Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 191 / Monday, October 4, 2010 / Notices consistent with that provided by Shanghai Colour. jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Period of Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for a new shipper review initiated in the month immediately following the anniversary month will be the twelve-month period immediately preceding the anniversary month. Therefore, under this order, the POR is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. The sales and entries into the United States of subject merchandise exported by Shanghai Colour and produced by Wuxi Colour occurred during this twelve-month POR. Therefore, the POR for this new shipper is August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. Initiation of New Shipper Reviews Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214, the Department finds that Shanghai Colour meets the threshold requirements for initiation of a NSR for the shipment of steel nails from the PRC produced by Wuxi Colour and exported by Shanghai Colour. See ‘‘Memorandum to the File From Emeka Chukwudebe, Case Analyst, New Shipper Initiation Checklist: Certain Steel Nails from the People’s Republic of China (A–570– 909),’’ dated concurrently with this notice. The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR no later than 180 days from the date of initiation, and the final results no later than 90 days from the issuance of the preliminary determination. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. It is the Department’s usual practice, in cases involving non–market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country–wide rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government control over the company’s export activities. Accordingly, we will issue a questionnaire to Shanghai Colour which will include a section requesting information with regard to Shanghai Colour’s export activities for separate rates purposes. The review will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that Shanghai Colour is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its export of subject merchandise. We will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the subject merchandise from Shanghai Colour in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:23 Oct 01, 2010 Jkt 223001 and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Shanghai Colour certified that its subject merchandise was produced by Wuxi Colour, we will apply the bonding privilege to Shanghai Colour only for subject merchandise produced by Wuxi Colour. Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in this NSR should submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306. This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). Dated: September 28, 2010. Susan H. Kuhbach, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
