The Department did not receive any comments with respect to its preliminary calculation of expected NME wages published in the Federal Register notice, Expected Non-Market Economy Wages: Request for Comments on 2006 Calculation, 72 FR 949, January 9, 2007.

The Department is therefore adopting its preliminary calculation without any changes. These expected NME wages based on 2004 GNI will be used by the Department in all segments of all NME proceedings for which the final determination is due on or after February 16, 2007.

In accordance with the Federal Register notice Antidumping Methodologies: Market Economy Inputs, Expected Non-Market Economy Wages, Duty Drawback; and Request for Comments, 71 FR 61716, Oct 19, 2006, (hereafter, the “Antidumping Methodologies notice”), the Department intends to publish its next annual expected NME wage rates, which will be based on 2005 GNI, on its website in the autumn of 2007, together with a notice in the Federal Register requesting comment with regard to potential clerical errors. The Department intends to finalize its calculations based on 2005 GNI within one month thereafter. The revised expected NME wage rates based on 2005 GNI will be used in all segments of all NME proceedings for which the deadline for submission of surrogate values is on or after the date of publication of the finalized expected NME wage rates based on 2005 GNI.

The Department's methodology is described in full in the Antidumping Methodologies notice.
