segments in which it participated is
unreliable and cannot serve as the basis
for determining the actual margin of
dumping.
Because we have determined that the
information submitted by Lensi during
the seventh review and prior reviews is
not reliable, we looked to information
submitted by other respondents during
the seventh review for corroboration of
the AFA rate. See February 12, 2008,
Memorandum to the File, from Eric B.
Greynolds, Program Manager, Office 3,
Operations, RE: Corroboration of
Adverse Facts Available Rate for Lensi,
S.p.A. (AFA Corroboration
Memorandum). The transaction-specific
margins from other respondents from
the seventh review represent ‘‘a
reasonably accurate estimate’’ of Lensi’s
dumping activity in the Seventh Review
of Pasta from Italy, absent any other
reliable data upon which to calculate
Lensi’s margin. See F.lli de Cecco Di
Filippo Fara S. Martino S.p.A. v. United
States, 216 F.3d 1027, 1032 (Fed. Cir.
2000) (F.lli de Cecco); see also section
776(c) of the Act which states that,
when relying on secondary information,
the Department shall, ‘‘to the extent
practicable, corroborate that information
from independent sources that are
reasonably at their disposal.’’ Thus,
with respect to the reliability of
secondary information, the standard
established in the statute and
interpreted by the Court is not one of
perfection but rather one that requires
reasonable accuracy. In any case, any
potential inaccuracy in the information
used to corroborate the AFA rate
applied to Lensi is the result of Lensi’s
own actions. Thus, the Department
determines that the transaction-specific
margins of other respondents from the
seventh review corroborate to the extent
practicable the 45.59 percent AFA
margin. See Ta Chen, 298 F.3d at 1339;
see also NSK Ltd., 346 F. Supp. 2d at
1331–36; and Shanghai Taoen, 360 F.
Supp. 2d at 1348 (affirming
corroboration by using respondent’s
own transaction-specific margins from
prior reviews or transaction-specific
margins from other respondents). As
recognized by the Federal Circuit, so
long as the data are corroborated, the
Department has ‘‘discretion to choose
which sources and facts it will rely on
to support an adverse inference.’’ See
F.lli de Cecco, 216 F.3d at 1032. In this
case, the Department has exercised this
discretion in a reasonable manner by
corroborating the respondent’s AFA rate
with the transaction-specific margins of
other respondents from the seventh
review. See Ta Chen, 298 F.3d at 1278–
79; see also NSK Ltd., 346 F. Supp. 2d

Supp. 2d at 1348.
Since we have preliminarily
determined that Lensi made sales at less
than NV during the 2002–2003 POR and
was not entitled to revocation, the
antidumping duty order is hereby
provisionally reinstated, and we will
instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of
all entries of subject merchandise
produced and exported by Lensi
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.8
Furthermore, a cash deposit
requirement of 45.59 percent will be in
effect for all shipments of the subject
merchandise produced and exported by
Lensi that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of this notice.
A cash deposit requirement shall remain
in effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative review
unless the Department finds that Lensi
was entitled to revocation from the
order in the final results of this changed
circumstances review.
Any interested party may request a
hearing within 30 days of publication of
this notice. Any hearing, if requested,
will be held no later than 44 days after
the date of publication of this notice, or
the first workday thereafter. Case briefs
from interested parties may be
submitted not later than 30 days after
the date of publication of this notice.
Rebuttal briefs, limited to the issues
raised in those comments, may be filed
not later than five days after the
deadline for filing case briefs. See 19
CFR 531.309, 310. All written comments
shall be submitted in accordance with
19 CFR 351.303. Persons interested in
attending the hearing, if one is
requested, should contact the
Department for the date and time of the
hearing. The Department will publish
the final results of this changed
circumstances review, including the
results of its analysis of issues raised in
any written comments.
The Department will complete this
review within 270 days of the date on
which it initiated the changed
circumstances review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.216(e), the final results
of the changed circumstances review
will set forth the factual and legal
conclusions upon which our results are
based and a description of any action
proposed based on those results.
8 We note that over five years has passed since
Lensi was revoked from the antidumping duty
order. During this time, Lensi’s entries have not
been subject to suspension by the CBP and have not
been subject to a cash deposit rate.

AGENCY:
Background
On July 30, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) received a
timely request from Allegheny Ludlum
Corporation, AK Steel Corporation,
North American Stainless, United Auto
Workers Local 3303, Zanesville Armco
Independent Organization, Inc. and the
United Steelworkers (collectively,
petitioners) to conduct an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel sheet and strip in coils from
Mexico. On August 24, 2007, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of this administrative review,
covering the period of July 1, 2006 to
June 30, 2007. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August
24, 2007). The current deadline for the
preliminary results of this review is
April 1, 2008.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act),
requires the Department to complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM
22FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2008 / Notices
which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within these time periods,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the preliminary results to
a maximum of 365 days after the last
day of the anniversary month of an
order for which a review is requested.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this review within the original
time frame due to additional analysis
necessary with respect to cost of
production data used in the margin
calculation programs. Moreover, we
require additional information from the
respondent, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox
S.A. de C.V. and Mexinox USA, Inc., in
order to complete our analysis and will
not have time to analyze this
information prior to the current
deadline for the preliminary results.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results of this
administrative review until no later than
July 30, 2008, which is 365 days from
the last day of the anniversary month.
We intend to issue the final results no
later than 120 days after publication of
the preliminary results notice. This
extension is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Tariff Act.
