Department’’) received a request to

conduct a new shipper review of the

antidumping duty order on structural

steel beams from Japan. We are

initiating this new shipper review in

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and

19 CFR 351.214(d).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’), are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations at 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

On April 25, 2000, the Department

published its final determination in the

less than fair value investigation on

structural steel beams from Japan. See

Structural Steel Beams from Japan, 65

FR 24182 (April 25, 2000) (final

determination). On June 19, 2000, the

Department published its antidumping

duty order on structural steel beams

from Japan. See Structural Steel Beams

from Japan, 65 FR 37960 (June 19, 2000)

(order). Accordingly, the anniversary

month is June. On December 27, 2000,

Yamato Kogyo Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yamato

Kogyo’’) requested a new shipper review

of the antidumping duty order on

structural steel beams from Japan,

covering Yamato Kogyo’s U.S. sales of

structural steel beams.

Period of Review

The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is June

1, 2000 through November 30, 2000.

Initiation of Review

In accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2), Yamato Kogyo certified

that: (1) it did not export subject

merchandise to the United States during

the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) (July

1, 1998 through June 30, 1999); and (2)

since the initiation of the investigation,

it has never been affiliated with any

exporter or producer who exported the

subject merchandise to the United

States during the POI, including those

exporters or producers not individually

examined during the investigation.

Yamato Kogyo also submitted

documentation establishing the

following: (1) The date on which it first

shipped subject merchandise for export

to the United States; (2) the volume of

that shipment; and (3) the date of the

first sale to an unaffiliated customer in

the United States.

As Yamato Kogyo meets the eligibility

requirements for a new shipper review,

we are initiating a new shipper review

of the antidumping duty order on

structural steel beams from Japan, in

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(ii)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1),

with respect to Yamato Kogyo. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1),

we intend to issue the preliminary

results of this review no later than 180

days after the day on which this new

shipper review is initiated.

Concurrent with publication of this

notice, and in accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(e), we will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to allow, at the option

of the importer, the posting of a bond or

security in lieu of a cash deposit for

each entry of the merchandise exported

by Yamato Kogyo until the completion

of this new shipper review.

The interested parties must submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective order in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and

351.306.

This initiation notice is published in

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(ii)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and

351.221(c)(1)(i).

Dated: January 31, 2001.
