See Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel
Plate from Romania: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Partial
Rescission, 70 FR 53333 (September 8,
2005) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). In the
Preliminary Results we stated that we
would make our final determination for
the antidumping duty review no later
than 120 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary results
(i.e., January 6, 2006).
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
The Department is extending the time
limit for the final results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on cut–tolength plate from Romania. This review
covers the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), states
that if it is not practicable to complete
the review within the time specified, the
administering authority may extend the
120-day period, following the date of
publication of the preliminary results, to
issue its final results by an additional 60
days. Due to the complexity of issues
raised in this review segment, including
the respondent’s notification of
unreported sales following the
Department’s preliminary results, and
the respondent’s withdrawal of its
business proprietary versions of all
information submitted on the record of
this review, the completion of the final
results within the 120-day period is not
practicable.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time period for issuing
the final results of review by an
additional 31 days until no later than
February 6, 2006.

not export fresh garlic to the United
States during the period of investigation
(‘‘POI’’). In addition, Lufang and
Taifeng, producers of the subject

respectively, provided certifications that
they did not export the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POI, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B). Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), all companies
discussed above certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, they have
never been affiliated with any exporter
or grower who exported fresh garlic to
the United States during the POI,
including those not individually
examined during the investigation. As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
these companies also certified that their
export activities are not controlled by
the central government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, each exporter
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) the date on which it
first shipped fresh garlic for export to

withdrawn from warehouse, for

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the

both grown and exported by Qingdao

the Act.
With respect to Qingdao Camel and
Qingdao Saturn, they have certified that
they exported, but did not grow, the

review. Therefore, until completion of
these new shipper reviews, we will

the importer, the posting of a bond or
security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of subject merchandise (1) grown
by Lufeng and exported by Qingdao
Camel, or (2) grown by Taifeng and
exported by Qingdao Saturn. Interested
parties that need access to proprietary
information in this new shipper review
should submit applications for

Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests by
interested parties, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) is
conducting an administrative review of
the antidumping order on honey from
Argentina. The review covers six firms.
The period of review (POR) is December
1, 2003, through November 30, 2004.
We preliminarily determine that sales
of honey from Argentina have been
made below the normal value (NV) in
the case of Asociacion de Cooperativas
Argentinas (ACA). For Seylinco S.A.
(Seylinco), we preliminary find a zero
margin. In addition, we have
preliminarily determined to rescind the
review with respect to Nutrin S.A.
(Nutrin), Radix S.A. (Radix), Compania
Europea Americana S.A. (CEASA), and
HoneyMax S.A. (HoneyMax) because
they had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of review. If these
preliminary results are adopted in our
final results of administrative review,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties based on the
difference between the export price (EP)
and NV. Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Parties who submit argument in these
proceedings are requested to submit
with the argument: 1) a statement of the
issues, 2) a brief summary of the
argument, and 3) a table of authorities.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 28, 2005.
