SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background.—On August 16, 1995,

the Department of Commerce suspended

an antidumping duty investigation on

imports of honey from China (60 F.R.

42521). The Commission is conducting

a review to determine whether

termination of the suspended

investigation would be likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of material

injury to the domestic industry within

a reasonably foreseeable time. It will

assess the adequacy of interested party

responses to this notice of institution to

determine whether to conduct a full

review or an expedited review. The

Commission’s determination in any

expedited review will be based on the

facts available, which may include

information provided in response to this

notice.

Definitions.—The following

definitions apply to this review:

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or

kind of merchandise that is within the

scope of the five-year review, as defined

by the Department of Commerce.

(2) The Subject Country in this review

is China.

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the

domestically produced product or

products which are like, or in the

absence of like, most similar in

characteristics and uses with, the

Subject Merchandise. In its original

preliminary determination, the

Commission found one Domestic Like

Product consisting of natural honey,

artificial honey containing more than 50

percent natural honey by weight, and

preparations of natural honey

containing more than 50 percent natural

honey by weight.

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.

producers as a whole of the Domestic

Like Product, or those producers whose

collective output of the Domestic Like

Product constitutes a major proportion

of the total domestic production of the

product. In its original preliminary

determination, the Commission found

one Domestic Industry consisting of

producers of natural honey, artificial

honey containing more than 50 percent

natural honey by weight, and

preparations of natural honey

containing more than 50 percent natural

honey by weight. For the purpose of the

preliminary investigation, the

Commission included independent

packers in the definition of the domestic

industry and declined to exclude any

firms under the related parties

provision. One Commissioner defined

the Domestic Industry differently.

(5) The Order Date is the date that the

investigation was suspended. In this

review, the Order Date is August 16,

1995.

(6) An Importer is any person or firm

engaged, either directly or through a

parent company or subsidiary, in

importing the Subject Merchandise into

the United States from a foreign

manufacturer or through its selling

agent.

Participation in the review and public

service list.—Persons, including

industrial users of the Subject

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is

sold at the retail level, representative

consumer organizations, wishing to

participate in the review as parties must

file an entry of appearance with the

Secretary to the Commission, as

provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the

Commission’s rules, no later than 21

days after publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. The Secretary will

maintain a public service list containing

the names and addresses of all persons,

or their representatives, who are parties

to the review.

Former Commission employees who

are seeking to appear in Commission

five-year reviews are reminded that they

are required, pursuant to 19 CFR 201.15,

to seek Commission approval if the

matter in which they are seeking to

appear was pending in any manner or

form during their Commission

employment. The Commission’s

designated agency ethics official has

advised that a five-year review is the

‘‘same particular matter’’ as the

underlying original investigation for

purposes of 19 CFR 201.15 and 18

U.S.C. 207, the post employment statute

for Federal employees. Former

employees may seek informal advice

from Commission ethics officials with

respect to this and the related issue of

whether the employee’s participation

was ‘‘personal and substantial.’’

However, any informal consultation will

not relieve former employees of the

obligation to seek approval to appear

from the Commission under its rule

201.15. For ethics advice, contact Carol

McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics

Official, at 202–205–3088.

Limited disclosure of business

proprietary information (BPI) under an

administrative protective order (APO)

and APO service list.—Pursuant to

section 207.7(a) of the Commission’s

rules, the Secretary will make BPI

submitted in this review available to

authorized applicants under the APO

issued in the review, provided that the

application is made no later than 21

days after publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. Authorized

applicants must represent interested

parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9),

who are parties to the review. A

separate service list will be maintained

by the Secretary for those parties

authorized to receive BPI under the

APO.

Certification.—Pursuant to section

207.3 of the Commission’s rules, any

person submitting information to the

Commission in connection with this

review must certify that the information

is accurate and complete to the best of

the submitter’s knowledge. In making

the certification, the submitter will be

deemed to consent, unless otherwise

specified, for the Commission, its

employees, and contract personnel to

use the information provided in any

other reviews or investigations of the

same or comparable products which the

Commission conducts under Title VII of

the Act, or in internal audits and

investigations relating to the programs

and operations of the Commission

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3.

Written submissions.—Pursuant to

section 207.61 of the Commission’s

rules, each interested party response to

this notice must provide the information

such responses is August 22, 2000.

Pursuant to section 207.62(b) of the

Commission’s rules, eligible parties (as

concerning the adequacy of responses to

the notice of institution and whether the

Commission should conduct an

expedited or full review. The deadline

for filing such comments is September

18, 2000. All written submissions must

conform with the provisions of sections

201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission’s

rules and any submissions that contain

BPI must also conform with the

requirements of sections 201.6 and

207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The

Commission’s rules do not authorize

filing of submissions with the Secretary

by facsimile or electronic means. Also,

in accordance with sections 201.16(c)

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules,

each document filed by a party to the

review must be served on all other

parties to the review (as identified by

either the public or APO service list as

appropriate), and a certificate of service

must accompany the document (if you

are not a party to the review you do not

need to serve your response).

Inability to provide requested

information.—Pursuant to section

207.61(c) of the Commission’s rules, any

interested party that cannot furnish the

information requested by this notice in

the requested form and manner shall

notify the Commission at the earliest

possible time, provide a full explanation

of why it cannot provide the requested

information, and indicate alternative

forms in which it can provide

equivalent information. If an interested

party does not provide this notification

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 128 / Monday, July 3, 2000 / Notices 41087

(or the Commission finds the

explanation provided in the notification

inadequate) and fails to provide a

complete response to this notice, the

Commission may take an adverse

inference against the party pursuant to

section 776(b) of the Act in making its

determination in the review.
