International Trade Administration September 24, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On May 5, 2015, ArcelorMittal USA, Inc., Nucor Corporation, and SSAB North America Division (collectively, ``domestic interested parties''), filed with the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Department'') a request to terminate the 2003 Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation of Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from the Russian Federation (``Agreement'') (``request to terminate''). For the reasons stated in this notice, the Department is requesting comments on whether suspension of the investigation is no longer in the ``public interest'' under sections 734(d) and 734(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act'').

On June 30, 2015, the Department of Commerce (Department) published a notice of preliminary results of a changed circumstance review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China (PRC) \1\ in response to a request from Jining Yongjia Trade Co., Ltd. (Yongjia), an exporter of fresh and peeled garlic from the PRC.\2\ Yongjia requested that the Department determine that Jinxiang County Shanfu Frozen Co., Ltd. (Shanfu II), Yongjia's supplier of garlic, is the successor-in-interest to Yongjia's garlic supplier (Shanfu I) during its new shipper review (NSR). In the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Shanfu II is not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I, and, as such, is subject to the PRC- wide entity cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject merchandise. Based on our analysis of the comments from the parties, we continue to find that Shanfu II is not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I for these final results.
