Enclosure 4 of the January 30, 2008,
supplement to the Petition.
Initiation of Antidumping Investigation
Based upon the examination of the
Petition on SDGE from the PRC, the
Department finds that the Petition meets
the requirements of section 732 of the
Act. Therefore, we are initiating an
antidumping duty investigation to
determine whether imports of SDGE
from the PRC are being, or are likely to
be, sold in the United States at less than
fair value. In accordance with section
733(b)(1)(A) of the Act, unless
postponed, we will make our
preliminary determination no later than
140 days after the date of this initiation.
Separate Rates
In order to obtain separate–rate status
in NME investigations, exporters and
producers must submit a separate–rate
status application. See Policy Bulletin
05.1: Separate–Rates Practice and
Application of Combination Rates in
Antidumping Investigations Involving
Non–Market Economy Countries (April
5, 2005) (Separate Rates and
Combination Rates Bulletin), available
on the Department’s website at http://
ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/bull05–1.pdf.
Based on our experience in processing
the separate–rate applications in
previous antidumping duty
investigations, we have modified the
application for this investigation to
make it more administrable and easier
for applicants to complete. See, e.g.,
Initiation of Antidumping Duty
Investigation: Certain New Pneumatic
Off–the-Road Tires From the People’s
Republic of China, 72 FR 43591, 43594–
95 (August 6, 2007). The specific
requirements for submitting the
separate–rate application in this
investigation are outlined in detail in
the application itself, which will be
available on the Department’s website at
http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ia–highlights-and–
news.html on the date of publication of
this initiation notice in the Federal
Register. The separate–rate application
will be due 60 days after publication of
this initiation notice.
Respondent Selection
For this investigation, the Department
intends to select respondents based on
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) data for U.S. imports under
HTSUS number 8545.11.0000 during
the POI. We intend to make our decision
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
regarding respondent selection within
20 days of publication of this Federal
Register notice. The Department invites
comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within seven days
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001
of publication of this Federal Register
notice.
Use of Combination Rates in an NME
Investigation
The Department will calculate
combination rates for certain
respondents that are eligible for a
separate rate in this investigation. The
Separate Rates and Combination Rates
Bulletin, states:
{w}hile continuing the practice of
assigning separate rates only to
exporters, all separate rates that the
Department will now assign in its
NME investigations will be specific
to those producers that supplied the
exporter during the period of
investigation. Note, however, that
one rate is calculated for the
exporter and all of the producers
which supplied subject
merchandise to it during the period
of investigation. This practice
applies both to mandatory
respondents receiving an
individually calculated separate
rate as well as the pool of non–
investigated firms receiving the
weighted–average of the
individually calculated rates. This
practice is referred to as the
application of ‘‘combination rates’’
because such rates apply to specific
combinations of exporters and one
or more producers. The cash–
deposit rate assigned to an exporter
will apply only to merchandise
both exported by the firm in
question and produced by a firm
that supplied the exporter during
the period of investigation.
(Emphasis in original.)
See Separate Rates and Combination
Rates Bulletin at 6.
Distribution of Copies of the Petition
In accordance with section
732(b)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.202(f), copies of the public version
of the Petition have been provided to
the representatives of the Government of
the PRC. We will attempt to provide a
copy of the public version of the
Petition to the foreign producers/
exporters, consistent with 19 CFR
351.203(c)(2).
International Trade Commission
Notification
We have notified the ITC of our
initiation, as required by section 732(d)
of the Act.
Preliminary Determination by the
International Trade Commission
The ITC will preliminarily determine,
no later than March 3, 2008, whether
there is a reasonable indication that
PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13FEN1.SGM
imports of SDGE from the PRC are
materially injuring, or threatening

negative ITC determination will result
in the investigation being terminated;
otherwise, this investigation will
proceed according to statutory and
regulatory time limits.

Chlorinated Isocyanurates from Spain:
Initiation of Antidumping Duty New
Shipper Review
AGENCY: Import Administration,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the Department) has received a request
for a new shipper review under the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates from Spain issued on June
24, 2005. See Chlorinated Isocyanurates
from Spain: Notice of Antidumping
Duty Order, 70 FR 36562 (June 24,
2005). In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.214(c), we are initiating an
antidumping new shipper review of
Inquide Flix, S.A., (Inquide). The period
of review (POR) of this new shipper
review is June 1, 2007 through
November 30, 2007.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 13, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(c), the Department received a
timely request from Inquide, a producer
and exporter of chlorinated
isocyanurates, for a new shipper review
of the antidumping duty order on
chlorinated isocyanurates from Spain.
See December 28, 2007, submission
13FEN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 30 / Wednesday, February 13, 2008 / Notices
from Inquide requesting a new shipper
review.
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), Inquide
certified that it is both an exporter and
producer of the subject merchandise,
that it did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of the investigation (POI)
(April 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004),
and that since the investigation was
initiated, it has not been affiliated with
any producer or exporter who exported
the subject merchandise to the United
States during the POI. It also submitted
documentation establishing the date on
which it first shipped the subject
merchandise to the United States, the
volume of that shipment, and the date
of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States. It also
certified it had no shipments to the
United States during the period
subsequent to its first shipment.
The Department conducted a Customs
database query in an attempt to confirm
that Inquide’s shipments of subject
merchandise entered the United States
for consumption and that liquidation of
such entries had been suspended for
antidumping duties. See January 31,
2008 New Shipper Review Initiation
Checklist, question 18. The Department
also examined whether U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed
that such entries were made during the
new shipper review period.
Initiation of Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and section
351.214(d) of the Department’s
regulations, we find that the request
Inquide submitted meets the threshold
requirements for initiation of a new
shipper review. See Memorandum to
the File from Scott Lindsay, Trade
Analyst, through Thomas Gilgunn,
Program Manager, New Shipper
Initiation Checklist, dated, January 31,
2008. Accordingly, we are initiating a
new shipper review of the antidumping
duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates
from Spain produced and exported by
Inquide. Although Inquide’s request
meets the threshold requirements for
initiation, there are a few issues of
concern that the Department has with
Inquide’s new shipper review request.
Therefore, immediately following the
initiation of this review, the Department
intends to issue a questionnaire to
Inquide to clarify these issues. This
review covers the period June 1, 2007
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
through November 30, 2007. We intend
to issue the preliminary results of this
review no later than 180 days after the
date on which this review is initiated,
and the final results within 90 days after
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001
the date on which we issue the
preliminary results. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
On August 17, 2006, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was
signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4
temporarily suspends the authority of
the Department to instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to collect a bond
or other security in lieu of a cash
deposit in new shipper reviews.
Therefore, the posting of a bond under
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act in lieu
of a cash deposit is not available in this
case. Importers of chlorinated
isocyanurates produced and exported by
Inquide must continue to post cash
deposits of estimated antidumping
duties on each entry of subject
merchandise (i.e., chlorinated
isocyanurates) at the current all–others
rate of 24.83 percent.
Interested parties may submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and this notice are
issued and published in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and
sections 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i) of
the Department’s regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CORRECTION:
On January 31, 2008, the Department
of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’)
published the notice of postponement of
the preliminary determination of the
antidumping duty investigation of raw
flexible magnets from the People’s
Republic of China. See Notice of
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination of Antidumping Duty
Investigation: Raw Flexible Magnets
from the People’s Republic of China, 73
FR 5794 (January 31, 2008)
(‘‘Postponement Notice’’). Subsequent to
the signature of the Postponement
Notice, we identified two inadvertent
errors in the above–referenced notice.
In the Postponement Notice, under
the ‘‘Postponement of Preliminary
Determination’’ section, the Department
mistakenly identified October 18, 2007,
rather than October 11, 2007, as the date
the Department initiated this
investigation. The Postponement Notice
should have stated, ‘‘On October 11,
2007, the Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) initiated the
antidumping duty investigation of raw
flexible magnets from the People’s
Republic of China. See Notice of
Initiation of Antidumping Duty
Investigations: Raw Flexible Magnets
from the People’s Republic of China and
Taiwan, 72 FR 59071 (October 18, 2007)
(‘‘Initiation Notice’’).’’ Second, in the
same section of the Postponement
Notice, the Department incorrectly
identified April 19, 2008, rather than
April 18, 2008, as the extended due date
of the preliminary determination. The
Postponement Notice should have
stated, ‘‘For the reasons identified by
the Petitioner, and because there are no
compelling reasons to deny the request,
the Department is postponing the
preliminary determination under
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), by fifty
days from February 28, 2008 to April 18,
2008.’’
Conclusion
This notice serves to correct both the
date of initiation of this investigation
and the extended due date of the
preliminary determination as listed in
the Postponement Notice. This notice is
issued and published in accordance
with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended.
Dated: February 7, 2008.
