Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Taiwan: Final Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 17950-17951 [E9-9018]

Download as PDF 17950 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 74 / Monday, April 20, 2009 / Notices rmajette on PRODPC74 with NOTICES meaning of the split pea class, ‘‘Winter Split Peas.’’ The introduction of an amended whole dry pea class, ‘‘Mottled Peas,’’ which includes both spring and fall planted peas, requires that the current winter split pea definition be expanded to be more inclusive, and the descriptive classification term be changed to be more representative of the whole peas used in the production of this type of split pea. GIPSA believes that the classification term, ‘‘Miscellaneous Split Peas,’’ would be appropriate. Proposed changes in the general definition of split peas, as well as the specific classification definitions, are also being made to bring them more in line with those being proposed for whole dry peas. Proposed GIPSA Action GIPSA is proposing to revise select descriptive classification terms and definitions to allow new and future winter dry pea releases to be marketed as smooth yellow or green dry peas, and preserve purity of class by grouping colored or distinctively mottled peas (i.e., traditional winter dry and maple peas), regardless of planting date. GIPSA is proposing to revise the definitions for the following classes as follows: 1. ‘‘Whole Dry Peas.’’ Threshed seeds of the garden type pea plant (Pisum sativum L. and Pisum sativum var. arvense (L.) Poir.) which after the removal of dockage, contain 50 percent or more of whole peas and not more than 10.0 percent of foreign material. 2. ‘‘Smooth Yellow Dry Peas.’’ Dry peas which have smooth seed coats and yellow cotyledons and contain not more than 1.5 percent of other classes. 3. ‘‘Smooth Green Dry Peas.’’ Dry peas which have smooth seed coats and green cotyledons and contain not more than 1.5 percent of other classes. 4. ‘‘Wrinkled Dry Peas.’’ Dry peas which have wrinkled seed coats and contain not more than 1.5 percent of other classes. 5. ‘‘Split Peas.’’ Threshed seeds of the garden type pea plant (Pisum sativum L. and Pisum sativum var. arvense (L.) Poir.) which have 50 percent or more of the peas split into halves or smaller pieces and contain not more than 10.0 percent of foreign material. 6. ‘‘Green Split Peas.’’ Split peas from smooth green dry pea varieties. 7. ‘‘Yellow Split Peas.’’ Split peas from smooth yellow dry pea varieties. In addition, GIPSA proposes to replace the classification term and definition of ‘‘Winter Dry Peas’’ and ‘‘Winter Split Peas’’ with ‘‘Mottled Dry Peas’’ and ‘‘Miscellaneous Split Peas,’’ respectively. The proposed changes read as follows: VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:02 Apr 17, 2009 Jkt 217001 1. ‘‘Mottled Dry Peas.’’ Dry peas of the Austrian winter pea type and other peas which have colored or distinctively mottled seed coats which contain not more than 1.5 percent of other classes. 2. ‘‘Miscellaneous Split Peas.’’ Split peas from classes of whole peas other than smooth green or smooth yellow dry pea varieties. Taking into account the nature of the proposed changes, GIPSA will solicit comments for 30 days in order to help facilitate the marketing of whole dry peas and split peas. All comments received will be considered by GIPSA before final action is taken on the proposal. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627. Alan R. Christian, Acting Administrator, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration. [FR Doc.

However, if it is not practicable to PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17951 complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 180 days. Completion of the final results of these reviews within the 120-day period is not practicable because the Department will conduct verification in the administrative review and one new shipper review after publication of the preliminary results and, therefore, needs additional time to complete verification reports, to provide an opportunity for comments by interested parties, and to analyze these comments by interested parties on the preliminary results and verification reports, and analyze information gathered at verification. Because it is not practicable to complete these reviews within the time specified under the Act, we are fully extending the time period for issuing the final results of the administrative and new shipper reviews in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
