SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 13, 2007, the CIT remanded the following issues to the Department for further administrative proceedings consistent with its opinion and Order: 1) the calculation of the raw honey surrogate value; 2) the calculation of VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:27 Dec 10, 2008 Jkt 217001 surrogate financial ratios with respect to (a) the treatment of honey sales commissions and (b) the treatment of jars, corks, and honey machine purchases; and 3) the use of export price sales for Jinfu Trading Co., Ltd.’s (‘‘Jinfu’’) U.S. sales. See Shanghai Eswell Enterprise, Co., Ltd., et. al. v. United States, Slip Op. 07–138 (CIT September 13, 2007) (‘‘Eswell I’’), at 17– 18. Pursuant to the CIT’s remand instructions, we: 1) addressed record evidence which indicated a decline in export prices during the second half of the POR and explained why we have refrained from considering these data in calculating a surrogate value for raw honey; 2) (a) discussed evidence which reflects an exact correlation between the selling commission expenses incurred by respondents, and those incurred by the surrogate financial company and further explained our decision in the Final Results that the record evidence was insufficient to permit a circumstances of sale adjustment, as well as (b) revised our financial ratio calculations to include reported expenses for jars and corks as direct materials used for producing finished honey and provided further explanation regarding our finding that honey machine purchases do not constitute direct expenses; and 3) addressed the CIT’s findings with respect to operational control, and explained our continued finding, in accordance with our decision in the Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand: Jinfu Trading Co., Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 04–00597, Slip Op. 07–95 (CIT June 13, 2007). On January 15, 2008, the Department released the Draft Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand to interested parties.

On February 11, 2008, the Department filed its final results of redetermination pursuant to Eswell I with the CIT. See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand: Shanghai Eswell Enterprise Co., Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 06– 00430 (February 11, 2008). In responding to the CIT’s questions and reassessing the record evidence, we determined it was appropriate to revise our financial ratio calculations to include, as direct materials used to producing finished honey, expenses for jars and corks. Thus, the Department revised, as appropriate, the surrogate financial ratios of the margin calculations for Eswell Enterprise Co., Ltd., Jinfu and Zhejiang Native Produce PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75393 and Animal By–Products Import & Export Group Corp. On November 18, 2008, the CIT sustained all aspects of the redetermination made by the Department pursuant to the CIT’s remand of the Final Results. In Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, the CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), the Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Department determination, and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s decision in Eswell II on November 18, 2008, constitutes a decision of the court that is not in harmony with the Department’s Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. In the event the CIT’s ruling is not appealed or, if appealed, upheld by the CAFC, the Department will publish an amended final results and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to revise the cash deposit rates covering the subject merchandise and to assess antidumping duties on entries of the subject merchandise during the POR based on the revised assessment rates calculated by the Department.

Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Commerce (Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that 
revocation of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail 
meat (crawfish) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) would likely 
lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to 
an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice 
of continuation for the antidumping duty order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 11, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Lyn Johnson or Minoo Hatten, AD/CVD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2008, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted 
the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on crawfish from 
the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five&year (``Sunset'') Review, 73 
FR 37411 (July 1, 2008); see also Institution of a Fiv&year Review 
Concerning the Antidumping Duty Order on Crawfish Tail Meat from China, 
73 FR 37489 (July 1, 2008).
    As a result of its review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty order on crawfish from the PRC would 
likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail 
should the order be revoked. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Second Expedited 
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 73 FR 65832 (November 5, 
2008).
    On November 25, 2008, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
crawfish from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence 
of material injury to an industry in the United States within a 
reasonable foreseeable future. See Crawfish Tail Meat from China (Inv. 
No. 731-TA-752 (Second Review)), USITC Publication 4047 (November 25, 
2008); see also Crawfish Tail Meat from China, 73 FR 72833 (December 1,

are reserved for fish and crustaceans in general. The HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes only. The written 
description of the scope of this order is dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of these determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United states, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping 
duty order on crawfish from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in 
effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
