Extension of Application Period for Seats for the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council, 23793-23794 [2011-10243]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2011 / Notices screening process were not commercially available at the time of the investigation. Petitioners supported this allegation with affidavits from the Presidents of two of the petitioners.17 Comments From Commercial Packaging On April 8, 2011, Commercial Packaging submitted comments to the Department stating there is no basis for initiation of the anti-circumvention inquiry because sacks printed with two colors in register are not later-developed products of the subject sacks. Specifically, Commercial Packaging contends that an anti-circumvention inquiry is not warranted because the anti-circumvention provisions of the statute do not apply to merchandise that is originally unambiguously outside the scope of the Orders and, here, sacks printed with less than three colors in register are excluded from the Orders.18 Commercial Packaging also argues that the sacks at issue are not laterdeveloped merchandise because sacks printed with two colors in register were available during the investigation and the screening process is decades old.19 Analysis of Commercial Packaging Comments We disagree with Commercial Packaging’s contention that an anticircumvention inquiry is not warranted in this case for the reason that sacks printed with two colors in register are expressly excluded from the Orders. The language of the Orders does not discuss laminated woven sacks printed with two colors in register using a screening process. Therefore, unlike in Wheatland Tube,20 as cited by Commercial Packaging, we conclude that the Orders do not expressly exclude the merchandise under consideration. Although the Department previously concluded in a scope ruling that found sacks printed with two colors in register to be outside the scope of the Orders, we are not precluded from now conducting an anti-circumvention inquiry because the factors to be considered in 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) are not the same factors as those required under section 781(d)(1) of the Act.21 Furthermore, by its very id. at Exhibits 11 and 12. Notice of Scope Rulings, 75 FR 14138 (March 24, 2010) (Shapiro Packaging’s three imported sacks are outside the scope of the orders (July 29, 2009)). 19 See Commercial Packaging’s submission, dated April 8, 2011. 20 See Wheatland Tube Co. v. United States, 161 F.3d 1365, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 1998) (‘‘Wheatland Tube’’). 21 See Later-Developed Merchandise Anticircumvention Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty Order on Petroleum Wax Candles from the People’s Republic of China: Affirmative Final nature, a later-developed merchandise anti-circumvention inquiry examines merchandise that is either excluded from, or has been designed to elude, an order.22 Thus, later-developed merchandise cannot pose a threat of injury to the domestic industry at the time of the order, because it either does not exist or is not commercially available. We also disagree with Commercial Packaging’s argument that information supporting the existence of sacks printed with two-colors in register prior to the investigation demonstrates that the sacks at issue here are not laterdeveloped merchandise. We find the fact that sacks printed with two colors in register alone existed prior to the investigation is not relevant to our inquiry because the issue presented by this inquiry is whether sacks that are printed with two colors in register and with the use of a screen process constitute later-developed merchandise within the meaning of 781(d) of the Act. Commercial Packaging does not provide evidence that the screening process used in the production of laminated woven sacks was commercially available during or before the investigation. Initiation of Later-Developed Merchandise Antidumping and Countervailing Duty AntiCircumvention Inquiry Based on the information provided by Petitioners, the Department finds that there is sufficient basis to initiate an antidumping and countervailing duty anti-circumvention inquiry pursuant to section 781(d) of the Act to determine whether laminated woven sacks produced using two ink colors printed in register and a screening process are later-developed products that can be considered subject to the Orders under the later-developed merchandise provision. As a result, we are initiating this inquiry under section 781(d) of the Act. The Department will not order the suspension of liquidation of entries of any additional merchandise at this time. However, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), if the Department issues 17 See srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 18 See VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Apr 27, 2011 Jkt 223001 Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty Order, 71 FR 59075 (October 6, 2006) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2, remanded on other grounds, 578 F.

We intend to notify the International Trade Commission in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination of circumvention, in accordance with 781(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(f)(7)(i)(C), if applicable.
