Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 7, 2006 / Notices
presented by BIS demonstrated that the
Respondents conspired to do acts that
violated the EAR and did in fact commit
numerous violations of the EAR by
participating in the unlicensed export of
triggered spark gaps and oscilloscopes,
items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons, to Pakistan.
Acting Assistant Secretary Wysong
further found that such violations had
been significant, deliberate and covert,
and were likely to occur again,
especially given the nature of the
structure and relationships of the
Respondents.
On August 1, 2005, Acting Assistant
Secretary Wysong was presented
additional evidence that Khan has been
indicted for his role in the illegal
exports of triggered spark gaps and
oscilloscopes to Pakistan. In addition,
OEE presented evidence that Khan and
Pakland have refused to return to the
United States an oscilloscope that was
sent to Pakistan for demonstration
purposes only. Acting Assistant
Secretary Wysong again found that such
violations had been significant,
deliberate and covert, and were likely to
occur again, especially given the nature
of the structure and relationships of the
Respondents.
OEE has not provided any additional
evidence regarding Khan or Pakland in
this renewal, however, because the
previously identified violations were
significant, deliberate, covert, and likely
to occur again, and because of the
serious nature of the items which Khan
and Pakland diverted and attempted to
divert to Pakistan, I find that it is
necessary in the public interest to
prevent an imminent violation of the
EAA and the EAR that Khan and
Pakland’s export privileges be denied
for a period of 180 days from the date
of the expiration of the previous denial
of Khan and Pakland’s export privileges.
All parties to this TDO have been given
notice of the request for renewal.
It is therefore ordered:
First, that the Respondents, Pakland
PME Corporation, (‘‘Pakland’’), Unit
7&8, 2nd Floor, Mohammadi Plaza,
Jinnah Avenue, Blue Area, F–6/4,
Islamabad-44000, Pakistan and,
Humayun Khan, (‘‘Khan’’), Unit 7&8,
2nd Floor, Mohammadi Plaza, Jinnah
Avenue, Blue Area, F–6/4, Islamabad44000, Pakistan (hereinafter collectively
referred to as ‘‘Respondents’’), and their
successors and assigns and when acting
on behalf of any of the Respondents,
their officers, employees, agents or
representatives, (‘‘Denied Persons’’) may
not, directly or indirectly, participate in
any way in any transaction involving
any commodity, software or technology
(hereinafter collectively referred to as

‘‘item’’) exported or to be exported from
the United States that is subject to the

(‘‘EAR’’), or in any other activity subject

A. Applying for, obtaining, or using
any license, License Exception, or

B. Carrying on negotiations
concerning, or ordering, buying,

activity subject to the EAR; or
C. Benefitting in any way from any
transaction involving any item exported
or to be exported from the United States
that is subject to the EAR, or in any
other activity subject to the EAR.
Second, that no person may, directly
or indirectly, do any of the following:
A. Export or reexport to or on behalf
of the Denied Person any item subject to
the EAR;
B. Take any action that facilitates the
acquisition or attempted acquisition by
the Denied Person of the ownership,
possession, or control of any item
subject to the EAR that has been or will
be exported from the United States,
including financing or other support
activities related to a transaction
whereby the Denied Person acquires or
attempts to acquire such ownership,
possession or control;
C. Take any action to acquire from or
to facilitate the acquisition or attempted
acquisition from the Denied Person of
any item subject to the EAR that has
been exported from the United States;
D. Obtain from the Denied Person in
the United States any item subject to the
EAR with knowledge or reason to know
that the item will be, or is intended to
be, exported from the United States; or
E. Engage in any transaction to service
any item subject to the EAR that has
been or will be exported from the
United States and which is owned,
possessed or controlled by the Denied
Person, or service any item, of whatever
origin, that is owned, possessed or
controlled by the Denied Person if such
service involves the use of any item
subject to the EAR that has been or will
be exported from the United States. For
purposes of this paragraph, servicing
means installation, maintenance, repair,
modification or testing.
Third, that after notice and
opportunity for comment as provided in
section 766.23 of the EAR, any other
person, firm, corporation, or business
organization related to any of the
Respondents by affiliation, ownership,

control, or position of responsibility in
the conduct of trade or related services
may also be made subject to the
provisions of this Order.
Fourth, that this Order does not
prohibit any export, reexport, or other
transaction subject to the EAR where the
only items involved that are subject to
the EAR are the foreign-produced direct
product of U.S.-origin technology.
In accordance with the provisions of
Section 766.24(e) of the EAR, the
Respondents may, at any time, appeal
this Order by filing a full written
statement in support of the appeal with
the Office of the Administrative Law
Judge, U.S. Coast Guard ALJ Docketing
Center, 40 South Gay Street, Baltimore,
Maryland 21202–4022.
In accordance with the provisions of
Section 766.24(d) of the EAR, BIS may
seek renewal of this Order by filing a
written request not later than 20 days
before the expiration date. The
Respondents may oppose a request to
renew this Order by filing a written
submission with the Assistant Secretary
for Export Enforcement, which must be
received not later than seven days
before the expiration date of the Order.
A copy of this Order shall be served
on the Respondents and the Related
Party, and shall be published in the
Federal Register.
This Order is effective on February 3,
2006 and shall remain in effect for 180
days.
Entered this 31st day of January, 2006.

Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire
Rod from Ukraine: Notice of
Rescission of Antidumping
Administrative Review
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from
JSC Kryvorizhstal, a Ukrainian producer
of carbon and certain alloy steel wire
rod, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on carbon and certain alloy steel wire
rod from Ukraine. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Deferral of
Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 72107
(December 1, 2005) (Initiation Notice).
The period of review (POR) covers
October 1, 2004, through September 30,
2005. We are now rescinding this
review because the respondent has
withdrawn its request within 90 days of
the initiation and is the only party to
have requested the review. The
respondent indicated that it is
withdrawing its request because it
realized, in preparing a response to the
Department’s questionnaire, that it did
not have any reviewable U.S.
transactions during the POR.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 2006.

Fullerton or Christopher Riker, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 9, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

and (202) 482–3441, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
The Department published an
antidumping order on carbon and
certain alloy steel wire rod from Ukraine
on October 29, 2002. See Notice of
Antidumping Duty Orders: Carbon and
Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from
Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova,
Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine, 67
FR 65945 (October 29, 2002). On
October 3, 2005 the Department
published a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to
Request Administrative Review’’ of the
antidumping duty order for the period
of October 1, 2004 through September
30, 2005. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or

to Request Administrative Review, 70
FR 57558 (October 3, 2005). In
accordance with 19 C.F.R. 351.213(b)(1),
on October 28, 2005, respondent, JSC
Kryvorizhstal, requested an
administrative review of this order. In
response to this request, the Department
published the initiation of the
antidumping duty administrative review
on carbon and certain alloy steel wire
rod from Ukraine on December 1, 2005.
See Initiation Notice.
On December 12, 2005, we issued an
antidumping questionnaire to JSC
Kryvorizhstal to which we did not
receive a response. However, on January
10, 2006, JSC Kryvorizhstal notified the
Department that it did not have any
reviewable U.S. transactions during the
POR, and requested that this review be
suspended or terminated.
See ‘‘Letter from JSC Kryvorizhstal re:
Request for Suspension or Termination
of Review’’ (January 10, 2006). If by
requesting a ‘‘suspension,’’ JSC
Kryvorizhstal meant to request a
‘‘deferral,’’ pursuant to section
351.213(c) of the Department’s
regulations, we note that a deferral is
not appropriate here, as a deferral may
only be requested prior to initiation of
a review. As this review has already
been initiated, we cannot defer the
review. We address JSC Kryvorizhstal’s
alternative request for a ‘‘termination,’’
below.
Rescission of the Administrative
Review
The Department’s regulations at
section 351.213(d)(1) provide that it will
rescind an administrative review if the
party that requested the review
withdraws its request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws its request at a later date, if
the Department determines that it is
reasonable to extend the time limit for
withdrawing the request. The
respondent was the only party to
request this review and properly
withdrew its request, by requesting
termination of the review, within the
90–day period. Accordingly, we are
rescinding this administrative review.
The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions to
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
within 15 days of publication of this
notice. This notice 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 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
