Amended Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value and Amended
Antidumping Duty Order in Accordance
With Final Court Decision, 64 FR 25275
(May 11, 1999).
In the 1999–2000 administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on pencils from the PRC, the
Department ‘‘collapsed’’ Three Star with
another entity, China First Pencil Co.
Ltd. (China First), based upon
information that came to light late in the
review. Further, the Department
determined that the combined entity,
China First/Three Star, was distinct
from the Three Star whose factors of
production formed the basis for
excluding Guangdong from the
antidumping duty order. Because there
was no information on the record of the
1999–2000 review from which to
calculate a dumping margin for
Guangdong, consistent with the
investigation in this proceeding, in the
final results of review the Department
assigned Guangdong’s sales of China
First/Three Star produced subject
merchandise a cash deposit rate equal to
the PRC–wide rate. See Certain Cased
Pencils from the People’s Republic of
China: Final Results and Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty

Review).
China First, Guangdong, Three Star,
Orient International Holding Shanghai
Foreign Trade Co. Ltd., and Kaiyuan
Group Corporation, respondents in the
1999–2000 administrative review, filed
a motion of judgement upon the agency
record contesting the final results of that
review. Specifically, these respondents
challenged a number of the surrogate
values selected by the Department, as
well as the Department’s decision to
collapse Three Star with China First,
and initiate a review of Guangdong and
assign it the PRC–wide rate. After
considering the respondents’ arguments,
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
the CIT upheld the Department’s
selection of surrogate values but
remanded the case to the Department
instructing it to reevaluate the PRC–
wide rate applied to Guangdong because
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:31 Nov 08, 2006 Jkt 211001
the Court found that by assigning this
rate to Guangdong the Department had
effectively applied adverse facts
available to a participating and
cooperative respondent. The CIT also
instructed the Department to articulate
specifically the portions of the existing
collapsing statutes and regulations
which are applicable or inapplicable in
the non–market economy (NME)
context, and provide the Court with a
clearly articulated methodology for
collapsing companies in NME countries.
See Kaiyuan Group Corp., et al v. United
States and the Pencil Section Writing
Instrument Manufacturers Ass’n, et al.,
343 F. Supp. 2d 1289 (May 14, 2004).
In its remand redetermination, the
Department continued to collapse Three
Star with China first (providing the
additional explanation requested by the
Court) but assigned Guangdong a cash
deposit rate of 13.91 percent, which is
equal to the weighted–average of the
dumping margins calculated for the
other respondents in the 1999–2000
administrative review. On August 23,
2005, the CIT sustained the
Department’s remand redetermination.
See Kaiyuan Group Corp., et al v. United
States and the Pencil Section Writing
Instrument Manufacturers Association,
et al., 391 F. Supp. 2d 1317 (August 23,
2005), and the Department’s Final
Results of Redetermination Pursuant to
Court Remand: Kaiyuan Group Corp., et
al v. United States and Pencil Section
Writing Instrument Manufacturers
Association, et al. (dated September 30,
2004). On October 21, 2005,
respondents filed a notice of appeal
with the CAFC. On July 12, 2006, the
CAFC issued a ‘‘Notice of Entry of
Judgement Without Opinion,’’ in which
it affirmed the decision of the CIT.
Amended Final Results of Review
As the litigation in this case has
concluded, the Department is amending
the 2000 Amended Final Results of
Review to reflect a dumping margin for
Guangdong of 13.91 percent. The
dumping margins for the other
respondents in that review and the
PRC–wide rate did not change as a
result of the Department’s remand
redetermination.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Subsequent to the 1999–2000
antidumping duty administrative review
of pencils from the PRC, the Department
determined, with respect to the pencils
order, that Guangdong ‘‘did not merit a
separate rate and will be subject to the
PRC–wide rate.’’ See Certain Cased
Pencils from The People’s Republic of
China: Final Results and Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, 71 FR 38366
(July 6, 2006) (2003–2004 Pencils AD
Review) and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum at Comment 10.
Specifically, in the ‘‘Cash Deposit
Requirements’’ section of the 2003–2004
Pencils AD Review, and the
Department’s corresponding cash
deposit instructions to Customs and
Border Protection (CBP), issued on July
28, 2006, we noted that for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise, to
which we have not assigned a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
PRC wide rate of 114.9 percent. The
cash deposit rate in the 2003–2004
Pencils AD Review supersedes the cash
deposit rate assigned to Guangdong in
the instant amended final results.
Therefore, Guangdong’s future entries
will continue to be subject to the PRC–
wide rate and there will be no need to
issue cash deposit instructions to CBP
in connection with the instant Federal
Register notice.
Assessment
Consistent with the 2000 A mended
Final Results of Review, because there is
no information on the record which
identifies the importers of record, we
calculated exporter–specific assessment
rates for respondents’ shipments of
subject merchandise. Specifically, we
calculated duty assessment rates for
subject merchandise based on the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total quantity of those sales. The
Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection within
15 days of publication of this notice.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended.

Background: AmeriCorps grants are
generally awarded to eligible
organizations to recruit, train, and
manage AmeriCorps members who
address unmet community needs.
AmeriCorps members are individuals
who engage in community service.
Members may receive a living allowance
during their term of service. Upon
successful completion of their service
members receive an education award
from the National Service Trust.
Roughly three quarters of all
AmeriCorps grant funding goes to
Governor-appointed state service
commissions which award subgrants to
nonprofit organizations in their states.
The State Administrative Funds,
Program Development Assistance and
Training, and Disability Placement
Application Instructions are used by
commissions to complete their
application for these funds in eGrants,
the Corporation’s Web-based grants
management system.
Current Action: The Corporation seeks
to renew and revise the current
application instructions. The
application instructions are being
revised for increased clarity and burden
reduction. The application will be used
in the same manner as the existing
application. The Corporation also seeks
to continue using the current
application instructions until the
revised application instructions are
approved by OMB. The current
application instructions are due to
expire on April 30, 2008.
Type of Review: Renewal; previously
granted approval by OMB.

Community Service.
