‘‘JYX Aquatic’’); Qingdao Xiyuan Refrigerate Food Co., Ltd. (‘‘Qingdao Xiyuan’’); Weishan Zhenyu Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (‘‘Weishan Zhenyu’’); Yancheng Hi-King Agriculture Developing Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yancheng Hi-King’’); and Yancheng Yaou Seafood Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yancheng Yaou’’). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 62022 (October 22, 2004) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). On January 10, 2005, the Crawfish Processors Alliance (‘‘petitioner’’) withdrew its request for review with respect to Qingdao Xiyuan. The Department rescinded the administrative review of Qingdao Xiyuan on February 11, 2005. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People’s Republic of China: Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 7232 (February 11, 2005). On March 31, 2005, the Department found that JYX Aquatic had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR and rescinded the administrative review with respect to JYX Aquatic. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People’s Republic of China: Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 16484 (March 31, 2005). On May 31, 2005, the Department extended the time limit for the completion of the preliminary results of review to no later than September 30, 2005. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 30926 (May 31, 2005). On October 29, 2004, the Department issued an antidumping duty questionnaire to each PRC company listed in the above-referenced initiation notice and received responses from China Kingdom, Weishan Zhenyu, PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Yancheng Hi-King and Yancheng Yaou between December 6, 2004 and January 18, 2005. The Department issued supplemental questionnaires to China Kingdom, Weishan Zhenyu, Yancheng Hi-King and Yancheng Yaou and received responses from February 9, 2005 through July 25, 2005. Scope of Order The product covered by this antidumping duty order is freshwater crawfish tail meat, in all its forms (whether washed or with fat on, whether purged or unpurged), grades, and sizes; whether frozen, fresh, or chilled; and regardless of how it is packed, preserved, or prepared. Excluded from the scope of the order are live crawfish and other whole crawfish, whether boiled, frozen, fresh, or chilled. Also excluded are saltwater crawfish of any type, and parts thereof. Freshwater crawfish tail meat is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item numbers 1605.40.10.10 and 1605.40.10.90, which are the new HTSUS numbers for prepared foodstuffs, indicating peeled crawfish tail meat and other, as introduced by CBP in 2000, and HTSUS numbers 0306.19.00.10 and 0306.29.00.00, which are reserved for fish and crustaceans in general. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only. The written description of the scope of this order is dispositive. Non-Market Economy In every case conducted by the Department involving the PRC, the PRC has been treated as a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’). Pursuant to section 771(18)(C)(i) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), any determination that a foreign country is a NME country shall remain in effect until revoked by the administering authority. See Fresh Garlic from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Rescission in Part, 69 FR 70638 (December 7, 2004). None of the parties to this proceeding has contested such treatment. Accordingly, we calculated normal value (‘‘NV’’) in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act, which applies to NME countries. Surrogate Country and Factors On February 25, 2005, the Department provided interested parties the opportunity to submit comments regarding the selection of a surrogate country and factor valuation in these preliminary results. On April 15, 2005, Weishan Zhenyu submitted publicly E:\FR\FM\07OCN1.SGM 07OCN1
