Department of Commerce July 12, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On March 6, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon- quality steel plate products (``CTL Plate'') from Italy. See Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products From Italy: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 11178 (March 6, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). This review covers five producers/exporters of CTL Plate. The period of review (``POR'') is February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005. Based upon our analysis of the record evidence, the Department finds that the application of adverse facts available (``AFA'') is warranted with respect to Palini and Bertoli S.p.A. (``Palini''). Further, the Department is rescinding the review with respect to Trametal S.p.A. (``Trametal'') because there is no entry against which to collect duties. The Department is also rescinding the review for Metalcam S.p.A. (``Metalcam'') and Riva Fire S.p.A. (``Riva Fire'') because they had no shipments during the POR. The Department is also rescinding this review with respect to Ilva S.p.A. (``Ilva'') because Ilva was improperly included in this administrative review.

Export Trading Company Affairs (``ETCA''), International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, has received an application to amend an Export Trade Certificate of Review (``Certificate''). This notice summarizes the proposed amendment and requests comments relevant to whether the Certificate should be issued.

The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

On June 14, 2002, the Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') published a notice in the Federal Register that set forth a list of persons in foreign countries who were parties to past export transactions where pre-license checks or post-shipment verifications could not be conducted for reasons outside the control of the U.S. Government (``Unverified List''). Additionally, on July 16, 2004, BIS published a notice in the Federal Register that advised exporters that the Unverified List would also include persons in foreign countries in transactions where BIS is not able to verify the existence or authenticity of the end-user, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or other party to the transaction. These notices advised exporters that the involvement of a listed person as a party to a proposed transaction constitutes a ``red flag'' as described in the guidance set forth in Supplement No. 3 to 15 CFR part 732, requiring heightened scrutiny by the exporter before proceeding with such a transaction. This notice adds three entities to the Unverified List. The entities are: Sheeba Import Export, Hadda Street, Sanaa, Yemen; Aerospace Consumerist Consortium FZCO, Sheikh Zayed Road, P.O. Box 17951, Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Dubai International Airport, Dubai, 3365, UAE; and Medline International LLC, P.O. Box 86343 Dubai, UAE.
