Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 8, 2006 / Notices
the Department may revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, in whole or in part, based on a
review under section 751(b) of the Act
(i.e., a changed–circumstances review).
Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a
changed–circumstances review to be
conducted upon receipt of a request
which shows changed circumstances
sufficient to warrant a review. Section
782(h)(2) of the Act gives the
Department the authority to revoke if
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product have expressed a lack of
interest in the continuation of relief.
Section 351.222(g) of the Department’s
regulations provides that the
Department will conduct a changed–
circumstances review and may revoke
an order (in whole or in part), if it
concludes that (i) producers accounting
for substantially all of the production of
the domestic like product to which the
order pertains have expressed a lack of
interest in the relief provided by the
order, in whole or in part, or (ii) other
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant revocation exist.
As stated in the Initiation Notice, the
petitioners and domestic interested
parties attested to their lack of interest
in having the merchandise to which
TRW refers as 21–2N modified valve/
stem stainless steel round bar, as fully
described above in the ‘‘Scope of the
Changed- Circumstances Review’’
section, continue to be subject to the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Japan. The Department received no
comments during the comment period
opposing the partial revocation of the
order with respect to 21–2N modified
valve/stem stainless steel round bar.
Therefore, the Department preliminarily
concludes that producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product to which this
order pertains lack interest in the relief
provided by this order with respect to
21–2N modified valve/stem stainless
steel round bar.
If these results become final, the
Department will revoke the order, in
part, for all unliquidated entries of the
product in question not covered by the
final results of an administrative review.
The most recent period for which the
Department has completed an
administrative review or ordered
automatic liquidation under 19 CFR
351.212(c) is February 1, 2005, through
January 31, 2006. Any prior entries are
subject either to final results of review
or automatic liquidation. Therefore, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate, without
regard to antidumping duties,
shipments of 21–2N modified valve/

Jkt 211001
stem stainless steel round bar from
Japan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
February 1, 2006. The Department will
also instruct CBP to end suspension of
liquidation for the product in question
and to release any cash deposits or
bonds pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(g)(4).
Moreover, the Department will instruct
CBP to pay interest on such refunds in
accordance with section 778 of the Act.
Public Comment
Interested parties wishing to comment
on these preliminary results may submit
briefs to the Department no later than 15
days after the publication of this notice
in the Federal Register. Parties will
have 7 days subsequent to this due date
to submit rebuttal comments, limited to
the issues raised in those briefs. Parties
who submit briefs or rebuttal comments
in this proceeding are requested to
submit with each argument (1) a
statement of the issue and (2) a brief
summary of the argument (no longer
than five pages, including footnotes).
Any requests for hearing must be filed
within 30 days of the publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
All written comments must be
submitted in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303. Any comments must also be
served on all interested parties on the
service list for this proceeding, which is
available on our Web site (https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/apo/). We will
issue our final results in this changed–
circumstances review as soon as
practicable following the above
comment period but not later than 270
days after the date on which we
initiated the changed–circumstances
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.216(e), and we will publish the
results in the Federal Register. While
the changed–circumstances review is
underway, the current requirement for a
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties on all subject merchandise,
including the merchandise that is the
subject of this changed—circumstances
review, will continue unless and until
this order is revoked, in part, pursuant
to the final results of this changed–
circumstances review or an
administrative review.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216
and 351.222.
Dated: November 2, 2006.

Pure Magnesium and Alloy Magnesium
from Canada: Final Results of 2004
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Partial Rescission of
Administrative Reviews
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 13, 2006, the
Department of Commerce published in
the Federal Register the preliminary
results of the administrative reviews of
the countervailing duty orders on pure
magnesium and alloy magnesium from
Canada for the period January 1, 2004,
through December 31, 2004. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the preliminary results.
Our analysis of the comments
received on the preliminary results did
not lead to any changes in the net
subsidy rates. Therefore, the final
results do not differ from the
preliminary results. The final net
subsidy rate for the reviewed company
are listed below in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of Reviews.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 8, 2006.

Case History
On July 13, 2006, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published the preliminary results of
these administrative reviews (see Pure
Magnesium and Alloy Magnesium From
Canada: Preliminary Results of
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Intent to Rescind, 71 FR
39667 (July 13, 2006) (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’). Norsk Hydro Canada, Inc.
(‘‘NHCI’’) submitted a case brief on
August 14, 2006. In its case brief, NHCI
agreed with the Department’s
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:09 Nov 07, 2006
Jkt 211001
Preliminary Results with respect to
NHCI. US Magnesium LLC (‘‘the
petitioner’’) did not file a case or
rebuttal brief.
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are shipments of pure and alloy
magnesium from Canada. Pure
magnesium contains at least 99.8
percent magnesium by weight and is
sold in various slab and ingot forms and
sizes. Magnesium alloys contain less
than 99.8 percent magnesium by weight
with magnesium being the largest
metallic element in the alloy by weight,
and are sold in various ingot and billet
forms and sizes.
The pure and alloy magnesium
subject to the orders is currently
classifiable under items 8104.11.0000
and 8104.19.0000, respectively, of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written descriptions of the merchandise
subject to the orders are dispositive.
Secondary and granular magnesium
are not included in the scope of these
orders. Our reasons for excluding
granular magnesium are summarized in
Preliminary Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value: Pure and Alloy
Magnesium From Canada, 57 FR 6094
(February 20, 1992).
Partial Rescission
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily rescinded
these reviews with respect to Magnola
Metallurgy Inc. (‘‘Magnola’’) pursuant to
19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). The Department
confirmed using data from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection that Magnola did
not ship subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. In
addition, we did not receive any
evidence from the petitioners that
Magnola shipped subject merchandise
to the United States during the POR.
Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding these
reviews with respect to Magnola.
Period of Reviews
The period for which we are
measuring subsidies, or POR, is January
1, 2004, through December 31, 2004.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the record
and comments received, we have made
no changes to the preliminary results
net subsidy rate.
Final Results of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we calculated an
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
individual subsidy rate for the
producer/exporter subject to these
reviews. For the period January 1, 2004,
through December 31, 2004, we find the
net subsidy rate for NHCI to be 0.51
percent. We are disclosing our
calculations to the interested parties in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Cash Deposit Instructions
On July 6, 2006, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department
revoked the countervailing duty orders
on pure magnesium and alloy
magnesium from Canada (see
Revocation of the Countervailing Duty
Orders: Pure Magnesium and Alloy
Magnesium from Canada, 71 FR 38382
(July 6, 2006)). The effective date of the
revocations is August 16, 2005. As a
result of this action, we are not issuing
cash deposit instructions.
However, were the Department to
issue cash deposit instructions, the
estimated net subsidy for future NHCI
imports would be zero because the
subsidy benefits were fully extinguished
during the POR. Consequently, no cash
deposits of estimated countervailing
duties would be required on shipments
of the subject merchandise from the
reviewed entity, entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of these reviews.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
§ 1516a(g)(5)(c)(i), the Department will
not order the liquidation of entries of
pure magnesium or alloy magnesium
from Canada exported by NHCI on or
after January 1, 2004, through December
31, 2004, pending final disposition of a
dispute settlement proceeding under
NAFTA (USA–CDA–00–1904–09
(panel)) with respect to Pure and Alloy
Magnesium From Canada; Final Results
of Full Sunset Review, 65 FR 41436 (July
5, 2000). Liquidation of NHCI entries
will occur at the rate described in these
final results of reviews, if appropriate,
following the final disposition of the
previously mentioned NAFTA dispute
settlement proceedings.
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 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.

Docket Number: 06-054. Applicant: Purdue University, 465
Northwestern Ave., West Laffayette, IN. Instrument: DFB, Fiber Laser
System. Manufacturer: Koheras A/S, Denmark. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to formulate a fundamental physical
description of the noise processes of optical frequency combs and their
application to Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generation by generating an
ultrastable (ultra-low linewidth) optical frequency via intensity and
phase modulation of this ultra-low linewidth CW laser, sweeping its
carrier frequency and beating it with a ``conventional'' mode-locked,
laser-based optical frequency comb. Optical frequency comb line-by-line
pulse shaping with RF and ultra-fast optical detection and analysis
will be employed. Application accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
September 1, 2006.

Docket Number: 06-058. Applicant: University of Illinois at
Chicago, Department of Physics m/c 273, 845 West Taylor Street,
Chicago, IL 60607-7059. Instrument: Magnesium Fluoride Windows.
Manufacturer: Laser-Laboratorium, Gottingen, Germany. Intended Use: The
article is a compatible accessory to reduce glare and improve the beam
quality associated with an excimer laser system made by the same
manufacturer and used to study nonlinear optical phenomena and x-ray
amplification in gases, solids, atomic clusters and plasmas. Measured
quantities of x-rays and their spectral properties will be examined for
an understanding of new physics associated with coherent x-ray
production which will serve as a preamplifier in an ultraviolet laser
system. Application accepted by
