18630 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 71 / Friday, April 13, 2007 / Notices 

1 In the preliminarily results, we determined that 

DSM, KISCO and HSI were affiliated and collapsed 

them into a single entity for margin calculation 

purposes because they met the regulatory criteria 

for collapsing affiliated producers/exporters. No 

interested party objected to our preliminary 

determination to collapse these companies. 

Therefore, for the final results margin calculation, 

we have continued to treat these companies as a 

single entity. 

2The petitioners are Nucor Corporation, 

Commercial Metals Company, and Gerdau 

Ameristeel Inc., collectively, Rebar Trade Action 

Coalition. 

(‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 2006, to January 

31, 2007. This review is now being 

rescinded because Fashion Living 

withdrew its request in a timely 

manner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 28, 1986, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order covering 

petroleum wax candles from the PRC. 

See Antidumping Duty Order: 

Petroleum Wax Candles From the 

People’s Republic of China, 51 FR 30686 

(August 28, 1986). On February 16, 

2007, Fashion Living, requested, in 

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

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(b), that the 

Department conduct a new shipper 

review of this antidumping duty order 

covering the period August 1, 2006, 

through January 31, 2007. 

On March 19, 2007, the Department 

initiated a new shipper review of 

Fashion Living. See Fashion Living 

Initiation. On March 20, 2007, Fashion 

Living filed a letter withdrawing its 

request for a new shipper review. 

Rescission of Review 

The Department’s regulations state 

that if a party that requested a new 

shipper review withdraws the request 

within 60 days of the publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review, the Secretary will rescind the 

review. See 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1). 

Fashion Living withdrew its new 

shipper review request within the 60- 

day deadline. Accordingly, we are 

rescinding this new shipper review of 

the antidumping duty order on 

petroleum wax candles from the PRC for 

Fashion Living covering the period 

August 1, 2006, through January 31, 

2007. 

Notification of Interested Parties 

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 the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return/destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation that 

is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(f)(3).

Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from 

The Republic of Korea: Notice of Final 

Results and Final Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On October 10, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce published the 

preliminary results of the 2004 - 2005 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel 

concrete reinforcing bars from the 

Republic of Korea. The period of review 

(POR) is September 1, 2004, through 

August 31, 2005. 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have not made 

changes in the margin calculations for 

the companies covered by this review. 

Therefore, the final results do not differ 

from the preliminary results. The final 

weighted–average dumping margins for 

the reviewed firms are listed below in 

the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Review.’’

Furthermore, we are rescinding this 

review with respect to Hanbo Iron & 

Steel Co., Ltd. (Hanbo), INI Steel (INI) 

and Kosteel Co., Ltd. (Kosteel), as 

discussed below in the section entitled 

‘‘Partial Rescission of Review.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 13, 2007.

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 1280 or 

(202) 482–4929, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The review covers the following 

producers/exporters of the subject 

merchandise: Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., 

Korea Iron and Steel Co., Hwanyoung 

Steel Industries Co., Ltd. (collectively 

DSM/KISCO/HSI or ‘‘the respondent’’),1

and Dongil Industries Co., Ltd (Dongil). 

The period of review is September 1, 

2004, through August 31, 2005. 

October 10, 2006, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published 

the preliminary results of the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on steel 

concrete reinforcing bars from the 

Republic of Korea. See Steel Concrete 

Reinforcing Bar From The Republic of 

Korea: Notice of Preliminary Results 

and Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 71 FR 59440 (October 10, 2006) 

(Preliminary Results). We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. 

The petitioners filed a case brief on 

December 12, 2006.2 The respondent 

filed a rebuttal brief on December 18, 

2006. The respondent requested a 

hearing but subsequently withdrew its 

request. In lieu of a hearing, the 

petitioners and respondent requested 

separate ex parte meetings to discuss 

the yield strength model–matching 

criterion issue raised in their briefs. 

These ex parte meetings were held in 

January and February 2007 (see January 

29, 2007, and February 5, 2007, 

memoranda to the file). We have 

conducted this administrative review in 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 71 / Friday, April 13, 2007 / Notices 18631 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this order is 

all rebar sold in straight lengths, 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) under item number 7214.20.00 

or any other tariff item number. 

Specifically excluded are plain rounds 

(i.e., non–deformed or smooth bars) and 

rebar that has been further processed 

through bending or coating. The HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes. The written 

description of the scope of this order is 

dispositive. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

In the Preliminary Results, the 

Department preliminarily rescinded the 

review with respect to Hanbo, INI and 

Kosteel because these companies 

notified the Department that they had 

no shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. We confirmed these 

claims with U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), the Department may 

rescind an administrative review, in 

whole or with respect to a particular 

exporter or producer, if the Department 

concludes that, during the period 

covered by the review, there were no 

entries, exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise. Because we found no 

evidence of POR entries of subject 

merchandise from these companies 

based on our review of entry data from 

CBP and we did not receive any 

comments from interested parties on our 

preliminary rescission decision, we are 

rescinding this review with respect to 

these companies. See, e.g., Steel 

Concrete Reinforcing Bars From Turkey; 

Final Results, Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review in Part, and Determination not 

to Revoke in Part, 68 FR 53127 

(September 9, 2003) (after finding no 

evidence of entries of subject 

merchandise from two companies that 

made ‘‘no–shipments’’ claims, the 

Department stated that ‘‘consistent with 

our practice, we are rescinding our 

review for Diler and Ekinciler’’). 

Analysis of Comments Received 

The sole issue raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

antidumping duty administrative review 

is addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’ (Decision Memo) from 

Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, to 

David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary 

for Import Administration, dated April 

9, 2007, which is hereby adopted by this 

notice. The issue which parties have 

raised and to which we have responded 

in the Decision Memo pertains to 

model–matching criteria. Parties can 

find a complete discussion of the issue 

raised in this review and the 

corresponding recommendation in this 

public memorandum which is on file in 

the Central Records Unit, room B–099 of 

the main Department building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Decision Memo can be accessed directly 

on the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. 

The paper copy and electronic version 

of the Decision Memo are identical in 

content. 

Facts Available 

In the Preliminary Results, pursuant 

to sections 776(a)(2)(A) and 776(b) of 

the Act, we based the dumping margin 

for Dongil on total adverse facts 

available (AFA) because Dongil failed to 

respond to the Department’s 

antidumping questionnaire. A complete 

explanation of the application of AFA 

and the corroboration of the selected 

AFA rate can be found in the 

Preliminary Results, 71 FR at 59441–

59443. The Department has neither 

received any comments from interested 

parties with regard to its preliminary 

decision to apply AFA to Dongil, nor 

obtained any additional information 

which would lead us to change that 

decision. Accordingly, for the final 

results, we continue to apply an AFA 

rate of 102.28 percent to Dongil. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted–average margin percentages 

exist: 

Manufacturer/exporter Margin 

(percent) 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd./ 

Korea Iron and Steel Co., Ltd./ 

Hwanyoung Steel Industries 

Co., Ltd. .................................. 0.00 

Dongil Industries Co., Ltd. .......... 102.28 

Assessment 

The Department shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b). The 

Department will issue assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review if any importer–specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis (i.e., is not less than 0.50 

percent). With respect to DSM/KISCO/ 

HSI, we calculated an importer–specific 

assessment rate for the subject 

merchandise by aggregating the 

dumping margins calculated for all the 

U.S. sales examined and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

sales examined. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This 

clarification will apply to entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by DSM/KISCO/HSI included 

in these final results of review for which 

DSM/KISCO/HSI did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States. In such instances, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the ‘‘All Others’’ rate if there 

is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

With respect to the companies for 

which this review was rescinded, 

although they did not have any sales or 

exports of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR, their 

subject merchandise may have entered 

the United States during the POR under 

their CBP antidumping case number by 

way of intermediaries (without their 

knowledge). Fifteen days after 

publication of this notice, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the ‘‘All 

Others’’ rate in effect on the date of the 

entry. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) no 

cash deposit will be required for DSM/ 

KISCO/HSI and the cash deposit rate for 

Dongil will be 102.28 percent; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company–specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original less–than-fair–

value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
18632 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 71 / Friday, April 13, 2007 / Notices 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 22.89 

percent. This rate is the ‘‘All Others’’

rate from the LTFV investigation. These 

deposit requirements shall remain in 

effect until further notice. 

This notice also 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 doubled antidumping duties. 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination and notice in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.221.

National Fire Codes: Request for 

Proposals for Revision of Codes and 

Standards 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) proposes to revise 

some of its fire safety codes and 

standards and requests proposals from 

the public to amend existing or begin 

the process of developing new NFPA 

fire safety codes and standards. The 

purpose of this request is to increase 

public participation in the system used 

by NFPA to develop its codes and 

standards. The publication of this notice 

of request for proposals by the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) on behalf of NFPA is being 

undertaken as a public service; NIST 

does not necessarily endorse, approve, 

or recommend any of the standards 

referenced in the notice. 

The NFPA process provides ample 

opportunity for public participation in 

the development of its codes and 

standards. All NFPA codes and 

standards are revised and updated every 

three to five years in Revision Cycles 

that begin twice each year and that takes 

approximately two years to complete. 

Each Revision Cycle proceeds according 

to a published schedule that includes 

final dates for all major events in the 

process. The process contains five basic 

steps that are followed both for 

developing new documents as well as 

revising existing documents. These 

steps are: Calling for Proposals; 

Publishing the Proposals in the Report 

on Proposals (ROP); Calling for 

Comments on the Committee’s 

disposition of the proposals and these 

Comments are published in the Report 

on Comments (ROC); having a Technical 

Report Session at the NFPA Annual 

Meeting; and finally, the Standards 

Council Consideration and Issuance of 

documents. 

Note: Under new rules effective Fall 2005, 

anyone wishing to make Amending Motions 

on the Technical Committee Reports (ROP 

and ROC) must signal their intention by 

submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a 

Motion by the Deadline stated in the ROC.
