Honey From Argentina and China

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Scheduling of expedited five-year reviews concerning the 
countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina and the antidumping 
duty orders on honey from Argentina and China.

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether revocation 
of the countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina and the 
antidumping duty orders on honey from Argentina and China would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within 
a reasonably foreseeable time. For further information concerning the 
conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A 
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 
CFR part 207).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background. On February 5, 2007, the 
Commission determined that the domestic interested party group

[[Page 6746]]

response to its notice of institution (71 FR 64292, November 1, 2006) 
of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent 
interested party group responses were inadequate. The Commission did 
not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full 
reviews.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would 
conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's 
statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements 
will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the 
Commission's Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report. A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
May 15, 2007, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will 
be issued thereafter, pursuant to Sec.  207.62(d)(4) of the 
Commission's rules.
    Written submissions. As provided in Sec.  207.62(d) of the 
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews 
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\2\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determinations the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before May 22, 2007, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement 
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the 
reviews by May 22, 2007. However, should the Department of Commerce 
extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its 
reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual 
information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after 
the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business 
proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements 
of Sec. Sec.  201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission's rules do not authorize filing of submissions with the 
Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except to the extent 
permitted by Sec.  201.8 of the Commission's rules, as amended, 67 FR 
68036 (November 8, 2002). Even where electronic filing of a document is 
permitted, certain documents must also be filed in paper form, as 
specified in II (C) of the Commission's Handbook on Electronic Filing 
Procedures, 67 FR 68168, 68173 (November 8, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by the 
American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey Association 
to be individually adequate. Comments from other interested parties 
will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Sec. Sec.  201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, 
each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all 
other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI 
service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The 
Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate 
of service.
    Determinations. The Commission has determined to exercise its 
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to Sec.  207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

     Issued: February 7, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
