The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') seeks public comment on its proposed targeted dumping methodology (described below) and related issues.
Antidumping Methodologies for Proceedings that Involve Significant Cost Changes Throughout the Period of Investigation (POI)/Period of Review (POR) that May Require Using Shorter Cost Averaging Periods; Request for Comment
The Department of Commerce (Department) seeks public comment on its development of a predictable methodology for determining when the use of shorter cost averaging periods is more appropriate than the established practice of using annual cost averages due to the occurrence of significant cost changes throughout the POI/POR. Although the Department maintains that the established practice of using annual cost averages is the most appropriate methodology to use in a majority of proceedings, it may be preferable to use an alternative methodology in certain cases. The Department now seeks comments from the public on the factors to consider, the tests to apply, and the thresholds to adhere to in determining whether or not shorter cost averaging periods (e.g., quarterly) are more appropriate.
2007 Calculation of Expected Non-Market Economy Wages
On April 11, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') published the preliminary 2007 expected non-market economy (``NME'') wages (the ``2007 calculation''), and provided the public with an opportunity to comment on potential clerical errors. See Expected Non- Market Economy Wages: Request for Comments on 2007 Calculation, 73 FR 19812 (April 11, 2008). The 2007 calculation was based on 2005 data and the methodology described in the Federal Register notice entitled Antidumping Methodologies: Market Economy Inputs, Expected Non-Market Economy Wages, Duty Drawback; and Request for Comments, 71 FR 61716, Oct. 19, 2006 (hereafter, the ``Antidumping Methodologies notice''). The Department received two sets of comments in response to this notice and has made one change to its calculation, as described below, based on those comments. This notice constitutes the Department's announcement of the finalization and effective date of the 2007 calculation.
