Download as PDF bajohnson on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 17, 2006 / Notices with animals challenged with prions were not properly treated prior to discharge to the City wastewater plant. An expert panel was convened to review scientific information about deactivation of prions and assess practices used at NADC to treat liquid wastes from areas where animals with prions are housed and handled that enter the Ames wastewater treatment system. (Note: For the purposes of this panel and its review, prions are defined as specific proteins that are abnormally shaped and can cause transmissible diseases associated with the allegations). The panel had its first meeting on August 23, 2006, at the Ames City Hall, followed by preparatory work on August 23, August 24, and September 20. The conference call meeting on October 18, 2006, will continue implementation of the panel’s charge to evaluate four main issues related to the handling and disposal of potentially prion-contaminated materials in wastewater from the NADC: (1) Identify scientifically accepted methods for effectively destroying prions; (2) Assess the concerns raised regarding NADC’s current and past methods for the destruction of prions; (3) Determine the risk posed to humans and the environment from the current, as well as previous, methods for the destruction of prions utilized at NADC; and (4) If remediation is needed, provide scientifically sound approaches for corrective action(s) that may be taken. Final conclusions of the review will be developed during a meeting at a later date, also to be announced. At the conclusion of its review, the panel will prepare a written report that documents the panel’s findings for the four main issues being evaluated. The meeting on October 18 will be held by conference call. The public may monitor the panel’s discussion via a speaker phone in the Ames City Hall’s Council Chamber.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Scott or Robert James at (, AD/ CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; Telephone: (202) 482–2657 and (202) 482–0649, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: bajohnson on PROD1PC69 with NOTICES 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 04:06 Oct 18, 2006 Jkt 211001 received requests for review from four Argentine exporters included in the petitioners’ request, including ACA. 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 Administrative Review, 71 FR 18066 (April 10, 2006). On August, 4, 2006, petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review of respondent, Nexco S.A. On August 21, 2006 petitioners and respondent HoneyMax S.A. submitted letters withdrawing their requests for an administrative review of HoneyMax S.A. Accordingly, on September 6, 2006, the Department published a notice of partial rescission of review with regard to Nexco S.A. and HoneyMax S.A. See Honey from Argentina: Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 52526 (September 6, 2006) On September, 11, 2006, petitioners and ACA submitted letters withdrawing their requests for an administrative review of ACA. See letter from ACA entitled ‘‘Honey From Argentina Fourth Administrative Review: Partial Withdrawl of Review Request,’’ dated September 11, 2006. See also letter from petitioners entitled ‘‘Fourth Annual Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Honey from Argentina Partial Withdrawal of Review Request,’’ dated September 11, 2006. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the request. Although both petitioners and ACA withdrew their requests for review 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. Further, we find that neither petitioners’ nor ACA’s withdrawal constitutes an abuse of our procedures. 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 ACA 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 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). Dated: October 10, 2006. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. E6–17255 Filed 10–16–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM 17OCN1
