Investigations: Certain Lined Paper
Products from India, Indonesia and the

(October 6, 2005). The notice of
initiation stated that we would make
our preliminary determinations for
these antidumping duty investigations
no later than 140 days after the date of
issuance of the initiation. On February
10, 2006, the Department postponed the
preliminary determinations by 30 days
to March 18, 2006. See Notice of
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination of Antidumping Duty
Investigation: Certain Lined Paper
Products from the People’s Republic of
China, India, and Indonesia, 71 FR 7015
(February 10, 2006). On February 21,
2006, the Association of American
School Paper Suppliers, and its
individual members (‘‘Petitioner’’),
made timely requests pursuant to 19
CFR §351.205(e) for an additional 20day postponement of the preliminary
determinations with respect to the
antidumping duty investigations
covering certain lined paper products
(‘‘CLPP’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) and India. Petitioner
requested postponement of the
preliminary determinations because it
will provide the Department additional
time to review submitted questionnaire
responses which Petitioner claims
contain substantial deficiencies.
Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), if Petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement of the
preliminary determination, the
Department may postpone the
preliminary determination under
subsection (b)(1) until no later than the
190th day after the initiation of the
investigation.
Therefore, for reasons identified by
Petitioner, we are postponing the
preliminary determinations with respect
to the antidumping duty investigations
of CLPP from the PRC and India under
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act by an
additional 20 days to April 7, 2006.
Pursuant to section 735(a) of the Act,
the deadline for the final determinations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
or if extended, up to 135 days after the
date of publication of the preliminary
determinations in the Federal Register.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Postponement of Final Determination
The Department of Commerce (the
Department) is postponing the final
determination in the antidumping duty
investigation of metal calendar slides
from Japan.
On July 26, 2005, the Department
published the initiation of the
antidumping duty investigation on
imports of metal calendar slides from
Japan. See Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Investigation: Metal Calendar
Slides from Japan, 70 FR 43122 (July 26,
2005). On February 1, 2006, the
Department published its affirmative
preliminary determination in this
investigation. See Notice of Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Metal Calendar Slides from
Japan, 71 FR 5244 (February 1, 2006).
This notice stated that the Department
would issue its final determination no
later than 75 days after the date on
which the Department issued its
preliminary determination.
Section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii) provide that a final
determination may be postponed until
no later than 135 days after the date of
the publication of the preliminary
determination if, in the event of an
affirmative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by exporters who account for a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise. Additionally, the
Department’s regulations, at 19 CFR
351.210(e)(2)(ii), require that requests by
a respondent for postponement of a final
determination be accompanied by a
request for an extension of the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to not more than six months.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the briefs and
rebuttal briefs filed by parties to this
administrative review are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
A list of the issues addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum is
appended to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
After reviewing the Preliminary
Results, we have made two changes to
SeAH’s calculations that have impacted
the margin. We included an updated
cost of production database to include
sales to Canada. We also converted the
comparison–market revenue value used
to calculate Constructed Export Price
profit from U.S. Dollars to Korean Won.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine that the following weighted–
average margins exist for the period
August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004:
Manufacturer/Exporter
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Act, we verified the information
submitted by SeAH and Husteel for use
in our final results. We used standard
verification procedures, including on–
site examination of relevant accounting
and production records and original
source documents provided by both
companies. Our verification results are
outlined in the Memorandum to

Gilgunn from Scott Lindsay, Nicholas

Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department
calculates an assessment rate for each
importer of the subject merchandise for
each respondent. Upon issuance of the
final results of this administrative
review, if any importer–specific
assessment rates calculated in the final
results are above de minimis (i.e., at or
above 0.5 percent), the Department will
issue appraisement instructions directly
to CBP to assess antidumping duties on
appropriate entries.
To determine whether the duty
assessment rates covering the period
were de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we
calculated importer (or customer)specific ad valorem rates by aggregating
the dumping margins calculated for all
U.S. sales to that importer or customer
and dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to that
importer (or customer). Where an
importer (or customer)-specific ad
valorem rate is greater than de minimis,
and the respondent has reported reliable
entered values, we apply the assessment
rate to the entered value of the
E:\FR\FM\14MRN1.SGM
14MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 14, 2006 / Notices
importer’s/customer’s entries during the
review period. Where an importer (or
customer)- specific ad valorem rate is
greater than de minimis and we do not
have reliable entered values, we
calculate a per–unit assessment rate by
aggregating the dumping duties due for
all U.S. sales to each importer (or
customer) and dividing this amount by
the total quantity sold to that importer
(or customer). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following antidumping duty
deposit rates will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of OCTG from Korea entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results, as provided for
by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for
Husteel and SeAH, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the final
results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
be the company–specific rate
established for the most recent period;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the
less–than-fair–value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered by this review, a prior review,
or the LTFV investigation, the cash
deposit rate shall be the all others rate
established in the LTFV investigation,
which is 12.17 percent. See Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Oil Country Tubular Goods
from Korea, 60 FR 33561 (June 28,
1995). These deposit rates, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
publication of the final results of the
next administrative review.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 doubled antidumping
duties.

Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we verified the
information submitted by SeAH and Husteel for use in our final results.
We used standard verification procedures, including on-site examination
of relevant accounting and production records and original source
documents provided by both companies. Our verification results are
outlined in the Memorandum to Barbara E. Tillman through Thomas Gilgunn
from Scott Lindsay, Nicholas Czajkowski, and Toni Page: Verification of
Costs and Sales for Husteel Co., Ltd. in the Administrative Review of
Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea (December
28, 2005); Memorandum to Barbara E. Tillman through Thomas Gilgunn from

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the briefs and rebuttal briefs filed by
parties to this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of
the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is appended
to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
After reviewing the Preliminary Results, we have made two changes
to SeAH's calculations that have impacted the margin. We included an
updated cost of production database to include sales to Canada. We also
converted the comparison-market revenue value used to calculate
Constructed Export Price profit from U.S. Dollars to Korean Won.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine that the following
weighted-average margins exist for the period August 1, 2003, through
July 31, 2004:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer/Exporter Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SeAH Steel Corporation.............................. 6.84%
Husteel Co., Ltd.................................... 12.30%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department calculates an
assessment rate for each importer of the subject merchandise for each
respondent. Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative
review, if any importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the
final results are above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), the
Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to CBP to
assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries.
To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we calculated importer (or
customer)- specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing
this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer
(or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate
is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable
entered values, we apply the assessment rate to the entered value of
the
[[Page 13093]]
importer's/customer's entries during the review period. Where an
importer (or customer)- specific ad valorem rate is greater than de
minimis and we do not have reliable entered values, we calculate a per-
unit assessment rate by aggregating the dumping duties due for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the
total quantity sold to that importer (or customer). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following antidumping duty deposit rates will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of OCTG from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, as
provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for Husteel and SeAH,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results
of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies
not listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific
rate established for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered by this review, a prior
review, or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate shall be the
all others rate established in the LTFV investigation, which is 12.17
percent. See Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Oil
Country Tubular Goods from Korea, 60 FR 33561 (June 28, 1995). These
deposit rates, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication
of the final results of the next administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). Timely written
notification of the 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.
This administrative review and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 7, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
