continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time, the Department is revoking the AD
on HR steel from Argentina, Kazakhstan,
Romania, and South Africa and CVD
orders on HR steel from Argentina and
South Africa.
Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the
effective dates of revocation are
September 11, 2006 (Argentina/CVD),

in the Federal Register of the notice of
the AD and CVD orders). The
Department will notify U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to discontinue
suspension of liquidation and collection
of cash deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from
warehouse on or after the effective date
of revocation of these AD and CVD
orders. The Department will complete
any pending administrative reviews of
these orders and will conduct

AGENCY:
Background
On July 3, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on saccharin
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 36420 (July 3, 2007). On July 30,
2007, Shanghai Fortune Chemical Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Fortune’’) requested
that the Department conduct an
administrative review of Shanghai
Fortune’s exports to the United States
for the period of review (‘‘POR’’) July 1,
2006, through June 30, 2007. Pursuant
to this request, the Department
published a notice of the initiation of
the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on saccharin
from the PRC for the POR. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR
48613 (August 24, 2007). On October 22,
2007, Shanghai Fortune withdrew its
request for the administrative review of
the antidumping order on saccharin
from the PRC for the POR.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
E:\FR\FM\20NON1.SGM
20NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 20, 2007 / Notices
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation. In this case, Shanghai
Fortune timely withdrew its request for
a review, and no other interested party
requested a review of this company.
Therefore, the Department is rescinding
this administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on saccharin
from the PRC covering the period July
1, 2006, through June 30, 2007, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
will issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Interested Parties
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure to comply
with this requirement could result in
the Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305 and as explained
in the APO itself. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
This notice is in accordance with
section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: November 14, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
INITIATION OF INVESTIGATION
The Petition
On October 22, 2007, the Department
of Commerce (Department) received an
antidumping duty petition concerning
sodium metal from France, filed by E.I.
DuPont de Nemours & Co. Inc. (the
petitioner) on behalf of the domestic
industry producing sodium metal. See
Antidumping Duty Petition on Sodium
Metal from France (Petition). On
October 29, 2007, the Department
clarified that the official filing date for
the Petition was October 23, 2007. See
Memorandum from Lisa Nguyen, Import
Policy Analyst, to Deputy Assistant
Secretary Stephen Claeys: Decision
Memorandum Concerning Petition
Filing Date, dated October 29, 2007.
The petitioner is the only domestic
producer of sodium metal. On October
25, 2007, the Department issued a
request for additional information and
clarification of certain areas of the
Petition. On October 30, 2007, in
response to the Department’s request,
the petitioner filed a supplement to the
Petition. On November 1, 2007, the
Department requested further
clarification with regard to the Petition
and the October 30, 2007, supplement to
the Petition. The petitioner filed a
second supplement to the Petition on
November 2, 2007. On November 6,
2007, the Department requested further
clarification and additional information
in regard to the petitioner’s November 2,
2007, supplement to the Petition. The
petitioner further supplemented the
Petition on November 8, 2007. On
November 9, 2007, the Department
requested further clarification and
additional information in regard to the
petitioner’s November 8, 2007,
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

supplement to the Petition. Finally, the
petitioner supplemented the Petition on
November 9, 2007.
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), the petitioner alleges that imports
of sodium metal from France are being,
or are likely to be, sold in the United
States at less than fair value within the
meaning of section 731 of the Act and
that such imports are materially
injuring, or threatening material injury
to, an industry in the United States.
The Department finds that the
petitioner filed this Petition on behalf of
the domestic industry because it is an
interested party as defined in section
771(9)(C) of the Act and has
demonstrated that the petitioner is the
only known member of the industry
with respect to the initiation of the
antidumping duty investigation that the
petitioner is requesting. See the
‘‘Determination of Industry Support for
the Petition’’ section below.
Period of Investigation
Because the Petition was filed on
October 23, 2007, the anticipated period
of investigation (POI) is October 1, 2006,
through September 30, 2007. See 19
CFR 351.204(b).
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation includes sodium metal
(Na), in any form and at any purity
level. Examples of names commonly
used to reference sodium metal are
sodium metal, sodium, metallic sodium,
and natrium. The merchandise subject
to this investigation is classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) as subheading
2805.11.0000. The American Chemical
Society Chemical Abstract Service
(CAS) has assigned the name ‘‘Sodium’’
to sodium metal. The CAS registry
number is 7440–23–5. For purposes of
the investigation, the narrative
description is dispositive, not the tariff
heading, CAS registry number or CAS
name, which are provided for
convenience and customs purposes.
Comments on Scope of Investigation
We are setting aside a period for
interested parties to raise issues
regarding product coverage, as
discussed in the preamble to the
regulations. See Antidumping Duties;
Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR
27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). The
Department encourages all interested
parties to submit such comments within
20 calendar days of signature of this
notice. Comments should be addressed
to Import Administration’s Central
Records Unit (CRU), Room 1870, U.S.
