Box 3000, Anthony, TX 88021, Respondent; Order Relating to Jianwei Ding The Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘BIS’’), has notified Jianwei Ding (‘‘Ding’’), in his individual capacity, of its intention to initiate an administrative proceeding against him pursuant to Section 766.3 of the Export Administration Regulations E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 150 / Thursday, August 4, 2011 / Notices (the ‘‘Regulations’’),1 and Section 13(c) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’),2 through the issuance of a proposed charging letter to Ding that alleges that he committed one violation of the Regulations. Specifically, the allegations are: Charge 1 15 CFR 764.2(d)—Conspiracy to Export Items From the United States to China Without the Required Licenses sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Beginning at least in or around February 2007, and continuing through at least in or around April 2008, Ding conspired or acted in concert with others, known and unknown, to violate the Regulations or to bring about an act that constitutes a violation of the Regulations. The purpose of the conspiracy was to export items subject to the Regulations from the United States to the People’s Republic of China (‘‘China’’), without the required U.S. Government authorization. Specifically, Ding and others conspired to export Toray M40JB–6000–50B carbon fiber (‘‘Toray M40’’) and Toray M60JB–6000–50B carbon fiber (‘‘Toray M60’’) from the United States to China without a license. The Toray M40 was subject to the Regulations, classified under Export Control Classification Number (‘‘ECCN’’) 1C010.b, controlled for export to China for nuclear proliferation and national security reasons, and valued at approximately $91,800. The Toray M60 was an item subject to the Regulations, classified under ECCN 1C210.a, controlled for export to China for nuclear proliferation reasons, and valued at approximately $223,600. These exports required a license pursuant to Sections 742.3 and 742.4 of the Regulations. In furtherance of the conspiracy, Ding, as the manager of Jowa Globaltech Pte. Ltd., a.k.a. FirmSpace Pte. Ltd. (‘‘FirmSpace’’), and Far Eastron Co. Pte. Ltd., Singapore-based companies that acquired items for customers including the China Academy of Space Technology (‘‘CAST’’), participated in a scheme whereby he directed activities in Singapore and the United States to obtain the Toray materials for CAST, maintained a relationship with CAST, and provided the money required to purchase Toray material for export to CAST. In furtherance of the conspiracy, Ding, knowing that his Singapore companies were arranging for the purchase of Toray materials 1 The violation alleged to have been committed occurred in 2007 and 2008. The Regulations governing the violation at issue are found in the 2007 through 2008 versions of the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR parts 730–774 (2007, 2008)). The 2011 Regulations set forth the procedures that apply to this matter. 2 50 U.S.C. app. 2401–2420 (2000). Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13,222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, part 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)) which has been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of August 12, 2010 (75 FR 50,681 (Aug. 16, 2010)), has continued the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.).

VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:29 Aug 03, 2011 Jkt 223001 from what Ding believed to be a U.S. supplier of Toray materials, instructed co-conspirator Ping Cheng, a U.S. individual, to inspect the merchandise and determine its authenticity. On or about April 17, 2007, Ding sent an email to Cheng requesting that Cheng fly to Minnesota from New York to inspect a lot of 104 kilograms of Toray M60 material. On or about June 29, 2007, Ding directed Cheng to travel to Minnesota to inspect a lot of 211 kilograms of Toray M40 material. Upon receiving reports and pictures of the items from Cheng, Ding then instructed FirmSpace to issue purchase orders to the apparent U.S. supplier and authorized wire transfers for payment for the Toray M60 and Toray M40 materials in FirmSpace’s name, thereby obscuring CAST’s role in the transaction. Ding took these actions despite repeated warnings that an export license was required for the Toray material. Specifically, on or about March 28, 2007, and again on or about April 5, 2007, Ding received two e-mails from an individual he believed to be a U.S. supplier of the Toray materials that informed him of licensing requirements for the Toray M60 material. Again, on or about May 7, 2007, Ding received an e-mail from an individual he believed to be a U.S. supplier of the Toray materials that informed him of licensing requirements for the Toray M40 material. Nevertheless, Ding instructed his co-conspirators to go forward with this transaction and to export the Toray materials, which were destined for CAST. Following the completion of these purchases, the materials were moved to New York for storage in anticipation of export. Thereafter on or about October 12, 2007, Ding requested that Cheng make a test export of one box of the Toray M40 materials from the United States, and Ding provided to Cheng the name of a specific individual at a specific company that would facilitate the export. When the efforts of Cheng to reach the specific individual provided by Ding were unsuccessful, on or about November 17, 2007, Cheng asked Ding to provide additional instructions and informed Ding that he ‘‘had to make up the story [when] I call for [a] rate quote.’’ On or about November 22, 2007, Ding advised Cheng to try again and to ‘‘only say ‘a customer do[es] have one box goods ship to Taiwan’ she will know.’’ Finally, in furtherance of the conspiracy, on or about April 7, 2008, Ding sent Cheng an e-mail directing the export from the United States of the 104 kilograms of Toray M60 material to Jowa Globaltech Pte. Ltd., a.k.a. FirmSpace, in Singapore and of the 211 kilograms of Toray M40 material to New Bluesky Technology Co. Ltd. in Hong Kong. These exports were destined for CAST in China. In so doing, Ding committed one violation of Section 764.2(d) of the Regulations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alexis Polovina, Office 9, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3927. AGENCY: Background On August 2, 2010, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review on the antidumping order on certain steel nails from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) for the period of review (‘‘POR’’) August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 45094 (August 2, 2010). Based upon requests for review from various parties, on September 29, 2010, the Department initiated the first antidumping duty administrative review on certain steel nails from the PRC, covering 222 companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 60076 (September 29, 2010) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). On April 28, 2011, the Department published a notice of a partial rescission and an extension of the time period for issuing the preliminary results by 90 days, to August 1, 2011. See Certain Steel Nails From the Peoples’ Republic of China: Notice of Extension of Time Limits and Partial Rescission of the Second Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 23788 (April 28, 2011). On July 11, 2011, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(j), we aligned the concurrent new shipper review of Shanghai Colour Nail Co., Ltd. with the second administrative review. Statutory Time Limits Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires the Department to make a preliminary PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 results are published. However, if it is not 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 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 these reviews within the current time limits. The Department requires additional time to analyze recently submitted supplemental questionnaire responses, which contained a significant amount of new sales and factors of production data. The additional time is needed to consider these data and their incorporation into the margin calculations for the individuallyreviewed respondents, as well as to consider all of the issues raised by parties during the course of these proceedings. Therefore, the Department is hereby fully extending the time limits for completion of the preliminary results by 30 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than August 31, 2011. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results. This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: July 28, 2011.

Charge 1 15 CFR 764.2(d)--Conspiracy to Export Items From the United
States to China Without the Required Licenses
Beginning at least in or around February 2007, and continuing
through at least in or around April 2008, Ding conspired or acted in
concert with others, known and unknown, to violate the Regulations
or to bring about an act that constitutes a violation of the
Regulations. The purpose of the conspiracy was to export items
subject to the Regulations from the United States to the People's
Republic of China (``China''), without the required U.S. Government
authorization. Specifically, Ding and others conspired to export
Toray M40JB-6000-50B carbon fiber (``Toray M40'') and Toray M60JB-
6000-50B carbon fiber (``Toray M60'') from the United States to
China without a license. The Toray M40 was subject to the
Regulations, classified under Export Control Classification Number
(``ECCN'') 1C010.b, controlled for export to China for nuclear
proliferation and national security reasons, and valued at
approximately $91,800. The Toray M60 was an item subject to the
Regulations, classified under ECCN 1C210.a, controlled for export to
China for nuclear proliferation reasons, and valued at approximately
$223,600. These exports required a license pursuant to Sections
742.3 and 742.4 of the Regulations.
In furtherance of the conspiracy, Ding, as the manager of Jowa
Globaltech Pte. Ltd., a.k.a. FirmSpace Pte. Ltd. (``FirmSpace''),
and Far Eastron Co. Pte. Ltd., Singapore-based companies that
acquired items for customers including the China Academy of Space
Technology (``CAST''), participated in a scheme whereby he directed
activities in Singapore and the United States to obtain the Toray
materials for CAST, maintained a relationship with CAST, and

to inspect the merchandise and determine its authenticity. On or

Ding took these actions despite repeated warnings that an export

2008, Ding sent Cheng an e-mail directing the export from the United

of Toray M40 material to New Bluesky Technology Co. Ltd. in Hong
