Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China: Partial Rescission and Preliminary Results of the Sixth Administrative Review
Document Number: E6-3125
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-03-06
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is currently conducting the sixth administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') covering the period February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005. This review covers imports of subject merchandise from four manufacturers/exporters: Raoping Yucun Canned Foods Factory (``Raoping Yucun''), Primera Harvest (Xiangfan) Incorporated (``PHX''), Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. (``Gerber'') and Guangxi Yulin Oriental Food Co., Ltd. (``Guangxi Yulin'') . We are preliminarily rescinding the review with respect to Green Fresh Foods (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. (``Green Fresh''). We preliminarily find that Yucun sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (``NV'') during the period of review (``POR''). In addition, we find that adverse facts available (``AFA'') are appropriate for PHX, Gerber and Guangxi Yulin. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with these results. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary review results and will issue the final review results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.

We are also preliminarily rescinding the review for Ilva S.p.A. (Ilva), Metalcam S.p.A. (Metalcam) and Riva Fire S.p.A. (Riva Fire), because they had no shipments during the POR.

Document Number: E6-3086
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-03-06
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
On April 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on ammonium nitrate from the Russian Federation (``Russia'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Notice of Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 16800 (April 1, 2005) (``Initiation Notice'').

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted Average Dumping Margin During an Antidumping Duty Investigation
Document Number: 06-2134
Type: Notice
Date: 2006-03-06
Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is requesting comments regarding the calculation of the weighted average dumping margin in an antidumping duty investigation. Currently, the Department usually makes comparisons between average export prices and average normal values and does not offset any dumping that is found with the results of comparisons for which the average export price exceeds the average normal value. A recent WTO dispute settlement report has found that the United States application of this methodology was inconsistent with our WTO obligations. In response to this report, the Department will abandon the use of average-to-average comparisons without such offsets. The Department seeks comment on the alternative approach(s) that may be appropriate in future investigations.
