Honey from Argentina: Final Results of Full Sunset Review of the 
Countervailing Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On February 28, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary results 
of the full sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on 
Honey from Argentina, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of our analysis, the Department 
preliminarily found that revocation of the countervailing duty order 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a 
countervailable subsidy.
    We provided interested parties an opportunity to comment on our 
preliminary results. However, we received no comments from interested 
parties. As a result, the final results remain the same as the 
preliminary results of this review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 11, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum or Dana Mermelstein, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

0197 or (202) 482-1391, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 28, 2007, the Department 
published its Preliminary Results of Full Sunset Review: Countervailing 
Duty Order on Honey from Argentina, 72 FR 8970 (February 28, 2007) 
(Preliminary Results). In our Preliminary Results, we found that 
revocation of the order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence 
of a countervailable subsidy on the subject merchandise.
    Interested parties were invited to comment on our Preliminary 
Results. The Department received no comments from either the domestic 
interested parties or respondent interested parties.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is artificial honey 
containing more than 50 percent natural honeys by weight, preparations 
of natural honey containing more than 50 percent natural honeys by 
weight, and flavored honey. The subject merchandise includes all grades 
and colors of honey whether in liquid, creamed, combs, cut comb, or 
chunk form, and whether packaged for retail or in bulk form. The 
merchandise subject to this order is currently classifiable under 
subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90, and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) purposes, the Department's written description of the 
merchandise covered by this order is dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, the Department determined 
that revocation of the countervailing duty order would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. In addition, 
we preliminarily determined that the net countervailable subsidy likely 
to prevail if the order were revoked is 5.85 percent. As we did not 
receive any comments from any interested parties regarding the 
Preliminary Results, we have no reason to reconsider our preliminary 
decision.

International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 752(b)(3) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of the final results of this full sunset review.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with section 351.305 of the 
Department's regulations. Timely notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials 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 sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i) of the Act.
