SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on carbazole 
violet pigment 23 from India was published on December 29, 2004. See 
Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value 
and Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India, 69 
FR 77988 (December 29, 2004). On September 22, 2005, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) received a timely request for a new shipper 
review of the antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 
from India from Gharda Chemicals, Ltd. (Gharda). On January 17, 2006, 
Gharda submitted additional information to supplement its new shipper 
review request in response to our January 10, 2006, letter requesting 
that Gharda correct certain deficiencies in its new shipper review 
request. Gharda is both the Indian producer and exporter of the subject 
merchandise to the United States on which its request for a new shipper 
review is based. Gharda Polymers USA, its U.S. subsidiary, is an 
importer of the subject merchandise.
    As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), Gharda 
certified that it did not export carbazole violet pigment 23 to the 
United States during the period of investigation (POI) and that, since 
the initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with 
any exporter or producer that exported carbazole violet pigment 23 to 
the United Stated during the POI.\1\

    \1\ See Gharda's Request for New Shipper Review, dated September 
22, 2005, and Gharda's Supplemental Submission, dated January 17, 
2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), the company 
submitted documentation establishing the following: (1) the date on 
which it first shipped the subject merchandise for export to the United 
States and the date on which its subject merchandise was first entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in the United States; (2) 
the volume of its first shipment and the volume of subsequent shipments 
\2\; and (3) the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated customer in 
the United States.

    \2\ In its September 22, 2005, Request for New Shipper Review, 
Gharda stated that it had no subsequent shipments.

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1) we are initiating a new 
shipper review for shipments of carbazole violet pigment 23 from India 
produced and exported by Gharda. The period of review is December 1, 
2004, through November 30, 2005. See 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A). We 
intend to issue the preliminary results of this new shipper review no 
later than 180 days after initiation of this review. We intend to issue 
final results of this review no later than 90 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are issued. See 19 CFR 351.214(i).
    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at 
the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the 
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry 
of the subject merchandise produced and exported by Gharda Chemicals 
Ltd. in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(e). Gharda has certified that it both produced and exported the 
subject merchandise on which it based the request for a new shipper 
review. Therefore, we will apply the bonding option only to entries of 
the subject merchandise that were both produced and exported by Gharda.
    Interested parties that need access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.214(d), and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i).
