The AFA rate of 305.56 percent selected here is from the investigation.20 This rate was calculated based on information contained in the petition, which was corroborated for the final determination. No additional information has been presented in the current review which calls into question the reliability or relevance of the information and the Department’s corroboration. The Department’s corroboration analysis of a PRC-wide rate was affirmed by the Court’s recent decision in The Watanabe Group v. United States, 2010 Lexis 144; Slip Op. 2010–139 (Ct. Int’l Trade Dec. 22, 2010), where the Court held that with no evidence specific to the review and no evidence questioning the prior corroboration of the PRC-wide rate, the Department may rely on the corroborated rate from an earlier segment of the proceeding because doing so is based on a reasonable inference from the current record. Therefore, the Department finds that the information continues to be reliable and relevant and therefore the rate is corroborated. Preliminary Results The Department has determined that the following preliminary dumping margin exists for the period November 1, 2010, through October 31, 2011: Producer/manufacturer PRC-Wide Entity (which includes CMN) .....................

We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity (including CMN) at the PRC-wide rate. Cash Deposit Requirements If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results, then the following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject 20 See Antidumping Duty Order: Pure Magnesium in Granular Form From the People’s Republic of China, 66 FR 57936 (November 19, 2001).

These requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure and Public Comment Since no calculations were performed for these partial preliminary results, no disclosure is required under 19 CFR 351.224(b). Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.310(c). Any hearing will be held 37 days after the publication of this notice, or the first business day thereafter unless the Department alters the date pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(d). Individuals who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register to the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, pursuant to the Department’s e-filing regulations.21 Requests for a public hearing should contain: (1) The party’s name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) to the extent practicable, an identification of the arguments to be raised at the hearing. Parties should confirm by telephone the time, date, and place of the hearing within 48 hours before the scheduled time. Unless otherwise notified by the Department, interested parties may submit case briefs within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).

The preliminary dumping margins are shown in the ‘‘Preliminary Determination’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 29, 2011, the Department received a petition, filed by the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (‘‘Petitioner’’) in proper form, concerning imports of wind towers from the PRC.1 In January 2012, the Department requested information regarding, and clarification of, certain areas of the petition. Petitioner filed timely responses to these requests. The Department initiated an antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) investigation of wind towers from the PRC on January 24, 2012.2 In the petition, Petitioner requested that the Department consider expanding the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) to include more than two fiscal quarters (i.e., the period normally covered in an investigation involving a non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) country), because a POI of normal duration may not capture a large number of wind tower sales. Accordingly, in the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it would give further consideration to the duration of the POI.3 In the Initiation Notice, the Department stated that it intended to issue its quantity and value (‘‘Q&V’’) questionnaire to the exporters/ producers named in the petition and to select respondents based on data provided in the responses to the Q&V questionnaire.4 On January 19, 2012, the Department requested Q&V information from 48 companies identified in the petition as potential exporters of wind towers from the PRC.5 The Department received timely responses to its Q&V questionnaire from seven companies. The Department concluded from its review of these responses that the sixmonth POI data ensure a sufficient 1 See Petition for the Imposition of Antidumping and Countervailing Duties: Utility Scale Wind Towers from the People’s Republic of China and The Socialist Republic of Vietnam (December 29, 2011) (‘‘petition’’). 2 See Utility Scale Wind Towers From the People’s Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations, 77 FR 3440 (January 24, 2012) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). 3 Id., 77 FR at 3441. 4 Id., 77 FR at 3445. 5 The Department requested this information on the day after the Initiation Notice was signed.

(‘‘CXS’’) and Titan Wind Energy (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Titan’’)).8 On March 8, 2012, the Department issued the AD questionnaire to both CXS and Titan. In April and May 2012, CXS and Titan submitted timely responses to the Department’s AD questionnaire and Petitioner submitted comments regarding those responses. From April through July 2012, the Department issued supplemental questionnaires to CXS and Titan. From May through July 2012, CXS and Titan submitted timely responses to the Department’s supplemental questionnaires and Petitioner submitted comments regarding several of those responses. In the Initiation Notice, the Department notified parties that they had an opportunity to comment on the scope of the investigation as well as the appropriate physical characteristics of wind towers to be reported in response to the Department’s AD questionnaire. In February 2012, CS Wind China Co., Ltd. and CS Wind Corporation (collectively, ‘‘CS Wind’’) and Petitioner submitted comments to the Department regarding the scope and the physical characteristics of merchandise under consideration to be used for reporting purposes. On February 13, 2012, CS Wind requested to be treated as a voluntary respondent in this investigation.9 CS Wind, however, withdrew its request for treatment as a voluntary respondent on April 30, 2012.10 6 See Memorandum from Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, to Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, ‘‘Respondent Selection in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Utility Scale Wind Towers from the People’s Republic of China’’ (March 7, 2012) (‘‘Respondent Selection Memorandum’’) at 5. 7 Id. 8 Id. at 4–6; section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. 9 See Letter from CS Wind to the Secretary of Commerce, ‘‘Request To Be Voluntary Respondent in the Antidumping Duty Investigation on Utility Scale Wind Towers from the People’s Republic of China’’ (February 13, 2012). 10 See Letter from CS Wind to the Secretary of Commerce, ‘‘CS Wind China’s Withdrawal of Request for Treatment as a Voluntary Respondent in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Utility Scale Wind Towers from the People’s Republic of China’’ (April 30, 2012).
