Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 84 / Wednesday, April 30, 2008 / Notices Selected NME Countries, revised in January 2007, available at https:// ia.ita.doc.gov/wages/. Because this regression–based wage rate does not separate the labor rates into different skill levels or types of labor, we have applied the same wage rate to all skill levels and types of labor reported by the respondent. See also Surrogate Value Memorandum. If the NME wage rates are updated by the Department prior to issuance of the final determination, we will use the updated wage rate in the final results. To value electricity, we used data from the International Energy Agency Key World Energy Statistics (2003 edition). Because the value was not contemporaneous with the POR, we adjusted the rate for inflation. The Department valued water using data from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (www.midcindia.org) because it includes a wide range of industrial water tariffs. This source provides 386 industrial water rates within the Maharashtra province from June 2003: 193 for the ‘‘inside industrial areas’’ usage category and 193 for the ‘‘outside industrial areas’’ usage category. Because the value was not contemporaneous with the POR, we adjusted the rate for inflation. To value factory overhead, selling, general, and administrative expenses (‘‘SG&A’’), and profit, we used the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006, from the following producer: Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company, Ltd., an Indian producer of comparable merchandise. From this information, we were able to determine factory overhead as a percentage of the total raw materials, labor and energy (‘‘ML&E’’) costs; SG&A as a percentage of ML&E plus overhead (i.e., cost of manufacture); and the profit rate as a percentage of the cost of manufacture plus SG&A. For further discussion, see Factor Valuation Memorandum. Preliminary Results of Review rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES We preliminarily determine that the following margin exists during the period December 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007: Disclosure The Department will disclose calculations performed for these preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Interested parties may submit case briefs and/or written comments no later than 30 days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of review. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii). Rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written comments, limited to issues raised in such briefs or comments, may be filed no later than 35 days after the date of publication. See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1). Further, parties submitting written comments should provide the Department with an additional copy of those comments on diskette. Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of publication of these preliminary results. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Any hearing, if requested, will be held seven days after the scheduled date for submission of rebuttal briefs. See 19 CFR 351.310(d). The Department will issue the final results of these new shipper reviews, which will include the results of its analysis of issues raised in the briefs, within 90 days of issuance of these preliminary results, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), unless the time limit is extended. Assessment Rates Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review. We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if any assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. Cash Deposit On August 17, 2006, the Pension HAND TRUCKS AND PARTS THEREOF Protection Act of 2006 (‘‘H.R. 4’’) was signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4 FROM THE PRC temporarily suspends the authority of Weighted–Average the Department to instruct CBP to Exporter Margin (Percent) collect a bond or other security in lieu of a cash deposit in new shipper New–Tec Integration reviews. Therefore, the posting of a (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. ..... 0.00 bond under section 751(a)(B)(iii) of the VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:38 Apr 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23425 Act in lieu of a cash deposit is not available in this case. The following cash–deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this new shipper review for all shipments of subject merchandise from New–Tec entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise manufactured and exported by New–Tec, the cash–deposit rate will be the rate determined n the final results of review (except if that rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.50 percent, no cash deposit will be required); (2) for subject merchandise exported by New–Tec but not manufactured by New–Tec, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the PRC–wide rate (i.e., 383.60 percent); and (3) for subject merchandise manufactured by New–Tec, but not exported by New–Tec, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This new shipper review and this notice are published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: April 21, 2008. David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.
