53150 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 7, 2005 / Notices 

Background 

AMS received two petitions from the 

NWA requesting a revision to the 

United States Standards for Grades of 

Watermelons. In the first petition, the 

NWA requested that the USDA revise 

the standards by defining seedless 

watermelons as: ‘‘Seedless 

Watermelons’’ are watermelons which 

have 16 or less mature seeds, not to 

include pips/caplets, on the face of the 

melon which has been cut into four 

equal sections (one lengthwise cut and 

one crosswise cut). The petitioner also 

requested the size requirements be 

revised by adding an allowance for 

watermelons to vary 3 pounds above the 

stated average weight. 

Prior to undertaking research and 

other work associated with a revision of 

the grade standards, AMS decided to 

seek public comments on the petition. A 

notice requesting comments on the 

petition to revise the United States 

Standards for Grades of Watermelons 

was published in the April 22, 2004, 

Federal Register (69 FR 21812). 

In response to our request for 

comments, AMS received one comment 

from an industry group. The comment 

was in favor of the proposed revision of 

the standards. 

On October 29, 2004, AMS published 

a notice in the Federal Register (69 FR 

209) proposing to revise the standards 

based on the petitioner request to define 

seedless watermelons and add a 

variance to the size requirements. 

A 60-day comment period was 

provided for interested parties to 

comment on the proposed changes to 

the standards. 

In response to our request for 

comments, AMS received two 

comments on the proposed revision. 

One from an industry group 

representing receivers and one comment 

from a consumer. Both commenters 

supported the inclusion of a definition 

for seedless watermelons with a lower 

number of allowable seed count. The 

commenter representing receivers 

supported the inclusion of a 3 pound 

variance in the size requirements, while 

the other commenter supported a 1 

pound variance. The comments are 

available by accessing AMS’s Home 

Page on the Internet at: http:// 

www.ams.usda.gov/fv/ 

fpbdocketlist.htm. 

After the comment period ended, 

AMS received a second petition from 

the NWA amending the seedless 

watermelon definition in their original 

petition. The amended petition is 

requesting that seedless watermelons be 

defined as: ‘‘Watermelons which have 

10 or less mature seeds, not to include 

pips/caplets, on the face of the melon 

which has been cut into four equal 

sections (one lengthwise cut and one 

crosswise cut).’’ NWA did not amend 

their petition in regard to the inclusion 

of a the 3 pound variance. 

Based on the submitted information 

and comments received, AMS is 

proposing to revise the standards for 

watermelons following the standard 

format for U.S. Grade Standards. 

Specifically, the proposed revision will 

define seedless watermelons by 

including the following definition: 

‘‘Seedless Watermelons’’ are 

watermelons which have 10 or less 

mature seeds, not to include pips/ 

caplets, on the face of the melon which 

has been cut into four equal sections 

(one lengthwise cut and one crosswise 

cut). 

AMS is also proposing to change the 

size requirements by adding an 

allowance for watermelons to vary 3 

pounds above the stated average weight. 

As previously stated, one commenter 

recommended a 1 pound variance rather 

then 3 pound variance. However, AMS 

is proposing to change the size 

requirements by adding an allowance 

for watermelons to vary 3 pounds above 

average weight as the standard currently 

allows watermelons to vary 3 pounds 

below the stated weight, therefore the 

inclusion would be consistent within 

the standards. 

This proposal will bring the standards 

for watermelons in line with current 

marketing practices, thereby, improving 

the usefulness of the standards in 

serving the industry. The official grade 

of a lot of watermelons covered by these 

standards will be determined by the 

procedures set forth in the Regulations 

Governing Inspection, Certification, and 

Standards of Fresh Fruits, Vegetables 

and Other Products (Sec. 51.1 to 51.61). 

This notice provides for a 60-day 

comment period for interested parties to 

comment on changes to the standards.

Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, 

Line, and Pressure Pipe (Under 4 W

Japan, Romania, and South Africa; 

Final Results of the Expedited Sunset 

Reviews of the Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On May 2, 2005, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) initiated sunset reviews of 

the antidumping duty orders on certain 

carbon and alloy seamless standard, 

line, and pressure pipe (under 4 W 

inches) (seamless pipe) from the Czech 

Republic, Japan, Romania, and South 

Africa pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

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

On the basis of a notice of intent to 

participate and adequate substantive 

responses filed on behalf of domestic 

interested parties and no response from 

respondent interested parties, the 

Department conducted expedited (120- 

day) sunset reviews. As a result of these 

sunset reviews, the Department finds 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping. 

The dumping margins are identified in 

the Final Results of Review section of 

this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 2005.
