Department of Commerce May 9, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On January 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on silicomanganese from Brazil, Ukraine, and the People's Republic of China pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On the basis of the notice of intent to participate and adequate substantive responses filed on behalf of the sole domestic interested party and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews. As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail is set forth in the section entitled ``Final Results of Reviews.''

In response to a request from Gharda Chemicals, Ltd., on January 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice announcing the initiation of a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India covering the period December 1, 2004, through November 30, 2005. On April 21, 2006, Gharda Chemicals, Ltd., withdrew its request for a new shipper review and, therefore, we are rescinding this review.

On February 2, 2006, and in an amendment on March 16, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') received a request on behalf of the petitioners, the American Furniture Manufacturers Committee for Legal Trade and its individual members (the ``AFMC'') for a changed circumstances review and a request to revoke in part the antidumping duty (``AD'') order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China with respect to jewelry armoires that have at least one side door, whether or not the door is lined with felt or felt-like material. In its February 2, 2006, submission, AFMC stated that it no longer has any interest in antidumping relief from imports of such jewelry armoires with respect to the subject merchandise defined in the ``Scope of the Review'' section below. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
