provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the Department’s written
description of the merchandise under
the orders is dispositive.
Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department will conduct a changed
circumstances review upon receipt of a
request from an interested party or
receipt of information concerning an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant a
review of the order.6 Section 351.222(g)
of the Department’s regulations provides
that the Department will conduct a
changed circumstances review under 19
CFR 351.216, and may revoke an order
in whole or in part, if it determines that
the producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product have expressed a
lack of interest in the order, in whole or
in part.7 In the event that the
Department concludes that expedited
action is warranted, 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii) and 19 CFR
351.222(f)(2)(iv) permit the Department
to combine the notices of initiation and
preliminary results.
Based on the information petitioners
provided in their CCR Request and
Supplemental CCR Request, the
Department has determined that
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant the reviews exist.8 Both the Act
and the Department’s regulations
require that ‘‘substantially all’’ domestic
producers express a lack of interest in
the Order for the Department to revoke.9
The Department has interpreted
‘‘substantially all’’ to represent
producers accounting for at least 85
percent of U.S. production of the
domestic like product.10 Because the
data provided in the petitioners’ request
did not indicate that they account for 85
percent of domestic honey production,
we are not combining this notice of
initiation with a preliminary
determination pursuant to 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3)(ii). Interested parties are,
therefore, requested to address the issue
of industry support in their comments.

This notice of initiation will accord all
interested parties an opportunity to
address these proposed revocations.11
In accordance with section 751(b) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 351.221,
and 351.222, based on an affirmative
statement of no interest by the domestic
parties in continuing the AD and CVD
orders with respect to honey from
Argentina, as described above, we are
initiating these changed circumstances
administrative reviews.
If, as a result of these reviews, we
revoke the Orders, we intend to instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to end the suspension of
liquidation of the subject merchandise
on the effective date of the final notice
of revocation, and to refund any
estimated antidumping duties collected,
for all unliquidated entries of such
merchandise made on or after December
1, 2010, for the AD Order, and December
1, 2011, for the CVD Order. We will also
instruct CBP to pay interest on such
refunds in accordance with section 778
of the Act.
Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the initiation of these
changed circumstances reviews. Parties
who submit argument in these
proceedings are requested to submit
with the argument (1) a statement of the
issue, and (2) a brief summary of the
argument. All written comments may be
submitted by interested parties not later
than 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
within 14 days after the date of
publication of this notice in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303, and filed
electronically using Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of preliminary
results of these changed circumstances
reviews, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(3), which will set forth the
factual and legal conclusions upon
which our preliminary results are based,
and a description of any action
proposed based on those results.
This notice of initiation is in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.216(b) and (d), and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(1).

Florida and the Kachemak Bay, Alaska
National Estuarine Research Reserve
Management Plan Revisions. The
revised management plans outline the
administrative structure; the research,
education, training, and stewardship
goals of the reserve; and the plans for
future land acquisition and facility
development to support reserve
operations.
The Rookery Bay Reserve takes an
integrated approach to management,
linking research, education, training and
stewardship functions to address high
priority issues within the 110,000 acre
Reserve including land use changes
affecting freshwater inflow, loss of
native biodiversity, lack of public
awareness and community involvement
in stewardship, incompatible use by
visitors, and ecological impacts of
catastrophic change events. The
Reserve’s Environmental Learning
Center provides excellent visitor
education experiences and a connecting
pedestrian bridge connects visitors to a
boardwalk and interpretive trails.
The Kachemak Bay Reserve takes an
integrated approach to management by
linking research, education, and training
functions within the 372,000 acre
Reserve to address high priority issues
including climate change and harvested
species, such as salmon and shellfish.
The Reserve will continue research on
coastal dynamics, monitoring of
invasive species and harmful algal
blooms, and will transfer information to
coastal decision makers.
