Uncovered Innerspring Units From the People's Republic of China: Extension of Final Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 65695-65696 [2011-27449]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 205 / Monday, October 24, 2011 / Notices This practice in NME proceedings will be consistent with the application of the same liquidation practice in market economy (‘‘ME’’) proceedings. The goal of this practice in ME proceedings, the accurate assignment of duties based on information obtained in a review, is not unique to ME proceedings but is necessary in all antidumping proceedings. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). Interested parties have the right to request an administrative review of their entries, or to participate in an administrative review, to ensure that the entries are liquidated at the rate the interested party believes is proper. See 19 CFR 351.103, et seq. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Applicability The Department intends to apply the policy to all non-reviewed entries from exporters which are selected for individual examination, whether or not the Department is aware of the involvement of a third party. Additionally, if the Department determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the NME-wide rate. See Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative review, 75 FR 56989 (September 17, 2010). This refinement will not apply to entries suspended at the cash deposit rate for exporters for which a review is not initiated. Nor does this refinement apply to entries suspended at the rate of exporters under review but which are not selected for individual examination (i.e., the separate rate companies), except where the Department has determined that the exporter had no shipments covered by the review. Definition of Exporter In response to the Proposed Policy, certain parties argued that the Department should clarify the term ‘‘exporter’’ for this refinement in practice to provide notice to the importers regarding which entity the importer should consider to be the exporter in a multi-leg transaction for the purpose of claiming the correct cash deposit rate and having the entry liquidated in accordance with that expectation. Because of the variances in commercial practice, it is the Department’s established practice to evaluate an export transaction on a caseby-case basis within the context of an administrative review or investigation. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:34 Oct 21, 2011 Jkt 226001 Within the framework of an administrative review, the Department is able to examine additional documentation to decide which entity was the exporter for purposes of making NME AD determinations. Because the importer is the party most likely to have the best information and appropriate documentation regarding the transactions relevant to the entries, the Department considers it to be the importer’s responsibility to ensure that the documentation of the sales transaction supports the cash deposit rate the importer claims for its entries. In order to facilitate the proper identification of the exporter, the Department will coordinate with CBP to provide guidance to importers. Likewise, as explained above, any interested party can file a notice of appearance with the Department to ensure that its entries are liquidated in accordance with its expectations. Implementation As stated in the Proposed Policy, the Department intends to apply this policy to all entries for which the anniversary month for requesting an administrative review is the month after the date of publication of this final notice. See Proposed Policy. This implementation is consistent with our ME Reseller Practice and with the Federal Circuit’s opinion in Parkdale Int’l v. United States, 475 F.3d 1375, 1378–79 (CAFC 2007) (‘‘the primary effect of the policy is prospective, i.e., it applies to liquidations post-dating its adoption, [accordingly] we conclude that its effect cannot properly be considered impermissibly retroactive’’). Therefore, this policy refinement will apply to all relevant entries, regardless of when entered, for which the anniversary month for requesting a review of the order is November, 2011 or later. Dated: October 17, 2011. Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

Background

    On August 4, 2011, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the Preliminary Results of the new shipper review of innersprings from

``Act''), and section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations, 
require the Department to issue the final results in a new shipper

under review. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 
the Act, and section 351.214(i)(2) of the Department's regulations, we
