Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that G J Steel is the
successor-in-interest to the former
Nakornthai Strip Mill Public Company
Limited (Nakornthai) for purposes of
this proceeding and application of the
antidumping law. We did not receive
comments on this issue and have no
reason to change our findings from the
Preliminary Results. For a complete
discussion of our successorship
analysis, see Preliminary Results, 74 FR
at 39051.
The Department also determined that
G Steel and G J Steel should be
collapsed and treated as a single entity
for purposes of this proceeding and
application of the antidumping law. Id.
at 39050. We received comments on this
issue which are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. We have
concluded for these Final Results that G
Steel and G J Steel should continue to
be collapsed and treated as a single
entity for purposes of this proceeding
and application of the antidumping law.
Finally, the Department preliminarily
determined to apply an adverse facts
available (AFA) rate of 20.30 percent to
the collapsed G Steel and G J Steel
entity. Id. at 39050. We also received
comments on this issue, which are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The Department has
concluded that the margin for G Steel
and G J Steel should be based upon
AFA.
Accordingly, we determine that G J
Steel is the successor-in-interest to
Nakornthai, and that the AFA rate of
20.30 percent should be applied to the
G Steel/G J Steel entity.
We determine therefore that the
following weighted-average margin
exists:
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of certain hotrolled carbon steel flat products from
Thailand entered, or withdrawn from

the exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the investigation, the cash deposit
rate will be 3.86 percent,1 the all-others

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are certain preserved mushrooms,
whether imported whole, sliced, diced,
or as stems and pieces. The certain
preserved mushrooms covered under
this order are the species Agaricus
bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis.
‘‘Certain Preserved Mushrooms’’ refers
to mushrooms that have been prepared
or preserved by cleaning, blanching, and
sometimes slicing or cutting. These
mushrooms are then packed and heated
in containers including, but not limited
to, cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid
medium, including, but not limited to,
water, brine, butter or butter sauce.
Certain preserved mushrooms may be
imported whole, sliced, diced, or as
stems and pieces. Included within the
scope of this order are ‘‘brined’’
mushrooms, which are presalted and
packed in a heavy salt solution to
provisionally preserve them for further
processing.1
1 On
June 19, 2000, the Department affirmed that
‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or ‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms
containing less than 0.5 percent acetic acid are
within the scope of the antidumping duty order.
See Recommendation Memorandum—Final Ruling
of Request by Tak Fat, et al. for Exclusion of Certain
Marinated, Acidified Mushrooms from the Scope of
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Preserved
Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China,’’
dated June 19, 2000. On February 9, 2005, this
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Excluded from the scope of this order
are the following: (1) All other species
of mushroom, including straw
mushrooms; (2) all fresh and chilled
mushrooms, including ‘‘refrigerated’’ or
‘‘quick blanched mushrooms;’’ (3) dried
mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and
(5) ‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or
‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms, which are
prepared or preserved by means of
vinegar or acetic acid, but may contain
oil or other additives.
The merchandise subject to this order
is classifiable under subheadings:
2003.10.0127, 2003.10.0131,
2003.10.0137, 2003.10.0143,

and Certain Forged Stainless Steel
Flanges From India: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review,
68 FR 351 (January 3, 2003). The
Department has determined that a
combination rate is appropriate in this
case, as Kangfa is both the producer and
exporter of the subject merchandise.
Therefore, the Department will include
in its cash deposit instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
appropriate language to enforce these
final results of new shipper review on
the basis of a combination rate involving
Kangfa as both the producer and
exporter of the subject merchandise.
Separate Rates
The Department has determined that
the following margin exists for the
period February 1, 2008, through
January 31, 2009:
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
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.
In the preliminary results, we found
that Kangfa demonstrated its eligibility
for separate rate status. We received no
comments from interested parties
regarding Kangfa’s separate rate status.
In these final results of review, we
continue to find the evidence placed on
the record by Kangfa demonstrates an
absence of government control, both in
law and in fact, with respect to Kangfa’s
exports of the merchandise under
review. Thus, we have determined that
Kangfa is eligible to receive a separate
rate.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made no changes to the
preliminary results.
Combination Rate
In new shipper reviews, the
Department may, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.107(b), establish a combination cash
deposit rate for each combination of the
exporter and its supplying producer(s).

Republic of China: Final Results of

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to these final results, the
Department determined, and CBP shall
assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
for Kangfa to CBP 15 days after the date
of publication of these final results of
new shipper review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we calculated importerspecific (or customer) ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of the dumping
margins calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales. We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review if any importer-specific (or
customer) assessment rate calculated in
the final results of this review is above
de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of new
shipper review for all shipments of
subject merchandise by Kangfa entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)

cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
subject merchandise exported by
Kangfa, but not manufactured by
Kangfa, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate (i.e.,
198.63 percent); and (3) for subject
merchandise manufactured by Kangfa,
but exported by any party other than
Kangfa, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the exporter. These
cash deposit requirements will remain
in effect until further notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this POR. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (the
Department) published an antidumping
duty order on ball bearings and parts
thereof from France on May 15, 1989.
See Antidumping Duty Orders: Ball
Bearings, Cylindrical Roller Bearings,
Spherical Plain Bearings, and Parts
Thereof From France, 54 FR 20902 (May
15, 1989). On August 11, 2000, the
Department revoked the order, effective
May 1, 1999, with respect to sales of ball
bearings by SNFA S.A. (subsequently
SNFA S.A.S.U.) (SNFA France). See

Part, 65 FR 49219, 49221 (August 11,
2000).
On March 2, 2007, pursuant to a
request from SNFA France, SKF France
S.A., and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S.,
we initiated a changed-circumstances
review in order to determine whether
SNFA France was a successor-ininterest to SKF France S.A. following
SNFA France’s acquisition by that
company or, alternatively, that postacquisition SNFA France was the
successor-in-interest to the pre-

acquisition SNFA France. See Ball
Bearings and Parts Thereof from France:
Initiation of an Antidumping Duty
Changed-Circumstances Review, 72 FR
9513 (March 2, 2007). During the course
of the changed-circumstances review,
the companies informed the Department
that SNFA France would be changing its
name to SKF Aeroengine.
On June 29, 2007, we initiated an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on ball bearings
and parts thereof from France for the
period May 1, 2006, through April 30,
2007, with respect to SKF France S.A.
and SKF Aerospace France S.A.S. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, Request for Revocation in Part
and Deferral of Administrative Review,
72 FR 35690 (June 29, 2007). On
October 26, 2007, we rescinded the
changed-circumstances review initiated
on March 2, 2007, and explained that,
because we had initiated an
administrative review with respect to
SKF France S.A. and SKF Aerospace
France S.A.S., we would address any
issues that had arisen during the course
of the changed-circumstances review in
the context of the administrative review.
See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof
from France and Italy: Rescission of
Antidumping Duty ChangedCircumstances Reviews, 72 FR 60798,
60799 (October 26, 2007). In the final
results of the 2006/07 administrative
review, we determined that postacquisition SNFA France was the
successor-in-interest to pre-acquisition
SNFA France and that SNFA France had
not changed its name to SKF
Aeroengine until after the period of
review. See Ball Bearings and Parts
Thereof From France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews and Rescission
of Reviews in Part, 73 FR 52823
(September 11, 2008), and
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 12 (AFBs
Final Results).
On February 6, 2009, SKF Aeroengine
requested that, because the Department
appeared to have left open the effect of
the name change from SNFA France to
SKF Aeroengine on its determination in
AFBs Final Results, the Department
either confirm that its determination
encompassed the name change or, in the
alternative, the Department initiate a
changed-circumstances review to
determine whether SKF Aeroengine is
the successor-in-interest to SNFA
France. On March 30, 2009, we initiated
a changed-circumstances review. See

Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary results
of the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain
preserved mushrooms from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Linyi
City Kangfa Foodstuff Drinkable Co., Ltd. (Kangfa). See Certain
Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary

to comment on the
[[Page 65521]]
Preliminary Results, and received no comments. We also made no changes
to the preliminary results for these final results. Therefore, the
final results do not differ from the preliminary results.
DATES: Effective Date: December 10, 2009.

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-
2924 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published the preliminary results for
this new shipper review on October 2, 2009. In the preliminary results
the Department stated that interested parties were to submit case
briefs within 30 days of publication of the preliminary results and
rebuttal briefs within five days after the due date for filing case
briefs. See Preliminary Results at 50951. No interested party submitted
a case or rebuttal brief.
Period of Review
The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2008, through January 31,
2009.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are certain preserved mushrooms,
whether imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces. The
certain preserved mushrooms covered under this order are the species
Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis. ``Certain Preserved
Mushrooms'' refers to mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved by
cleaning, blanching, and sometimes slicing or cutting. These mushrooms
are then packed and heated in containers including, but not limited to,
cans or glass jars in a suitable liquid medium, including, but not
limited to, water, brine, butter or butter sauce. Certain preserved
mushrooms may be imported whole, sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces.
Included within the scope of this order are ``brined'' mushrooms, which
are presalted and packed in a heavy salt solution to provisionally
preserve them for further processing.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On June 19, 2000, the Department affirmed that
``marinated,'' ``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms containing
less than 0.5 percent acetic acid are within the scope of the
antidumping duty order. See Recommendation Memorandum--Final Ruling
of Request by Tak Fat, et al. for Exclusion of Certain Marinated,
Acidified Mushrooms from the Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order on
Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China,''
dated June 19, 2000. On February 9, 2005, this decision was upheld
by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See
Tak Fat v. United States, 396 F.3d 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excluded from the scope of this order are the following: (1) All
other species of mushroom, including straw mushrooms; (2) all fresh and
chilled mushrooms, including ``refrigerated'' or ``quick blanched
mushrooms;'' (3) dried mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and (5)
``marinated,'' ``acidified,'' or ``pickled'' mushrooms, which are
prepared or preserved by means of vinegar or acetic acid, but may
contain oil or other additives.
The merchandise subject to this order is classifiable under
subheadings: 2003.10.0127, 2003.10.0131, 2003.10.0137, 2003.10.0143,
2003.10.0147, 2003.10.0153 and 0711.51.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.
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
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.
In the preliminary results, we found that Kangfa demonstrated its
eligibility for separate rate status. We received no comments from
interested parties regarding Kangfa's separate rate status. In these
final results of review, we continue to find the evidence placed on the
record by Kangfa demonstrates an absence of government control, both in
law and in fact, with respect to Kangfa's exports of the merchandise
under review. Thus, we have determined that Kangfa is eligible to
receive a separate rate.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made no changes to the preliminary results.
Combination Rate
In new shipper reviews, the Department may, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.107(b), establish a combination cash deposit rate for each
combination of the exporter and its supplying producer(s). See Fresh
Garlic From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of

Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 68 FR 351 (January 3,
2003). The Department has determined that a combination rate is
appropriate in this case, as Kangfa is both the producer and exporter
of the subject merchandise. Therefore, the Department will include in
its cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) appropriate language to enforce these final results of new
shipper review on the basis of a combination rate involving Kangfa as
both the producer and exporter of the subject merchandise.
Final Results of Review
The Department has determined that the following margin exists for
the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-Average
Exporter/Manufacturer margin (Percentage)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linyi City Kangfa Foodstuff Drinkable Co., Ltd... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to these final results, the Department determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions for Kangfa to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of these final results of new
shipper review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated
importer-specific (or customer) ad valorem duty assessment rates based
on the ratio of the total amount of the dumping margins calculated for
the examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales. We
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any importer-specific (or customer)
assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above
de minimis.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of new shipper review for all
shipments of subject merchandise by Kangfa entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
[[Page 65522]]
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) For subject
merchandise produced and exported by Kangfa, the cash deposit rate will
be zero; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Kangfa, but not
manufactured by Kangfa, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
PRC-wide rate (i.e., 198.63 percent); and (3) for subject merchandise
manufactured by Kangfa, but exported by any party other than Kangfa,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
These cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further
notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
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.
This new shipper review and notice are in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(h).
Dated: December 4, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
