Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 38607 (July 7, 2006).
The preliminary results are currently
due on December 24, 2006. The
Department issued supplemental
questionnaires to all four new shippers.
However, due to a substantial amount of
information regarding the production
and processing of the merchandise
under consideration, the Department
requires more time to issue additional
supplemental questionnaires to the new
shippers. Therefore, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘the Act’’) and 19 CFR
351.214(h)(i)(2), we are extending the
preliminary results of this new shipper
review.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
The Department determines that it
would be extraordinarily complicated to
complete the preliminary results of
these reviews within the current
statutory time period. This new shipper
review covers four companies, and to
conduct the sales and factor analyses for
each requires the Department to gather
and analyze a significant amount of
information pertaining to each
company’s sales practices and
manufacturing methods. The four new
shipper reviews involve extraordinarily
complicated methodological issues such
as the use of intermediate input
methodology, potential affiliation issues
and the examination of importer
information. Additionally, the
Department requires more time to
evaluate the bona fide nature of each
company’s sales.
Therefore, given the number and
complexity of issues in this case, and in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, we are extending the time
period for issuing the preliminary
results of review by 120 days until April
23, 2007. The final results continue to
be due 90 days after the publication of
the preliminary results.
This notice is published pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.214(h)(i)(2).
Background
On July 7, 2006, the Department
published a notice of initiation of a
review of fresh garlic from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the
period November 1, 2005, through April
Dated: December 14, 2006.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

rescinding its administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
in–shell raw pistachios from Iran for the
period July 1, 2005, through June 30,
2006.

telephone: (202) 482–3019 and (202)
482–0195, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 3, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain in–
shell raw pistachios (pistachios) from
Iran. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 71
FR 37890 (July 3, 2006). In response, on
July 31, 2006, Cal Pure Pistachios, Inc.
(Cal Pure), a domestic interested party,
requested an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
pistachios from Iran for the period of
review (POR) of July 1, 2005, through
June 30, 2006, with respect to entries of
merchandise exported or shipped by
Tehran Negah Nima Trading Company
(Nima). Respondent Nima did not
request an administrative review. On
August 25, 2006, the Department
initiated an administrative review of
Nima. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). On
September 18, 2006, the Department
issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to Nima. On October 4,
2006, Nima’s representative informed
the Department that it would not be
filing responses to the Department’s
questionnaire as it did not export or
E:\FR\FM\20DEN1.SGM
20DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 2006 / Notices
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 the 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
C.F.R. ¶351.213(d)(4).
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review
19 C.F.R. 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 at a later date if the
Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing
the request. In response to Cal Pure’s
timely withdrawal of its request for an
administrative review as well as the fact
that Nima had no shipments during the
POR pursuant to 19 C.F.R.
¶351.213(d)(3), the Department hereby
rescinds the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
pistachios from Iran for the period July
1, 2005, through June 30, 2006.
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
the publication of this notice. The
Department will direct CBP to assess
antidumping duties for Nima at the cash
deposit rate in effect on the date of entry
for entries during the period July 1,
2005, through June 30, 2006.
