preliminary results were published. The
Act provides further that, if the
Department determines that it is not
practicable to complete the review
within this time period, the Department
may extend the 120–day period to 180
days.
Due to the complexity of the level of
trade issue in this review, the
Department needs additional time to
conduct its analysis. Therefore, we are
extending the deadline for issuing the
final results of this review by an
additional 45 days until October 23,
2006, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Background
On November 1, 2005, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published a notice of opportunity to
request administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on, inter alia,
Honey from Argentina. See Notice of
Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 70 FR 65883 (November 1,
2005). On December 27, 28, and 30,
2005, the Department received timely
requests to conduct an administrative
review of honey from Argentina. On
February 1, 2006, the Department
published a notice of initiation of an
antidumping duty review for the
December 1, 2004, through November
30, 2005 period of review. See Initiation
of Antidumping Duty Reviews, 71 FR
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:44 Sep 05, 2006
Jkt 208001
5241 (February 1, 2006). The
preliminary results for this
administrative review are currently due
no later than September 5, 2006.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act),
requires the Department to complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within these time periods,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary results to
a maximum of 365 days after the last
day of the anniversary month of an
order for which a review is requested.
The Department has determined it is
not practicable to complete this review
within the statutory time limit because
we require additional time to conduct a
sales–below-cost investigation in this
administrative review. The time needed
to analyze the respondents’ cost of
production data and to develop fully the
record in this review makes it
impracticable to complete the
preliminary results of this review within
the originally anticipated time limit.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results of this
administrative review until no later than
December 20, 2006, which is 354 days
from the last day of the anniversary
month of the order on honey from
Argentina. We intend to issue the final
results no later than 120 days after
publication of the preliminary results
notice.
This extension is in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.
Dated: August 29, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 1, 2005, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative 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 their
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
withdrew their requests for review of an
additional twelve respondents.
Accordingly, on April 10, 2006, the
Department published a notice of partial
rescission of review in response to
petitioners’ withdrawal of their requests
covering twelve companies. See Honey
from Argentina: Notice of Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty

On August, 4, 2006, petitioners

HoneyMax S.A. submitted letters
withdrawing their requests for an

Rescission of Review
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations provides that
the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the
Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing
the request. Although petitioners
withdrew their request with regard to
Nexco S.A. after the 90-day deadline,
the Department finds it reasonable to
extend the withdrawal deadline because
the Department has not yet devoted
significant time or resources to this
review, and petitioners were the only
party to request a review. Further, we
find petitioners’ withdrawal does not
constitute an abuse of our procedures.
Similarly, although both petitioners and
HoneyMax S.A. withdrew their requests
with regard to HoneyMax S.A. after the
90-day deadline, the Department finds it
reasonable to extend the withdrawal
deadline because the Department has
not yet devoted any significant time and
resources to this review. See, e.g.,
Persulfates from the People’s Republic
of China: Notice of Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 13810 (March 17, 2006).
The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) within 15 days of the
publication of this notice. The
Department will direct CBP to assess
antidumping duties for Nexco S.A. and
HoneyMax S.A. at the cash deposit rates
in effect on the date of entry for entries
during the period December 1, 2004, to
November 30, 2005.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under section 351.402(f) of the
Department’s regulations 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 assumption that
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:44 Sep 05, 2006
Jkt 208001
reimbursement of antidumping duties
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 351.305(a)(3) of the
Department’s regulations. 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is in accordance with
section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

provided to show organizers includes
worldwide overseas promotion of
selected shows to potential international
buyers, end-users, representatives and

to be undertaken by the show organizer.
Anyone requesting application
information will be sent a sample copy
of the MOA along with the application
and a copy of this Federal Register
Notice. The responsibilities to be
undertaken by DOC will be carried out
by the Commercial Service, the lead
agency for this program.
DATES: Applications must be received
by 5 p.m. local time November 6, 2006.
To avoid delays, applications should be
