initiated an antidumping duty new 

shipper review. See New Pneumatic 

Off–the-Road Tires from the People’s 

Republic of China: Initiation of New 

Shipper Review, 74 FR 56575 

(‘‘Initiation Notice’’). On March 22, 2009, 

OGF withdrew its request for a new 

shipper review. On April 12, 2010, we 

placed on the record and served to 

parties a memo stating that the 

Department intended to rescind the 

above–referenced new shipper review. 

We allowed parties to comment on the 

intended rescission by no later than 

April 19, 2010. See Memorandum to the 

File regarding: Withdrawal of Request 

for NSR from OGF, dated April 12, 

2010. On April 14, 2010, the 

Department received a letter from Titan 

Tire Corporation (‘‘Titan’’) stating that 

Titan had no objection to the 

Department’s intended rescission of the 

new shipper review. See Letter from 

Titan regarding: Comments on Proposed 

Rescission of New Shipper Review, 

dated April 14, 2010. 

Rescission of New Shipper Review 

19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provides that the 

Department may rescind a new shipper 

review if the party that requested the 

review withdraws its request for review 

within 60 days of the date of publication 

of the notice of initiation of the 

requested review. Although OGF 

withdrew its request after the 60–day 

deadline, we find it reasonable to 

extend the deadline because we have 

not yet committed significant resources 

to the OGF new shipper review (e.g., we 

have not issued our preliminary results). 

Further, in this instance, no other 

company would be affected by a 

rescission, and we have received no 

objections from any party to OGF’s 

withdrawal of its request for this new 

shipper review. Based upon the above, 

we are rescinding the new shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on OTR tires from the PRC with respect 

to OGF. See Hand Trucks and Certain 

Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Notice of Rescission 

of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 

Review, 74 FR 31911 (July 6, 2009) 

(rescinding new shipper review after 

60–day deadline on same grounds). As 

the Department is rescinding this new 

shipper review, we are not calculating a 

company–specific rate for OGF, and 

OGF will remain part of the PRC entity. 

Notifications 

Because OGF remains part of the PRC 

entity, its entries may be under review 

in the ongoing administrative review. 

Accordingly, the Department will not 

order liquidation of entries for OGF. The 

Department intends to issue liquidation 

instructions for the PRC entity, which 

will cover any entries by OGF, 15 days 

after publication of the final results of 

the ongoing administrative review. 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders (‘‘APO’’) 

of their responsibility concerning the 

return or destructions of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a). 

Timely written notification of the 

return/destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination and notice in accordance 

with section 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(f)(3). 

Dated: April 26, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

Subsidy Programs Provided by 

Countries Exporting Softwood Lumber 

and Softwood Lumber Products to the 

United States; Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Department) seeks public comment on 

any subsidies, including stumpage 

subsidies, provided by certain countries 

exporting softwood lumber or softwood 

lumber products to the United States 

during the period July 1 through 

December 31, 2009. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

within thirty days after publication of 

this notice. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments (original 

and six copies) should be sent to the 

Secretary of Commerce, Attn: James 

Terpstra, Import Administration, APO/ 

Dockets Unit, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

&Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James Terpstra, Import Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 

482–3965. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 18, 2008, Section 805 of Title 

VIII of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the 

Softwood Lumber Act of 2008) was 

enacted into law. Under this provision, 

the Secretary of Commerce is mandated 

to submit to the appropriate 

Congressional committees a report every 

180 days on any subsidies provided by 

countries exporting softwood lumber or 

softwood lumber products to the United 

States, including stumpage subsidies. 

The Department submitted its last 

subsidy report on December 15, 2009. 

As part of its newest report, the 

Department intends to include a list of 

subsidy programs identified with 

sufficient clarity by the public in 

response to this notice. 

Request for Comment 

Given the large number of countries 

that export softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products to the United 

States, we are soliciting public comment 

only on subsidies provided by countries 

whose exports accounted for at least one 

percent of total U.S. imports of softwood 

lumber by quantity, as classified under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule code 

4407.1001 (which accounts for the vast 

majority of imports), during the period 

July 1 through December 31, 2009. 

Official U.S. import data published by 

the United States International Trade 

Commission Tariff and Trade DataWeb 

indicate that exports of softwood lumber 

from Canada and Chile each account for 

at least one percent of U.S. imports of 

softwood lumber products during that 

time period. We intend to rely on 

similar previous six-month periods to 

identify the countries subject to future 

reports on softwood lumber subsidies. 

For example, we will rely on U.S. 

imports of softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products during the 

period January 1 through June 30, 2010, 

to select the countries subject to the 

next report. 

Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists 

where a government authority: (i) 

provides a financial contribution; (ii) 

provides any form of income or price 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
22744 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 83 / Friday, April 30, 2010 / Notices 

support within the meaning of Article 

XVI of the GATT 1994; or (iii) makes a 

payment to a funding mechanism to 

provide a financial contribution to a 

person, or entrusts or directs a private 

entity to make a financial contribution, 

if providing the contribution would 

normally be vested in the government 

and the practice does not differ in 

substance from practices normally 

followed by governments, and a benefit 

is thereby conferred. See section 

771(5)(B) of the of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended. 

Parties should include in their 

comments: (1) the country which 

provided the subsidy; (2) the name of 

the subsidy program; (3) a brief (3–4 

sentence) description of the subsidy 

program; and (4) the government body 

or authority that provided the subsidy. 

Submission of Comment 

Persons wishing to comment should 

file a signed original and six copies of 

each set of comments by the date 

specified above. The Department will 

not accept comments accompanied by a 

request that a part or all of the material 

be treated confidentially due to business 

proprietary concerns or for any other 

reason. The Department will return such 

comments and materials to the persons 

submitting the comments and will not 

include them in its report on softwood 

lumber subsidies. The Department also 

requests submission of comments in 

electronic form to accompany the 

required paper copies. Comments filed 

in electronic form should be submitted 

on CD–ROM with the paper copies or by
