International Trade Administration May 8, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is currently conducting the 2004/2005 administrative review and the 2004/2005 new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). We preliminarily determine that sales have been made below normal value (``NV'') with respect to certain exporters who participated fully and are entitled to a separate rate in the administrative review. We also have preliminarily determined that the single sale made by the new shipper, Shanxi Zhongding Auto Parts Co., Ltd.(``SZAP''), was not bona fide. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of these reviews, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (``POR'') for which the importer-specific assessment rates are above de minimis. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. We will issue the final results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.

On January 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld pipe fittings) from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of domestic interested parties, and no response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of these antidumping duty orders. 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 at the levels identified below in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
