telephone: (202) 482–4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:28 Apr 24, 2009
Jkt 217001
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with March
anniversary dates. We also received a
timely request to revoke in part the
antidumping duty order on Certain
Orange Juice from Brazil with respect to
one exporter.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind a review where
there are no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the
respective period of review (POR) listed
below. If a producer or exporter named
in this initiation notice had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it
should notify the Department within 30
days of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. The Department will
consider rescinding the review only if
the producer or exporter, as appropriate,
submits a properly filed and timely
statement certifying that it had no
exports, sales, or entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. All
submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and
are subject to verification in accordance
with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). Six copies
of the submission should be submitted
to the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on every party on the Department’s
service list.
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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991), 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). 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://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-seprate.html on the date of publication of
this Federal Register notice. 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 after
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.
Entities that currently do not have a
separate rate from a completed segment

19043
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 79 / Monday, April 27, 2009 / Notices
of the proceeding 1 should timely file a
Separate Rate Application to
demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. In addition,
companies that received a separate rate
in a completed segment of the
proceeding that have subsequently
made changes, including, but not
limited to, changes to corporate
structure, acquisitions of new
companies or facilities, or changes to
their official company name 2, should
timely file a Separate Rate Application
to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. The Separate
Rate Application will be available on
the Department’s Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html
on the date of publication of this
Federal Register notice. In responding
to the Separate Rate Application, refer
to the instructions contained in the
application. Separate Rate 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 Application applies
equally to NME-owned 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 March 31, 2010.

between the first and second or third
and fourth anniversary of the
publication of an antidumping duty
order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset
review), the Secretary, if requested by a
domestic interested party within 30
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the review, will
determine, consistent with FAG Italia v.
United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.

importer that is affiliated with such
exporter or producer. The request must
include the name(s) of the exporter or
producer for which the inquiry is
requested.
Interested parties must submit

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 the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), 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). 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://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on the date of publication of this Federal Register
notice. In responding to the certification, please follow the

Certification. Separate Rate Certifications are due to the Department
no later than 30 calendar days after 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.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment
[[Page 19043]]
of the proceeding \1\ should timely file a Separate Rate Application to
demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this proceeding. In
addition, companies that received a separate rate in a completed
segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made changes,
including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name \2\, should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on the
Department's Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on
the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding
to the Separate Rate Application, refer to the instructions contained
in the application. Separate Rate 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 Application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and export
subject merchandise to the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently complete
segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\2\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Certification.

During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine,
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by
an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject
merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is
affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the
name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO
Procedures (73 FR 3634). Those procedures apply to administrative
reviews included in this notice of initiation. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these administrative reviews should ensure that
they meet the requirements of these procedures (e.g., the filing of
separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)).
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1765(a)), and
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: April 21, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
