EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9, 2006.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from Gharda Chemicals, Ltd., on 
January 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce published in the Federal 
Register a notice announcing the initiation of a new shipper review of 
the antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India 
covering the period December 1, 2004, through November 30, 2005. On 
April 21, 2006, Gharda Chemicals, Ltd., withdrew its request for a new

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published the 
antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India on 
December 29, 2004 (69 FR 77988). On September 22, 2005, we 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. Pursuant to 
section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we initiated a new shipper review on January 
27, 2006, for shipments of carbazole violet pigment 23 from India 
produced and exported by Gharda (71 FR 4569). Gharda withdrew its 
request for a new shipper review on April 21, 2006.

Rescission of New Shipper Review

    Section 351.214(f)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that 
the Department may rescind a new shipper review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within sixty days 
of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review. Although Gharda withdrew its request after the 60-day deadline, 
we find it reasonable to extend the deadline because we have not yet 
committed significant resources to the Gharda new shipper review. 
Specifically, we have not started calculating a margin for Gharda and 
we have not yet verified Gharda's data. Further, Gharda was the only 
party to request the review. Finally, we have not received any 
submissions opposing the withdrawal of the request for the review. For 
these reasons, we are rescinding the new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India with 
respect to Gharda in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1).

Notification

    As of the date of the publication of this rescission notice in the 
Federal Register, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
that importers will no longer have the option of posting a bond to 
fulfill security requirements for shipments of carbazole violet pigment 
23 from India produced and exported by Gharda and entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption in the United States. We will issue 
assessment instructions within 15 days of the date of the publication 
of this notice and, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c), we will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping 
duties at the cash-deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for all 
shipments of carbazole violet pigment 23 from India produced and 
exported by Gharda and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption during the period December 1, 2004, through November 30, 
2005.
    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO material or conversion to 
judicial protective order is

hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of 
an APO is a violation which is subject to sanctions.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).

    Dated: May 3, 2006.
