SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND:
On December 1, 2004, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
notice of an opportunity to request a
review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from Argentina. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review, 70 FR 72109
(December 1, 2005). In response, on
December 30, 2005, the American
Honey Producers Association and the
Sioux Honey Association (collectively,
petitioners) requested an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from Argentina for the period
December 1, 2004, through November
30, 2005. The petitioners requested that
the Department conduct an
administrative review of entries of
subject merchandise made by 42
Argentine producers/exporters. In
addition, the Department received
requests for review from four Argentine
exporters included in the petitioners’
request. On January 6, 2006, petitioners
withdrew their request with respect to
23 companies listed in its original
request.
On February 1, 2006, the Department
initiated a review on the remaining 19
companies for which an administrative
review was requested. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 71 FR 5241
(February 1, 2006).
On March 10, 2006, petitioners
submitted timely withdrawal of requests
for review of the following companies:

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is honey from Argentina. The products
covered are natural honey, artificial
honey containing more than 50 percent
natural honey by weight, preparations of
natural honey containing more than 50
percent natural honey by weight, and
flavored honey. The subject
merchandise includes all grades and
colors of honey whether in liquid,
creamed, comb, cut comb, or chunk
form, and whether packaged for retail or

The merchandise under the scope of
the order is currently classifiable under
subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90.90,
and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise under this order is
dispositive.
Rescission in Part, of Administrative
Review:
The applicable regulation, 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), states that if a party that
requested an administrative review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, the
Secretary will rescind the review in
whole or in part. The petitioners made
a timely withdrawal of their requests for
an administrative review within the 90day deadline, for the following
companies: Agroin Las Piedras Ltda.,

S.A., J.L. S.A., Naiman S.A., Nutrin
S.A., Pueblanueva S.A.-Miel Emilia,
Radix S.r.L., and Ultramar Argentina
S.A. Because the petitioners were the
only party to request the administrative
review of these companies, we have
accepted the withdrawal requests and
we are rescinding this administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from Argentina covering the
period December 1, 2004, through
November 30, 2005 for the
aforementioned companies.
The Department will issue

importers of their responsibility under
section 351.402(f) of the Department’s
regulations to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping

occurred and subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties. This notice
also 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 section

protective order is hereby requested.

Republic of China: Extension of Time
Limit for the Preliminary Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 2188 (January 13, 2006).
Background
On May 2, 2005, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from the PRC for the period
May 1, 2004, through April 30, 2005.

International, LTD (‘‘TMI’’) requested
that the Department conduct a new
shipper review and an administration
review of the antidumping duty order
covering pure magnesium from the PRC
for entries of subject merchandise
produced and exported by TMI. On June

that TMI did not meet the requirements
under which the Department can
initiate a new shipper review. See Letter

(June 28, 2005). On June 30, 2005, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of the

Sfmt 4703
Period of Review
The POR is May 1, 2004, through
April 30, 2005.
Merchandise covered by this order is
pure magnesium regardless of
chemistry, form or size, unless expressly
excluded from the scope of this order.
Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy
containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium and produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Pure primary
magnesium is used primarily as a
chemical in the aluminum alloying,
desulfurization, and chemical reduction
industries. In addition, pure magnesium
is used as an input in producing
magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium
encompasses products (including, but
not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns
and crystals) with the following primary
magnesium contents:
(1) Products that contain at least
99.95% primary magnesium, by weight
(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’
magnesium);
(2) Products that contain less than
99.95% but not less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight (generally
referred to as ‘‘pure’’ magnesium); and
(3) Products that contain 50% or
greater, but less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight, and that do not
conform to ASTM specifications for
alloy magnesium (generally referred to
as ‘‘off–specification pure’’ magnesium).
‘‘Off–specification pure’’ magnesium
is pure primary magnesium containing
magnesium scrap, secondary
magnesium, oxidized magnesium or
impurities (whether or not intentionally
added) that cause the primary
magnesium content to fall below 99.8%
by weight. It generally does not contain,
individually or in combination, 1.5% or
more, by weight, of the following
alloying elements: aluminum,
