Background
On November 24, 2006, the
Department published its Preliminary
Results of this antidumping duty new
shipper review of honey from
Argentina. On December 15, 2006, the

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 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 the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this new
shipper review are addressed in the
‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’
(Decision Memorandum) from Stephen
J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, to David M.
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration. A list of issues
addressed in the Decision Memorandum
is appended to this notice. The Decision
Memorandum is on file in the CRU and
can be accessed directly on the web at
https://www.ita.doc.gov/.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have made no changes to
our preliminary results.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
dumping margins exist for the period
December 1, 2004, through December

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
the CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
we have calculated importer–specific
assessment rates for the merchandise
based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales made during the POR to
the total customs value of the sales used
to calculate those duties. The
Department will issue appropriate ad

of these final results of review. We will
direct CBP to assess the resulting
assessment rate against the entered
customs values for the subject
merchandise on each of the importer’s
entries during the POR.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know their merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all–
others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a full discussion of
this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
new shipper review for all shipments of
the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Tariff Act):
(1) the cash deposit for Patagonik/CSR
will be the rate established in the final
results of this new shipper review;
(2) for any previously reviewed or
investigated company not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company–specific rate published in
the most recent period;
(3) the cash deposit rate for entries of
subject merchandise exported/produced
by Patagonik/CSR but not produced by
Patagonik/CSR will continue to be the
‘‘all other’s’’ rate of 30.24 percent or the
rate applicable to the producer/exporter
if so established; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
manufacturer is a firm covered in this or
any previous review conducted by the
Department, the cash deposit rate will
be the ‘‘all others’’ rate from the LTFV
investigation (30.24 percent). See Notice
of Antidumping Duty Order; Honey
From Argentina, 66 FR 63672
(December 10, 2001). These deposit

to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information

Federal Government—Version 1.0, NIST
has begun to consider the feasibility and
form of a possible testing program to
demonstrate claims of compliance. Such
a testing program might have two
components:
(1) Qualified test laboratories testing

relevant test methods, and
(2) An Approved Products List.
The approved products list could
identify Hosts, Routers and Network
Protection Devices (including Firewalls)
that have passed interoperability testing
and conformance testing.
The objective of the meeting is to
determine the following information:
(1) Whether there are test Suites for
interoperability and conformance that
can be placed in the public domain, free
from intellectual property rights or other
encumbrance and validated against the
specifications, for use as the standard
reference test suite for the U.S.
Government IPv6 Profile.
(2) What test methods, being devices
or procedural systems, can be validated
in conjunction with the standard
reference test suites.
(3) Whether there are testing facilities
compliant with, or intending to be
compliant with, ISO 17025 General
Requirements for the Competence of
Calibration and Testing Laboratories,

The merchandise covered by the order is honey from Argentina. 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

All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this new shipper review are addressed in the ``Issues and Decision
Memorandum'' (Decision Memorandum) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. A list of issues
addressed in the Decision Memorandum is appended to this notice. The
Decision Memorandum is on file in the CRU and can be accessed directly
on the web at https://www.ita.doc.gov/.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Assessment
The Department shall determine, and the CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated importer-specific assessment
rates for the merchandise based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales made during the
POR to the total customs value of the sales used to calculate those
duties. The Department will issue appropriate ad valorem assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication
[[Page 19178]]
of these final results of review. We will direct CBP to assess the
resulting assessment rate against the entered customs values for the
subject merchandise on each of the importer's entries during the POR.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by companies
included in these final results of review for which the reviewed
companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this new shipper review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Tariff Act):
(1) the cash deposit for Patagonik/CSR will be the rate established
in the final results of this new shipper review;
(2) for any previously reviewed or investigated company not listed
above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific
rate published in the most recent period;
(3) the cash deposit rate for entries of subject merchandise
exported/produced by Patagonik/CSR but not produced by Patagonik/CSR
will continue to be the ``all other's'' rate of 30.24 percent or the
rate applicable to the producer/exporter if so established; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered
in this or any previous review conducted by the Department, the cash
deposit rate will be the ``all others'' rate from the LTFV
investigation (30.24 percent). See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order;
Honey From Argentina, 66 FR 63672 (December 10, 2001). These deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative review.
Notification to Interested Parties
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 presumption that

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
