Suspension Agreement and Notice of
Antidumping Duty Order, 68 FR 60081
(October 21, 2003). On November 30,
2007, we received a timely request for
a new shipper review from Hunan Valin
Xiangtan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (‘‘Hunan
Valin’’) in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(d)(2). Hunan Valin has certified
that it produced and exported the CTL
steel plate on which it based its request
for a new shipper review. The
Department initially denied Hunan
Valin’s request for a new shipper review
in this case. However, as a result of
subsequent information submitted by
the requester, the Department has
reconsidered its decision and is now
initiating the new shipper review.
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), Hunan
Valin certified that it did not export CTL
steel plate to the United States during
the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’).
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Hunan Valin certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, it has
never been affiliated with any exporter
or producer who exported CTL steel
plate to the United States during the
POI, including those not individually
examined during the investigation. As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
Hunan Valin also certified that its
export activities were not controlled by
the central government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, the exporter submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which it first
shipped CTL steel plate for export to the
United States and the date on which the
CTL steel plate was first entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of its first
shipment; and (3) the date of its first
sale to an unaffiliated customer in the
United States.
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we are
initiating this new shipper review for
shipments of CTL steel plate from the
PRC produced and exported by Hunan
Valin.
The POR is November 1, 2006,
through October 31, 2007. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). We intend to issue
preliminary results of these reviews no
later than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and final results of these
reviews no later than 270 days from the
date of initiation. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
On August 17, 2006, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (‘‘H.R. 4’’) was
signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4
PO 00000

temporarily suspends the authority of
the Department to instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to collect a bond
or other security in lieu of a cash
deposit in new shipper reviews during
the period April 1, 2006, through June
30, 2009. Therefore, the posting of a
bond or other security under section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act in lieu of a
cash deposit is not available in this case.
Importers of CTL steel plate
manufactured and exported by Hunan
Valin must continue to pay a cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
on each entry of subject merchandise at
the current PRC-wide rate of 128.59
percent.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this new
shipper review 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 and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).
