Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 14, 2010 / Notices 55741 

1The Federal Register notice lists eighteen 

companies; however, the Department received a 

timely request by ACA to defer for one year the 

initiation of the December 1, 2008, through 

November 30, 2009 administrative review of its 

sales and entries of honey subject to the 

antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c). The 

Department received no objections to this request 

from any party cited in 19 CFR 351.213(c)(1)(ii), 

and therefore deferred for one year the initiation of 

the review for such exporter in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(c). See Initiation Notice, 75 FR at 

4772–73. 

2The withdrawal of the request for review was 

submitted by ACA based on the Department’s 

notification in the Federal Register revoking the 

antidumping duty order with respect to honey 

exported by ACA effective December 1, 2008. 

Because the order covering honey from Argentina 

is revoked with respect to ACA, all entries of 

subject merchandise exported by ACA will be 

liquidated without antidumping duties. 

Accordingly, there will be no relevant entries that 

might be subject to an antidumping review. See 

Continued 

allows the Department to extend the 

time limit for the preliminary 

determination to a maximum of 365 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results of Review 

We determine that it is not practicable 

to complete the preliminary results of 

this administrative review within the 

original time limit because the 

Department requires additional time to 

analyze questionnaire responses, issue 

supplemental questionnaires, conduct 

verification, and to evaluate surrogate 

value submissions. 

Therefore, the Department is 

extending the time limit for completion 

of the preliminary results of the 

administrative review by 120 days. The 

preliminary results will now be due no 

later than February 28, 2011, the first 

business day following 120 days from 

the current deadline. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after the 

publication of the preliminary results. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: September 8, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2009, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on, inter alia, 

honey from Argentina. See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 74 FR 62743 

(December 1, 2009). In response and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), on 

December 31, 2009, the Asociacion de 

Cooperativas Argentinas S.A. (ACA), 

Nexco S.A. (Nexco), and Compania 

Inversora Platense S.A. (CIPSA) 

requested an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on honey 

from Argentina for the period December 

1, 2008, through November 30, 2009. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), the 

American Honey Producers Association 

and the Sioux Honey Association 

(collectively, petitioners), also on 

December 31, 2009, requested that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on honey from Argentina for the 

December 1, 2008, through November 

30, 2009 period of review (POR) of 

entries of subject merchandise made by 

eighteen Argentine producers/exporters. 

On January 29, 2010, the Department 

initiated a review on seventeen 

companies 1 for which an administrative 

review was requested. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Request for 

Revocation in Part, and Deferral of 

Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 

FR 4770 (January 29, 2010) (Initiation 

Notice). On February 17, 2010, the 

Department informed interested parties 

to this administrative review of its 

intent to limit the number of companies 

to be examined. The Department 

encouraged all interested parties to 

submit comments regarding the use of 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

entry data for respondent selection 

purposes. See the Memorandum to the 

File, ‘‘United States Customs and Border 

Protection Entry Data for Selection of 

Respondents for Individual Review,’’ 

dated February 17, 2010. On March 5, 

2010, the Department selected the four 

producers/exporters with the largest 

export volume during the POR as 

mandatory respondents: HoneyMax S.A. 

(HoneyMax), Nexco S.A. (Nexco), 

Patagonik S.A. (Patagonik), and 

TransHoney S.A. (TransHoney). See the 

Memorandum to Richard Weible, 

‘‘Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Honey 

from Argentina: Respondent Selection 

Memorandum,’’ dated March 5, 2010. 

On March 9, 2010, the Department 

issued its antidumping duty 

questionnaire to all four mandatory 

respondents. On March 31, 2010 and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

petitioners timely withdrew their 

request for review of Honey Max. On 

April 7, 2010, petitioners and Nexco 

timely withdrew their requests for 

review for Nexco. On April 16, 2010, 

petitioners timely withdrew their 

request for review with respect to all 

companies except TransHoney, 

Patagonik, CIPSA, and ACA. 

Accordingly, the Department informed 

interested parties of its intent to rescind 

the review for all companies except 

TransHoney, Patagonik, and CIPSA, to 

continue with its deferral of the review 

with respect to ACA, and to select 

CIPSA as a mandatory respondent. See 

the Memorandum to the File, ‘‘2008/ 

2009 Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Honey 

from Argentina: Selection of New 

Mandatory Respondent,’’ dated April 19, 

2010. 

On April 29, 2010, ACA timely 

withdrew its request for review 

submitted on December 31, 2009.2

Honey from Argentina: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 

Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 75 FR 23674 

(May 4, 2010). 

Period of Review 

The POR is December 1, 2008, 

through November 30, 2009. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

honey from Argentina. The products 

covered are natural honey, artificial 

honey containing more than 50 percent 

natural honey by weight, preparations of 

natural honey containing more than 50 

percent natural honey by weight, and 

flavored honey. The subject 

merchandise includes all grades and 

colors of honey whether in liquid, 

creamed, comb, cut comb, or chunk 

form, and whether packaged for retail or 

in bulk form. 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is currently classifiable under 

subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90.90, 

and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs, 

the Department’s written description of 

the merchandise under this order is 

dispositive. 

Rescission, in Part, of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review under this section, in whole or 

in part, if a party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation of the requested review. 

Based on petitioners’ and 

respondents’ withdrawal of their 

requests of administrative review within 

the 90-day deadline, the Department is 

rescinding, in part, the antidumping 

duty administrative review on honey 

from Argentina for the period December 

1, 2008 to November 30, 2009 with 

respect to the following companies: 

AGLH S.A., Algodonera Avellaneda 

S.A., Alimentos Naturales-Natural 

Foods, Alma Pura, Bomare S.A., 

Compania Apicola Argentina S.A., El 

Mana S.A., Interrupcion S.A., Mielar 

S.A., Miel Ceta SRL., Productos Afer 

S.A., Seabird Argentina S.A., Honey 

Max, Nexco, and ACA. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to complete the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. 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 limit for 

the preliminary results to a maximum of 

365 days after the last day of the 

anniversary month of an order for which 

a review is requested. 

The Department has determined it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the statutory time limit because 

we require additional time to gather cost 

of production data for Patagonik’s 

suppliers of honey and sales 

information from CIPSA. The time 

needed to analyze cost of production 

data and CIPSA’s sales information and 

to develop fully the record in this 

administrative review makes it 

impracticable to complete the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the originally specified time limit. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for completion 

of the preliminary results of this 

administrative review to the maximum 

of 365 days. 

Tolling of Deadlines 

In addition, the Department exercised 

its discretion to toll deadlines for the 

duration of the closure of the Federal 

Government from February 5, through 

February 12, 2010, as explained in the 

memorandum from the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary (DAS) for Import 

Administration. Thus, all deadlines in 

this segment of the proceeding were 

extended by seven days. See 

Memorandum to the Record from 

Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import 

Administration, regarding 

‘‘Tolling of Administrative Deadlines 

As a Result of the Government Closure 

During the Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated 

February 12, 2010. Therefore, the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this review became no later than 

January 7, 2011. We intend to issue the 

final results no later than 120 days after 

publication of the notice of our 

preliminary results of review. 

Notification to Parties 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

section 351.402(f) of the Department’s 

regulations to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this period of 

time. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and subsequent assessment of 

double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with section 351.305(a)(3) of the 

Department’s regulations. Timely 

written notification of the return or 

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 sanctionable violation. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 351.213(d)(4) of 

the Department’s regulations and 

sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.
