Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 188 / Friday, October 1, 2021 / Notices investigation was suspended. In this case, Commerce and representatives of the Mexican tomato producers/exporters accounting for substantially all imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico signed the 2019 Agreement, which suspended the underlying antidumping duty investigation, on September 19, 2019.
Pursuant to the 2019 Agreement, the Mexican signatories agreed that the subject merchandise would be subject to minimum reference prices and that at least 85 percent of the dumping from the original investigation would be eliminated.11 The Mexican signatories also agreed to other conditions, including quarterly audits,12 near-theborder inspections by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture on all Round and Roma tomatoes and certain other types of tomatoes beginning on April 4, 2020,13 and limits to adjustments to the sales price due to certain changes in condition and quality after shipment.14
After reviewing the information received to date from the respondent companies in their questionnaire and supplemental questionnaire responses, we preliminarily determine that the respondents have adhered to the terms of the 2019 Agreement, except for certain instances of inadvertent and/or inconsequential noncompliance, and that the 2019 Agreement is functioning as intended. Further, we preliminarily determine that the 2019 Agreement continues to meet the statutory requirements under sections 734c and d of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Commerce is addressing proprietary issues concerning each of the respondents in separate memoranda which we incorporate into the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.15
Verification As provided in section 782i3a of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information relied upon in making its final results. Normally, Commerce verifies information using standard procedures, including an on-site examination of original accounting, financial, and sales documentation.
