Background
On January 28, 2008, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the countervailing duty order on hotrolled carbon steel products from India
covering the period January 1, 2007,
through December 31, 2007. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008). The
preliminary results are currently due no
later than September 1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to make a
preliminary determination within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order for which a review
is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act further states that if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within the time period specified, the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
23:06 Jul 29, 2008
Jkt 214001
administering authority may extend the
245-day period to issue its preliminary
results to up to 365 days.
Due to the complexity of the issues in
this administrative review, such as the
absence of exports during the POR and
the petitioners’ request for verification,
we have determined that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results within the 245-day period.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are partially
extending the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of the review by
109 days. The preliminary results are
now due no later than December 19,
2008. The final results continue to be
due 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: July 24, 2008.

Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(2002), for administrative
reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings
with June anniversary dates. The
Department also received a timely
request to revoke in part the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from
Taiwan with respect to one exporter. In
addition, the Department received a
request to defer for one year the
initiation of the June 1, 2007 through
May 31, 2008 administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on Folding
Metal Tables and Chairs from the
People’s Republic of China with respect
to one exporter in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(c). The Department
received no objections to this request
from any party cited in 19 CFR
351.213(c)(1)(ii).
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews,
the Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review
(POR). We intend to release the CBP
data under Administrative Protective
Order (APO) to all parties having an
APO within five days of publication of
this initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 20 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The
Department invites comments regarding
the CBP data and respondent selection
within 10 calendar days of publication
of this Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government
control and, thus, should be assigned a
single antidumping duty deposit rate. It
is the Department’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, the Department analyzes each
entity exporting the subject
merchandise under a test arising from
E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Notices
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991) (‘‘Sparklers’’), as
amplified by Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon
Carbide from the People’s Republic of
China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994)
(‘‘Silicon Carbide’’). In accordance with
the separate-rates criteria, the
Department assigns separate rates to
companies in NME cases only if
respondents can demonstrate the
absence of both de jure and de facto
government control over export
activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate-rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate-rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate-rate
eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was
requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this
proceeding in which they participated,
to certify that they continue to meet the
criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department’s Web site
at https://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register. In
responding to the certification, please
follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department
no later than 30 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Certification applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers
who purchase and export subject
merchandise to the United States.
For entities that have not previously
been assigned a separate rate, to
demonstrate eligibility for such, the
Department requires a Separate Rate
Status Application. The Separate Rate
Status Application will be available on
the Department’s Web site at https://
www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. In responding to the Separate
Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the
44221
application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to the Department
no later than 60 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Separate Rate Status
Application applies equally to NMEowned firms, wholly foreign-owned
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase
and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with section 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders and findings. We intend to issue
the final results of these reviews not
later than June 30, 2009. Also in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c), we
deferring for one year the iniation of the
June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008
Administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Folding

SUMMARY: On September 4, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated the sunset
review of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’)
order on carbon and certain alloy steel
wire rod (‘‘wire rod’’) from Canada. See
Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 72 FR 50659 (September 4,
2007). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the U.S. International Trade
Commission (‘‘ITC’’) determined that
revocation of the existing AD order on
wire rod from Canada would not be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See ITC

Background
On October 29, 2002, the Department

2007, the Department initiated, and the
ITC instituted, the sunset review of the
AD order on wire rod from Canada. See
Initiation of Five-year Sunset Reviews,
72 FR at 50659.
As a result of the Department’s sunset
review, the Department determined that
revocation of the AD order would be
likely to lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping. See Carbon and

individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports during the period of review
(POR). We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative
Protective Order (APO) to all parties having an APO within five days of
publication of this initiation notice and to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within 20 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The Department invites comments regarding the
CBP data and respondent selection within 10 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to
an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to
be entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a
separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the
subject merchandise under a test arising from
[[Page 44221]]
the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers
from the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991)
(``Sparklers''), as amplified by Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the People's Republic of China,
59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) (``Silicon Carbide''). In accordance with the
separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns separate rates to
companies in NME cases only if respondents can demonstrate the absence
of both de jure and de facto government control over export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department's Web site at https://www.trade.gov/ia on
the date of publication of this Federal Register. In responding to the
certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department no later than 30 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned
firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
For entities that have not previously been assigned a separate
rate, to demonstrate eligibility for such, the Department requires a
Separate Rate Status Application. The Separate Rate Status Application
will be available on the Department's Web site at https://www.trade.gov/
ia on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to the Department no later than 60 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status Application applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign
sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the United
States.
