SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Statutory Time Limits Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is extending the time limit for the preliminary results of the review of Heavy Forged Hand Tools, Finished or Unfinished, With or Without Handles (‘‘HFHTs’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). This review covers the period February 1, 2004 through January 31, 2005. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Department determines that completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is not practicable. This review covers four companies, and to conduct the sales and factor analyses for each requires the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to each company’s sales practices, manufacturing methods and corporate relationships. The Department also requires additional time in order to analyze complicated potential affiliation issues between some of the companies participating in this review. Therefore, 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 until February 28, 2006. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. E:\FR\FM\28OCN1.SGM 28OCN1

Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges from India; Final Results 
of New Shipper Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 3, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of new shipper review of certain 
forged stainless steel flanges from India. The review covers one 
manufacturer/exporter, Hilton Forge (Hilton). Although interested 
parties had an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results, we 
received no comments. The Department has not made any changes in its 
analysis following publication of the preliminary results. Therefore, 
the final results of review are unchanged from those presented in the 
preliminary results of review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 28, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Baker or Robert James, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
2924 and (202) 482-0649, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 3, 2005, the Department published its preliminary results 
of new shipper review of certain forged stainless steel flanges from 
India. See Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges from India; 
Preliminary Results of New Shipper Review, 70 FR 44560 (August 3, 
2005). No party submitted comments on the preliminary results.

Period of Review

    The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2004, through July 31, 
2004.

Scope of the Review

    The products covered by this order are certain forged stainless 
steel flanges, both finished and not finished, generally manufactured 
to specification ASTM A-182, and made in alloys such as 304, 304L, 316, 
and 316L. The scope includes five general types of flanges. They are 
weld-neck, used for butt-weld line connection; threaded, used for 
threaded line connections; slip-on and lap joint, used with stub-ends/
butt-weld line connections; socket weld, used to fit pipe into a 
machined recession; and blind, used to seal off a line. The sizes of 
the flanges within the scope range generally from one to six inches; 
however, all sizes of the above-described merchandise are included in 
the scope. Specifically excluded from the scope of this order are cast 
stainless steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges generally are 
manufactured to specification ASTM A-351. The flanges subject to this 
order are currently classifiable under subheadings 7307.21.1000 and 
7307.21.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS 
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the merchandise under review is dispositive of 
whether or not the merchandise is covered by the scope of the order.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that a margin of 0.89 percent exists for Hilton for 
the period
    February 1, 2004, through July 31, 2004.

Assessment

    The Department will determine, and the U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties

[[Page 62095]]

on all appropriate entries, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b). We have 
calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates on the basis of the 
ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the 
examined sales to the total entered value of the examined sales for 
each importer. We will direct CBP to assess the resulting assessment 
rates against the entered customs values for the subject merchandise on 
each of the importer's entries during the review period. The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to the CBP 
within 15 days of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Bonding is no longer permitted to fulfill security requirements for 
shipments from Hilton of stainless steel flanges from India entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of these final results of new shipper review. The following cash-
deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final 
results of this new shipper review for all shipments of subject 
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or 
after the publication date as provided for by section 751(a)(1) and 751 
(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act):
 for subject merchandise manufactured and exported by Hilton 
the cash deposit rate shall be 0.89 percent;
 for subject merchandise exported by Hilton but not 
manufactured by Hilton the cash-deposit rate will continue to be the 
``all others'' rate or the rate applicable to the manufacturer, if so 
established;
 the cash deposit rate for exporters who received a rate in a 
prior segment of the proceeding will continue to be the rate assigned 
in that segment of the proceeding;
 if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any 
previous segment of this proceeding, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be that established for the manufacturer in the most 
recent segment of these proceedings in which that manufacturer 
participated;
 if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered 
in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will be 162.14 percent, the all others rate established in 
the less-than-fair-value investigation. (See Amended Final 
Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; Certain Forged Stainless 
Steel Flanges from India, 59 FR 5994 (February 9, 1994)).
    These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication 
of the final results of the next administrative review.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR Sec.  351.402(f) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR Sec.  351.305. Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this new shipper review and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 21, 2005.
