Certain Orange Juice From Brazil: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 30504-30505 [2012-12512]

Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 30504 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2012 / Notices of the Department’s regulations, a notice of the initiation of a circumvention inquiry issued under section 351.225(e) of the Department’s regulations includes a description of the product that is the subject of the circumvention inquiry— uncovered innerspring units that contain the characteristics as provided in the scope of the Order, and an explanation of the reasons for the Department’s decision to initiate a circumvention inquiry, as provided below. With regard to whether the merchandise from the Malaysia is of the same class or kind as the merchandise produced in the PRC, Petitioner has presented information to the Department indicating that, pursuant to section 781(b)(1)(A) of the Act, the merchandise being produced in and/or exported from Malaysia by Reztec may be of the same class or kind as uncovered innerspring units produced in the PRC, which is subject to the Order. Consequently, the Department finds that Petitioner has provided sufficient information in its request regarding the class of kind of merchandise to support the initiation of a circumvention inquiry. With regard to completion or assembly of merchandise in a foreign country, pursuant to section 781(b)(1)(B) of the Act, Petitioner has also presented information to the Department indicating that the uncovered innerspring units exported from Malaysia to the United States are assembled by Reztec in Malaysia using key components from the PRC that account for a significant portion of the total costs related to the production of uncovered innerspring units. We find that the information presented by Petitioner regarding this criterion supports its request to initiate a circumvention inquiry. The Department finds that Petitioner sufficiently addressed the factors described in section 781(b)(1)(C) and 781(b)(2) of the Act regarding whether the assembly or completion of uncovered innerspring units in the Malaysia is minor or insignificant. Specifically, in support of its argument, Petitioner relied on its own experience and surrogate values from the less-thanfair-value investigation. Thus, we find that the information presented by Petitioner supports their request to initiate a circumvention inquiry. In particular, we find that Petitioner’s submission asserts that: (1) Little investment has been made by Reztec in its uncovered innerspring unit operations in Malaysia; (2) Reztec has fully integrated production facilities in the PRC, and therefore, research and VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:00 May 22, 2012 Jkt 226001 development presumably takes place in the PRC rather than the Malaysia; (3) the assembly or completion of key uncovered innerspring unit components in Malaysia does not alter the fundamental characteristics of the uncovered innerspring unit, nor does it remove it from the scope of the Order; (4) Reztec has a lower investment level than other companies that produce uncovered innerspring units; and (5) further assembly or completion of key uncovered innerspring unit components in Malaysia adds little value to the merchandise imported to the United States. Our analysis will focus on Reztec’s assembly operations in the Malaysia and, in the context of this proceeding, we will closely examine the manner in which this company’s processing materials are obtained, whether those materials are considered subject to the scope of the Order, and the extent of processing in Malaysia, as well as the manner in which production and sales relationships are conducted with the alleged PRC suppliers. With respect to the value of the merchandise produced in the PRC, pursuant to section 781(b)(1)(D) of the Act, Petitioner relied on its own production experience in the PRC and arguments in the ‘‘minor or insignificant process’’ portion of its circumvention request to indicate that the value of the key components produced in the PRC may be significant relative to the total value of the finished uncovered innerspring units exported to the United States. We find that this information adequately meets the requirements of this factor, as discussed above, for the purposes of initiating a circumvention inquiry. Finally, with respect to the additional factors listed under section 781(b)(3) of the Act, we find that imports of uncovered innerspring units from Malaysia has increased steadily since the imposition of the Order and that imports of uncovered innerspring units and key components from the PRC to Malaysia also have increased since the Order took effect. In accordance with section 351.225(l)(2) of the Department’s regulations, if the Department issues a preliminary affirmative determination, we will then instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties on the merchandise. This circumvention inquiry covers Reztec. If, within sufficient time, the Department receives a formal request from an interested party regarding potential circumvention of the Order by other Malaysian companies, we will PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 consider conducting additional inquiries concurrently. The Department will establish a schedule for questionnaires and comments on the issues. In accordance with section 351.225(f)(5) of the Department’s regulations, the Department intends to issue its final determination within 300 days of the date of publication of this initiation, in accordance with section 781(f) of the Act. This notice is published in accordance with section 351.225(f) of the Department’s regulations. Dated: May 17, 2012.
