International Trade Administration October 7, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In response to timely requests, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010. Although we have preliminarily determined that sales have not been made below normal value by Xiping Opeck Food Co., Ltd., our analysis of the applicable transactions requires additional information. See discussion below. We have preliminarily determined that sales have been made below normal value by China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments in this review are requested to submit with each argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain new pneumatic off-the-road tires (``OTR tires'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') covering the period September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010. We have preliminarily determined that the mandatory respondent, Tianjin United Tire & Rubber International Co., Ltd. (``TUTRIC''), made sales of subject merchandise to the United States at prices below normal value (``NV''). Additionally, we also preliminarily determine that Weihai Zhongwei Rubber Co., Ltd. (``Weihai'') had no shipments during the POR, and therefore we intend to rescind the review with respect to Weihai. If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we 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. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').

Pursuant to the Decision of the Binational Panel dated August 29, 2011, affirming the International Trade Commission's final determination on remand described above, the panel review was completed on September 29, 2011.
