B. Service of the Notice of Issuance of
Charging Letter
In the case, BIS served notice of
issuance of the Charging Letter in
accordance with § 766.3(b)(1) of the
Regulations when it sent a copy of the
Charging Letter by certified mail to
Kovacs at his last known address on
June 28, 2005. The notice of issuance of
a charging letter was received and
signed for by Kovacs on July 5, 2005.
C. Summary of Violations Charged
The Charging Letter issued by BIS
included a total of six (6) charges related
to the illegal export of a manufacturing
furnace to the Beijing Research Institute
of Materials and Technology (‘‘BRIMT’’)
in the People’s Republic of China. The
export of the furnace, which took place
in 1999, required a license because the
exporter, Elatec (Kovacs’ company),
knew or had reason to know at the time
of the export that the item would be
used in the design, development,
production, or use of missiles in or by
China, as described in § 744.39a)(2) of
the Regulations. A license application
submitted for the export was explicitly
denied by BIS before the export
occurred, and no license for the export
was over obtained.
The Charging Letter alleged that
Kovacs sold, transferred, forwarded
and/or disposed of the furnace with
knowledge that a violation would
subsequently occur, that Kovacs
conspired to export the furnace without
a license, that Kovacs caused the
furnace to be exported without a
license, and that Kovacs took actions
with the intent to evade the Regulations
in connection with the furnace export.
Furthermore, the Charging Letter alleged
that Kovacs made two false statements
to the U.S. Government during the
investigation of the illegal export.
D. Penalty Recommendation
to conduct administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with January
anniversary dates. In accordance with
the Department’s regulations, we are
initiating those administrative reviews.
[Redacted Section]
EFFECTIVE DATE:
E. Conclusion
Accordingly, I am referring this
Recommended Decision and Order to
the Under Secretary of Commerce for
Industry and Security for review and
final action for the agency, without
further notice to the Respondent, as
provided in § 766.7 of the Regulations.
Within 30 days after receipt of this
Recommended Decision and Order, the
Under Secretary shall issue a written
order affirming, modifying, or vacating
the Recommended Decision and Order.
See 15 CFR 766.22(c).

Preliminary Results of Full Sunset
Review: Countervailing Duty Order on
Honey from Argentina
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 1, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
honey from Argentina, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). On the basis of a
notice of intent to participate and an
adequate substantive response filed on
behalf of the domestic interested parties
and adequate substantive responses
from respondent interested parties, the
Department determined to conduct a
full sunset review of this CVD order
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2). As a result of
our analysis, the Department
preliminarily finds that revocation of
the countervailing duty order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy
at the level indicated in the
‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section
of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 28, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2006, the Department
initiated the first sunset review of the
CVD order on honey from Argentina,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.
See Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 71 FR 64242 (November 1,
2006). The Department received notices
of intent to participate from the
American Honey Producers Association
(AHPA) and the Sioux Honey
Association (SHA), the petitioners in the
original investigation (collectively,
‘‘domestic interested parties’’), within
the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). AHPA and SHA
claimed interested party status as trade
or business associations a majority of
whose members manufacture, produce
or wholesale a domestic like product for
the United States under section
771(9)(E) of the Act; SHA also claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic
producers of processed and raw honey
in the United States engaged in the
manufacture, production, or wholesale
of honey in the United States. The
Department received substantive
responses from the domestic interested
parties and the following respondent
interested parties: the Government of
Argentina (GOA), Nexco, S.A (Nexco),
HoneyMax, S.A (HoneyMax), and the
´
Asociacion de Cooperativas Argentinas
(ACA).
On December 20, 2006, the
Department determined that the
participation of the respondent
interested parties was adequate, and
that it was appropriate to conduct a full
sunset review. See Memorandum to
Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant
Secretary, Import Administration, Re:
Adequacy Determination: Sunset
Review of the Countervailing Duty Order
on Honey from Argentina dated
December 20, 2006, and on file in the
Central Records Unit (CRU), Room B–
099 of the main Commerce Building.
Scope Of The Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is artificial honey containing more
than 50 percent natural honeys by
weight, preparations of natural honey
containing more than 50 percent natural
honeys by weight, and flavored honey.
The subject merchandise includes all
grades and colors of honey whether in
liquid, creamed, combs, cut comb, or
chunk form, and whether packaged for
retail or in bulk form. The merchandise
subject to this order is currently
classifiable under subheadings
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
0409.00.00, 1702.90, and 2106.90.99 of
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise covered by this order is
dispositive.
Analysis Of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Preliminary Issues and
Decision Memorandum from Stephen J.
Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, to David M.
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum), dated concurrently with
this notice and which is hereby adopted
by this notice. Parties can find a
complete discussion of all issues raised
in this review and the corresponding
recommendation in this public
memorandum which is on file in the
CRU. In addition, a complete version of
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum
can be accessed directly on the Web at
https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy
and electronic version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Preliminary Results Of Review
The Department preliminarily
determines that revocation of the CVD
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of a countervailable
subsidy. The net countervailable
subsidy likely to prevail if the order
were revoked is 5.85 percent.
Interested parties may submit case
briefs and hearing requests no later than
50 days after the date of publication of
these preliminary results, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i) and 19 CFR
351.310(c). Rebuttal briefs, which must
be limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed not later than five
days from the filing of the case briefs,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(d).
If a hearing is requested, parties will be
notified of the date, time and location.
The Department will issue a notice of
final results of this sunset review, which
will include the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any such briefs, no later
than June 29, 2007.
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results and notice in
