International Trade Administration June 9, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting the third administrative review (``AR'') of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven ribbon with woven selvedge (``NWR'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). The AR covers 15 exporters of subject merchandise; the Department selected one company for individual examination. The period of review (``POR'') is September 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013. Because the Department received timely review request withdrawals for one company that previously received a separate rate, the Department is rescinding its review of this company. Additionally, the Department preliminarily determines that it will treat the sole company for which a review was requested and not subsequently withdrawn as part of the PRC-wide entity, which is subject to this AR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.

The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks (MCBs) from the People's Republic of China (PRC), covering the period of review (POR) January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. We preliminarily determine that the application of adverse facts available (AFA) to the sole mandatory respondent, Fengchi Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd. of Haicheng City and Fengchi Refractories Co., of Haicheng City (collectively, Fengchi), and the Government of the PRC (GOC), is necessary because they failed to cooperate to the best of their ability in this proceeding. The Department also preliminarily finds that certain companies made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
