Asociacion de Cooperativas Argentinas
(ACA) requested an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from Argentina for the period
December 1, 2007, through November
30, 2008. On December 31, 2008, the
American Honey Producers Association
and the Sioux Honey Association
(collectively, petitioners) requested an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on honey from
Argentina for the period December 1,
2007, through November 30, 2008, with
respect to 17 Argentine producers/
exporters. Also on December 31, 2008,

review of the antidumping duty order
on honey from Argentina for the period
December 1, 2007, through November
30, 2008. ACA and Nexco were
included in the petitioners’ request for
review.
On February 2, 2009, the Department
initiated a review of the 17 companies
for which an administrative review was
requested. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 74 FR 5821

Rescission, in Part, of the Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations provides that
the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the
Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing
the request.
Both petitioners and Nexco withdrew
their review requests after the 90-day
deadline. However, the Department
finds it reasonable to extend the
withdrawal deadline for Nexco and
petitioners because the Department has
not yet devoted significant time or
resources to this review. Further, we
find that neither petitioners’ nor
Nexco’s withdrawal of their requests for
a review of Nexco constitutes an abuse
of our procedures. See, e.g., Persulfates
from the People’s Republic of China:
Notice of Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR
13810, 13811 (March 17, 2006). As a
result, we are rescinding this review
with regard to Nexco.
Assessment
The Department will issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) 15 days after the
publication of this notice. The
Department will direct CBP to assess
antidumping duties for Nexco at the
cash deposit rate in effect on the date of
entry for entries during the period
December 1, 2007 to November 30,
2008.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
section 351.402(f) of the Department’s

regulations to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this period of
time. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders (APOs)
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to APO of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with section 351.305(a)(3) of the
Department’s regulations. Timely
written notification of the return or
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 sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 351.213(d)(4) of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NMFS Alaska Region administers the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab
Rationalization Program (Program) in
the North Pacific. Fishing under the
Program began in August 15, 2005.
Regulations implementing the Program
are set forth at 50 CFR part 680.
The Program is a limited access
system authorized by section 313(j) of
the Magnuson–Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson–Stevens Act). The Program
includes a cost recovery provision to
collect fees to recover the actual costs
directly related to the management and
enforcement of the Program. NMFS
developed the cost recovery provision to
conform to statutory requirements and
to partially reimburse the agency for the
unique added costs of management and
enforcement of the Program. Section
313(j) of the Magnuson–Stevens Act
provided supplementary authority to
section 304(d)(2)(A) and additional
detail for cost recovery provisions
specific to the Program. The cost
recovery provision allows collection of
133 percent of the actual management,
data collecting, and enforcement costs
up to three percent of the ex–vessel
value of crab harvested under the
Program. Additionally, section 313(j)
requires the harvesting and processing
sectors to each pay half the cost
recovery fees. Catcher/processor quota
share holders are required to pay the
full fee percentage for crab processed at
sea.
A crab allocation holder generally
incurs a cost recovery fee liability for
every pound of crab landed. The crab
allocations include Individual Fishing
Quota, Crew Individual Fishing Quota,
Individual Processing Quota,
Community Development Quota, and
the Adak community allocation. The
Registered Crab Receiver (RCR) permit
holder must collect the fee liability from
the crab allocation holder who is
landing crab. Additionally, the RCR
permit holder must collect his or her
own fee liability for all crab delivered to
the RCR. The RCR permit holder is
responsible for submitting this payment
to NMFS on or before the due date of
July 31, following the crab fishing year
in which landings of crab were made.
The dollar amount of the fee due is
determined by multiplying the fee
percentage (not to exceed three percent)
