Brake Rotors From the People’s

Republic of China: Preliminary Results

and Partial Rescission of Fifth New

Shipper Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of preliminary results

and partial rescission of fifth new

shipper review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is currently conducting the fifth new

shipper review of the antidumping duty

order on brake rotors from the People’s

Republic of China covering the period

April 1, 2000, through September 30,

2000. This review covers three

exporters. We have preliminarily

determined that two exporters have

made sales at not less than normal

value. For the other exporter, we have

preliminarily determined that it failed

to demonstrate its entitlement to a

separate rate and thus are preliminarily

rescinding the review with respect to it.

If these preliminary results are adopted

in our final results of this review, we

will instruct the Customs Service to

assess no antidumping duties on entries

of subject merchandise during the

period of review from the two exporters,

for which the importer-specific

assessment rates are zero or de minimis

(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), and to

assess duties on all entries of subject

merchandise made during the period of

review by the other exporter at the

country-wide rate. Furthermore, we will

instruct the Customs Service to require

a cash deposit on all future entries of

the subject merchandise from that

exporter at the country-wide rate.

We will issue the final results no later

than 90 days from the date of issuance

of this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 29, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Brian Smith or Brian Ledgerwood,

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

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. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to 19 CFR

Part 351 (2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 31, 2000, the Department

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

General’’) for a new shipper review of

this antidumping duty order in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c). In

their requests for a new shipper review

and in accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), Concord,

Huanri General, and Meita each

certified that it did not export the

subject merchandise to the United

States during the period covered by the

original less-than-fair-value (‘‘LTFV’’)

investigation and that it is not affiliated

with any company which exported the

subject merchandise to the United

States during the period of investigation

(‘‘POI’’). Concord, Huanri General, and

Meita also certified that their export

activities are not controlled by the

central government of the People’s

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). Pursuant to

19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), Concord,

Huanri General, and Meita submitted

documentation establishing the date on

which the merchandise was first entered

for consumption in the United States,

the volume of that first shipment, and

the date of the first sale to an

unaffiliated customer in the United

States.

The Department initiated a new

shipper review covering Concord,

Huanri General, and Meita on November

20, 2000. See Brake Rotors from the

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of

New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review,

65 FR 70695 (November 27, 2000).

On November 28, 2000, we issued a

questionnaire to each PRC company

listed in the brake rotor initiation

notice. On December 5, 2000, the

Department provided the parties an

opportunity to submit publicly available

information for consideration in these

preliminary results. On December 28,

2000, Concord, Huanri General, and

Meita requested an extension of time

until January 19, 2001, to file their

responses to the antidumping duty

questionnaire, which the Department

subsequently granted on December 29,

2000. On January 9, 2001, the

petitioner 1 requested an extension of

time until February 20, 2001, to submit

publicly available information for

consideration in the preliminary results,

which the Department subsequently

granted to all parties on January 16,

2001.

On January 25, 2001, the Department

notified the respondents that it intended

to conduct a verification of their

responses to the antidumping duty

questionnaire in this review and

provided each respondent with a

sample verification outline for purposes

of familiarizing each company with the

verification process. On January 19,

2001, each respondent submitted its

questionnaire response.

Also on January 25, 2001, the

Department issued supplemental

questionnaires to each respondent. On

February 5, 2001, each respondent

requested an extension of time until

February 23, 2001, to file its response to

the supplemental questionnaire, which

the Department subsequently granted on

February 7, 2001. On February 23, 2001,

each respondent submitted its

supplemental questionnaire response.

On February 20, 2001, the

respondents and the petitioner

submitted publicly available

information. On February 27, 2001, the

respondents and the petitioner provided

rebuttal comments on the publicly

available information submitted by the

other.

On March 2, 2001, the Department

provided a verification outline to each
