subject. BEA did not receive any public
comments.
Shared Data
BEA will provide the Census Bureau
with data from its surveys of U.S. direct
investment abroad, foreign direct
investment in the United States, and
U.S. international services transactions.
It is anticipated that the Census Bureau
will share data collected from the
Survey of Industrial Research and
Development, the 2002 Economic
Census, and its Business Register with
BEA. The Census Bureau will issue a
separate notice addressing this issue.
The shared BEA and Census Bureau
data will be used for statistical purposes
only.

Statistical Purposes for the Shared Data
Data collected in BEA’s surveys of
direct investment are used to develop
estimates of the financing and
operations of U.S. parent companies,
their foreign affiliates, and U.S. affiliates
of foreign companies, and estimates of
transactions and positions between
parents and affiliates. Data collected in
BEA’s surveys of U.S. international
services transactions are used to
develop estimates of services
transactions between U.S. persons (in a
broad legal sense, including companies)
and foreign persons. These estimates are
published in the Survey of Current
Business, BEA’s monthly journal; in
other BEA publications; and on BEA’s
Web site at https://www.bea.gov/. All
data are collected under sections 3101–
3108, of Title 22, U.S.C.
The data sets created by linking these
data with the data from the abovedesignated Census Bureau surveys and
Business Register will be used for
several exclusively statistical purposes
by both agencies, such as for evaluating
the feasibility of developing state-level
estimates of U.S. services exports, and
producing aggregate tabulations of data
for the NSF that augment and improve
information on international aspects of
R&D performance, funding, and related
economic activity.
Data Access and Confidentiality
Title 22, U.S.C. 3104 protects the
confidentiality of the data to be
provided by BEA to the Census Bureau.
The data may be seen only by persons
sworn to uphold the confidentiality of
the information. Access to the shared
data will be restricted to specifically
authorized personnel and will be
provided for statistical purposes only.
Any results of this research are subject
to BEA disclosure protection. All
Census Bureau employees with access
to these data will become BEA Special

Sworn Employees—meaning that they,
under penalty of law, must uphold the
data’s confidentiality. Selected NSF
employees will provide BEA with
expertise on various aspects of R&D
performance and funding of companies
that provide data to BEA. These NSF
consultants assisting with the work at
the BEA also will become BEA Special
Sworn Employees. No confidential data
will be provided to the NSF.

Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order on Canned Pineapple Fruit from
Thailand
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on canned pineapple fruit (CPF)
from Thailand would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing notice of continuation of this
antidumping duty order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 16, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Martha Douthit or Maureen Flannery,
AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, Import

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
The Department initiated and the ITC
instituted sunset reviews of the
antidumping duty order on CPF from
Thailand, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). See Initiation of Five-year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews; 71 FR 16551 (April
3, 2006), and Institution of a five-year
review concerning the antidumping duty
order on canned pineapple fruit from
Thailand; 71 FR 16585 (April 3, 2006).
As a result of its review, the
Department found that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail were the order to be revoked.
See Canned Pineapple Fruit from
Thailand; Final Results of the Full
Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty
Order; 72 FR 9921 (March 6, 2007).
On April 4, 2007, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on canned pineapple fruit from
Thailand would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time. See Canned Pineapple Fruit from

and USITC Publication 3911 (March
2007), (Inv. No. 731–TA–706) (Second
Review).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
CPF, defined as pineapple processed
and/or prepared into various product
forms, including rings, pieces, chunks,
tidbits, and crushed pineapple, that is
packed and cooked in metal cans with
either pineapple juice or sugar syrup
added. Imports of canned pineapple
fruit are currently classifiable under
subheadings 2008.20.0010 and
2008.20.0090 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
HTSUS 2008.20.0010 covers canned
pineapple fruit packed in a sugar–based
syrup; HTSUS 2008.20.0090 covers
canned pineapple fruit packed without
added sugar (i.e., juice–packed).
The HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes.
The written description of the
merchandise covered by this order is
dispositive
Continuation of Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
duty order on canned pineapple fruit
from Thailand. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect antidumping duty cash deposits
at the rates in effect at the time of entry
for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
this order will be the date of publication
in the Federal Register of this Notice of
Continuation. Pursuant to sections
751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of this order not later
than March 2012.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 10, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
