International Trade Administration October 21, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On January 28, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published a notice of initiation of a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on certain pasta from Turkey as requested by Marsan Gida Sanayi ve Ticret A.S. (``Marsan''). See Notice of Initiation of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review: Certain Pasta from Turkey, 74 FR 4938 (January 28, 2009) (``Initiation Notice''). On September 15, 2009, we published our preliminary results of the CVD CCR. See Certain Pasta From Turkey: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 74 FR 47225 (September 15, 2009) (``Preliminary Results''). Pursuant to the new criteria outlined in the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that Marsan is not the successor to Gidasa Sabanci Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (``Gidasa'') for purposes of the CVD cash deposit rates. We invited interested parties to comment on these preliminary results and we received comments from Marsan. For the final results, we continue to find that Marsan is not the successor to Gidasa, for purposes of the CVD cash deposit rates, and therefore its merchandise should continue to enter under the ``all others'' cash deposit rate.
