Honey From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results
and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2011-
2012

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As discussed below, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') preliminarily determines that none of the companies
remaining under review following the partial rescission of this
administrative review have demonstrated their eligibility for a
separate rate.\1\ As such, they remain part of the People's Republic of
China (``PRC'')-wide entity. If we adopt these preliminary results in
the final results of review, the Department will instruct

[[Page 38942]]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping
duties on entries of subject merchandise during the period of review.

Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Honey
from the People's Republic of China,'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum''), dated
concurrently with these results, for a complete description of the
Scope of the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with these results
and hereby adopted by this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file electronically via Import
Administration's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to
registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
available on the Internet at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Partial Rescission of Review

The Department is rescinding this review with regard to Anhui
Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co.,
Ltd., Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd. as
parties have timely withdrawn all review requests with respect to these
companies. These companies have separate rates from a prior segment of
this proceeding; therefore, antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Act.

Assessment Rates

With regard to this partial rescission of the review, the
Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. The Department intends to issue appropriate
partial rescission assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these preliminary results. Further, upon issuance
of the final results, the Department will determine, and CBP shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed
period; (2) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be the PRC-wide rate of $2.63 per kilogram; and, (3) for all non-
PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter(s) that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
These preliminary results and partial rescission are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4) and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: June 20, 2013.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
