for tape and nails than the more

contemporaneous IBIS data (which was

based on one shipment of tape and 12

shipments of nails from one country).

To value pallet wood, we used an April

1995–March 1996 import value per

kilogram from Monthly Statistics rather

than values obtained after March 1996,

because the more contemporaneous

values appeared aberrational relative to

the overall value of the subject

merchandise (see Brake Rotors Second

Administrative Review). Moreover, we

used the value per kilogram from

Monthly Statistics rather than the more

contemporaneous value per piece from

IBIS because the value from IBIS did not

indicate the size or weight of a piece of

wood in a manner which would have

allowed the Department to value the

factor reported by the respondent.

Preliminary Results of the Review

We preliminarily determine that the

following margin exists for Hongfa

during the period April 1, 1999, through

March 31, 2000:

Manufacturer/producer/exporter Margin

percent

Hongfa Machinery (Dalian) Co.,

Ltd. ........................................ 0.00

We will disclose the calculations used

in our analysis to parties to this

proceeding within five days of the date

of publication of this notice. Any

interested party may request a hearing

within 30 days of publication of this

notice. Any hearing, if requested, will

be held on January 31, 2001.

Interested parties who wish to request

a hearing or to participate if one is

requested, must submit a written

request to the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration, Room B–099,

within 30 days of the date of publication

of this notice. Requests should contain:

(1) The party’s name, address, and

telephone number; (2) the number of

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be

discussed. See 19 CFR 351.310(c).

Issues raised in the hearing will be

limited to those raised in case briefs and

rebuttal briefs. Case briefs from

interested parties may be submitted not

later than 30 days after the date of

publication of this notice. Rebuttal

briefs, limited to issues raised in the

case briefs, will be due not later 37 days

after the date of publication of this

notice. Parties who submit case briefs or

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are

requested to submit with each argument

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

brief summary of the argument. Parties

are also encouraged to provide a

summary of the arguments not to exceed

five pages and a table of statutes,

regulations, and cases cited.

The Department will issue the final

results of these administrative and new

shipper reviews, including the results of

its analysis of issues raised in any such

written briefs or at the hearing, if held,

not later than 120 days after the date of

publication of this notice.

Assessment Rates

The Department shall determine, and

Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we

will calculate importer-specific ad

valorem duty assessment rates based on

the ratio of the total amount of the

dumping margins calculated for the

examined sales to the total entered

value of those same sales. In order to

estimate the entered value, we will

subtract applicable movement expenses

from the gross sales value. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),

we will instruct Customs to liquidate

without regard to antidumping duties

all entries of subject merchandise

during the POR for which the importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de

minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).

For entries subject to the PRC-wide rate,

Customs shall assess ad valorem duties

at the rate established in the LTFV

investigation. The Department will issue

appropriate appraisement instructions

directly to Customs upon completion of

this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

Upon completion of this new shipper

review, for entries from Hongfa, we will

require cash deposits at the rate

established in the final results pursuant

to 19 CFR 351.214(e) and as further

described below.

The following deposit requirements

will be effective upon publication of the

final results of these administrative and

new shipper antidumping duty

administrative reviews for all shipments

of brake rotors from the PRC entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of

the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for

Hongfa will be the rate established in

the final results; (2) the cash deposit rate

for PRC exporters who received a

separate rate in a prior segment of the

proceeding will continue to be the rate

assigned in that segment of the

proceeding; (3) the cash deposit rate for

the PRC NME entity (including

Luoyang) will continue to be 43.32

percent; and (4) the cash deposit rate for

non-PRC exporters of subject

merchandise from the PRC will be the

rate applicable to the PRC supplier of

that exporter. These requirements, when

imposed, shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the

next administrative review.

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a preliminary

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.

These administrative and new shipper

administrative reviews and notice are in

accordance with section 751(a)(1) and

(2)(B) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)

and (2)(B)) and 19 CFR 351.213 and

351.214.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Statutory Time Limits

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),

requires the Department of Commerce

(‘‘the Department’’) to make a

preliminary determination within 245

days after the last day of the anniversary

month of an order for which a review

is requested, and a final determination

within 120 days after the date on which

the preliminary determination is

published. However, if it is not

1310 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2001 / Notices

practicable to complete the review

within these time periods, section

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

Department to extend the time limit for

the preliminary determination to a

maximum of 365 days and for the final

determination to 180 days (or 300 days

if the Department does not extend the

time limit for the preliminary

determination) from the date of

publication of the preliminary

determination.

Background

On August 31,1999, Tubos de Acero

de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (‘‘TAMSA’’)

and Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (‘‘Hylsa’’)

requested that the Department conduct

an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on oil country

tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’) from Mexico.

The Department initiated this review on

September 24, 1999. See 64 FR 53318

(October 1, 1999). On September 12,

2000, the Department published the

preliminary results of the review in the

Federal Register (65 FR 54998). The

final results are due no later than

January 10, 2001.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results of Review

We determine that it is not practicable

to complete the final results of this

review within the original time limits

mandated by section 751 (a)(3)(A) of the

Act. The Department is therefore

extending the time limit for completion

of the final results until no later than

March 12, 2001. See Decision

Memorandum from Richard Weible to

Joseph A. Spetrini, dated December 29,

2000, which is on file in the Central

Records Unit, Room B–099 of the main

Commerce building.

This extension of the time limit is in

accordance with section 751 (a)(3)(A) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

Dated: December 29, 2000.
