ACTION: Notice of inquiry. SUMMARY: This notice is to advise the public that the National Defense Stockpile Market Impact Committee, co-chaired by the Departments of Commerce and State, is seeking public comments on the potential market impact of increasing the National Defense Stockpile's proposed Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Materials Plan disposal level for tantalum carbide powder.

(202)482-8234. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Under the authority of the Strategic and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 98, *et seq.* ), the Department of Defense (DOD), as National Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a stockpile of strategic and critical materials to supply the military, industrial, and essential civilian needs of the United States for national defense. Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year

(FY)1993 National Defense Authorization Act

(NDAA)(50 U.S.C. 98h-1) formally established a Market Impact Committee (the Committee) to “advise the National Defense Stockpile Manager on the projected domestic and foreign economic effects of all acquisitions and disposals of materials from the stockpile * * *.” The Committee must also balance market impact concerns with the statutory requirement to protect the Government against avoidable loss. The Committee is comprised of representatives from the Departments of Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and Homeland Security, and is co-chaired by the Departments of Commerce and State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the Committee to consult with industry representatives that produce, process, or consume the materials contained in the stockpile. The Committee is seeking public comments on the potential market impact of increasing the National Defense Stockpile's proposed Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Materials Plan disposal level for tantalum carbide powder from 4,000 pounds to 13,000 pounds. Public comments are an important element of the Committee's market impact review process. The quantity listed for tantalum carbide powder is not a disposal or sales target quantity, but rather a statement of the proposed maximum disposal quantity of the material that may be sold in a particular fiscal year by the DNSC. The quantity of the material that will actually be offered for sale will depend on the market for the material at the time of the offering as well as on the quantity of the material approved for disposal by Congress. Submission of Comments The Committee requests that interested parties provide written comments, supporting data and documentation, and any other relevant information on the potential market impact of the sale of this material. All comments must be submitted to the address indicated in this notice. All comments submitted through e-mail must include the phrase “Market Impact Committee Notice of Inquiry” in the subject line. The Committee encourages interested persons who wish to comment to do so at the earliest possible time. The period for submission of comments will close on July 24, 2006. The Committee will consider all comments received before the close of the comment period. Comments received after the end of the comment period will be considered, if possible, but their consideration cannot be assured. Anyone submitting business confidential information should clearly identify the business confidential portion of the submission and also provide a non-confidential submission that can be placed in the public record. The Committee will seek to protect such information to the extent permitted by law. All comments submitted in response to this notice will be made a matter of public record and will be available for public inspection and copying.

SUMMARY: We determine that metal calendar slides

(MCS)from Japan are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), as provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The estimated margins of sales at LTFV are shown in the “Final Determination” section of this notice.” Moreover, we determine that critical circumstances do not exist with regard to certain exports of subject merchandise from Japan. *See* the “Critical Circumstances” section below.

(202)482-0780, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 25, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) issued its preliminary determination of sales at LTFV of MCS from Japan. *See Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Metal Calendar Slides from Japan* , 71 FR 5244 (February 1, 2006) ( *Preliminary Determination* ). In the *Preliminary Determination* , the Department stated that it would issue its preliminary finding with respect to Stuebing Automatic Machine Company's (Petitioner) critical circumstances allegation within 30 days. On February 21, 2006, the Department issued its negative preliminary determination regarding critical circumstances in this investigation. *See Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances: Metal Calendar Slides from Japan* , 71 FR 9779 (February 27, 2006). In response to our January 13, 2006 supplemental questionnaire, Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd. (Respondent) submitted, on January 27, 2006, revised versions of its cost of production and constructed value databases that included production information regarding its MCS sales during the period of investigation (POI). On February 1, 2006, Respondent filed, pursuant to section 351.224(c)(2) of the Department's regulations, a timely allegation that the Department made ministerial errors in the *Preliminary Determination* . Petitioner neither alleged any ministerial errors nor filed response comments. On February 24, 2006, the Department issued a memorandum stating that, because the errors were not significant pursuant to sections 351.224(c) and

(g)of the Department's regulations, it would not correct the ministerial errors until the final determination. *See Memorandum from the Team, to Barbara E. Tillman, Director for Office of AD/CVD Enforcement 6, “Allegations of Ministerial Errors in the Preliminary Determination,” (Ministerial Error Memorandum).* On February 13, 2006, Respondent requested that the Department postpone the final determination and extend provisional measures in this investigation. We postponed the final determination to June 16, 2006, under section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and section 351.210(b)(2)(ii) of Department's regulations. *See Notice of Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Metal Calendar Slides from Japan* , 71 FR 13091 (March 14, 2006). The Department conducted sales and cost verifications from February 13, 2006 through February 17, 2006, and from February 20, 2006 through February 24, 2006, respectively. *See Verification of the Sales Response of Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Metal Calendar Slides from Japan, (March 24, 2006) (Sales Verification Report); and Verification of the Cost of Production and Constructed Value Date Submitted by Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Metal Calendar Slides from Japan* , (April 14, 2006) ( *Cost Verification Report* ). On April 6, 2006, the Department met with Petitioner on model matching issues. *See Memorandum from Dara Iserson to the File Antidumping Duty Investigation of Calendar Metal Slides from Japan* , dated April 6, 2006. On April 18, 2006, Petitioner submitted comments regarding modification of the model matching criteria. On April 26, 2006, we received rebuttal comments from Respondent regarding this issue. On May 1, 2006, Petitioner and Respondent filed their case briefs. On May 8, 2006, the Department received a rebuttal brief from Respondent. Petitioner did not submit a rebuttal brief. On May 25, 2006, Respondent submitted a database containing the reallocated home market bank charges, as they had been reported in its February 10, 2006, response. Period of Investigation The POI is April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. Scope of Investigation For the purpose of this investigation, the products covered are metal calendar slides (MCS). The products covered in this investigation are “V” and/or “U” shaped MCS manufactured from cold-rolled steel sheets, whether or not left in black form, tin plated or finished as tin free steel (TFS), typically with a thickness from 0.19 mm to 0.23 mm, typically in lengths from 152 mm to 915 mm, typically in widths from 12 mm to 29 mm when the slide is lying flat and before the angle is pressed into the slide (although they are not typically shipped in this “flat” form), that are typically either primed to protect the outside of the slide against oxidization or coated with a colored enamel or lacquer for decorative purposes, whether or not stacked, and excluding paper and plastic slides. MCS are typically provided with either a plastic attached hanger or eyelet to hang and bind calendars, posters, maps or charts, or the hanger can be stamped from the metal body of the slide itself. These MCS are believed to be classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 7326.90.1000 (Other articles of iron and steel: Forged or stamped; but not further worked: Other: Of tinplate). This HTSUS number is provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP)purposes. The written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive. Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we verified the information submitted by Respondent for use in this final determination. We used standard verification procedures including examination of relevant accounting and production records, and original source documents provided by Respondent. *See Sales Verification Report* and *Cost Verification Report* . Critical Circumstances On February 21, 2006, we issued our preliminary finding that critical circumstances did not exist for Respondent. * See Notice of Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances: Metal Calendar Slides From Japan * (February 27, 2006). We received comments on our critical circumstances determination from Petitioner and Respondent. *See Memorandum from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, “Metal Calendar Slides from Japan: Final Determination of Sales at Less-than-Fair Value” (Issues and Decisions Memorandum)* , dated concurrently with this notice. Section 735(a)(3) of the Act provides that the Department will determine that critical circumstances exist if: (A)(i) There is a history of dumping and material injury by reason of dumped imports in the United States or elsewhere of the subject merchandise; or

(ii)the person by whom, or for whose account, the merchandise was imported knew or should have known that the exporter was selling the subject merchandise at less than its fair value and that there would to be material injury by reason of such sales; and

(B)there have been massive imports of the subject merchandise over a relatively short period. We determine that critical circumstances do not exist for imports of subject merchandise because, there is no history of dumping of this product in the United States or elsewhere (See memorandum to the file dated June 16, 2006); and the calculated final margin for Nishiyama's EP sales and for “all other” exporters is less than the 25 percent knowledge threshold. Therefore, we determine that critical circumstances do not exist for imports of subject merchandise because, as required section 735(a)(3)(A) of the Act, there is no evidence that importers knew, or should have known, that the exporter was selling subject merchandise at LTFV. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the comments submitted by interested parties are listed in the Appendix to this notice and are addressed in the *Issues and Decisions Memorandum* , which is hereby adopted by this notice.

The paper copy and the electronic version of the *Issues and Decisions Memorandum* are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our findings at verification and on our analysis of the comments received, we have made certain adjustments to the margin calculations used in the *Preliminary Determination* . These adjustments are discussed in detail in several memoranda. *See* Memorandum From Scott Lindsay, Senior Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6 and Dara Iserson, Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6 through: Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6 to the File, “ *Final Analysis Memorandum for Metal Calendar Slides from Japan: Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd.* ” (June 16, 2006) ( *Final Calculation Memorandum* ); Memorandum from Ernest Z. Gziryan, Senior Accountant, through Taija A. Slaughter, Program Manager, to Neal M. Halper, Director, Office of Accounting, “ *Cost of Production and Constructed Value Calculation Adjustments for the Final Determination - Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd.”* (June 16, 2006) ( *Cost Calculation Memorandum* ); and *Issues and Decisions Memorandum* . Final Determination We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005: Manufacturer/Exporter Weighted-Average Margin (Percent) Nishiyama Kinzoku Co., Ltd. 3.02% All Others 3.02% Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP)to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of MCS from Japan that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 1, 2006, the date of publication of the *Preliminary Determination* in the **Federal Register** . We will instruct CBP to continue to require, for each entry, a cash deposit or the posting of a bond equal to the weighted-average dumping margins indicated above. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we have notified the U.S. International Trade Commission

(ITC)of our determination. As our final determination is affirmative, the ITC will determine, within 45 days, whether these imports materially injure, or threaten material injury to, an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 735(b)(2)(B) of the Act. If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all securities posted will be refunded or canceled. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP officials to assess 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 also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order

(APO)of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's regulations. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.

(NOS)is responsible for providing nautical charts and related information for safe navigation. NOS collects and compiles hydrographic, tidal and current, geodetic, and a variety of other data in order to fulfill this responsibility. The HSRP provides advice on topics such as “NOAA's Hydrographic Survey Priorities,” technologies relating to operations, research and development, and dissemination of data pertaining to:

(a)Hydrographic surveying;

(b)Nautical charting;

(c)Water level measurements;

(d)Current measurements;

(e)Geodetic measurements; and

(f)Geospaital measurements. The HSRP comprises fifteen voting members appointed by the Under Secretary in accordance with Section 105 of the Act. Members are selected on a standardized basis, in accordance with applicable Department of Commerce guidance. The voting members of the HSRP are individuals who, by reason of knowledge, experience, or training, are especially qualified in one or more disciplines relating to hydropgraphic surveying, tides, currents, geodetic and geospatial measurements, marine transportation, port administration, vessel pilotage, and coastal and fishery management. An individual may not be appointed as a voting member of the HSRP if the individual is a full-time officer or employee of the United States. Any voting member of the HSRP who is an applicant for, or beneficiary of, (as determined by the Under Secretary) any assistance under the Act shall disclose to the HSRP that relationship, and may not vote on any matter pertaining to that assistance. Voting members of the HSRP serve for a term of four years. Members serve at the discretion of the Under Secretary and are subject to government ethics standards. Any individual appointed to a partial or full term may be reappointed for one additional full term. A voting member may serve until his or her successor has taken office. The HSRP selects one voting member to serve as the Chair and another to serve as the Vice Chair. The Vice Chair acts as Chair in the absence or incapacity of the Chair but will not automatically become the Chair if the Chair resigns. At the minimum, meetings occur biannually, and at the call of the Chair or upon the request of a majority of the voting members or of the Under Secretary. Voting members receive compensation at a rate established by the Under Secretary, not to exceed the maximum daily rate payable under section 5376 of title 5, United States Code, when actually engaged in the performance of duties for such Panel and shall be reimbursed for actual and reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of such duties.
