Pure Magnesium from the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 24572-24573 [E8-9891]

Download as PDF 24572 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 87 / Monday, May 5, 2008 / Notices comparison market LOT is more advanced than the CEP LOT. Based on our analysis of the channels of distribution and selling functions performed by Polyplex for sales in the comparison market and CEP sales in the U.S. market, we preliminarily find that the comparison market LOT is at a more advanced stage of distribution when compared to CEP sales because Polyplex provides many more selling functions in the comparison market at a higher level of service as compared to selling functions performed for its CEP sales (i.e., technical services/support, customer interaction, sales calls, marketing research, order processing, price negotiation, credit/payment collection, delivery/freight, inventory maintenance (non–consignment sales), inventory maintenance (consignment sales), and sales promotion). See Exhibit S1 of Polyplex’s SABCQR. Thus, we find that Polyplex’s comparison market sales are at a more advanced LOT than its CEP sales. There is one LOT in the comparison market, and there are no data available to determine the existence of a pattern of price difference, and we do not have any other information that provides an appropriate basis for determining a LOT adjustment. Therefore, consistent with section 773(a)(7)(B) of the Act, we applied a CEP offset to NV for CEP comparisons. To calculate the CEP offset, we deducted from NV the comparison market indirect selling expenses from NV for comparison market sales that were compared to U.S. CEP sales. As such, we limited the comparison market indirect selling expense deduction by the amount of the indirect selling expenses deducted in calculating the CEP as required under section 772(d)(1)(D) of the Act. Currency Conversion We made currency conversions into U.S. dollars in accordance with section 773A of the Act and 19 CFR 351.415 based on the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the U.S. sales as certified by the Federal Reserve Bank. rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we intend to verify all information upon which we will rely in making our final determination. Preliminary Determination The weighted–average dumping margin in the preliminary determination is as follows: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:13 May 02, 2008 Jkt 214001 Producer/Exporter Weighted–Average Margin (Percentage) Polyplex (Thailand) Public Company Ltd. 0.00 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(b)(3) of the Act, the Department will disregard any weighted–average dumping margin that is zero or de minimis, i.e. less than 2 percent ad valorem. Based on our preliminary margin calculation, we will not direct the U.S. CBP to suspend liquidation of any entries of PET Film from Thailand as described in the ‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ section that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Department does not require any cash deposit or posting of a bond for this preliminary determination. ITC Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, we have notified the ITC of the Department’s preliminary determination. If the Department’s final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after our final determination whether imports of PET Film from Thailand are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. We will disclose the calculations used in our analysis to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Public Comment Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary determination. Interested parties may submit case briefs to the Department no later than seven days after the date of the issuance of the final verification report in this proceeding. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i). Rebuttal briefs, the content of which is limited to the issues raised in the case briefs, must be filed within five days of the deadline date for the submission of case briefs. See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1) and (2). A list of authorities used, a table of contents, and an executive summary of issues should accompany any briefs submitted to the Department. Executive summaries should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. Further, we request that parties submitting briefs and rebuttal briefs provide the Department with a copy of the public version of such briefs on diskette. In accordance with section 774 of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.310, the Department will hold a PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 public hearing, if requested, to afford interested parties an opportunity to comment on arguments raised in case or rebuttal briefs, provided that such a hearing is requested by an interested party.

[[Page 24573]]

Background

    On February 6, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice for an 
extension of time to issue the preliminary results of the antidumping 
duty administrative review on pure magnesium from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC''). See Pure Magnesium from the People's Republic of 
China: Extension of Time for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 6931 (February 6, 2008). The 
Department extended the time period for issuing the preliminary results 
of review by 90 days until April 30, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results.

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue preliminary results within 
245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for 
which a review is requested and the final results within 120 days after 
the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it 
is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 
245-day time period to a maximum of 365 days. We determine that 
completion of the preliminary results of this review within the 335-day 
period is not practicable because the Department requires additional 
time to analyze information pertaining to the respondents' sales 
practices, factors of production, and to issue and review responses to 
supplemental questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are fully extending the time period 
for issuing the preliminary results of to 365 days. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than May 30, 2008, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results 
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: April 29, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
