26782 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 91 / Friday, May 11, 2007 / Notices 

1Although 30 days after publication of the 

Preliminary Rescission was April 7, 2007, this date 

fell on a Saturday. Therefore, case briefs and 

hearing requests were not due until close of 

business, the next business day (i.e., Monday, April 

9, 2007), as the agency’s regulations clarify that 

where the applicable time limit expires on a nonbusiness day, the Secretary will accept documents 

that are filed on the next business day. See 19 CFR 

351.303(b). 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

results of a new shipper review within 

180 days after the date on which the 

new shipper review was initiated and 

final results of a review within 90 days 

after the date on which the preliminary 

results were issued. The Department 

may, however, extend the time period 

for completion of the preliminary 

results of a new shipper review to 300 

days if it determines that the case is 

extraordinarily complicated. See 19 CFR 

351.214(i)(2) and 751 (a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 

Act. 

The Department has determined that 

the review is extraordinarily 

complicated, as the Department must 

gather additional information, issue 

additional supplemental questionnaires, 

and conduct verification of the 

responses. Based on the timing of the 

case and the additional information that 

must be gathered and verified, the 

preliminary results of this new shipper 

review cannot be completed within the 

statutory time limit of 180 days. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for the 

completion of the preliminary results of 

the new shipper review of Qizheng to 

300 days. See 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The 

preliminary results will now be due no 

later than September 18, 2007, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). The 

final results will be due 90 days after 

the date of issuance of the preliminary 

results, unless extended. 

We are issuing this notice in 

accordance with sections 

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: May 7, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 7, 2007, the Department 

published its preliminary notice of its 

intent to rescind the 2005/2006 semiannual new shipper reviews of the 

antidumping duty order on freshwater 

crawfish tail meat from the PRC, and 

invited parties to comment on the 

preliminary rescission. See Preliminary 

Rescission. In the Preliminary 

Rescission, the Department indicated, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii), that 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

within 30 days of the date of the 

Preliminary Rescission. Additionally, 

the Department indicated that any 

interested party may also request a 

hearing within 30 days of publication of 

the Preliminary Rescission, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.310(c). 

As of April 9, 2007, however, 30 days 

after publication of the Preliminary 

Rescission, no interested party 

submitted a case brief or requested a 

hearing be held in the context of the 

above-referenced new shipper reviews.1

Scope of Order 

The product covered by this 

antidumping duty order is freshwater 

crawfish tail meat, in all its forms 

(whether washed or with fat on, 

whether purged or unpurged), grades, 

and sizes; whether frozen, fresh, or 

chilled; and regardless or how it is 

packed, preserved, or prepared. 

Excluded from the scope of the order are 

live crawfish and other whole crawfish, 

whether boiled, frozen, fresh, or chilled. 

Also excluded are saltwater crawfish 

and any type, and parts thereof. 

Freshwater crawfish tail meat is 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) under item numbers 

1605.40.10.10 and 1605.40.10.90, which 

are the HTSUS numbers for prepared 

foodstuffs, indicating peeled crawfish 

tail meat and other, as introduced by 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) in 2000, and HTSUS numbers 

0306.19.00.10 and 0306.29.00.00, which 

are reserved for fish and crustaceans in 

general. The HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes only. The written description 

of the scope of this order is dispositive. 

Period of Review 

The period of review (POR) is 

September 1, 2005, through February 

28, 2006. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

As noted above, we received no 

comments from interested parties in 

response to the Preliminary Rescission. 

While the Department normally issues a 

separate Issues and Decision 

Memorandum which accompanies a 

final results/rescission notice published 

in the Federal Register, since no briefs 

were submitted in the above-referenced 

new shipper reviews, a separate 

memorandum is not required. 

Final Rescission 

Concurrent with the Preliminary 

Rescission, the Department issued a 

memorandum detailing our analysis of 

the bona fides of Weishan Hongrun’s 

U.S. sale and our preliminary decision 

to rescind the review based on the 

totality of the circumstances of the sale. 

See Memorandum to James C. Doyle, 

Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, 

Import Administration, through 

Christopher D. Riker, Program Manager, 

AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, from Scot 

Fullerton, Senior Case Analyst, AD/CVD

2The Preliminary Rescission erroneously 

indicated that Nanjing Merry produced the subject 

merchandise it exported during the POR. This 

merchandise, in fact, was produced by Anhui 

Hengda Foodstuffs Co. Ltd. See, e.g., May 5, 2006, 

Initiation Notice. 

Operations, Office 9, titled 2005/2006 

antidumping Duty New Shipper Review 

of the Antidumping Duty Order on 

Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the 

People’s Republic of China: Bona Fide 

analysis of the Sale(s) Reported by 

Weishan Hongrun Aquatic Food Co., 

Ltd. (February 22, 2007). The 

Department received no comments on 

its preliminary decision to rescind the 

new shipper review of Weishan 

Hongrun, based on the totality of the 

circumstances of the sale and the nonbona fide nature of the transaction. 

Additionally, prior to the Preliminary 

Rescission, Leping Lotai, Nanjing Merry, 

and Shanghai Strong all submitted 

letters to the Department indicating they 

would not permit verification of the 

information placed on the record of the 

reviews. By not permitting the 

Department to verify the accuracy of the 

information each submitted to the 

Department, Leping Lotai, Nanjing 

Merry, and Shanghai Strong each failed 

to establish that they qualified for a 

separate rate. See Memorandum to 

James C. Doyle, Director, AD/CVD

Analysis, through Christopher D. Riker,

Republic of China: Intent to Rescind the 

New Shipper Review of Leping Lotai 

Foods Co. (February 22, 2007); 

Memorandum to James C. Doyle, 

Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, 

from Scot T. Fullerton and Prentiss Lee 

Smith, Case analysts, through 

Christopher D. Riker, Program Manager, 

titled Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat 

from The People’s Republic of China: 

Intent to Rescind the New Shipper 

Review of nanjing Merry Trading Co., 

Ltd. (February 22, 2007); Memorandum 

to James C. Doyle, Director, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office 9, from Scot T.

analysts, through Christopher D. Riker, 

Program Manager, titled Freshwater 

Crawfish Tail Meat from The People’s 

Republic of China: Intent to Rescind the 

New Shipper Review of Shanghai 

Strong International Trading Co., Ltd. 

(February 22, 2007). 

To establish whether a company 

operating in a non-market economy 

(‘‘NME’’) is sufficiently independent 

from the Government to be eligible for 

a separate rate, the Department analyzes 

each exporting entity under the test 

established in the Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: 

Sparklers From the People’s Republic of 

China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as 

amplified by the Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the 

People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 

(May 2, 1994). Under the separate rates 

criteria, the Department assigns separate 

rates in NME cases only if the 

respondent can demonstrate the absence 

of both de jure and de facto 

governmental control over export 

activities. 

By failing to allow the Department to 

verify the accuracy of their submissions, 

Leping Lotai, Nanjing Merry, and 

Shanghai Strong did not demonstrate 

that they are free of government control 

and, therefore, are not eligible to receive 

a separate rate. In the notices of 

initiation, the Department stated that an 

exporter unable to demonstrate the 

company’s eligibility for a separate rate 

does not meet the requirements of 19 

CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii) and its new 

shipper review will be rescinded. See 

Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the 

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty New Shipper 

Reviews, 71 FR 26453 (May 5, 2006) 

(‘‘May 5, 2006, Initiation Notice’’); see 

also Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 

Shipper Review, 71 FR 30866 (May 31, 

2006). Therefore, the Department 

preliminarily rescinded the new shipper 

reviews of Leping Lotai, Nanjing Merry, 

and Shanghai Strong. The Department 

received no comments on its 

preliminary decision that Leping 

Lotai’s, Nanjing Merry’s, and Shanghai 

Strong’s reviews should be rescinded as 

they did not qualify for a separate rate. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

We have made no changes to our 

preliminary decision to rescind the new 

shipper reviews of Weishan Hongrun, 

Leping Lotai, Nanjing Merry and 

Shanghai Strong. 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties 

A cash deposit of 223.01 percent ad 

valorem shall be collected for any 

entries produced/exported by Leping 

Lotai/Leping Lotai, Anhui Hengda 

Foodstuffs Co. Ltd./Nanjing Merry, 

Weishan Hongrun/Weishan Hongrun, 

and Jiangsu Hongda Aquatic Food Co., 

Ltd./Shanghai Strong.2 The Department 

will issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP within 15 

days of the publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

These reviews and notice are in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
