Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 155 / Monday, August 11, 2008 / Notices
of the antidumping duty order on
silicon metal from the PRC for the
period of June 1, 2006, through May 31,
2007. See, e.g., Stainless Steel Sheet and
Strip in Coils from Japan; Final
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 71 FR 26041,
26043 (May 3, 2006).
In addition, in the Preliminary
Results, the Department indicated that it
was unable to directly serve Global
Minerals (Canada), SeaView Trading, or
Coldstone with its Q&V questionnaire.
See Memorandum to the File from
Kristina Horgan, Senior International
Trade Analyst, AD/CVD Operations,
Office 9, regarding ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Silicon Metal
from the People’s Republic of China:
Proof of Non–Delivery to Global
Minerals (Canada) and SeaView
Trading,’’ dated November 9, 2007; see
also Memorandum to the File from
Michael Quigley, International Trade
Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9,
regarding ‘‘Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Silicon Metal
from the People’s Republic of China:
Record of Mailings to Coldstone Metals
Inc.,’’ dated November 20, 2007
(‘‘Coldstone Memo’’).
In its April 8, 2008, case brief,
Petitioners requested that the
Department apply adverse facts
available (‘‘AFA’’) to Coldstone for not
responding to the Department’s initial
August 24, 2007 Q&V questionnaire.
The Department finds that we cannot
penalize Coldstone for not responding
to the Department’s second Q&V letter,
as the Department was unable to inform
the party of the nature of the deficiency
on the record. See I&D Memo, at
Comment 2. Therefore, the Department
is rescinding the review with respect to
Coldstone, Global Minerals (Canada)
and SeaView Trading, in accordance
with our practice. See, e.g., Certain Steel
Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey:
Final Results and Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review in Part, 71 FR 65082, 65083
(November 7, 2006).Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and the PRC–Wide
Rate
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department found that Hunan
Provincial Import & Export Group Co
(PRC) (‘‘Hunan Provincial’’), Gather
Hope Int’l Co., Ltd. (‘‘Gather Hope’’),
and Alloychem Impex Corp.
(‘‘Alloychem’’) ceased participating in
the administrative review, as the
companies did not respond to the
Department’s requests for Q&V
information. As noted in the
Preliminary Results, the Department
found that Hunan Provincial, Gather
Hope, and Alloychem did not establish
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:22 Aug 08, 2008
Jkt 214001
their eligibility for separate rate status,
and thus such entities are deemed part
of the PRC–wide entity. As the
Department found that the PRC–wide
entity failed to cooperate to the best of
its ability in responding to the
Department’s requests for information,
the Department assigned the PRC–wide
entity a rate based on AFA. The
Department did not receive comments
prior to these final results regarding the
Department’s preliminary application of
AFA to the PRC–wide entity.
Therefore, for these final results, the
Department has not altered its decision
from the Preliminary Results to apply
total AFA to the PRC–wide entity
accordance with sections 776(a)(2)(A)
and (B) and section 776(b) of the Act,
and has assigned an AFA rate of 139.49
percent. See Preliminary Results at
12381.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
antidumping duty margin exists for the
period June 1, 2006, through May 31,
2007:
SILICON METAL FROM THE PRC
PRC–Wide Entity2 ........
139.49
2
The PRC–Wide Entity includes Hunan
Provincial, Gather Hope, and Alloychem.
Assessment Rates
The Department will instruct Customs
Border Patrol (‘‘CBP’’) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. For those companies for which
this review has been rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(I). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, as of the publication
date of this notice, of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On January 28, 2008, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of honey from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’),
covering the period December 1, 2006—
November 30, 2007. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 73 FR 4829 (January
28, 2008) (‘‘Initiation’’). On April 2,
2008, after receiving comments on U.S.
Customs and Border Protection data, the
Department selected the mandatory
respondents for this review. From May

11AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 155 / Monday, August 11, 2008 / Notices
9, 2008 to July 11, 2008, the
participating mandatory respondent
responded to the Department’s
questionnaire and subsequent
supplemental questionnaires. On June
10, 2008 the Department selected an
additional mandatory respondent,
which did not respond to the
Department’s initial antidumping duty
questionnaire or the Department’s
second antidumping duty questionnaire.
The preliminary results of this
administrative review are currently due
on September 2, 2008.
Extension of Time Limit for the
Preliminary Results
The Department determines that
completion of the preliminary results of
this review within the statutory time
period is not practicable, given the
extraordinarily complicated nature of
the proceeding. Although this
administrative review covers one
company, the Department requires more
time to gather and analyze a significant
amount of information pertaining to this
company’s corporate structure and
ownership, sales practices, and
manufacturing methods. Lastly, the
Department requires additional time to
analyze the questionnaire responses and
to issue supplemental questionnaires.
Therefore, given the number and
complexity of issues in this case, and in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), we are extending the time period
for issuing the preliminary results of
review by 75 days until November 15,
2008. The final results continue to be
due 120 days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is published pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2).
Dated: August 1, 2008.

SUMMARY: The Minority Business
Development Agency (MBDA) is
publishing this notice to allow for up to
a twelve (12) month funded extension,
on a non-competitive basis, of the
overall award periods for those Native
American Business Enterprise Centers
(NABECs) identified in this notice.
MBDA is taking this action to allow for
continued program delivery by the
incumbent NABECs operators while
MBDA completes the competitive
solicitation and award processes for the
next three (3) year award period for
these projects.
DATES: The award period and related
funding, if approved by the Department
of Commerce Grants Officer, will
commence September 1, 2008 and will
continue for a period not to exceed
twelve (12) months.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Efrain Gonzalez, Chief, Office of
Business Development, Minority
Business Development Agency, 1401
Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 5075,
Washington, DC 20230. Mr. Gonzalez
may be reached by telephone at (202)
482–1940 and by e-mail at
egonzalez@mbda.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Executive Order 11625, the NABEC
Program provides standardized business
assistance and development services
directly to eligible Native American and
minority-owned businesses. The
NABEC Program is a key component of
MBDA’s overall business development
assistance program and promotes the
growth and competitiveness of minority
business enterprises and further
incorporates an entrepreneurial
approach to the delivery of client
services. This entrepreneurial strategy
expands the reach and service delivery
of the NABEC Program by requiring
project operators to develop and to
build upon strategic alliances with
public and private sector partners as a
means of serving eligible businesses
within each NABEC applicable
geographical service area.
This notice amends MBDA’s prior
Federal Register notice dated May 11,
2007 (72 FR 26783), to allow for up to
a 12-month funded extension, on a noncompetitive basis, of the overall award
period for the following two NABECs:
New Mexico NABEC (American Indian
Chamber of Commerce); and the
Oklahoma NABEC (Rural Enterprises of
Oklahoma, Inc.). MBDA is taking this
action to allow for continued program
delivery by the incumbent NABEC
operators while MBDA completes the
competitive solicitation and award
processes for the next 3-year award
period for these projects.

The allowable award extensions and
additional funding set forth herein will
be made at the sole discretion of MBDA
and the Department of Commerce
(Department). In making such
determinations, the following factors
will be considered: (1) Whether the
NABEC operator is currently performing
at a ‘‘Satisfactory’’ (or better) program
performance level at the time the Grants
Officer approves the extension; (2) the
availability of appropriated funds; and
(3) MBDA and Department priorities.
The project’s performance rating will be
evaluated through the standardized
performance reports and assessments
required under the NABEC Program.
In no event will MBDA or the
Department of Commerce be responsible
to cover any costs incurred outside of
the current award period by the
incumbent operators of the NABEC
projects affected by this notice if these
NABEC projects are delayed, suspended
or cancelled because of other MBDA or
Department priorities. Publication of
this announcement does not oblige
MBDA or the Department to award any
extensions or to obligate any available
funds for such purpose.
Department of Commerce Pre-Award
Notification Requirements for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements
The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for
Grants and Cooperative Agreements
contained in the February 11, 2008
Federal Register notice (73 FR 7696) are
applicable to this notice.
Executive Order 12866
This notice has been determined to be
not significant for purposes of E.O.
12866.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
It has been determined that this notice
does not contain policies with
Federalism implications as that term is
defined in Executive Order 13132.
Administrative Procedure Act/
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act for rules
concerning public property, loans,
grants, benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C.
553(a)(2)). Because notice and
opportunity for comment are not
required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore,
a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512 and Executive
Order 11625.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 28, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of honey
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period
December 1, 2006--November 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation
in Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008) (``Initiation''). On April 2,
2008, after receiving comments on U.S. Customs and Border Protection
data, the Department selected the mandatory respondents for this
review. From May
[[Page 46589]]
9, 2008 to July 11, 2008, the participating mandatory respondent
responded to the Department's questionnaire and subsequent supplemental
questionnaires. On June 10, 2008 the Department selected an additional
mandatory respondent, which did not respond to the Department's initial
antidumping duty questionnaire or the Department's second antidumping
duty questionnaire. The preliminary results of this administrative
review are currently due on September 2, 2008.
Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results
The Department determines that completion of the preliminary
results of this review within the statutory time period is not
practicable, given the extraordinarily complicated nature of the
proceeding. Although this administrative review covers one company, the
Department requires more time to gather and analyze a significant
amount of information pertaining to this company's corporate structure
and ownership, sales practices, and manufacturing methods. Lastly, the
Department requires additional time to analyze the questionnaire
responses and to issue supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, given
the number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the
Act''), we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary
results of review by 75 days until November 15, 2008. The final results
continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary
results.
This notice is published pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
