    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 subject merchandise manufactured 
and exported by Haewon must continue to pay a cash deposit of estimated 
antidumping duties on each entry of subject merchandise at the current 
all-others rate of 17.70 percent.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
