Where it is not practicable to examine all known producers/exporters of subject merchandise, as is the case in this investigation, section 777A(c)(2) of the Act permits the Department to examine either (1) a sample of exporters, producers or types of products that is statistically valid based on the information available at the time of selection; or (2) exporters and producers accounting for the largest volume of the subject merchandise from the exporting country that can be reasonably examined. In advance of the issuance of the full antidumping duty questionnaire, we ask that you respond to the following Quantity and Value Questionnaire requesting information on the quantity and U.S. dollar value of all of your sales to the United States during the period January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009, of merchandise covered by the scope of this investigation (see Appendix I) and produced in the PRC. A full and accurate response to the Quantity and Value Questionnaire from all participating respondents is necessary to ensure that the Department has the requisite information to appropriately select mandatory respondents. The Department is also requiring all firms that wish to qualify for separate-rate status in this investigation to complete a separate-rate status application as described in the notice of initiation. In other words, the Department will not give consideration to any separaterate status application made by parties that fail to timely respond to the Quality and Value Questionnaire or fail to timely submit the requisite separate-rate status application. To complete this investigation within the statutory time frame, the Department will be limited in its ability to extend the deadline for the response to the Quantity and Value Questionnaire. A definition of the scope of the merchandise subject to this investigation is included in Appendix I. Your response to 52749 this questionnaire may be subject to on-site verification by Department officials.

Indicate any exchange rates used and their respective dates and sources. 42 Generally, a U.S. sale is classified as an export price sale when the first sale to an unaffiliated person occurs before the goods are imported into the United States. 43 Generally, a U.S. sale is classified as a constructed export price sale when the first sale to an unaffiliated person occurs after importation. However, if the first sale to the unaffiliated person is made by a person in the United States affiliated with the foreign exporter, constructed export price applies even if the sale occurs prior to importation. Do not report the sale to the affiliated party in the United States, rather report the sale made by the affiliated party to the unaffiliated customer in the United States. If you have further manufactured sales, please report them under Item 3, rather than under Item 2. 44 ‘‘Further manufactured’’ refers to merchandise that undergoes further manufacture or assembly in the United States before sale to the first unaffiliated customer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 1, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative Review’’ of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium for the period of review (POR), May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 20278 (May 1, 2009). On June 1, 2009, in accordance with 19 CFR § 351.213(b), the Department received a timely request from ArcelorMittal Stainless Belgium N.V. (AMS Belgium) to conduct an administrative review of AMS Belgium. AMS Belgium was the only party to request this administrative review. On June 24, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium covering one respondent, AMS Belgium. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 30052 (June 24, 2009). On September 22, 2009, AMS Belgium timely withdrew its request for review. Thus, we are rescinding this administrative review. Rescission of Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On September 22, 2009, AMS Belgium withdrew its request for an administrative review. AMS Belgium withdrew its request before the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium for the POR. Therefore, in response to AMS Belgium’s withdrawal of its request for review, and pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(1), the Department rescinds the administrative review of the E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1
