Revision to the Unverified List—
Guidance as to ‘‘Red Flags’’
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On June 14, 2002, the Bureau
of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
published a notice in the Federal
Register that set forth a list of persons
in foreign countries who were parties to
past export transactions where prelicense checks or post-shipment
verifications could not be conducted for
reasons outside the control of the U.S.
Government (‘‘Unverified List’’).
Additionally, on July 16, 2004, BIS
published a notice in the Federal
Register that advised exporters that the
Unverified List would also include
persons in foreign countries who are
parties to transactions where BIS is not
able to verify the existence or
E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM
05JYN1
36656
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 128 / Thursday, July 5, 2007 / Notices
authenticity of the end-user,
intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or other party to the
transaction and persons affiliated with a
person on the Unverified List by virtue
of ownership, control, position of
responsibility, or other affiliation or
connection in the conduct of trade or
business. These notices advised
exporters that the involvement of a
listed person as a party to a proposed
transaction constitutes a ‘‘red flag’’ as
described in the guidance set forth in
Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR part 732,
requiring heightened scrutiny by the
exporter before proceeding with such a
transaction. This notice adds three
entities to the Unverified List. The
entities are: Al Minzal Medical
Equipment & Instruments, P.O. Box
31107, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates;
JSC Chop Vityaz-S, 146 Unikh Pionerov
Ave, Samara, Russia; Sistem Dizayners
Co., APA: 2 NO.: 60, Merdanov
Gardashlari St., Baku, Azerbaijan.
DATES: This notice is effective July 5,
2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Deniz Muslu, Office of Enforcement
Analysis, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Telephone: (202) 482–4255.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
administering export controls under the
Export Administration Regulations (15
CFR parts 730 to 774) (‘‘EAR’’), BIS
carries out a number of preventive
enforcement activities with respect to
individual export transactions. Such
activities are intended to assess
diversion risks, identify potential
violations, verify end-uses, and
determine the suitability of end-users to
receive U.S. commodities, software or
technology. In carrying out these
activities, BIS officials, or officials of
other federal agencies acting on BIS’s
behalf, selectively conduct pre-license
checks (‘‘PLCs’’) to verify the bona fides
of the transaction and the suitability of
the end-user or ultimate consignee. In
addition, such officials sometimes carry
out post-shipment verifications
(‘‘PSVs’’) to ensure that U.S. exports
have actually been delivered to the
authorized end-user, are being used in
a manner consistent with the terms of a
license or license exception, and
otherwise consistent with the EAR.
In certain instances BIS officials, or
other federal officials acting on BIS’s
behalf, have been unable to perform a
PLC or PSV with respect to certain
export control transactions for reasons
outside the control of the U.S.
Government (including a lack of
cooperation by the host government
authority, the end-user, or the ultimate
consignee). BIS listed a number of
foreign end-users and consignees
involved in such transactions in the
Unverified List that was included in
BIS’s Federal Register notice of June 14,
2002. 67 FR 40910. On July 16, 2004,
BIS published a notice in the Federal
Register that advised exporters that the
Unverified List would also include
persons in foreign countries where BIS
is not able to verify the existence or
authenticity of the end user,
intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or other party to an export
transaction and persons affiliated with a
person on the Unverified List by virtue
of ownership, control, position of
responsibility, or other affiliation or
connection in the conduct of trade or
business. 69 FR 42652.
The June 14, 2002 and July 16, 2004
notices advised exporters that the
involvement of a listed person in a
transaction constituted a ‘‘red flag’’
under the ‘‘Know Your Customer’’
guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3
to 15 CFR part 732 of the EAR. Under
that guidance, whenever there is a ‘‘red
flag,’’ exporters have an affirmative duty
to inquire, verify, or otherwise
substantiate the proposed transaction to
satisfy themselves that the transaction
does not involve a proliferation activity
prohibited in 15 CFR part 744, and does
not violate other provisions of the EAR.
The Federal Register notices further
stated that BIS may periodically add
persons to the Unverified List based on
the criteria set forth above, and remove
persons when warranted.
This notice advises exporters that BIS
is adding Al Minzal Medical Equipment
& Instruments in the United Arab
Emirates, JSC Chop Vityaz-S in Russia,
and Sistem Dizayners Co. in Azerbaijan
to the Unverified List. BIS has
determined that it is appropriate to add
these entities to the Unverified List
because BIS was unable to conduct a
PLC, a PSV, and/or was unable to verify
the existence or authenticity of an end
user, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or other party to an export
transaction. A ‘‘red flag’’ now exists for
transactions involving these entities due
to their inclusion on the Unverified List.
As a result, exporters have an
affirmative duty to inquire, verify, or
otherwise substantiate the proposed
transaction to satisfy themselves that the
transaction does not involve a
proliferation activity prohibited in 15
CFR part 744, and does not violate other
provisions of the EAR.
The Unverified List, as modified by
this notice, is set forth below.
Dated: June 28, 2007.
Darryl W. Jackson,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export
Enforcement.
Unverified List (As of July 5, 2007)
The Unverified List includes names,
countries, and last known addresses of
foreign persons involved in export
transactions with respect to which: The
Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
could not conduct a pre license check
(‘‘PLC’’) or a post shipment verification
(‘‘PSV’’) for reasons outside of the U.S.
Government’s control; BIS was not able
to verify the existence or authenticity of
the end user, intermediate consignee,
ultimate consignee or other party to an
export transaction; and/or the person is
affiliated with a person on the
Unverified List by virtue of ownership,
control, position of responsibility, or
other affiliation or connection in the
conduct of trade or business. Any
transaction to which a listed person is
a party will be deemed to raise a ‘‘red
flag’’ with respect to such transaction
within the meaning of the guidance set
forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR
part 732. The red flag applies to the
person on the Unverified List regardless
of where the person is located in the
country included on the list.

Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel
Plate from Romania: Preliminary
Results of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Intent to
Rescind in Part
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from
a domestic producer, Nucor
Corporation, and a Romanian producer/
exporter, Mittal Steel Galati, S.A. (‘‘MS
Galati’’), the Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain cut–
to-length carbon steel plate (‘‘CTL
plate’’) from Romania. The period of
review is August 1, 2005, through
December 15, 2005. With regard to the
two Romanian companies that are
subject to this administrative review,
producer MS Galati and exporter
Metalexportimport S.A. (‘‘MEI’’), we
preliminarily determine that sales of
subject merchandise produced by MS
Galati have been made at less than
normal value (‘‘NV’’). Since MEI was
not involved with any of the U.S. sales
during the period of review, we are
assigning a preliminary dumping
margin to MS Galati only and intend to
rescind the review with respect to MEI.
For a full discussion of the intent to
rescind with respect to MEI, see the
‘‘Notice of Intent to Rescind in Part’’
section of this notice below. We invite
interested parties to comment on these
preliminary results. Parties that submit
comments are requested to submit with
each argument (1) a statement of the
issue(s), (2) a brief summary of the
argument(s), and (3) a table of
authorities.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 5, 2007.

Background
On August 1, 2006, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:43 Jul 03, 2007
Jkt 211001
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CTL plate
from Romania for the period August 1,
2005, through July 31, 2006. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 71 FR 43441
(August 1, 2006). On August 30, 2006,
the Department received a timely
request from Nucor Corporation, a
domestic producer, requesting that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of shipments of CTL plate from
Romania produced by MS Galati and
exported to the United States by MS
Galati or MEI. In addition, on August
31, 2006, the Department received a
timely request from MS Galati,
requesting that the Department conduct
an administrative review of subject
merchandise produced/exported by MS
Galati.
On September 29, 2006, the
Department initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on CTL plate from Romania, for the
period covering August 1, 2005, through
July 31, 2006, to determine whether
merchandise imported into the United
States from MS Galati and MEI is being
sold at less than NV. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465
(September 29, 2006). On October 12,
2006, the Department issued an
antidumping duty questionnaire to MS
Galati.
On November 17, 2006, the
Department received the section A
questionnaire response from MS Galati.
On December 11, 2006, MS Galati filed
its section B and C questionnaire
responses. On February 14, 2007, the
Department issued a supplemental
questionnaire regarding MS Galati’s
sections A through C questionnaire
responses. On March 8, 2007, MS Galati
submitted its response to the
supplemental questionnaire. On April 2,
2007, the Department issued a second
supplemental questionnaire with regard
to section C, and received MS Galati’s
response on April 16, 2007. On June 12,
2007, the Department received MS
Galati’s quantity and value
reconciliation, as required under section
A of the Department’s antidumping
questionnaire. Because there was no
sales–below-cost allegation and the
Department did not initiate a review of
MS Galati’s costs, MS Galati was not
required to file a section D
questionnaire response.
On December 14, 2006, the
International Trade Commission
determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on CTL plate
from certain countries, including
PO 00000
Frm 00012

Romania, would not likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time. See Certain Carbon Steel Products
From Australia, Belgium, Brazil,

Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Romania,

587, 612, and 614–618 (Second Review)
(January 2007). Thus, the Department
revoked the antidumping duty order on
CTL plate from Romania, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 751(d) of the Act.
See Revocation Pursuant to Second
Five–Year (Sunset) Reviews:

(February 12, 2007) (‘‘Revocation of

stated in the Revocation of Plate from
Romania that it will complete any
pending administrative reviews of the
order and will conduct administrative
reviews of subject merchandise entered
prior to the effective date of revocation
in response to appropriately filed
requests for review. Pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of
revocation is December 15, 2005. As a
result, the Department is completing the
instant review of CTL plate from
Romania for the period of review
covering August 1, 2005, to December
15, 2005.

Government (``Unverified List''). Additionally, on July 16, 2004, BIS
published a notice in the Federal Register that advised exporters that
the Unverified List would also include persons in foreign countries who
are parties to transactions where BIS is not able to verify the
existence or
[[Page 36656]]
authenticity of the end-user, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or other party to the transaction and persons affiliated
with a person on the Unverified List by virtue of ownership, control,
position of responsibility, or other affiliation or connection in the
conduct of trade or business. These notices advised exporters that the
involvement of a listed person as a party to a proposed transaction
constitutes a ``red flag'' as described in the guidance set forth in
Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR part 732, requiring heightened scrutiny by
the exporter before proceeding with such a transaction. This notice
adds three entities to the Unverified List. The entities are: Al Minzal
Medical Equipment & Instruments, P.O. Box 31107, Sharjah, United Arab
Emirates; JSC Chop Vityaz-S, 146 Unikh Pionerov Ave, Samara, Russia;
Sistem Dizayners Co., APA: 2 NO.: 60, Merdanov Gardashlari St., Baku,
Azerbaijan.
DATES: This notice is effective July 5, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deniz Muslu, Office of Enforcement
Analysis, Bureau of Industry and Security, Telephone: (202) 482-4255.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In administering export controls under the
Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 to 774) (``EAR''),
BIS carries out a number of preventive enforcement activities with
respect to individual export transactions. Such activities are intended
to assess diversion risks, identify potential violations, verify end-
uses, and determine the suitability of end-users to receive U.S.
commodities, software or technology. In carrying out these activities,
BIS officials, or officials of other federal agencies acting on BIS's
behalf, selectively conduct pre-license checks (``PLCs'') to verify the
bona fides of the transaction and the suitability of the end-user or
ultimate consignee. In addition, such officials sometimes carry out
post-shipment verifications (``PSVs'') to ensure that U.S. exports have
actually been delivered to the authorized end-user, are being used in a
manner consistent with the terms of a license or license exception, and
otherwise consistent with the EAR.
In certain instances BIS officials, or other federal officials
acting on BIS's behalf, have been unable to perform a PLC or PSV with
respect to certain export control transactions for reasons outside the
control of the U.S. Government (including a lack of cooperation by the
host government authority, the end-user, or the ultimate consignee).
BIS listed a number of foreign end-users and consignees involved in
such transactions in the Unverified List that was included in BIS's
Federal Register notice of June 14, 2002. 67 FR 40910. On July 16,
2004, BIS published a notice in the Federal Register that advised
exporters that the Unverified List would also include persons in
foreign countries where BIS is not able to verify the existence or
authenticity of the end user, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or other party to an export transaction and persons
affiliated with a person on the Unverified List by virtue of ownership,
control, position of responsibility, or other affiliation or connection
in the conduct of trade or business. 69 FR 42652.
The June 14, 2002 and July 16, 2004 notices advised exporters that
the involvement of a listed person in a transaction constituted a ``red
flag'' under the ``Know Your Customer'' guidance set forth in
Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR part 732 of the EAR. Under that guidance,
whenever there is a ``red flag,'' exporters have an affirmative duty to
inquire, verify, or otherwise substantiate the proposed transaction to
satisfy themselves that the transaction does not involve a
proliferation activity prohibited in 15 CFR part 744, and does not
violate other provisions of the EAR. The Federal Register notices
further stated that BIS may periodically add persons to the Unverified
List based on the criteria set forth above, and remove persons when
warranted.
This notice advises exporters that BIS is adding Al Minzal Medical
Equipment & Instruments in the United Arab Emirates, JSC Chop Vityaz-S
in Russia, and Sistem Dizayners Co. in Azerbaijan to the Unverified
List. BIS has determined that it is appropriate to add these entities
to the Unverified List because BIS was unable to conduct a PLC, a PSV,
and/or was unable to verify the existence or authenticity of an end
user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or other party to an
export transaction. A ``red flag'' now exists for transactions
involving these entities due to their inclusion on the Unverified List.
As a result, exporters have an affirmative duty to inquire, verify, or
otherwise substantiate the proposed transaction to satisfy themselves
that the transaction does not involve a proliferation activity
prohibited in 15 CFR part 744, and does not violate other provisions of
the EAR.
The Unverified List, as modified by this notice, is set forth
below.
Dated: June 28, 2007.
Darryl W. Jackson,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement.
Unverified List (As of July 5, 2007)
The Unverified List includes names, countries, and last known
addresses of foreign persons involved in export transactions with
respect to which: The Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') could
not conduct a pre license check (``PLC'') or a post shipment
verification (``PSV'') for reasons outside of the U.S. Government's
control; BIS was not able to verify the existence or authenticity of
the end user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee or other party
to an export transaction; and/or the person is affiliated with a person
on the Unverified List by virtue of ownership, control, position of
responsibility, or other affiliation or connection in the conduct of
trade or business. Any transaction to which a listed person is a party
will be deemed to raise a ``red flag'' with respect to such transaction
within the meaning of the guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15
CFR part 732. The red flag applies to the person on the Unverified List
regardless of where the person is located in the country included on
the list.
