International Trade Administration March 1, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In response to requests from Niples Del Norte S.A. de C.V. (``NDN'') and Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (``Hylsa''), two Mexican manufacturers of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico. See 69 FR 77181. This administrative review covered the period of November 1, 2003, through October 31, 2004. We are now rescinding this review as a result of both respondents' withdrawal of their request for an administrative review.

In response to a request by Atar, S.r.L. (``Atar''), the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta (``pasta'') from Italy for the period of review (``POR'') July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. We preliminarily determine that during the POR, Atar did not sell subject merchandise at less than normal value (``NV''). Much of the information upon which we relied to analyze the bona fides of Atar's sales to the United States is business proprietary, therefore our full analysis is set forth in the Memorandum to Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Pasta from Italy: New Shipper Review of Atar S.r.L. (Atar), dated February 22, 2005 (Atar Memo), which is on file in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), room B- 099 of the main Commerce Building. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this new shipper review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties.
