AGENCY: Background On August 12, 2003, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published in the Federal Register, the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’).1 On March 31, 2011, the Department published a notice of initiation of a new shipper review with respect to Thuan An Production Trading & Services Co., Ltd. (‘‘TAFISHCO’’) covering the period August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.2 On September 27, 2011, the Department published a notice of an extension of the time period for the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 45 days, to November 4, 2011.3 Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order 180 days after the date on which the new shipper review was initiated. The Department may however, extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 days if it determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated.

DATES: Effective Date: November 10, 2011. SUMMARY: On September 14, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the final results of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). See Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Rescission in Part, 76 FR 56732 (September 14, 2011) (Final Results). The period of review is February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010. We are amending our final results to correct a ministerial error. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Baker, Scott Hoefke, or Robert James, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:38 Nov 09, 2011 Jkt 226001 telephone: (202) 482–2924, (202) 482– 4947 or (202) 482–0649, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2) states that a party to an antidumping duty proceeding must file comments concerning ministerial errors within five days after the earlier of the date on which the Secretary released documents to that party or held a disclosure meeting with that party. We released disclosure documents to Blue Field (Sichuan) Food Industrial Co., Ltd. (‘‘Blue Field’’) and Zhejiang Iceman Group, Co., Ltd. (‘‘Iceman Group’’) on September 7, 2011. On September 12, 2011, Blue Field filed a timely allegation of a ministerial error with the Department. On September 14, 2011, the Department released disclosure documents to Xiamen International Trade & Industrial Co., Ltd. (‘‘XITIC’’), thus establishing the deadline for XITIC’s ministerial error comments as September 19, 2011. On September 19, 2011, XITIC and Iceman Group filed allegations of ministerial errors with the Department. On September 26, 2011, Monterey Mushrooms, Inc. (petitioner) filed rebuttal comments in response to the filings from XITIC and Iceman Group. On October 5, 2011, the Department rejected from the record Iceman Group’s September 19, 2011, submission because it was untimely given that the Department released all disclosure materials to it on September 7, 2011. On October 7, 2011, Iceman Group submitted a letter arguing that its September 19, 2011, submission was not untimely because, inter alia, it actually had not received all disclosure materials on September 7, 2011. Specifically, Iceman Group claimed that it had not received the computation of the rate for the separate-rate respondents. The Department subsequently determined that it had indeed failed to release to interested parties the computation of the rate for the separate-rate respondents. Therefore, on October 18, 2011, the Department released this computation to all interested parties and also invited Iceman Group to resubmit its September 19, 2011, submission. No interested parties submitted ministerial error allegations with respect to the computation of the rate for the separate-rate respondents. Iceman Group resubmitted its ministerial error allegation on October 25, 2011. Ministerial Errors A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), includes PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error with the administering authority considers ministerial.’’ 1 In this review, interested parties have alleged a total of four ministerial errors. Æ Blue Field alleges that the Department erred in its normal value calculation by applying incorrect programming language regarding the cost of metal lids for tin can products. Æ XITIC alleges that the Department erred in failing to value labor using the methodology announced in Antidumping Methodologies in Proceedings Involving Non-Market Economics: Valuing the Factor of Production: Labor, 76 FR 36092 (June 21, 2011). Æ XITIC also alleges the Department used an incorrect surrogate value for its lime input. Æ Iceman Group alleges the Department made a clerical error by including Iceman Group in the proceedings. No interested party commented on Blue Field’s allegation. After analyzing Blue Field’s allegation, we find, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that the Department made a ministerial error in its normal value calculation by applying incorrect programming language regarding the cost of metal lids for tin can products.. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results for Blue Field and the weighted-average margin for companies that applied for separate-rate status. For details, see Memorandum from Scott Hoefke to the File, Subject: ‘‘Analysis of Data Submitted by Blue Field (Sichuan) Food Industrial Co., Ltd. (Blue Field) in the Amended Final Results of Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. With respect to both of XITIC’s allegations, petitioners argue that they constitute methodological issues, and not ministerial errors. After analyzing the interested parties’ allegations and reply comments regarding XITIC, we find, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act, that the allegations made by XITIC challenge methodological determinations in the final results, rather than any clerical errors made in carrying out its intentions. XITIC cited no record 1 See E:\FR\FM\10NON1.SGM also 19 CFR 351.224(f). 10NON1

Background

    On August 12, 2003, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register, the antidumping duty order on 
certain frozen fish fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
(``Vietnam'').\1\ On March 31, 2011, the Department published a notice 
of initiation of a new shipper review with respect to Thuan An 
Production Trading & Services Co., Ltd. (``TAFISHCO'') covering the 
period August 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.\2\ On September 27, 
2011, the Department published a notice of an extension of the time 
period for the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 45 
days, to November 4, 2011.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1), 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary results in a new 
shipper review of an antidumping duty order 180 days after the date on 
which the new shipper review was initiated. The Department may however, 
extend the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of a new 
shipper review to 300 days if it determines that the case is 
extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

[[Page 70112]]

    The Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues. Interested parties 
have submitted voluminous surrogate country comments and surrogate 
value data, and thus, the Department requires additional time to 
analyze these data. We are, therefore, further extending the time for 
the completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 
31 days to December 5, 2011. The final results continue to be due 90 
days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.

    Dated: November 4, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
