SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Turkey published
in the Federal Register on July 24, 1996.\1\ Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we
received a timely request for a new shipper review of the order from
Durum.\2\ Durum certified that it is both the producer and exporter of
the subject merchandise upon which the request was based.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final
Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Pasta From
Turkey, 61 FR 38545 (July 24, 1996) (Order).
\2\ See Durum's new shipper request dated July 27, 2015, and the
revised version (correcting for filing errors) submitted August 11,
2015.
\3\ Id., at Exhibit 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(i), Durum certified that it did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during the period of investigation
(POI).\4\ In addition, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Durum certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, it has never been affiliated with any
exporter or producer that exported subject merchandise to the United
States during the POI, including those respondents not individually
examined during the POI.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
\5\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to the certifications described above, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.214(b)(2), Durum submitted documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which the subject merchandise was first
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption; (2) the volume
of its first shipment; and (3) the date of its first sale to an
unaffiliated customer in the United States.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Id., at Exhibit 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(A) of the Act, the
period of review (POR) for the new shipper reviews of Durum is July 1,
2014, through June 30, 2015.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), the Department finds that the request from Durum meets
the threshold requirements for initiation of a new shipper review for
shipments of certain pasta from Turkey produced and exported by
Durum.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See the memorandum to the file entitled ``Initiation of AD
New Shipper Review'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the preliminary results of this new
shipper review no later than 180 days from the date of initiation and
the final results of the review no later than 90 days after the date
the preliminary results are issued.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow, at
the option of the importer, the posting, until the completion of the
review, of a bond or security in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry
of the subject merchandise from Durum in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Durum
certified that it produced and exported subject merchandise, the sale
of which is the basis for the request for a new shipper review, we will
apply the bonding privilege to Durum only for subject merchandise which
was produced and exported by Durum.
To assist in its analysis of the bona fides of Durum's sales, upon
initiation of this new shipper review, the Department will require
Durum to submit on an ongoing basis complete transaction information
concerning any sales of subject merchandise to the United States that
were made subsequent to the POR.
Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in
the new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are published in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: August 27, 2015.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
