established in the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:
Sparklers from the People’s Republic of
China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991)
(‘‘Sparklers’’), as amplified by the Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585
(May 2, 1994). Under the separate–rates
criteria, the Department assigns separate
rates in NME cases only if the
respondent can demonstrate the absence
of both de jure and de facto
governmental control over export
activities.
By failing to allow the Department to
verify the accuracy of their submissions,
Leping Lotai, Nanjing Merry, and
Shanghai Strong, have not demonstrated
they are free of government control and
are therefore not eligible to receive a
separate rate. In the Notices of
Initiation, the Department stated that an
exporter unable to demonstrate the
company’s eligibility for a separate rate
does not meet the requirements of 19
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii) and its new
shipper review will be rescinded. See
May 5, 2006, Initiation Notice at 26454;
see also May 31, 2006, Initiation Notice
at 30866. Therefore, the Department is
preliminarily rescinding the new
shipper reviews of Leping Lotai,
Nanjing Merry, and Shanghai Strong.

Honey From Argentina and the

Results of the Expedited Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping
Duty Orders
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 1, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on honey
from Argentina and the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). On the basis of
notices of intent to participate and
adequate substantive responses filed on
behalf of domestic interested parties,
and no response from respondent
interested parties, the Department
conducted expedited (120-day) sunset
reviews of these antidumping duty
orders. As a result of these sunset
reviews, the Department finds that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the levels identified below in the
‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background
On November 1, 2006, the Department
initiated sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty orders on honey from
Argentina and the PRC 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 two domestic interested
parties, American Honey Producers
Association and Sioux Honey
Association (collectively, domestic
interested parties), within the deadline
specified in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of
the Department’s regulations. Domestic
E:\FR\FM\07MRN1.SGM
07MRN1
10151
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices
interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act as U.S. producers of a domestic
like product and under section 771(9)(E)
as a trade association whose members
produce the domestic like product in
the United States. We received complete
substantive responses from domestic
interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not
receive any responses from any
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 expedited sunset reviews of
these orders.
Scope of the Orders
For purposes of these orders, the
products covered are natural honey,
artificial honey containing more than 50
percent natural honey by weight,
preparations of natural honey
containing more than 50 percent natural
honey by weight, and flavored honey.
The subject merchandise includes all
grades and colors of honey whether in
liquid, creamed, comb, cut comb, or
chunk form, and whether packaged for
retail or in bulk form.
The merchandise covered by these
orders is currently classifiable under
subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90.90,
and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise under this order is
dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in these cases are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ from Stephen Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD
Operations, Import Administration, to
David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary
for Import Administration, dated March
1, 2007 (Decision Memorandum), which
is hereby adopted by this notice. The
issues discussed in the Decision
Memorandum include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margin likely
to prevail if the orders were revoked.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in these sunset
reviews and the corresponding
recommendations in this public
memorandum, which is on file in room
B–099 of the main Department building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the Internet at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Sunset Reviews
We determine that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on honey from
Argentina and the PRC would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the following percentage
weighted-average margins:

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
is conducting an administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on
stainless steel bar from India. The
period of review is February 1, 2005,
through January 31, 2006. This review
covers imports of stainless steel bar
from eight producers/exporters.
We preliminarily find that sales of the
subject merchandise have been made
below normal value. In addition, based
on the preliminary results for the
respondents selected for individual
review, we have preliminarily
determined a weighted–average margin
for those companies for which a review
was requested, but that were not
selected for individual review.
If these preliminary results are
adopted in our final results, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to assess antidumping duties
