Following second five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective October 12, 2007, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on certain pasta from Italy and Turkey (72 FR 58052). Following third five-year reviews by Commerce and the Commission, effective September 17, 2013, Commerce issued a continuation of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on certain pasta from Italy and Turkey (78 FR 57129). The Commission is now conducting fourth reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR parts 201, subparts A and B and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by the Department of Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are Italy and Turkey. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original and subsequent five-year review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all dry pasta. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Like Product differently in the original and expedited first five-year review determinations. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original and subsequent five-year review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry as all domestic producers of dry pasta. One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently in the original and expedited first five-year review determinations.

Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On June 11, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of steel propane cylinders from the People’s Republic of China (China). 1 Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than August 15, 2018. Postponement of Preliminary Determinations Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) The petitioner 2 makes a timely request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request. On July 20, 2018, the petitioners submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary CVD determination. 3 The petitioners stated that the purpose of their request is to provide Commerce with adequate time to analyze fully questionnaire responses from the Government of China and the mandatory respondents and to determine the extent to which the respondents received countervailable subsidies. 4 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have stated the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary determination, and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated, i.e., October 19, 2018. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination of this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination. This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1). Dated: July 26, 2018.

Filing Information As a courtesy, we are making information related to sunset proceedings, including copies of the pertinent statute and Commerces’s regulations, Commerce’s schedule for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past revocations and continuations, and current service lists, available to the public on Commerce’s website at the following address: http:// enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/. All submissions in these Sunset Reviews must be filed in accordance with Commerce’s regulations regarding format, translation, and service of documents. These rules, including electronic filing requirements via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR 351.303. 1 Any party submitting factual information in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information. 2 Parties must use the certification formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g).3 Commerce intends to reject factual submissions if the submitting party does not comply with applicable revised certification requirements. On April 10, 2013, Commerce modified two regulations related to AD/ CVD proceedings: the definition of factual information (19 CFR 351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits for the submission of factual information (19 CFR 351.301). 4 Parties are advised to review the final rule, available at http:// enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/ 1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in these segments. To the extent that other regulations govern the submission of factual information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits will continue to be applied. Parties are also advised to review the final rule concerning the extension of time limits for submissions in AD/CVD proceedings, available at http:// enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/ 1309frn/2013-22853.txt, prior to submitting factual information in these segments.5 Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), Commerce will maintain and make available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties wishing to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To facilitate the timely preparation of the public service list, it is requested that those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit an entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice of Initiation. Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge interested parties who want access to proprietary information under administrative protective order (APO) to file an APO application immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. Commerce’s regulations on submission of proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304–306. Information Required From Interested Parties Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii).

SUMMARY : As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain pasta (pasta) from Italy and Turkey would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this notice. DATES : Applicable December 5, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background Commerce published antidumping duty orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey on July 24, 1996. 1 On August 1, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On August 16, 2018, Commerce received notices of intent to participate from the following domestic interested parties: A. Zerega’s Sons, Inc.; Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc.; Riviana Foods, Inc. (formerly, New World Pasta Company); and TreeHouse Foods, Inc. 3 (collectively, domestic interested parties), 4 within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as U.S. producers of certain pasta.5 On August 22, 2018, we received an extension request from the Government of Italy (GOI) for its response. 6 On August 31, 2018, we granted an extension to the GOI to submit its substantive response by September 10, 2018. 7 On August 31, 2018, Commerce received complete substantive responses from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 8 We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties with respect to the orders covered by these sunset reviews. On August 21, 2018, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it received a notice of intent to participate from domestic interested parties as required by 19 CFR 351.218(d).9 As a result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders. Scope of the Orders Italy (A–475–818) The merchandise subject to the order is pasta. The product is currently classified under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for conveniences and customs purposes, the written product description available in Italian Order remains dispositive. The full scope language can be found in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Turkey (A–489–805) The merchandise subject to the order is pasta. The product is currently classified under items 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for conveniences and custom purposes, the written product description available in Turkish Order remains dispositive. The full scope language can be found in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in these sunset reviews, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Orders were revoked, are addressed in Issues and Decision Memorandum,10 which is hereby adopted by this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http:// access.trade.gov, and to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at http:// enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Final Results of Reviews Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we determine that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 20.84 percent for Italy and up to 63.29 percent for Turkey. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain pasta from Turkey would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On July 24, 1996, Commerce published the CVD order on certain pasta from Turkey. 1 On August 1, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset review of this order, pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On August 16, 2018, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from A. Zerega’s Sons, Inc. (Zerega), Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. (Dakota Growers), Riviana Foods, Inc. (Riviana) (formerly, New World Pasta Company), 3 and TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (TreeHouse) (formerly, The American Italian Pasta Company) 4 within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 5 Zerega, Dakota Growers, Riviana, and TreeHouse claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of pasta in the United States. 6 On August 31, 2018, Commerce received an adequate substantive response to the notice of initiation from domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 7 On August 31, 2018, Commerce also received a substantive response from the Government of Turkey (GOT). 8 However, we received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties who are producers or exporters of merchandise subject to the order covered by this sunset review. A government’s response alone, normally, is not sufficient for Commerce to conduct a full sunset review, unless the investigation was conducted on an aggregate basis. 9 This investigation was conducted on a company-specific, rather than an aggregate, basis. On September 20, 2018, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.10 As a result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce has conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the CVD order on certain pasta from Turkey. Scope of the Order The scope of the CVD order consists of certain non-egg dry pasta in packages of five pounds (or 2.27 kilograms) or less, whether or not enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, diastases, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg white. The pasta covered by the order is typically sold in the retail market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons or polyethylene or polyethylene bags, of varying dimensions. Excluded from the scope of the order are refrigerated, frozen, or canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of non-egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white. The merchandise under review is currently classifiable under subheading 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 11 which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum are the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy and the net countervailable subsidy likely to prevail if the order were revoked.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On August 1, 2018, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset reviews of the Orders 1 on pasta from Italy and Turkey, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies. 3 Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and the net countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail were the Orders revoked. 4 On April 10, 2019, the ITC published its determinations, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, that revocation of the Orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. 5 Scope of the Orders Italy (A–475–818, C–475–819) The merchandise subject to the order is pasta. The product is currently classified under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description available in Italy AD Order and Italy CVD Order remains dispositive. 6 Turkey (A–489–805, C–489–806) The merchandise subject to the order is pasta. The product is currently classified under items 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description available in Turkey AD Order and Turkey CVD Order remains dispositive. 7 Continuation of the Orders As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a recurrence of dumping, a continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, and a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year reviews of these orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO which may be subject to sanctions. These sunset reviews and notice are in accordance with sections 751(c), 752, and published pursuant to 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4). Dated: April 11, 2019. Jeffrey I.

Active order issued from this investigation
Investigation 701-TA-365 is a U.S. International Trade Commission antidumping (AD) proceeding on Pasta from Italy and Turkey, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-365-366 and 731-TA-734-735 (Fourth Review) from Turkey, Italy. The ITC determines whether U.S. industry is materially injured (or threatened) by imports under investigation; Commerce determines whether dumping or subsidization is occurring. Both findings are required for an AD/CVD order to be issued.
701-TA-365 is in the review phase, with status completed. Review phase — typically a sunset review (every 5 years) to determine whether revoking the order would lead to recurrence of dumping/injury. Affirmative findings keep the order in force; negative findings revoke it.
Yes — investigation 701-TA-365 resulted in AD/CVD case A-475-818. The linked order page on this catalog has the active deposit rate, scope text, and Federal Register citation.
