El Mana responded to the Department’s 

questionnaires on March 3 and March 4, 

2005 (section A), and March 21, 2005 

(sections B and C) (QR). On February 8, 

2005, the Department issued a 

questionnaire to the importer of record 

for the U.S. sale at issue. The importer 

responded on March 21, 2005. 

On April 26, 2005, the Department 

issued its first supplemental 

questionnaire to El Mana. El Mana 

responded on May 19, 2005. The 

Department issued a second 

supplemental questionnaire to El Mana 

on May 24, 2005, to which El Mana 

responded on May 31, 2005. The 

Department then requested additional 

information on June 20, 2005, to which 

El Mana filed its response on July 5, 

2005. Petitioners submitted comments 

to the supplemental questionnaire 

responses (SQR) on July 8, 2005. On 

July 25, 2005, the Department issued a 

final supplemental questionnaire, to 

which El Mana responded on August 

12, 2005. 

On June 23, 2005, the Department 

published a notice of extension of the 

time limit for the completion of the 

preliminary results until November 28, 

2005. See 70 FR 36374. 

On September 26, the Department 

issued a memorandum ‘‘New Shipper 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

on Honey from Argentina: Intent to 

Rescind the Review with Respect to El 

Mana. ‘‘ On October 6, 2005, both 

petitioners (the American Honey 

Producers Association and the Sioux 

Honey Association) and the respondent 

El Mana provided comments to our 

stated intent to rescind. On October 11, 

2005, both petitioners and respondent 

issued rebuttal comments. On October 

14, 2005, petitioners provided 

additional comments concerning new 

information in respondent’s rebuttal 

comments. On November 10, 2005, the 

Department rejected El Mana’s rebuttal 

comments dated October 11, 2005, and 

asked El Mana to resubmit the rebuttal 

comments without reference to the new 

information included in the October 11, 

2005, submission. At the same time, the 

Department rejected petitioners 

additional comments, dated October 14, 

2005, as they included references to the 

new information referenced by El Mana 

in its October 11, 2005, submission. El 

Mana refiled its rebuttal comments on 

November 15, 2005, and these were also 

rejected for the same reasons. 

Subsequently, El Mana refiled the 

comments on November 16, 2005. 

Analysis of New Shipper Review 

On September 26, 2005, the 

Department issued a memorandum 

detailing our intent to rescind this 

review because we preliminarily 

determined the cooperative that 

supplied El Mana with the subject 

merchandise knew, or should have 

known, that the final destination of the 

subject merchandise was the United 

States. See Memorandum to Barbara E. 

Tillman, entitled ‘‘New Shipper Review 

of the Antidumping Duty Order on 

Honey from Argentina: Intent to Rescind 

the Review with Respect to El Mana,’’

dated August September 26, 2005 

(Intent to Rescind Memorandum). 

The Department preliminarily 

determined the cooperative had in its 

possession at the time of sale of the 

subject merchandise to El Mana, labels 

indicating the final destination of the 

subject merchandise as the United 

States. The totality of the facts on the 

record led the Department to conclude 

that the cooperative had or should have 

had knowledge that the merchandise 

was destined for the United States. The 

Department stated that because there 

was no request for a review of the 

cooperative’s sale to El Mana and 

because El Mana made no other sales 

during the POR, the Department 

intended to rescind the current new 

shipper review of El Mana. 

Rescission of New Shipper Review 

For the reasons stated in the 

accompanying Rescission Memorandum 

and as outlined above, and pursuant to 

section 751(a)(2)(B) and 19 CFR 

351.214(f), we are rescinding this new 

shipper review. Parties can find a 

complete discussion of the issues raised 

in this new shipper review and the 

corresponding recommendations in this 

memorandum, which is on file in the 

Central Records Unit, room B–099 of the 

main Commerce Building. Since the 

Department is rescinding the new 

shipper review, we are not calculating a 

company–specific rate for El Mana. 

Notification 

The Department will notify U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

that bonding is no longer permitted to 

fulfill security requirements for 

shipments of Argentine honey by El 

Mana entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption in the 

United States on or after the publication 

of this rescission notice in the Federal 

Register, and that a cash deposit of 

30.24 percent ad valorem should be 

collected for any entries exported by El 

Mana. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination and notice in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of 

the Act. 

Dated: November 28, 2005.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2005, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice for an opportunity to request an 

administrative review of non–malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the People’s 

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 70 FR 16799 

(April 1, 2005). As a result of a request 

for a review filed by Myland Industrial 

Co., Ltd. and Buxin Myland (Foundry) 

Ltd. (collectively ‘‘Myland’’) on April 

25, 2005, the Department published in 

the Federal Register a notice of the 

initiation of the antidumping duty 

administrative review of non–malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC for 

the period April 1, 2004, through March 

31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping 

72296 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 231 / Friday, December 2, 2005 / Notices 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 70 FR 30694 (May 27, 2005). The 

preliminary results of review are 

currently due no later than December 

31, 2005. 

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue 

preliminary results within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order. However, if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within this time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the time period to 

a maximum of 365 days. Completion of 

the preliminary results of this review 

within the 245-day period is not 

practicable because the Department 

needs additional time to analyze 

information pertaining to the 

respondent’s sales practices, factors of 

production, and corporate relationships, 

to evaluate certain issues raised by the 

petitioners, and to issue and review 

responses to supplemental 

questionnaires. 

Because it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the time 

specified under the Act, we are fully 

extending the time period for issuing 

the preliminary results of review by 120 

days until April 30, 2006, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Further, because April 30, 2006, falls on 

a Sunday, the preliminary results will 

be due on May 1, 2006, the next 

business day. The final results continue 

to be due 120 days after the publication 

of the preliminary results. This notice is 

published pursuant to sections 751(a) 

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: November 28, 2005.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
