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

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

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.
