Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 20, 2005 / Notices
received no submission from Gao, I,
following consultations with the Export
Enforcement, including the Director,
Office of Export Enforcement, have
decided to deny Gao’s export privileges
under the Regulations for a period of 10
years from the date of Gao’s conviction.
B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related
Persons
In addition, pursuant to Sections
766.25(h) and 766.23 of the Regulations,
the Director, Office of Exporter Services,
in consultation with the Director, Office
of Export Enforcement, may take action
to name persons related to the
Respondent by ownership, control,
position of responsibility, affiliation, or
other connection in the conduct of trade
or business in order to prevent evasion
of the Order. On March 18, 2005, I gave
notice to Technology Business Services,
University Laboratories, Allways, Inc.
and Donghua Xue, Gao’s husband,
notifying them that their export
privileges under the Regulations could
be denied for up to 10 years as BIS
believed these entities were related to
Gao and including them in the Gao
Order was necessary to prevent evasion.
The basis for considering the addition of
these entities was the fact that Gao had
used these entities to conduct the illegal
business that was subject of the criminal
conviction and all are operated out of
her home in Virginia.
Donghue Xue responded to the
notification and did not raise any
objections to naming the above
referenced related persons. I have
therefore decided to name Technology
Business Services, University
Laboratories, Allways, Inc. and Donghua
Xue as related persons to Zhan Gao,
thereby denying their export privileges
as well.
I have also decided to revoke all
licenses issued pursuant to the Act or
Regulations in which Gao and
Technology Business Services,
University Laboratories, Allways, Inc.
and Donghua Xue had an interest at the
time of Gao’s conviction. The 10-year
denial period ends on March 5, 2014.
Accordingly, it is hereby
Ordered
I. Until March 5, 2014, Zhan Gao,
12731 Mill Heights, Herndon, VA
20171, and when acting for or on her
behalf, her employees, agents or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On May 27, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on brake rotors
from the People’s Republic of China.
The review was initiated for 27
individually named firms. The period of
review (POR) is April 1, 2004, through
March 31, 2005. See Notice of Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 66 FR
30694 (May 27, 2005). Of the 27 named
firms for which the Department initiated
an administrative review, 18 firms had
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR that are subject to
review. Two of the 18 firms are also
participating in the proceeding as new
shippers. After consulting with the two
new shippers, they agreed to have the
Department rescind their administrative
reviews in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(j). See Memorandum to the File
from Carrie Blozy Regarding the 8th
Administrative Review of Brake Rotors
from the People’s Republic of China,
dated July 28, 2005. As a result, this
administrative review will cover 16
firms.
However, due to the large number of
firms subject to this administrative
review, and the Department’s
experience regarding the resulting
administrative burden to review each
company for which a request has been
made, the Department exercised its
authority to limit the number of
respondents selected for individual
review by sampling, and conducted the
sampling on November 16, 2005. See
Section 777A(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’); see also
November 16, 2005, Memorandum to
the File from Erin Begnal, Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review: Brake
Rotors from the People’s Republic of
China (November 16, 2005, Sampling
Memorandum).
The following respondents were
selected for individual review pursuant
to the sampling procedure: Qingdao
Meita Automotive Industry Co., Ltd.,
Yantai Winhere Auto–Part
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Xiangfen
Hengtai Brake Systems Co., Ltd., Hongfa
Machinery (Dalian) Group Co., Ltd., and

19:23 Dec 19, 2005
Jkt 208001
Longkou Haimeng Machinery Co., Ltd.
See November 16, 2005, Sampling
Memorandum.
The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due
by December 31, 2005.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act, the Department shall issue
preliminary results in an administrative
review of an antidumping duty order
within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of the date of
publication of the order for which a
review is requested and the final results
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
specified time periods, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend these deadlines to
a maximum of 365 days and 180 days,
respectively.
The Department has determined that
completion of the preliminary results
within the originally anticipated time
limit, December 31, 2005, is
impracticable. For the first time in this
proceeding, the Department employed a
sampling methodology to select
respondents. In order to obtain
necessary information and to afford
parties opportunities to comment on the
Department’s respondent selection
methodology, the Department did not
conduct its respondent selection
sampling procedure until November 16,
2005. See section 777A(b) of the Act
(where the Department determines to
limit the selection of respondents by
sampling, the Department ‘‘shall, to the
greatest extent possible, consult with
the exporters and producers regarding
the method to be used to select
exporters, producers or types of
products’’). The Department requires
additional time to analyze the parties’
responses to the questionnaires issued
on November 16, 2005, as well as to
issue any necessary supplemental
questionnaires and to conduct
verifications. Consequently, it is not
practicable to complete the review
within the time specified under the Act.
Therefore, the Department is extending
the time limit for completion of these
preliminary results by 120 days to April
30, 2006, in accordance with Section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Additionally, on April 29, 2005,
Shanxi Zhongding Auto Parts Co., Ltd.
agreed to waive the time limits of its
new shipper review, on April 29, 2005,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), and
agreed to have its review conducted
concurrently with the eighth

administrative review of this order for
the period April 1, 2004, through March
31, 2005. Therefore, the preliminary
results of this new shipper review will
also be extended by 120 days to April
30, 2006. The deadline for the final
results of these reviews continues to be
120 days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 27, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
brake rotors from the People's Republic of China. The review was
initiated for 27 individually named firms. The period of review (POR)
is April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. See Notice of Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request
for Revocation in Part, 66 FR 30694 (May 27, 2005). Of the 27 named
firms for which the Department initiated an administrative review, 18
firms had shipments of subject merchandise during the POR that are
subject to review. Two of the 18 firms are also participating in the
proceeding as new shippers. After consulting with the two new shippers,
they agreed to have the Department rescind their administrative reviews
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(j). See Memorandum to the File from
Carrie Blozy Regarding the 8th Administrative Review of Brake Rotors
from the People's Republic of China, dated July 28, 2005. As a result,
this administrative review will cover 16 firms.
However, due to the large number of firms subject to this
administrative review, and the Department's experience regarding the
resulting administrative burden to review each company for which a
request has been made, the Department exercised its authority to limit
the number of respondents selected for individual review by sampling,
and conducted the sampling on November 16, 2005. See Section 777A(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''); see also November 16,
2005, Memorandum to the File from Erin Begnal, Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review: Brake Rotors from the People's Republic of China
(November 16, 2005, Sampling Memorandum).
The following respondents were selected for individual review
pursuant to the sampling procedure: Qingdao Meita Automotive Industry
Co., Ltd., Yantai Winhere Auto-Part Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Xiangfen
Hengtai Brake Systems Co., Ltd., Hongfa Machinery (Dalian) Group Co.,
Ltd., and Longkou Haimeng Machinery Co., Ltd. See November 16, 2005,
Sampling Memorandum.
The preliminary results of this administrative review are currently
due by December 31, 2005.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department shall
issue preliminary results in an administrative review of an antidumping
duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month
of the date of publication of the order for which a review is requested
and the final results within 120 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within the specified time periods, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.
The Department has determined that completion of the preliminary
results within the originally anticipated time limit, December 31,
2005, is impracticable. For the first time in this proceeding, the
Department employed a sampling methodology to select respondents. In
order to obtain necessary information and to afford parties

Department requires additional time to analyze the parties' responses
to the questionnaires issued on November 16, 2005, as well as to issue
any necessary supplemental questionnaires and to conduct verifications.
Consequently, it is not practicable to complete the review within the
time specified under the Act. Therefore, the Department is extending
the time limit for completion of these preliminary results by 120 days
to April 30, 2006, in accordance with Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Additionally, on April 29, 2005, Shanxi Zhongding Auto Parts Co.,
Ltd. agreed to waive the time limits of its new shipper review, on
April 29, 2005, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), and agreed to have
its review conducted concurrently with the eighth administrative review
of this order for the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005.
Therefore, the preliminary results of this new shipper review will also
be extended by 120 days to April 30, 2006. The deadline for the final
results of these reviews continues to be 120 days after the publication
of the preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
