Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 187 / Thursday, September 27, 2007 / Notices
Xingda has met the statutory and
regulatory requirements for the
initiation of a NSR. Therefore, we are
initiating a NSR for Xingda. See
Memorandum to the File, from Thomas
Martin, International Trade Compliance
Analyst, through Abdelali Elouaradia,
Director, Office 4, AD/CVD Operations,
‘‘Initiation of Antidumping Duty New
Shipper Review: Certain Preserved
Mushrooms from the People’s Republic
of China,’’ dated September 21, 2007.
We intend to issue the preliminary
results of this review not later than 180
days after the date on which this review
is initiated, and the final results of this
review within 90 days after the date on
which the preliminary results are
issued. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of
the Act; 19 CFR 351.214(h)(i).
Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review
(‘‘POR’’) for a NSR initiated in the
month immediately following the
semiannual anniversary month will be
the six-month period immediately
preceding the semiannual anniversary
month. Therefore, the POR for the NSR
of Xingda is February 1, 2007, through
July 31, 2007.
In cases involving non–market
economies, the Department requires that
a company seeking to establish
eligibility for an antidumping duty rate
separate from the country–wide rate
provide evidence of de jure and de facto
absence of government control over the
company’s export activities. See Notice
of Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Bicycles From the
People’s Republic of China, 61 FR
19026, 19027 (April 30, 1996).
Accordingly, we will issue a
questionnaire to Xingda, including a
separate rates section. The review will
proceed if the responses provide
sufficient indication that Xingda is not
subject to either de jure or de facto
government control with respect to its
exports of preserved mushrooms.
However, if Xingda does not
demonstrate its eligibility for a separate
rate, then the company will be deemed
not separate from other companies that
exported during the POI and the NSR
will be rescinded as to the company.
On August 17, 2006, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was
signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4
temporarily suspends the authority of
the Department to instruct CBP to
collect a bond or other security in lieu
of a cash deposit in NSRs. Therefore, the
posting of a bond or other security
under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.214(e) in lieu of a cash
deposit is not available in this case.
Importers of subject merchandise
produced and exported by Xingda must
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
continue to pay a cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties on each
entry of subject merchandise at the
current PRC–wide rate of 198.63
percent.
Interested parties that require access
to proprietary information in this NSR
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act, 19 CFR 351.214, and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: September 21, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration.
