Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent increase in antidumping
duties by the amount of antidumping
and/or countervailing duties
reimbursed.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). Timely

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Garofalo
Regarding Garofalo, based on our analysis of the comments received,
we have made no changes in calculating the dumping margin. Garofalo
submitted a comment in its case brief regarding the Department's draft
liquidation instructions. Based on our analysis of this comment, we
find that, because the particular importer-specific rate referenced by
Garofalo in its case brief is a de minimis rate, the Department has
revised its liquidation instructions for this certain importer-specific
rate to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to
liquidate at a rate of zero percent. See Issues and Decision Memorandum
at Comment 2.
Regarding Tomasello, based on our analysis of the comments
received, we have made no changes in calculating the dumping margin.
See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average margins exist for
the period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Manufacturer/exporter (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garofalo................................................... 3.20
Tomasello.................................................. 4.18
Review-Specific Average Rate \5\ Applicable to the 3.57
Following Companies:......................................
Agritalia, Erasmo, Indalco, Labor, PAM, P.A.P., Afeltra,
Fabianelli, Riscossa, Rummo, and Rustichella \6\..........
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duty Assessment
The Department shall determine and CBP shall assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
the Department calculates an assessment rate for each importer of the
subject merchandise for each respondent. Upon issuance of the final
results of this administrative review, if any importer-specific
assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis
(i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), the Department will issue appraisement
instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on
appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ This rate is a weighted-average percentage margin
(calculated based on the publicly ranged U.S. values of the two
reviewed companies with an affirmative dumping margin) for the
period July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. See Memorandum to the
File, titled, ``Pasta from Italy: Margin for Respondents Not
Selected for Individual Examination,'' from Joy Zhang and George
McMahon, Case Analysts, through James Terpstra, Program Manager,
dated August 1, 2011.
\6\ The non-selected companies are: Agritalia S.r.L.
(``Agritalia''), Domenico Paone fu Erasmo S.p.A. (``Erasmo''),
Industria Alimentare Colavita, S.p.A. (``Indalco''), Labor S.r.L.
(``Labor''), PAM S.p.A. and its affiliate, Liguori Pastificio dal
1820 SpA (``PAM''), P.A.P. SNC Di Pazienza G.B. & C. (``P.A.P''),
Premiato Pastificio Afeltra S.r.L. (``Afeltra''), Pastificio
Fabianelli S.p.A. (``Fabianelli''), Pastificio Riscossa F.lli
Mastromauro S.p.A. (``Riscossa''), Rummo S.p.A. Molino e Pastificio
(``Rummo''), and Rustichella d'Abruzzo S.p.A (``Rustichella'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we calculated importer (or
customer)-specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing
this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer
(or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate
is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable
entered values, we apply the assessment rate to the entered value of
the importer's/customer's entries during the review period. Where an
importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de
minimis and we do not have reliable entered values, we calculate a per-
unit assessment rate by aggregating the dumping duties due for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the
total quantity sold to that importer (or customer).
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the
POR produced by the respondent for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following antidumping duty deposit rates will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of pasta from Italy entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
[[Page 76939]]
consumption on or after the publication date of these final results, as
provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act): (1) The cash deposit rate for companies subject to this
review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than 0.5 percent and, therefore, de
minimis, no cash deposit will be required; (2) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, but was covered in a previous review or
the original less-than-fair-value (``LTFV'') investigation, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate established
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the LTFV investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise;
and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered
by this review, a prior review, or the LTFV investigation, the cash
deposit rate will be 15.45 percent, the all-others rate established in
the Section 129 determination. See Implementation of the Findings of
the WTO Panel in US--Zeroing (EC): Notice of Determinations Under
Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and Revocations and
Partial Revocations of Certain Antidumping Duty Orders, 72 FR 25261
(May 4, 2007). These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent increase in antidumping duties by
the amount of antidumping and/or countervailing duties reimbursed.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). 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 sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 2, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
