Filing Information

As a courtesy, we are making information related to Sunset
proceedings, including copies of the Department's regulations regarding
Sunset Reviews (19 CFR 351.218) and Sunset Policy Bulletin, the
Department's schedule of Sunset Reviews, case history information
(i.e., previous margins, duty absorption determinations, scope
language, import volumes), and service lists available to the public on
the Department's sunset Internet Web site at the following address:
https://ia.ita.doc.gov/sunset/. All submissions in these Sunset Reviews
must be filed in accordance with the Department's regulations regarding
format, translation, service, and certification of documents. These
rules can be found at 19 CFR 351.303.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(c), the Department will maintain and
make available a service list for these proceedings. To facilitate the
timely preparation of the service list(s), it is requested that those
seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding contact the
Department in writing within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties to apply for access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of initiation of the
sunset review. The Department's regulations on submission of
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.

Information Required from Interested Parties

Domestic interested parties (defined in section 771(9) (C), (D),
(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)) wishing to
participate in these Sunset Reviews must respond not later than 15 days
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the orders without further review. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii).
For sunset reviews of countervailing duty orders, parties wishing
the Department to consider arguments that countervailable subsidy
programs have been terminated must include with their substantive
responses information and documentation addressing whether the changes
to the program were (1) limited to an individual firm or firms and (2)
effected by an official act of the government. Further, a party
claiming program termination is expected to document that there are no
residual benefits under the program and that substitute programs have
not been introduced. Cf. 19 CFR 351.526 (b) and (d). If a party
maintains that any of the subsidies countervailed by the Department
were not conferred pursuant to a subsidy program, that party should
nevertheless address the applicability of the factors set forth in 19
CFR 351.526 (b) and (d). Similarly, parties wishing the Department to
consider whether a company's change in ownership has extinguished the
benefit from prior non-recurring, allocable, subsidies must include
with their substantive responses information

[[Page 4690]]

and documentation supporting their claim that all or almost all of the
company's shares or assets were sold in an arm's length transaction, at
a price representing fair market value, as described in the Notice of
Final Modification of Agency Practice Under Section 123 of the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act, 68 FR 37125 (June 23, 2003) (Modification
Notice). See Modification Notice for a discussion of the types of

from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in the Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements. Please consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews.\1\ Please consult the Department's
regulations at 19 CFR part 351 for definitions of terms and for other
general information concerning antidumping and countervailing duty
proceedings at the Department.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ In comments made on the interim final sunset regulations, a
number of parties stated that the proposed five-day period for
rebuttals to substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the final sunset
regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As provided in 19 CFR
351.302(b), however, the Department will consider individual
requests for extension of that five-day deadline based upon a
showing of good cause.

This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
