SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Department), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), has determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain non–frozen apple juice concentrate (NFAJC) from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. On October 21, 2005, the International Trade Commission (ITC), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain NFAJC from the PRC would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4), the Department is publishing notice of the continuation of the antidumping duty order on certain NFAJC from the PRC. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 Background On May 2, 2005, the Department initiated, and the ITC instituted, a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain NFAJC from the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews, 70 FR 22632 (May 2, 2005) and Non–Frozen Concentrate Apple Juice from China, 70 FR 22694 (May 2, 2005). As a result of its review, the Department found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail were the order revoked. See Non–Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate from the People’s Republic of China (PRC); Notice of Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 53339 (September 8, 2005). On October 21, 2005, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain NFAJC would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Non–Frozen Concentrated Apple Juice from China, 70 FR 61309 (October 21, 2005). Scope of the Order Determination As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC that revocation of this antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping duty order on certain NFAJC from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of continuation of this order is the date of publication of the Federal Register of this Notice of Continuation in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4). Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next five-year review of this order not later than October 2010. We are issuing and publishing the results and notice in accordance with sections 751(c) and 752, and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: October 27, 2005. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

CBCC and Electrosilex filed a lawsuit challenging certain aspects of the Final Results. Specifically, CBCC argued that the Department used an incorrect interest rate to calculate its home market imputed credit expense, while Electrosilex asserted that the Department’s decision to apply total adverse facts available (AFA) was not in accordance with law and unsupported by record evidence. On April 15, 2004, the CIT remanded this case back to the Department and instructed it ’’...to impute anew (1) CBCC’s home–market credit costs and (2) Electrosilex’s margin of dumping for the period of review implicated that is in accordance with law and supported by substantial evidence on the record.’’ See Elkem Metals Company and Globe Metallurgical Inc., v.

Suspension of Liquidation The CAFC, in Timken, held that the Department must publish notice of a decision of the CIT or the CAFC which is not in harmony with the Department’s determination. Publication of this notice fulfills that obligation. The CAFC also held that the Department must suspend liquidation of the subject merchandise until there is a ‘‘conclusive’’ decision in the case. Therefore, pursuant to Timken, the Department must continue to suspend liquidation of unliquidated entries pending the expiration of the period to appeal the CIT’s October 6, 2005, decision affirming the Department’s remand results or pending a final decision of the CAFC if that VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 decision is appealed. Upon expiration of the period to appeal, or if the CIT’s decision is appealed and the CAFC’s decision is not in harmony with the Department’s determination in the Final Results, the Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of amended final results for the 1998–1999 administrative review of silicon metal from Brazil.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 23, 2001, the Department published the final results of 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicon metal 
from Brazil for the period July 1, 1998, through June 30, 1999. See 
Silicon Metal from Brazil; Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Determination Not to Revoke in Part; 66 FR 
11256 (February 23, 2001) (Final Results). CBCC and Electrosilex filed 
a lawsuit challenging certain aspects of the Final Results. 
Specifically, CBCC argued that the Department used an incorrect 
interest rate to calculate its home market imputed credit expense, 
while Electrosilex asserted that the Department's decision to apply 
total adverse facts available (AFA) was not in accordance with law and 
unsupported by record evidence. On April 15, 2004, the CIT remanded 
this case back to the Department and instructed it ''...to impute anew 
(1) CBCC's home-market credit costs and (2) Electrosilex's margin of 
dumping for the period of review implicated that is in accordance with 
law and supported by substantial evidence on the record.'' See Elkem 
Metals Company and Globe Metallurgical Inc., v. United States, Slip Op. 
04-36. The Department issued its final results of remand 
redetermination on July 14, 2004. See Remand Redetermination. On 
October 6, 2005, the CIT affirmed the Department's final results of 
remand redetermination in their entirety.

Suspension of Liquidation

    The CAFC, in Timken, held that the Department must publish notice 
of a decision of the CIT or the CAFC which is not in harmony with the 
Department's determination. Publication of this notice fulfills that 
obligation. The CAFC also held that the Department must suspend 
liquidation of the subject merchandise until there is a ``conclusive'' 
decision in the case. Therefore, pursuant to Timken, the Department 
must continue to suspend liquidation of unliquidated entries pending 
the expiration of the period to appeal the CIT's October 6, 2005, 
decision affirming the Department's remand results or pending a final 
decision of the CAFC if that decision is appealed. Upon expiration of 
the period to appeal, or if the CIT's decision is appealed and the 
CAFC's decision is not in harmony with the Department's determination 
in the Final Results, the Department will publish in the Federal 
Register a notice of amended final results for the 1998-1999 
administrative review of silicon metal from Brazil.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 516A(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: October 26, 2005.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
