Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2013 / Notices
has for processors and end-users, GIPSA
worked with the USADPLC to establish
an additional minimum color
requirement for the U.S. No. 2 Smooth
Yellow Dry Pea classification only; and
a clear definition to describe the color
‘‘fair color yellow pea’’. Also, GIPSA
worked with USADPLC to create a
visual reference image that will aid in
the consistent application of a fair color.
The proposed definition for fair color
yellow peas is: ‘‘Dry yellow peas that in
mass are lightly to moderately
discolored as a result of storage or any
other cause to the extent they cannot be
considered of good color.’’ The addition
of ‘‘fair color yellow peas’’ as a
minimum color requirement for U.S.
No. 2 ‘‘Smooth Yellow Dry Pea’’
classification only; the definition of
‘‘fair color yellow peas’’; and the
establishment of the visual aid for the
color to the U.S. Standards for Whole
Dry Peas will result in a more uniform
and consistent application of the
standards.
‘‘Good color peas’’ will continue to
serve as a minimum color requirement
for all classes of U.S. No. 1 Whole Dry
Peas and ‘‘Good color peas’’ will
continue to serve as a minimum color
requirement for all classes of U.S. No. 2
Whole Dry Peas with the exception of
Smooth Yellow Dry Peas. Samples
meeting the minimum color
requirement ‘‘poor color peas’’ will
receive no better than a U.S. No. 3 grade
designation for all classes of Whole Dry
Peas.
Proposed GIPSA Action
GIPSA is proposing to establish an
additional color grading factor
requirement for the Whole Dry Peas
class ‘‘Smooth Yellow Dry Peas’’ and
establish a definition for ‘‘fair color
yellow peas.’’ The proposed addition to
the grade standards will enable the class
of Smooth Yellow Dry Peas to be
marketed on the basis of acceptable
appearances. The proposed definition
for fair color yellow peas is as follows:
‘‘Dry yellow peas that in mass are
lightly to moderately discolored as a
result of storage or any other cause to
the extent they cannot be considered of
good color.’’

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Department) has determined that
requests for new shipper reviews of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The antidumping duty order on
crawfish from the PRC published in the
Federal Register on September 15,
1997.2 Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), we received
timely requests for new shipper reviews
of the order from Hubei Nature
Agriculture Industry Co., Ltd. (Hubei
Nature) 3 and Hubei Zhenghe Food Co.,
Ltd. (Hubei Zhenghe).4 Each company
certified that it is both the producer and
exporter of the subject merchandise
upon which the request was based.5
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
Hubei Nature and Hubei Zhenghe each
certified that it did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of investigation (POI).6 In
addition, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Hubei Nature and
Hubei Zhenghe each certified that, since
the initiation of the investigation, it has
never been affiliated with any exporter

19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A).

or producer who exported subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POI, including those respondents
not individually examined during the
POI.7 As required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Hubei Nature and
Hubei Zhenghe also certified that their
export activities were not controlled by
the government of the PRC.8
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2), Hubei Nature and Hubei
Zhenghe each submitted documentation
establishing the following: (1) The date
on which it first shipped subject
merchandise for export to the United
States; (2) the volume of its first
shipment; and (3) the date of its first
sale to an unaffiliated customer in the
United States.9
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the
Department finds that the requests from
Hubei Nature and Hubei Zhenghe meet
the threshold requirements for initiation
of new shipper reviews for shipments of
crawfish from the PRC produced and
exported by Hubei Nature and produced
and exported by Hubei Zhenghe.10
The Department intends to issue the
preliminary results of these reviews no
later than 180 days from the date of
initiation and final results of these
reviews no later than 90 days after the
date the preliminary results are
issued.11 It is the Department’s usual
practice, in cases involving non-market
economy countries, to require that a
company seeking to establish eligibility
for an antidumping duty rate separate
from the country-wide rate provide
evidence of de jure and de facto absence
of government control over the
company’s export activities.
Accordingly, we will issue a
questionnaire to Hubei Nature and
Hubei Zhenghe which will include a
section requesting information
concerning their eligibility for a separate
rate. The new shipper review of Hubei
Nature will be rescinded if the
Department determines that Hubei

Nature has not demonstrated that it is
eligible for a separate rate. Likewise, the
new shipper review of Hubei Zhenghe
will be rescinded if the Department
determines that Hubei Zhenghe has not
demonstrated that it is eligible for a
separate rate.
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection 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
each entry of the subject merchandise
from Hubei Nature and Hubei Zhenghe
in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e). Because each company
certified that it produced and exported
subject merchandise, the sale of which
is the basis for the requests for new
shipper reviews, we will apply the
bonding privilege to Hubei Nature and
Hubei Zhenghe only for subject
merchandise which were produced and
exported by Hubei Nature and produced
and exported by Hubei Zhenghe.
To assist in its analysis of the bona
fides of these two companies’ sales,
upon initiation of this new shipper
review, the Department will require
them to submit on an ongoing basis
complete transaction information
concerning any sales of subject
merchandise to the United States that
were made subsequent to the POR.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in these new
shipper reviews should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306. This initiation and notice are
published in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
