1 In the initiation notice published on October 2, 2000, (65 FR 58733), the review period for Acciai was incorrect. The period listed above is the

correct period of review for that firm. 2 In the initiation notice published on July 7, 2000, (65 FR 41942), the review period for this case was incorrect. The period of review was corrected in the initiation notice published on October 2, 2000, (65 FR 58733); however, in that notice the company name was incorrectly reported

as ‘‘Acciai Speciali Terni S.p.A.’’ The correct company name is ‘‘ALZ, N.V.’’

During any administrative review

suspended investigation (after sunset

review), the Secretary, if requested by a

domestic interested party within 30

days of the date of publication of the

notice of initiation of the review, will

(December 29, 1999) (Preliminary

Results). The products covered by this

order are brake rotors from the People’s

Republic of China. These reviews cover

nine exporters (see ‘‘Background’’

section below for further discussion).

The period of review is April 1, 1998,

Based on the additional publicly

available information used in these final

results and the comments received from

the interested parties, we have made

changes in the margin calculations for

all nine exporters. The final weightedaverage dumping margins for the

reviewed firms are listed below in the

section entitled ‘‘Final Results of

Reviews.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 30, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’), are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department of Commerce’s (‘‘the

Department’s’’) regulations are to 19

CFR Part 351 (2000).

Background

These reviews cover the following

nine exporters: (1) Jilin Provincial

Machinery & Equipment Import &

Export Corporation (‘‘Jilin’’); (2) Laizhou

Auto Brake Equipments Factory

(‘‘LABEF’’); (3) Laizhou Hongda Auto

Replacement Parts Co., Ltd. (‘‘Laizhou

Hongda’’); (4) Longkou Haimeng

Machinery Co. (‘‘Haimeng’’); (5)

Qingdao (Gren) Co. (‘‘GREN’’); (6)

Yantai Import & Export Corporation

(‘‘Yantai’’); (7) Yantai Winhere AutoPart Manufacturing Co. (‘‘Winhere’’); (8)

Yenhere Corporation (‘‘Yenhere’’); and

(9) Zibo Botai Machinery Manufacturing

Co. (‘‘Zibo’’). The period of review

(POR) is April 1, 1998, through March

31, 1999.

On December 29, 1999, the

Department published in the Federal

Register the preliminary results of the

third new shipper review and

preliminary results and partial

rescission of second antidumping duty

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on brake rotors

from the People’s Republic of China

(‘‘PRC’’) (64 FR 73007). On March 10,

2000, the respondents and the petitioner

submitted publicly available

information (‘‘PAI’’) at the Department’s

request. The interested parties

submitted their case briefs on March 24,

2000. Only the petitioner submitted a

rebuttal brief on March 29, 2000. On

March 29, 2000, the Department notified

the petitioner and respondents that it

intended to conduct verification of the

responses submitted by Jilin, Laizhou

Hongda, Winhere, and Yenhere.

Therefore, in order to accomodate these

verifications, the Department published

in the Federal Register a notice which

postponed the final results in these

reviews until October 24, 2000. See

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 210 / Monday, October 30, 2000 / Notices 64665

Postponement of Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review: Brake Rotors from the People’s

Republic of China, 65 FR 19359 (April

11, 2000). In June 2000, we conducted

verification of the responses submitted

by the above-mentioned four

respondents. In July 2000, we placed

additional PAI on the record and

provided the parties with the

opportunity to comment. In July and

August 2000, we issued the verification

reports.

As a result of our decision to conduct

verification of the responses submitted

by certain companies and postpone the

final results, we provided the interested

parties with another opportunity to

submit PAI. The petitioner submitted

PAI on August 15, 2000. On August 20,

2000, we requested that the petitioner

provide additional import values for six

material inputs for the time period

August–December 1998 from the Indian

government publication Monthly

Statistics of the Foreign Trade of India

(‘‘Monthly Statistics’’). On August 23,

2000, we provided the respondents with

the same opportunity. On August 25,

2000, the respondents submitted PAI

from Monthly Statistics for the six

inputs at issue, but the time period of

the data differed from our request. On

September 1, 2000, we returned the PAI

submitted by the respondents on August

25, 2000. The petitioner submitted its

case brief on September 5, 2000. The

respondents submitted their rebuttal

brief on September 13, 2000.

On October 2, 2000, we placed on the

record additional PAI for electricity and

marine insurance for consideration in

the final results and provided the

parties with an opportunity for

comment. Neither party submitted

comments on this additional

information.

The Department has conducted these

reviews in accordance with section 751

of the Act.

Scope of Reviews

The products covered by these

reviews are brake rotors made of gray

cast iron, whether finished,

semifinished, or unfinished, ranging in

diameter from 8 to 16 inches (20.32 to

40.64 centimeters) and in weight from 8

to 45 pounds (3.63 to 20.41 kilograms).

The size parameters (weight and

dimension) of the brake rotors limit

their use to the following types of motor

vehicles: Automobiles, all-terrain

vehicles, vans and recreational vehicles

under ‘‘one ton and a half,’’ and light

trucks designated as ‘‘one ton and a

half.’’

Finished brake rotors are those that

are ready for sale and installation

without any further operations. Semifinished rotors are those on which the

surface is not entirely smooth, and have

undergone some drilling. Unfinished

rotors are those which have undergone

some grinding or turning.

These brake rotors are for motor

vehicles, and do not contain in the

casting a logo of an original equipment

manufacturer (‘‘OEM’’) which produces

vehicles sold in the United States (e.g.,

General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Honda,

Toyota, Volvo). Brake rotors covered in

these reviews are not certified by OEM

producers of vehicles sold in the United

States. The scope also includes

composite brake rotors that are made of

gray cast iron, which contain a steel

plate, but otherwise meet the above

criteria. Excluded from the scope of

these reviews are brake rotors made of

gray cast iron, whether finished,

semifinished, or unfinished, with a

diameter less than 8 inches or greater

than 16 inches (less than 20.32

centimeters or greater than 40.64

centimeters) and a weight less than 8

pounds or greater than 45 pounds (less

than 3.63 kilograms or greater than

20.41 kilograms).

Brake rotors are classifiable under

subheading 8708.39.5010 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the

HTSUS subheading is provided for

convenience and customs purposes, our

written description of the scope of these

reviews is dispositive.

Rescission

We have rescinded the administrative

review with respect to Longjing Walking

Tractor Works Foreign Trade Import &

Export Corporation (‘‘Longjing’’), Zibo

Luzhou Automobile Parts Co. (‘‘ZLAP’’),

and Yantai Chen Fu Machinery Co., Ltd.

(‘‘Chen Fu’’) because they withdrew

their requests for review and no other

interested party requested a review of

these companies. See Preliminary

Results, 64 FR at 73009.

Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised in the case briefs are

addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision

Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision Memo’’)

from Richard W. Moreland, Deputy

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration, to Troy Cribb, Assistant

Secretary for Import Administration,

dated October 24, 2000, which is hereby

adopted by this notice. A list of the

issues raised, all of which are in the

Decision Memo, is attached to this

notice as an Appendix. Parties can find

a complete discussion of all issues

raised in the briefs and the

corresponding recommendations 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. The

paper copy and electronic version of the

Decision Memo are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on the use of additional PAI

and the comments received from the

interested parties, we have made

changes in the margin calculations for

all nine exporters. For a discussion of

these changes, see the ‘‘Margin

Calculations’’ section of the Decision

Memo.

Final Results of Reviews

We determine that the following

weighted-average margin percentages

exist for the period April 1, 1998,

through March 31, 1999:

Exporter Margin

(percent)

Jilin Provincial Machinery &

Equipment Import & Export

Corp ...................................... 0.00

Laizhou Auto Brake Equipments Factory ....................... 0.00

Laizhou Hongda Auto Replacement Parts Co., Ltd ............... 0.00

Longkou Haimeng Machinery

Co .......................................... 1 0.10

Qingdao (Gren) Co ................... 0.69

Yantai Import & Export Corp .... 1 0.06

Yantai Winhere Auto-Part Manufacturing Co ......................... 0.00

Yenhere Corp ........................... 0.00

Zibo Botai Machinery Manufacturing Co ............................... 0.00

1 De minimis.

Assessment Rates

The Department shall determine, and

Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),

we will instruct the Customs Service to

liquidate without regard to antidumping

duties all entries of subject merchandise

during the POR from the PRC exporters

for which the import-specific

assessment rate is zero or de minimis

(i.e., less than 0.50 percent). In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b), we

have calculated importer-specific ad

valorem duty assessment rates. We will

direct Customs to assess the resulting

percentage margin against the entered

Customs values for the subject

merchandise on each of that importer’s

entries under the relevant order during

the review period. For entries from the

PRC non-market economy (‘‘NME’’)

entity companies (i.e., PRC exporters

which are not entitled separate rates),

the Customs Service shall assess ad

64666 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 210 / Monday, October 30, 2000 / Notices

valorem duties at the PRC-wide rate.

Because the PRC-wide entity was not

reviewed during this POR, the PRCwide rate remains that established in the

less-than-fair-value investigation. For

entries made by PRC companies for

which the Department has rescinded the

administrative review (i.e., Chen Fu,

Longjing and ZLAP), Customs shall

assess ad valorem duties at the rates

applicable at the time of entry.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit rates shall be

required for merchandise subject to the

order entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the publication date of these final

results of administrative and new

shipper reviews, as provided by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit

rate for each reviewed company will be

the rate indicated above; (2) the cash

deposit rate for PRC exporters who

received a separate rate in a prior

segment of the proceeding but for whom

the Department has rescinded the

review (i.e., Longjing and ZLAP) or of

whom the review was not requested for

this POR will continue to be the rate

assigned in that segment of the

proceeding; (3) the cash deposit rate for

the PRC NME entity (i.e., all other

exporters, including Chen Fu, which

have not been reviewed) will continue

to be 43.32 percent; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for non-PRC exporters of

subject merchandise from the PRC will

be the rate applicable to the PRC

supplier of that exporter. These deposit

requirements shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the

next administrative review.

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 also serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective orders (APO)

of their responsibility concerning the

return or destruction of proprietary

information disclosed under APO in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.

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 which is subject to

sanction.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections section 751(a)(1) and

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.

Dated: October 24, 2000.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act) are to the provisions

effective January 1, 1995, the effective

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

all citations to the Department’s

regulations are to 19 CFR part 351

(1999).

Background

On June 1, 2000, the Department

published a notice of initiation of new

shipper administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty order on Freshwater

Crawfish Tail Meat from the People’s

Republic of China, covering the period

September 1, 1999 through February 29,

2000 (65 FR 35046). The preliminary

results are currently due no later than

November 21, 2000.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results

Because of the complexities

enumerated in the Memorandum from

Barbara E. Tillman to Joseph A.

Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit for

the Preliminary Results of New Shipper

Review of Freshwater Crawfish Tail

Meat from the People’s Republic of

China, dated October 24, 2000, we find

this case is extraordinarily complicated

and thus are unable to complete this

review by the scheduled deadline.

Therefore, in accordance with section

351.214(i)(2) of the Department’s

regulations, the Department is extending

the time period for issuing the

preliminary results of review by 120

days (i.e., until March 21, 2001).
