Brake Rotors From the People’s

Republic of China: Initiation of New

Shipper Antidumping Duty Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

has received requests to conduct new

shipper reviews of the antidumping

duty order on brake rotors from the

People’s Republic of China. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d), we

are initiating reviews for Beijing

Concord Auto Technology Inc., Qingdao

Meita Automotive Industry Co., Ltd.,

and Shandong Laizhou Huanri Group

General Co.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 27, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Brian Smith, Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202)

482–1766.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

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. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) regulations are to 19 CFR

Part 351 (April 2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department has received timely

requests from Beijing Concord Auto

Technology Inc. (‘‘Concord’’), Qingdao

Meita Automotive Industry Co., Ltd.

(‘‘Meita’’), and Shandong Laizhou

Huanri Group General Co. (‘‘Huanri’’),

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c),

for new shipper reviews of the

antidumping duty order on brake rotors

from the People’s Republic of China

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 228 / Monday, November 27, 2000 / Notices 70695

(‘‘PRC’’), which has an April

anniversary month.

As required by 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), each of the

three companies identified above has

certified that it did not export brake

rotors to the United States during the

period of investigation (‘‘POI’’), and that

it has never been affiliated with any

exporter or producer which did export

brake rotors during the POI. Each

company has further certified that its

export activities are not controlled by

the central government of the PRC,

satisfying the requirements of 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B). Pursuant to the

Department’s regulations at 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2)(iv)(A), Concord, Huanri,

and Meita each submitted

documentation establishing the date on

which it first shipped the subject

merchandise to the United States, the

volume of that shipment, and the date

of the first sale to an unaffiliated

customer in the United States.

In accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as amended, and

19 CFR 351.214(b), and based on

information on the record, we are

initiating the new shipper reviews for

Concord, Huanri, and Meita.

It is the Department’s practice in cases

involving non-market economies to

require that a company seeking to

establish eligibility for an antidumping

duty rate separate from the countrywide rate provide de jure and de facto

evidence of an absence of government

control over the company’s export

activities. Accordingly, we will issue a

questionnaire to Concord, Huanri, and

Meita (including a separate rates

section), allowing approximately 37

days for response. If the response from

each respondent provides sufficient

indication that it is not subject to either

de jure or de facto government control

with respect to its exports of brake

rotors, each review will proceed. If, on

the other hand, a respondent does not

demonstrate its eligibility for a separate

rate, then it will be deemed to be

affiliated with other companies that

exported during the POI, and the review

of that respondent will be rescinded.

Initiation of Review

In accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.214(d)(1), we are initiating new

shipper reviews of the antidumping

duty order on brake rotors from the PRC.

We intend to issue the preliminary

results of these reviews not later than

180 days after the date on which the

reviews are initiated.

Antidumping Duty Proceeding Period to be reviewed

PRC: Brake Rotors, A–570–846:

Beijing Concord Auto Technology Inc. ............................................................................................................................. 04/01/00–09/30/00

Qingdao Meita Automotive Industry Co., Ltd.

Shandong Laizhou Huanri Group General Co.

We will instruct the Customs Service

to allow, at the option of the importer,

the posting, until the completion of the

review, of a bond or security in lieu of

a cash deposit for each entry of the

merchandise exported by the abovelisted companies. This action is in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(e).

Interested parties that need access to

proprietary information in these new

shipper reviews should submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and

351.306.

This initiation and notice are in

accordance with section 751(a) of the

Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR

351.214(d).

Dated: November 20, 2000.
