Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 214 / Monday, November 7, 2005 / Notices 67455 

If the final results of this review 

remain the same as these preliminary 

results, the Department intends to 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), within 15 days of 

publication of the final results of this 

review, to liquidate without regard to 

countervailing duties all shipments of 

subject merchandise exported by Nima 

and produced by Razi, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption during the POR. Should 

the final results of this review remain 

the same as these preliminary results, 

the Department will also instruct CBP 

not to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties on all shipments 

of the subject merchandise exported by 

Nima and produced by Razi, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

Because the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (URAA) replaced the 

general rule in favor of a country–wide 

rate with a general rule in favor of 

individual rates for investigated and 

reviewed companies, the procedures for 

establishing countervailing duty rates, 

including those for non–reviewed 

companies, are now essentially the same 

as those in antidumping cases, except as 

provided for in section 777A(e)(2)(B) of 

the Act. The requested review will 

normally cover only those companies 

specifically named. See 19 CFR 

351.213(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(c), for all companies for which 

a review was not requested, duties must 

be assessed and cash deposits must 

continue to be collected at the cash 

deposit rate previously ordered. As 

such, the countervailing duty cash 

deposit rate applicable to a company 

can no longer change, except pursuant 

to a request for a review of that 

company. See Federal–Mogul 

Corporation and The Torrington 

Company v. United States, 822 F. Supp. 

782 (CIT 1993), and Floral Trade 

Council v. United States, 822 F. Supp. 

766 (CIT 1993) (interpreting 19 CFR 

353.22(e), the old antidumping 

regulation on automatic assessment, 

which is identical to the current 

regulation, 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(ii)). 

Therefore, the cash deposit rates for all 

companies except those covered by this 

review will be unchanged by the results 

of this review. 

We will instruct CBP to continue to 

collect cash deposits for non–reviewed 

companies at the most recent company–

specific or country–wide rate applicable 

to the company. Accordingly, the cash 

deposit rates that will be applied to 

non–reviewed companies covered by 

this order will be the rate for that 

company established in the most 

recently completed administrative 

proceeding. See Certain In–Shell 

Pistachios from the Islamic Republic of 

Iran: Final Results of Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Review, 68 FR 

41310 (July 11, 2003). These cash 

deposit rates shall apply to all non–

reviewed companies until a review of a 

company assigned these rates is 

requested. 

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), the 

Department will disclose to parties to 

the proceeding any calculations 

performed in connection with these 

preliminary results within five days 

after the date of the public 

announcement of this notice. Pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.309, interested parties 

may submit written comments in 

response to these preliminary results. 

Unless otherwise indicated by the 

Department, case briefs must be 

submitted within 30 days after the 

publication of these preliminary results. 

Rebuttal briefs, which are limited to 

arguments raised in case briefs, must be 

submitted no later than five days after 

the time limit for filing case briefs, 

unless otherwise specified by the 

Department. Parties who submit 

argument in this proceeding are 

requested to submit with the argument: 

(1) a statement of the issue, and (2) a 

brief summary of the argument. Parties 

submitting case and/or rebuttal briefs 

are requested to provide the Department 

copies of the public version on disk. 

Case and rebuttal briefs must be served 

on interested parties in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.303(f). Also, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.310, within 30 days of the date 

of publication of this notice, interested 

parties may request a public hearing on 

arguments to be raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs. Unless the Secretary 

specifies otherwise, the hearing, if 

requested, will be held two days after 

the date for submission of rebuttal 

briefs. 

Representatives of parties to the 

proceeding may request disclosure of 

proprietary information under 

administrative protective order no later 

than 10 days after the representative’s 

client or employer becomes a party to 

the proceeding, but in no event later 

than the date the case briefs, under 19 

CFR 351.309(c)(ii), are due. The 

Department will publish the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any case or rebuttal brief 

or at a hearing. 

This administrative review and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(3) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Extension of Period of Determination 

on Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China 

November 2, 2005. 

AGENCY: The Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(the Committee). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Committee is extending 

through November 8, 2005, the period 

for making a determination on whether 

to request consultations with China 

regarding imports of women’s and girls’

cotton and man-made fiber shirts and 

blouses, not-knit (Category 341/641). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jay 

Dowling, Office of Textiles and Apparel, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 

482-4058. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture 

Act of 1956, as amended; Executive Order 

11651, as amended. 

Background: 

On July 11, 2005, the Committee 

received a request from the American 

Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, 

the National Council of Textile 

Organizations, the National Textile 

Association, and UNITE HERE 

requesting that the Committee limit 

imports from China of women’s and 

girls’ cotton and man-made fiber shirts 

and blouses, not-knit (Category 341/641) 

due to market disruption. 

The Committee determined that this 

request provided the information 

necessary for the Committee to consider 

the request and solicited public 

comments for a period of 30 days. See 

Solicitation of Public Comments on 

Request for Textile and Apparel 

Safeguard Action on Imports from 

China, 70 FR 44566 (August 3, 2005). 

The Committee’s Procedures, 68 FR 

27787 (May 21, 2003) state that the 

Committee will make a determination 

within 60 calendar days of the close of 

the public comment period as to 

whether the United States will request 

consultations with China. If the 

Committee is unable to make a 

determination within 60 calendar days, 

it will cause to be published a notice in 

the Federal Register, including the date 

by which it will make a determination. 

The 60-day determination period for 

this case expired on November 1, 2005. 

However, the Committee decided to 

extend until November 8, 2005, the 

period for making a determination on 

this case because of consultations with 

the Government of China on a broader 

agreement on textiles.

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation 

of Textile Agreements.
