SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 10, 2001, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on honey from Argentina. See Order, 66 FR at 63672. Thus, the 
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina has a December 
anniversary month. On January 3, 2012, the Department received a timely 
filed request dated December 31, 2011, for a new shipper review from 
Danangie. In its request for a review, Danangie identified itself as an 
exporter of the subject merchandise. For the purpose of initiating this 
new shipper review, the Department determines that Danangie's 
submission was timely filed.
    Pursuant to the requirements set forth in section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), Danangie certified that (1) it did 
not export subject merchandise to the United States during the period 
of investigation (POI) (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i)); and (2) since the initiation of the 
investigation, it has never been affiliated with any company that 
exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI, 
including those companies not individually examined during the 
investigation (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A)). Furthermore, as required by 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2), Danangie's suppliers, Luis Hauser and Nestor Pezelatto, 
provided certifications that (1) they did not export the subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POI or at any time 
following the POI and (2) since the initiation of the investigation, 
they have never been affiliated with any company that exported subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POI, including those 
companies not individually examined during the investigation. 
Additionally, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Danangie 
submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) The date on 
which it first shipped subject merchandise to the United States; (2) 
the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to 
an unaffiliated purchaser for exportation to the United States. 
Danangie also stated it had no shipments to the United States during 
the period subsequent to its first shipment.

Initiation of Review

    Based on information on the record and in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we find that the 
request submitted by Danangie meets the statutory and regulatory 
requirements for initiation of a new shipper review. See Memorandum to 
the File, through Angelica L. Mendoza, Program Manager, regarding 
``Initiation of the Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review: Honey From 
Argentina,'' dated January 25, 2012 (Initiation Checklist). 
Accordingly, we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on honey from Argentina exported by Danangie, for the period 
December 1, 2010, through November 30, 2011. However, the Department 
has concerns with certain other information contained within the entry 
data received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Due to the 
business proprietary nature of this information, please refer to the 
Initiation Checklist for further discussion. The Department intends to 
address this issue after initiation of the new shipper review. If the 
Department subsequently determines, based on information collected, 
that a new shipper review for Danangie is not warranted, the Department 
may rescind the review or apply facts available pursuant to section 776 
of the Act, as appropriate.
    We intend to issue the preliminary results of this review no later 
than 180 days after the date on which this review is initiated, and the 
final results within 90 days after the date on which we issue the 
preliminary results. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(h)(i).
    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 certain entries of the subject merchandise 
exported by Danangie and produced by Luis Hauser or Nestor Pezelatto in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(e). Because Danangie certified that the sales of subject 
merchandise which form the basis for its new shipper review request 
were produced by Luis Hauser and Nestor Pezelatto, we will instruct CBP 
to permit the use of a bond only for entries of subject merchandise 
which Danangie exported and was produced by Luis Hauser or Nestor 
Pezelatto.
    Interested parties may submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and this notice are issued and published in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 
351.221(c)(1)(i).

    Dated: January 25, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
