SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 10, 2001, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on honey from Argentina. See Order, 66 FR at 63672. Thus, the 
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina has a December 
anniversary month. On January 3, 2011, the Department received a timely 
filed request dated December 31, 2010, for a new shipper review from 
Villamora. In its request for a review, Villamora identified itself as 
an exporter of the subject merchandise. For the purpose of initiating 
this new shipper review, the Department determines that Villamora's 
submission was timely filed.
    Pursuant to the requirements set forth in section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), Villamora certified that (1) it 
did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the 
period of investigation (POI) (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i)); and (2) since the initiation of the 
investigation, it has never been affiliated with any company that 
exported subject merchandise to the United States during the POI, 
including those companies not individually examined during the 
investigation (see section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A)). Additionally, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Villamora submitted documentation establishing the 
following: (1) The date on which it first shipped subject merchandise 
to the United States; (2) the volume of its first shipment; and (3) the 
date of its first sale to an unaffiliated purchaser for exportation to 
the United States. Villamora also stated it had no shipments to the 
United States during the period subsequent to its first shipment.

Initiation of Review

    Based on information on the record and in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we find that the 
request submitted by Villamora meets the statutory and regulatory 
requirements for initiation of a new shipper review. See Memorandum to 
the File, through Angelica L. Mendoza, Program Manager, regarding 
``Initiation of the Antidumping

Duty New Shipper Review: Honey from Argentina,'' dated January 25, 
2011. Accordingly, we are initiating a new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina exported by Villamora, 
for the period December 1, 2009, through November 30, 2010. We intend 
to issue the preliminary results of this review no later than 180 days 
after the date on which this review is initiated, and the final results 
within 90 days after the date on which we issue the preliminary 
results. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(h)(i).
    We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 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 certain 
entries of the subject merchandise exported by Villamora in accordance 
with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). 
Because Villamora certified that it exports the subject merchandise, 
the sale of which forms the basis for its new shipper review request, 
we will instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond only for entries of 
subject merchandise which Villamora exported.
    Interested parties may submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 
351.306.
    This initiation and this notice are issued and published in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 
351.221(c)(1)(i).

    Dated: January 25, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
