Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 2006 / Notices
Foundry Coke from the PRC pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act. See Sunset
Initiation. The Department received
notices of intent to participate from the
following domestic parties within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i): ABC Coke, Citizens Gas
& Coke Utility, Erie Coke, Sloss
Industries Corporation, and Tonawanda
Coke Corporation (collectively,
‘‘Petitioners’’). These parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b), as domestic manufacturers
and producers of the domestic like
product. The Department received a
substantive response from Petitioners
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The
Department did not receive a
substantive response from any of the
respondent interested parties. As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted an expedited sunset review
of the Order.
Scope Of The Order
The product covered under the
antidumping duty order is coke larger
than 100 mm (4 inches) in maximum
diameter and at least 50 percent of
which is retained on a 100–mm (4 inch)
sieve, of a kind used in foundries.
The foundry coke products subject to
the antidumping duty order were
classifiable under subheading
2704.00.00.10 (as of Jan 1, 2000) and are
currently classifiable under subheading
2704.00.00.11 (as of July 1, 2000) of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and Customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Additionally, the Department has
issued one conclusive scope ruling
regarding the merchandise covered by
the Order. On February 18, 2003, the
Department found that the particular
foundry coke as defined by Shanxi and
imported by Shook Group LLC and
Dajin U.S. Trading, Inc.1, is within the
scope of the Order. See Notice of Scope
Rulings and Anticircumvention

1 Shook and Dajin did not challenge that above
100 mm coke should be considered foundry coke.
Rather, Shook and Dajin challenged the application
of an industry standard test, and whether the 50
percent condition of the test applied to the entire
shipment or a portion of the shipment which was
sold as being over 100 mm. We found that this issue
was clearly addressed in the investigation at the
Final Determination, wherein it was determined
that the 50 percent condition applies only to that
portion of the shipment sold as larger than 100 mm
coke, and if at least 50 percent of such coke is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S
Background
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
On May 31, 2006, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published a
notice of initiation of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on non–malleable cast iron pipe fittings
from the Peoples’ Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 30864 (May 31, 2006). The
period of review is April 1, 2005,
through March 31, 2006. The
preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due
no later than January 2, 2007.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping order within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further
provides, however, that the Department
may extend the 245-day period to 365
days if it determines it is not practicable
to complete the review within the
foregoing time period. The Department
determines that it is not practicable to
complete this administrative review
within the time limits mandated by
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because
this review involves examining a
number of complex issues related to
factors of production and surrogate
values. The Department requires
additional time to issue and analyze
supplemental questionnaires regarding
these issues. Therefore, in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department is extending the time period
for completing the preliminary results of
this administrative review until April
30, 2007, which is 365 days from the
last day of the anniversary month of the
date of publication of the order. The
deadline for the final results of the
review continues to be 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary
results.
This extension notice is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

(the Department) is rescinding its
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip from South Korea for the
period June 1, 2005 to May 31, 2006.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 7, 2006.

telephone: (202) 482–4475 and (202)
482–0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet,
and strip (PET film) from South Korea
for the period June 1, 2005, through May
31, 2006. See Antidumping of
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 71
FR 32032 (June 2, 2006). In response, on
June 30, 2006, DuPont Teijin Films,
Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., and
Toray Plastics (America), Inc.
(collectively, the petitioners) timely
requested an administrative review of
Kohap, Ltd., a manufacturer/exporter of
subject merchandise. No other party in
this case requested an administrative
review. On July 27, 2006, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of Kohap, Ltd. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 71 FR 42626 (July
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
27, 2006). On October 25, 2006,
petitioners submitted a letter
withdrawing their request for an
administrative review of Kohap, Ltd.
See letter from petitioners dated October
25, 2006.
Rescission of Review
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) 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 its request for review at a
later date if the Department determines
it is reasonable to extend the time limit
for withdrawing the request. In response
to petitioners’ withdrawal of their
request for an administrative review,
and because the request was timely
withdrawn, the Department hereby
rescinds the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on PET film
from South Korea for the period June 1,
2005, through May 31, 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 Kohap, Ltd. at
the cash deposit rate in effect on the
date of entry for entries during the
period June 1, 2005, through May 31,
2006.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 19 C.F.R. 351.305(a)(3). 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 published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 31, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on non-malleable cast iron pipe fittings from
the Peoples' Republic of China (``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping

administrative review are currently due no later than January 2, 2007.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``Act''), the Department shall make a preliminary
determination in an administrative review of an antidumping order

provides, however, that the Department may extend the 245-day period to
365 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review
within the foregoing time period. The Department determines that it is
not practicable to complete this administrative review within the time
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because this review
involves examining a number of complex issues related to factors of
