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

The following cash–deposit

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) requires longline vessel
operators to notify NMFS in the event
an endangered short-tailed albatross is
hooked or entangled during fishing
operations. Following the retrieval of
the seabird from the ocean, as required
by Federal regulations, the vessel
captain must record the condition of the
injured short-tailed albatross on a
recovery data form. The information
will be used by a veterinarian in
providing advice to the captain caring
for the short-tailed albatross. If the
albatross is dead, the captain must
attach an identification tag to the
carcass to assist the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists in
follow-up studies on the specimen. This
collection is one of the terms and
conditions contained in the biological
opinion issued by USFWS, and is
intended to maximize the probability of
the long-term survival of short-tailed
albatross accidentally taken by longline
gear.
