SUMMARY : Based on affirmative final determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), Commerce is issuing antidumping duty orders on raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). DATES : Applicable June 10, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Thomas Martin and Eva Kim (Argentina); Genevieve Coen (Brazil); Brittany Bauer and Benito Ballesteros (India); and Jonathan Hill and Paola Aleman Ordaz (Vietnam), AD/CVD Operations, Offices IV and V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3936, (202) 482–8283, (202) 482–3251, (202) 482–3860, (202) 482–7425, (202) 482– 3518, or (202) 482–4031, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 14, 2022, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative final determinations in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. 1 On May 27, 2022, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of LTFV imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam, and of its determinations that critical circumstances exist with respect to dumped imports of raw honey from Vietnam and do not exist with respect to dumped imports of raw honey from Argentina.2 Scope of the Orders The product covered by these orders is raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Orders On June 3, 2022, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC published in the Federal Register its final determinations in these investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. 3 Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam.

Doc. 103– 316, Vol. 1 (1994), at 876 (‘‘If both agencies make affirmative critical circumstances determinations in their final investigations, retroactive duties will be applied for a period ninety days prior to suspension of liquidation.’’). 7 See Preliminary Determinations. 8 See, e.g., Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from India, India, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determination for India and Taiwan, and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 48390, 48392 (July 25, 2016). measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, and India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after November 23, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations in the Federal Register. 4 As further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of raw honey from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 25, 2021, which is 90 days prior to the date of publication of the Vietnam Preliminary Determination.5 Critical Circumstances With respect to the ITC’s negative critical circumstances determination on imports of raw honey from Argentina, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of the subject merchandise from Argentina entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 25, 2021 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the publication of the Argentina Preliminary Determination), but before November 23, 2021 (i.e., the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations). Regarding Vietnam, the ITC found that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports subject to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances finding within the meaning of section 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act. As a result of Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 735(a)(3) of the Act, and the ITC’s affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act, retroactive duties will be applied to the relevant imports for a period of 90 days prior to the suspension of liquidation.6 Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of raw honey from Vietnam. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of raw honey from Vietnam for Ban Me Thuot Honeybee Joint Stock Company, Daklak Honeybee Joint Stock Company, the eligible separate rate companies, and the Vietnam-wide entity entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 25, 2021, which is 90 days prior to the date of publication of the Vietnam Preliminary Determination, in accordance with the critical circumstances finding in the Vietnam Final Determination. Antidumping duties will not be assessed on any entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below. Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional Measures’’ section of this notice, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed below. For Argentina, Brazil, and India, the relevant all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed. For Vietnam, the Vietnam-wide entity rate listed below applies to all exporters not specifically listed. Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four- month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of exports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam, Commerce extended the four-month period to six months in these investigations. Commerce published the Preliminary Determinations on November 23, 2021.7 The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations, ended on May 21, 2022. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice,8 Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 21, 2022, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determinations in the Federal Register. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:32 Jun 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\10JNN1.SGM 10JNN1 jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 35503Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2022 / Notices 9 For the final determination, Commerce found that these companies are affiliated within the meaning of section 771(33) of the Act and that they constitute a single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f).

Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is raw honey from Ukraine. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Therefore, Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce has preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences to determine the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the non-participating mandatory respondents, i.e., Honey Bee Trade Sp Zo O (Honey Bee), Kuyumcu Tarim Urunleri Ltd. (Kuyumcu), and LLC UDJV With FI Bezpeka Medu (Bezpeka). For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, this rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 Nov 22, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23NON1.SGM 23NON1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 66525Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 23, 2021 / Notices 6 Commerce preliminarily determines that LLC Sodrujestvo and Umoks are a single entity. For a complete discussion, see Memorandum, ‘‘Preliminary Affiliation and Collapsing Memorandum for LLC GC Sodrujestvo,’’ dated concurrently with this memorandum. 7 Commerce preliminarily determines that LLC Sodrujestvo and Umoks are a single entity.

In this investigation, Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for LLC GC Sodrujestvo (LLC Sodrujestvo) and Umoks GmbH (Umoks), LLC Sodrujestvo’s affiliated exporter (collectively, Sodrujestvo) 6 that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Additionally, Commerce preliminarily determined that the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Bezpeka, Honey Bee, and Kuyumcu is based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Therefore, for purposes of determining the all- others rate, and pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we are using the dumping margin calculated for Sodrujestvo, which is not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) LLC GC Sodrujestvo/Umoks GmbH 7 .................................... 18.68 Honey Bee Trade Sp Zo O ........ 32.45 Kuyumcu Tarim Urunleri Ltd ...... 32.45 LLC UDJV With FI Bezpeka Medu ....................................... 32.45 All Others .................................... 18.68 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all- others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. A timeline for the submission of case briefs and written comments will be notified to interested parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for case briefs.8 Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 9 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On October 27, 2021, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Sodrujestvo requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months. 10 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 Nov 22, 2021 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23NON1.SGM 23NON1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 66526 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 23, 2021 / Notices 1 See Raw Honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 86 FR 26897 (May 18, 2021) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Raw Honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 86 FR 47624 (August 26, 2021). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Raw Honey from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 4 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties, Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). 5 See Initiation Notice. 6 See Initiation Notice, 86 FR at 26901. 7 See Enforcement and Compliance’s Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, regarding, ‘‘Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months.

Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On November 9, 2021, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), the petitioners and Ban Me Thuot requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.10 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry.

In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is raw honey from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to Commerce’s regulations, 4 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. Therefore, Commerce is not preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminarily finds that critical circumstances do not exist for Allied Natural Product (Allied), Ambrosia Natural Products India Private Limited (Ambrosia), or all other exporters. For a full description of the methodology and results of Commerce’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, this rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins for Allied and Ambrosia that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Commerce calculated the all- others rate using a weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under consideration.6 Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Allied Natural Product ................. 6.24 Ambrosia Natural Products India Private Limited ........................ 6.72 All Others .................................... 6.48 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all-others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all- others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties in this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification.

Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed- Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). As complete publicly-ranged sales data was available, Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly-ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents. For a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum, ‘‘Less Than Fair Value Investigation of Raw Honey from Argentina: Preliminary Determination Calculation for the All- Others,’’ dated November 19, 2021. 11 See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 12 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–10; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020). Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances On October 21, 2021, the petitioners 6 timely filed a critical circumstances allegation, pursuant to section 733(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), alleging that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of raw honey from Argentina.7 In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminarily determines that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of raw honey from Argentina produced and exported by ACA, Industrias Haedo S.A., and Compan˜ ı´a Inversora Platense S.A.8. Furthermore, we preliminarily determine that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of raw honey from Argentina produced and exported by all other producers and exporters. 9 For a full description of Commerce’s preliminary critical circumstances determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Sections 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall normally be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce preliminarily calculated individual estimated weighted-average dumping margins for ACA and NEXCO that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for ACA and NEXCO. 10 Preliminary Determination Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted- average dumping margins exist: Exporter/producer Estimated weighted- average dumping margin (percent) Asociacio´ n De Cooperativas Ar- gentinas Cooperativa Limitada 24.28 NEXCO S.A ................................ 7.84 Industrias Haedo S.A ................. 49.44 Compan˜ ı´a Inversora Platense S.A .......................................... 49.44 All Others .................................... 16.06 Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin or the estimated all- others rate, as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the company- specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties its calculations and analysis performed in connection with this preliminary determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Verification As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final determination. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on- site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation. However, due to current travel restrictions in response to the global COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is unable to conduct on-site verification in this investigation. Accordingly, we intend to verify the information relied upon in making the final determination through alternative means in lieu of an on-site verification. Public Comment Case briefs or other written comments on non-scope issues may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Interested parties will be notified of the timeline for the submission of such case briefs and written comments at a later date.

If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On November 9, 2021, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), ACA and NEXCO requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months. 13 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination, pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its affirmative preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, then the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c) and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation is raw honey. Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling and skimming, or coarse straining. Raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen, e.g., a level that removes pollen to below 25 microns. The subject products include all grades, floral sources and colors of raw honey and also include organic raw honey. Excluded from the scope is any honey that is packaged for retail sale (e.g., in bottles or other retail containers of five (5) lbs. or less). The merchandise subject to this investigation is currently classifiable under statistical subheading 0409.00.0005, 0409.00.0035, 0409.00.0045, 0409.00.0056, and 0409.00.0065 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. In addition, Commerce has relied on partial facts available under section 776(a)(1) of the Act for Melbras Importadora E Exportadora Agroindustrial Ltda. (Melbras). For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that in the preliminary determination Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, this rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins for Melbras and Apia´rio Diamante Comercial Exportadora Ltda/Apia´rio Diamante Produc¸a˜o e Comercial de Mel Ltda (collectively, Supermel) that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party’s name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s regulations requires that a request by exporters for postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On November 10, 2021, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Melbras and Supermel requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.10 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary determination. If the final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final determination whether these imports are materially injuring, or threaten material injury to, the U.S. industry. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c). Dated: November 17, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On November 23, 2021, Commerce published its preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation of raw honey from Argentina, and also postponed the final determination until April 7, 2022. 1 Commerce invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. For a complete description of the events that followed the Preliminary Determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is raw honey from Argentina. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination. Therefore, no changes were made to the scope of the investigation. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by interested parties and addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public 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. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/ FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminarily determined that critical circumstances existed with respect to imports of raw honey from Argentina produced and exported by Asociacio´ n de Cooperativas Argentinas Cooperativa Limitada (ACA), Industrias Haedo S.A. (Haedo), and Compan˜ ı´a Inversora Platense S.A. (CIPSA) and all other producers and exporters.4 Commerce did not receive any comments in response to its preliminary determination with respect to critical circumstances. Accordingly, for the final determination and based on our preliminary analysis, we continue to find that critical circumstances exist in the final determination.5 For a further discussion of our critical circumstances analysis, see Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on the comments received from interested parties and record information, we made certain changes to our calculations of the dumping margins for ACA and NEXCO S.A. (NEXCO). For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Use of Adverse Facts Available Both mandatory respondents, Haedo and CIPSA, notified Commerce that it would not participate in this investigation.6 Therefore, in the Preliminary Determination, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, we assigned to Haedo and CIPSA the highest Petition margin based on adverse facts available (AFA). 7 No party filed comments concerning the Preliminary Determination with respect to Haedo and CIPSA, and there is no new information on the record that would cause us to revisit the Preliminary Determination. Accordingly, we continue to find that the application of AFA pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act is warranted with respect to these companies. Consistent with the Preliminary Determination, Commerce has continued to assign to Haedo and CIPSA the highest Petition margin, which is 49.44 percent. We also are applying partial AFA in calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for ACA, under sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full description of Commerce’s partial AFA analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for all of the exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis or determined based entirely on facts available, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers or exporters not individually investigated. Commerce calculated individual estimated weighted-average dumping margins for ACA and NEXCO, two of the mandatory respondents which were examined as exporters/ producers in this investigation. Because ACA and NEXCO’s calculated dumping margins are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, Commerce calculated the all- others rate using a simple average of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 Apr 13, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 22181Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 72 / Thursday, April 14, 2022 / Notices 8 With more than one respondent under examination, Commerce normally calculates: (A) A weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted- average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged U.S. sale values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed- Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). As complete publicly-ranged sales data were available, Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly-ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of raw honey from Argentina, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 23, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination. Section 735(c)(4) of the Act provides that if there is an affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the later of: (a) The date which is 90 days before the date on which the suspension of liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which notice of initiation of the investigation was published. As noted above, Commerce finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by ACA, Haedo, CIPSA, and all other producers and exporters. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(4) of the Act, suspension of liquidation shall continue to apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by ACA, Haedo, CIPSA, and by all other producers and exporters that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date which is 90 days before the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondent listed above will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension-of-liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of this final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits posted will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination and notice are issued and published pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: April 7, 2022. Lisa W.

Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling and skimming, or coarse straining. Raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen, e.g., a level that removes pollen to below 25 microns.

All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce has determined a rate for Supermel based entirely on section 776 of the Act. Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Melbras that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Melbras is the only individually-calculated dumping margin that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted- average dumping margin calculated for Melbras is the margin assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. Final Determination The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Estimated weighted-average dumping margin (percent) Melbras Importadora E Exportadora Agroindustrial Ltda .............................................................................................................. 7.89 Apia´ rio Diamante Comercial Exportadora Ltda/Apia´ rio Diamante Produc¸a˜ o e Comercial de Mel Ltda (Supermel) 5 ................. * 83.72 All Others ....................................................................................................................................................................................... 7.89 * Margin is based on AFA. Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the calculations that it performed in connection with the final determination in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we made no changes to our preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculations for Melbras, there are no calculations to disclose for this final determination. Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of raw honey from Brazil, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 23, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension-of-liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of this final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because Commerce’s final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of raw honey from Brazil no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits posted will be refunded and suspension of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties This determination and this notice are issued and published pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). Dated: April 7, 2022. Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation is raw honey. Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling and skimming, or coarse straining. Raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen, e.g., a level that removes pollen to below 25 microns. The subject products include all grades, floral sources and colors of raw honey and also include organic raw honey. Excluded from the scope is any honey that is packaged for retail sale (e.g., in bottles or other retail containers of five (5) lbs. or less). The merchandise subject to this investigation is currently classifiable under statistical subheading 0409.00.0005, 0409.00.0035, 0409.00.0045, 0409.00.0056, and 0409.00.0065 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On November 23, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in the LTFV investigation of raw honey from Vietnam, in which it also postponed the final determination until April 7, 2022.1 Additionally, on January 13, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination of Critical Circumstances in the LTFV investigation of raw honey from Vietnam. 2 The petitioners in this investigation are the American Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey Association (collectively, the petitioners). The two mandatory respondents in this investigation are Ban Me Thuot Honeybee Joint Stock Company (Ban Me Thuot) and Daklak Honeybee Joint Stock Company (DakHoney). 3 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination.4 For a complete summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, see Issues and Decision Memorandum. 5 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).

Scope Comments Commerce received no comments from interested parties regarding the scope of this investigation.

However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).6 Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Export price was calculated in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because Vietnam is a non-market economy within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, normal value was calculated in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying Commerce’s determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum; see also the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Vietnam-Wide Entity For the reasons explained in our Preliminary Determination, we continue to find that neither the Vietnam-wide entity nor any company which is part of the Vietnam-wide entity has failed to cooperate in this investigation. Therefore, in accordance with our practice, to determine the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the Vietnam-wide entity, Commerce assigns to the Vietnam-wide entity a rate equal to the average of publicly available ranged U.S. sales quantities of the mandatory respondents.

In light of these changes to the margin calculations and the resulting revised estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney, we have also revised the rates assigned to companies eligible for a separate rate and to the Vietnam-wide entity. For a discussion of these changes, see the ‘‘Changes Since the Preliminary Determination’’ section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum, and the Final Analysis Memoranda.7 Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances Commerce preliminarily determined that critical circumstances did exist for Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney, the eligible separate rate companies, and the Vietnam-wide entity.8 Parties submitted comments regarding our affirmative preliminary critical circumstances determination; see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For the final determination, in accordance with section 735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce continues to find that critical circumstances do exist for Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney, the eligible separate rate companies, and the Vietnam-wide entity. For a full description of the methodology and results of Commerce’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Separate Rates No party commented on our preliminary separate rate determinations with respect to the mandatory respondents and the non- individually examined companies. Thus, there is no basis to reconsider the Preliminary Determination with respect to separate rate status for this final determination. Combination Rates In the Initiation Notice,9 Commerce stated that it would calculate producer/ exporter combination rates for the respondents that are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. 10 For the list of respondents that established eligibility for separate rates and exporter-producer combination rates applicable to these respondents, see the Final Determination section.

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), upon publication of this notice, Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties for such entries as follows: (1) For the exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate is equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin listed for that combination in the table; (2) for all combinations of Vietnamese exporters/producers not listed in the above table, the cash deposit rate is equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin listed in the table for the Vietnam-wide entity; and (3) for all third-country exporters, the cash deposit rate is equal to the cash deposit rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporter/producer combination (or the Vietnam-wide entity) that supplied that third-country exporter. These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2)(B) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposited will be refunded. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.

Raw honey is honey as it exists in the beehive or as obtained by extraction, settling and skimming, or coarse straining. Raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen, e.g., a level that removes pollen to below 25 microns. The subject products include all grades, floral sources and colors of raw honey and also include organic raw honey. Excluded from the scope is any honey that is packaged for retail sale (e.g., in bottles or other retail containers of five (5) lbs. or less). The merchandise subject to this investigation is currently classifiable under statistical subheading 0409.00.0005, 0409.00.0035, 0409.00.0045, 0409.00.0056, and 0409.00.0065 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On November 23, 2021, Commerce published its preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation of raw honey from India, in which we also postponed the final determination until April 7, 2022. 1 For a complete description of the events that followed the Preliminary Determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 2 Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is raw honey from India. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination. Therefore, no changes were made to the scope of the investigation. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the issues raised by interested parties and addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Ltd., within the meaning of section 771(33) of the Act. We also find that these companies should be treated as a single entity, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). See Memorandum, ‘‘Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Raw Honey from India: Final Determination Affiliation and Single Entity Memorandum for Ambrosia Natural Products (India) Private Limited,’’ dated April 7, 2022. We collectively refer to these companies as ‘‘Ambrosia.’’ See also Commerce’s Letters, ‘‘Antidumping Duty Investigation of Raw Honey from India: In-Lieu of Verification Questionnaire,’’ both dated January 6, 2022; Allied Natural Product (Allied)’s Letter, ‘‘Raw Honey from India: In-Lieu- of-Verification Questionnaire Response,’’ dated January 18, 2022; and Ambrosia’s Letter, ‘‘Raw Honey from India: Ambrosia Natural Products (‘Ambrosia’) Response to In Lieu of On-Site Verification of the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Raw Honey,’’ dated January 18, 2022. 4 With more than one respondent under examination, Commerce normally calculates: (A) A weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted- average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged U.S. sale values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects either the (B) or (C) rate based on the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). As complete publicly-ranged sales data are available, Commerce based the all- others rate on the publicly-ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents. For a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum, ‘‘Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Raw Honey from India: Calculation of All-Others Rate,’’ dated April 7, 2021. Verification Commerce was unable to conduct on- site verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances Commerce preliminarily determined that critical circumstances do not exist for the two mandatory respondents in this investigation, Allied and Ambrosia, or with respect to all other producers/ exporters. No parties submitted comments regarding our negative preliminary critical circumstances determination, and the factual basis for the preliminary negative finding remains unchanged for this final determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce finds that critical circumstances do not exist for Allied, Ambrosia, and all other producers/exporters. For a full description of the methodology and results of Commerce’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on the comments received from interested parties and record information, we made certain changes to the weighted-average dumping margin calculations for Allied and Ambrosia. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weighted- average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-average dumping margins for Allied and Ambrosia that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Commerce calculated the all- others rate using a weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents weighted by each respondent’s publicly-ranged total U.S. sale values for the merchandise under consideration.4 Final Determination The final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Exporter/producer Estimated weighted-average dumping margin (percent) Allied Natural Product .................................................................................................................................................................... 6.24 Ambrosia Natural Products (India) Private Limited/Ambrosia Enterprise/Sunlite India Agro Producer Co. Ltd ........................... 5.52 All Others ....................................................................................................................................................................................... 5.87 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed in this final determination within five days of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of raw honey from India, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 23, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination. Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondents listed above will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a respondent identified above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted- average dumping margin established for that producer of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension-of-liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission (ITC) of this final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV.

If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits posted will be refunded and suspension of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.

Because the ITC determined that imports of mobile access equipment from China are threatening material injury to a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instructions by Commerce, antidumping VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 Apr 13, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Determination – Final === 33831Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2022 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 87 FR 22179, 87 FR 22182, 87 FR 22188, 87 FR 22184 (April 14, 2022). 3 The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order on Argentina. The Commission finds that imports subject to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances determination are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order on Vietnam. 4 On March 24, 2022, counsel for petitioners filed with Commerce and the Commission a withdrawal of their petition regarding imports of raw honey from Ukraine. Accordingly, the antidumping duty investigation concerning raw honey from Ukraine (Investigation No. 731–TA–1563 (Final)) was terminated. 87 FR 19855 (April 6, 2022), 87 FR 20462 (April 07, 2022).

SUMMARY : Based on a withdrawal of the antidumping duty (AD) petition on raw honey from Ukraine by the American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey Association (collectively, the petitioners), we are terminating this less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation. DATES : Applicable April 6, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Jasun Moy, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–8194. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On April 21, 2021, Commerce received an AD petition concerning imports of raw honey from Ukraine, filed in proper form by the petitioners. 1 On May 11, 2021, Commerce initiated the AD investigation on raw honey from Ukraine.2 On November 23, 2021, Commerce published its preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation of raw honey from Ukraine, in which we also postponed the final determination.3 On March 2, 2022, Commerce tolled all activities and deadlines by 90 days in this investigation in light of events occurring in Ukraine, thereby extending the deadline for the final determination until July 6, 2022.4 On March 24, 2022, the petitioners submitted a letter withdrawing the AD petition with respect to Ukraine. 5 Section 351.207(b)(1) of Commerce’s regulations stipulates that the Secretary may terminate an investigation, provided it has concluded that termination of the investigation is in the public interest. Commerce has concluded that termination is in the public interest. Accordingly, pursuant to section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), and based on the petitioners’ letter withdrawing the AD petition, we are terminating this LTFV investigation. Termination of the Investigation In accordance with section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.207(b)(1), upon the petitioners’ withdrawal of the petition, we are terminating the LTFV investigation of raw honey from Ukraine. Suspension of Liquidation In the Preliminary Determination, Commerce determined weighted- average dumping margins for exporters of raw honey from Ukraine that were above de minimis. Therefore, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of raw honey from Ukraine as of November 23, 2021, the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination.6 Because Commerce is terminating this LTFV investigation, we will instruct CBP to terminate suspension of liquidation and refund any cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for entries of raw honey from Ukraine.

SUMMARY : The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily finds that Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Co., Ltd. (Saha Thai), as well as 28 non-examined companies, made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) March 1, 2020, through February 28, 2021. We further preliminarily determine that K Line Logistics (Thailand) Ltd. (K-Line) had no shipments during the POR. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. DATES : Applicable April 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background These preliminary results are made in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce published the notice of initiation of this administrative review on May 5, 2021. 1 On November 24, 2021, Commerce extended the time for issuing the preliminary results of this review to March 31, 2022. 2 For a more complete description of the events between the initiation of this review and these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary 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 https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, the signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https:// access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesList Layout.aspx. Scope of the Order 4 The products covered by the Order are pipes and tubes from Thailand. For a full description of the scope of this Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5 Methodology Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Act. Export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Determination of No Shipments On May 31, 2021, K-Line submitted a letter certifying that it had no exports or sales of subject merchandise into the United States during the POR. 6 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not have any information to contradict this claim of no shipments during the POR.7 Therefore, we preliminarily determine that K-Line did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce’s practice, we will not rescind the review with respect to K- Line but will complete the review and issue instructions to CBP based on the final results.8 Rate for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerce’s regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the weighted- average of the estimated weighted- average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) margins, and any margins determined entirely on the basis of facts available. In this review, we have preliminarily calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for mandatory respondent, Saha Thai, that is zero percent. Where the rates for the individually examined companies are all zero, de minimis, or determined entirely using facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act instructs that Commerce ‘‘may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.’’ One such reasonable method is to weight average the zero and de minimis rates, and the rates determined entirely pursuant to facts available.
