International Trade Administration April 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In response to a petition for a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of Grobest & I-Mei Industrial (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (``Grobest & I-Mei''), the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') is initiating a CCR of the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''). We have preliminarily concluded that Viet I-Mei Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (``Viet I-Mei'') is the successor-in-interest to Grobest & I-Mei, and, as a result, should be accorded the same treatment previously accorded to Grobest & I-Mei, with regard to the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

In response to a timely request from Compass Chemical International LLC (``Petitioner''), the Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (``HEDP'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The period of review (``POR'') is April 23, 2009, through March 31, 2010. This administrative review covers two exporters of the subject merchandise that are being individually examined as mandatory respondents. The Department has preliminarily determined that one mandatory respondent, Jiangsu Jianghai Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (``Jiangsu Jianghai''), did not demonstrate that it is entitled to a separate rate. Therefore, the Department has treated Jiangsu Jianghai as part of the PRC-wide entity. The other mandatory respondent, Changzhou Wujin Fine Chemical Factory Co., Ltd. (``Wujin Fine''), reported that it did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Because record evidence does not contradict Wujin Fine's no-shipment claim, the Department intends to rescind the administrative review with respect to this company. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of review, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which the importer-specific assessment rates are above de minimis. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Parties that submit comments are requested to submit with each argument a statement of the issue and a brief summary of the argument. The Department intends to issue the final results of this review no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice.

On November 12, 2010, the Department of Commerce (Department) published preliminary results for the new shipper reviews (NSRs) of fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China (PRC) covering the period of review (POR) November 1, 2008, through October 31, 2009. See Fresh Garlic From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of New Shipper Reviews and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, 75 FR 69415 (November 12, 2010) (Preliminary Results). The reviews covered three respondents: Jinxiang Chengda Imp & Exp Co., Ltd. (Chengda), Zhengzhou Huachao Industrial Co., Ltd. (Huachao), and Jinxiang Yuanxin Imp & Exp Co., Ltd. (Yuanxin). As discussed below, we preliminarily found that Yuanxin's and Huachao's sales were bona fide and that these sales were made in the United States at prices below normal value (NV). In addition, we found Chengda's sales to be not bona fide, and announced our preliminary intent to rescind Chengda's new shipper review. For the final results of this review, we are finding the sales of all three respondents, Chengda, Huachao, and Yuanxin, to be not bona fide. Therefore, because there were no other shipments or entries by these three companies during the POR, we are rescinding these new shipper reviews.

(Nan Ya), pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
