Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Tenth Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 68858-68859 [E7-23688]

Download as PDF 68858 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 234 / Thursday, December 6, 2007 / Notices Lookout (all located on the High Cascades Ranger District) will become available for overnight rental; Squaw Peak Lookout (on the Siskiyou Mountains Ranger District) will also become available for overnight rental. Although different at each site, the new amenities range from electricity (Big Elk) and running water/indoor toilet (Lodgepole ) to vault toilets, working fireplaces, horse paddocks, and/or roadaccess improvements. The range of fees stated here is only proposed, and the actual fee for each site will be determined upon further analysis and public comment. Funds from fees would be used for the continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites. A financial analysis is being done to determine the rental fees, but they may range between $40 and $80 per night. The Rogue River—Siskiyou National Forest currently has ten other rental cabins or lookouts, and they are often booked up during the recreation season. The fees would continue to help preserve these particular structures and maintain their historic integrity. New fees would begin after May 2008 and contingent upon completion of certain improvements. The rentals would be available once a final decision is made and they are listed with the National Recreation Reservation Service.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a six-month advance notice in the Federal Register whenever new recreation fee areas are established. Once public involvement is complete, these new fees will be reviewed by a Recreation Resource Advisory Committee prior to a final decision and implementation.

    The products covered by this order are certain preserved mushrooms, 
whether imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. The

Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. ``Certain Preserved

cleaning, blanching, and

[[Page 68859]]

sometimes slicing or cutting. These mushrooms are then packed and 
heated in containers including, but not limited to, cans or glass jars 
in a suitable liquid medium, including, but not limited to, water, 
brine, butter or butter sauce. Certain preserved mushrooms may be 
imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. Included within 
the scope of this order are ``brined'' mushrooms, which are presalted 
and packed in a heavy salt solution to provisionally preserve them for 
further processing.
    Excluded from the scope of this order are the following: (1) All 
other species of mushroom, including straw mushrooms; (2) all fresh and 
chilled mushrooms, including ``refrigerated'' or ``quick blanched 
mushrooms''; (3) dried mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and (5) 
``marinated,'' ``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms, which are 
prepared or preserved by means of vinegar or acetic acid, but may 
contain oil or other additives.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On June 19, 2000, the Department affirmed that 
``marinated,'' ``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms containing 
less than 0.5 percent acetic acid are within the scope of the

Acidified Mushrooms from the Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order on 
Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China,'' 
dated June 19, 2000. On February 9, 2005, this decision was upheld 
by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See 
Tak Fat v. United States, 396 F.3d 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2005).

2003.10.0147, 2003.10.0153 and 0711.51.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS

Analysis of Comments Received

    No interested parties submitted comments for these final results.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We made no changes to the Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

    We find that the following margin exists during the period February 
1, 2006, through September 12, 2006:

                Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the PRC
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guangxi Jisheng Foods, Inc..........................                0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions for Jisheng to CBP 15 days after the 
date of publication of the final results of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer) ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales to the total 
entered value of those same sales. We will instruct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if 
any importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results 
of this review is above de minimis.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of these results of the new shipper review for all 
shipments of subject merchandise from Jisheng entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date: (1) 
For subject merchandise produced and exported by Jisheng, no cash 
deposit will be required; (2) for subject merchandise exported by 
Jisheng but not manufactured by itself, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the PRC-wide rate (i.e., 198.63 percent); and (3) for 
subject merchandise manufactured by Jisheng but exported by any other 
party, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
exporter. These requirements will remain in effect until publication of 
the final results of the next administrative review.

Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also 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 POR. 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.

Administrative Protective Orders

    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 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This new shipper review and notice are in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.214(h).

    Dated: November 28, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
