Suspension Agreements
None.
In accordance with section 351.213(b)
of the regulations, an interested party as
defined by section 771(9) of the Act,
may request in writing that the
Secretary conduct an administrative
review. For both antidumping and
countervailing duty reviews, the
interested party must specify the
individual producers or exporters
covered by an antidumping finding or
an antidumping or countervailing duty
order or suspension agreement for
which it is requesting a review, and the
requesting party must state why it
desires the Secretary to review those
particular producers or exporters.2 If the
interested party intends for the
Secretary to review sales of merchandise
by an exporter (or a producer if that
producer also exports merchandise from
other suppliers) which were produced
in more than one country of origin and
each country of origin is subject to a
separate order, then the interested party
must state specifically, on an order-byorder basis, which exporter(s) the
request is intended to cover.
Please note that, for any party the
Department was unable to locate in
prior segments, the Department will not
accept a request for an administrative
review of that party absent new
information as to the party’s location.
Moreover, if the interested party who
files a request for review is unable to
locate the producer or exporter for
which it requested the review, the
interested party must provide an
explanation of the attempts it made to
locate the producer or exporter at the
same time it files its request for review,
2 If the review request involves a non-market
economy and the parties subject to the review
request do not qualify for separate rates, all other
exporters of subject merchandise from the nonmarket economy country who do not have a
separate rate will be covered by the review as part
of the single entity of which the named firms are
a part.

in order for the Secretary to determine
if the interested party’s attempts were
reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department
has clarified its practice with respect to
the collection of final antidumping
duties on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders. See also the Import
Administration Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, International

Commerce Building. Further, in
accordance with section 351.303(f)(l)(i)

a broad range of clean energy
technologies such as renewable energy,
energy efficiency, clean coal, and
distributed generation. This mission
takes place within the context of the
Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean
Development and Climate, a publicprivate partnership in which member
countries work together to facilitate
commercial deployment of technologies
that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and enhance energy security. The goal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Commercial Setting
India: With the rapid growth of its
economy, demand for energy in India
far exceeds its growth in supply. Rising
energy prices, worsening pollution
problems, and energy security risks
have created a critical need for
investments in clean energy. The
Government of India has prioritized the
development of renewable energy. The
following factors support the growth of
the Indian renewables sector: the large
demand-supply gap in electricity;
abundant renewable energy resources
(solar, wind, biomass, and hydro); low
gestation periods for establishing
renewables projects; conducive
government policies; availability of
numerous financing options for capital
equipment; and increasing industry
awareness of the benefits of
environmental responsibility. The
market in India for renewable energy is
estimated to be worth $500 million, and
is growing at an annual rate of 15
percent, creating strong and diverse
business prospects for U.S. renewable
energy companies.
As the seat of the national
government, New Delhi is also the
principal end-user of clean energy
technology fulfilling the Government of
India’s directives on nation-wide
deployment of renewables. In many
cases, the Government of India provides
incentives to promote the installation of
renewable energy generation projects.
New Delhi is also one of India’s largest
metropolitan areas and is in dire need
of power generation and environmental
quality improvements. The city’s size
makes it an attractive market for large
investments in clean energy projects
from solid and liquid wastes, the
utilization of which for the purposes of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
energy production is a key national
priority.
Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu,
and in addition to being one of the top
five Indian states in terms of foreign
direct investment, it has the distinction
of being a leader in wind energy. The
state has also taken a lead role in India
in promoting solar air heating
technology. Taking advantage of the
state government’s investments in
renewable energy, India’s first-of-its
kind special economic zone (SEZ) for
manufacturing and testing of nonconventional energy equipment is set to
open soon in Chennai. The project is
expected to attract an investment of
$65–$90 million over the next four years
and will encompass over 1,000 acres.
Chennai is also the location of the
Center for Wind Energy Technology, a
research institute active in all aspects of
wind energy.
China: Due to rapidly increasing
energy demand and the desire to expand
the use of non-fossil fuels, the Chinese
government is targeting the
development of clean energy
technologies in its current 11th Five
Year Plan. Emphasized sectors include
clean coal technologies, wind power,
solar power, and biomass.
Beijing is unique in China in that it
is a city with provincial status, enabling
its municipal government to approve
independent foreign investment projects
up to a value of $30 million. This has
positioned Beijing as an attractive
location for foreign investment in China.
As the national capital, Beijing offers
unparalleled access to meet with
Chinese policymakers. There is a strong
market for clean energy technologies in
Beijing, due to its size and economic
importance. The selection of the city as
the host of the 2008 Summer Olympic
Games has spurred substantial
government investment in projects that
improve environmental quality.
Nanjing (population 5,000,000), a few
hours from Shanghai along the Yangtze
River, is one of China’s most developed
cities. Power and energy are among the
city’s core industries. The city hosts one
of China’s largest trade fairs on
renewable/clean energy and is currently
undertaking a prominent provinciallevel project to create an efficient power
plant. The project is intended to achieve
energy conservation and efficiency by
implementing new technologies, and is
rooted in demand-side management
familiar to U.S. companies. The
utilization of clean, renewable energy
and energy efficiency are crucial
components of the project.
Mission Goals: The Trade Mission’s
goal is to facilitate market entry or
increased sales into these significant
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5009
markets for U.S. clean technologies
firms, as well to assist the mission
participants in gaining first-hand market
information and access to key
government officials and potential
business partners.
Mission Scenario: In India and China,
the International Trade Administration
will:
• Provide a market briefing
highlighting opportunities in the clean
technologies sectors.
• Schedule one-on-one appointments
with potential business partners for
each participant.
• Provide a venue for the one-on-one
appointments and provide interpreters
as needed.
• Provide networking opportunities
with the private and public sectors.
• Organize relevant site visits.
