VerDate Aug<31>2005
Notice of Extension of the Deadline for
Determining the Adequacy of the
Antidumping Duty Petition: Liquid
Sulfur Dioxide from Canada
The product covered by this petition
is technical or commercial grade and
refrigeration grade liquid sulfur dioxide
of a minimum 99.98 percent assay.
Sulfur dioxide is identified by the
chemical formula SO2. The CAS No. for
sulfur dioxide is 7446–09–5. Liquid
sulfur dioxide is pure sulfur dioxide gas

compressed through refrigeration and
stored under pressure. Sulfur dioxide in
its gaseous state is excluded from the
petition.
Liquid sulfur dioxide subject to this
petition is currently classifiable under
subheading 2811.23.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). While the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and Customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
petition is dispositive.
Determination of Industry Support for
the Petition
Section 732(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’) requires
that a petition be filed by or on behalf
of the domestic industry. Section
732(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that the
Department’s industry support
determination be based on whether a
minimum percentage of the relevant
industry supports the petition. A
petition meets this requirement if the
domestic producers or workers who
support the petition account for: (i) at
least 25 percent of the total production
of the domestic like product; and (ii)
more than 50 percent of the production
of the domestic like product produced
by that portion of the industry
expressing support for, or opposition to,
the petition. Moreover, section
732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if
the petition does not establish support
of domestic producers or workers
accounting for more than 50 percent of
the total production of the domestic like
product, the Department shall: (i) poll
the industry or rely on other
information in order to determine if
there is support for the petition, as
required by subparagraph (A), or (ii) if
there is a large number of producers,
determine industry support using a
statistically valid sampling method to
poll the industry.
Extension of Time
Section 732(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act
provides that within 20 days of the
filing of an antidumping duty petition,
the Department will determine, inter
alia, whether the petition has been filed
by or on behalf of the U.S. industry
producing the domestic like product.
Section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provides
that the deadline for the initiation
determination can be extended by 20
days in any case in which the
Department must ‘‘poll or otherwise
determine support for the petition by
the industry . . .’’ Because it is not clear
from the petition whether the industry
support criteria have been met, we have
determined to extend the time for
initiating an investigation in order to
E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM
27OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 207 / Thursday, October 27, 2005 / Notices
poll the domestic industry. On October
7, 2005, we issued polling
questionnaires to all known domestic
producers of liquid sulfur dioxide
identified in the petition. On October
12, 2005, we sent a letter to the
domestic producers transmitting revised
scope language provided by the
petitioner on October 11, 2005. The
questionnaires are on file in the Central
Records Unit in room B–099 of the main
Department of Commerce building. We
requested that each company complete
the polling questionnaire and fax their
responses to the Department.
We will need additional time to
analyze the domestic producers’
responses to our request for information.
See the ‘‘Determination of Industry
Support for the Petition’’ section of this
notice, above. Therefore, it is necessary
to extend the deadline determining the
adequacy of the petition for a period not
to exceed 40 days from the filing of the
petition. As a result, the initiation
determination is due no later than
November 9, 2005.

Initiation of Investigation
The Petition
On September 30, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
received an antidumping duty petition (``Petition'') filed by Calabrian
Corporation (``Petitioner'') on behalf of the domestic industry
producing liquid sulfur dioxide.
Scope of the Petition
The product covered by this petition is technical or commercial
grade and refrigeration grade liquid sulfur dioxide of a minimum 99.98
percent assay. Sulfur dioxide is identified by the chemical formula
SO2. The CAS No. for sulfur dioxide is 7446-09-5. Liquid sulfur dioxide
is pure sulfur dioxide gas compressed through refrigeration and stored
under pressure. Sulfur dioxide in its gaseous state is excluded from
the petition.
Liquid sulfur dioxide subject to this petition is currently
classifiable under subheading 2811.23.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). While the HTSUS subheading
is provided for convenience and Customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this petition is dispositive.
Determination of Industry Support for the Petition
Section 732(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that the
Department's industry support determination be based on whether a

a large number of producers, determine industry support using a

Section 732(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that within 20 days of
the filing of an antidumping duty petition, the Department will
determine, inter alia, whether the petition has been filed by or on
behalf of the U.S. industry producing the domestic like product.
Section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act provides that the deadline for the
initiation determination can be extended by 20 days in any case in
which the Department must ``poll or otherwise determine support for the
petition by the industry . . .'' Because it is not clear from the

filing of the petition. As a result, the initiation determination is
due no later than November 9, 2005.

determination, the Department will contact the International Trade
Commission (``ITC'') and will make this extension notice available to
the ITC.
