Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government
control and, thus, should be assigned a
single antidumping duty deposit rate. It

E:\FR\FM\26OCN1.SGM
26OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices
is the Department’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, the Department analyzes each
entity exporting the subject
merchandise under a test arising from
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585
(May 2,1994). In accordance with the
separate-rates criteria, the Department
assigns separate rates to companies in
NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure
and de facto government control over
export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate-rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate-rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate-rate
eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was
requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this
proceeding in which they participated,
to certify that they continue to meet the
criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department’s Web site
at https://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register. In
responding to the certification, please
follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department
no later than 30 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Certification applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers
who purchase and export subject
merchandise to the United States.
For entities that have not previously
been assigned a separate rate, to
demonstrate eligibility for such, the
Department requires a Separate Rate
Status Application. The Separate Rate
Status Application will be available on
the Department’s Web site at https://
www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
54957
publication of this Federal Register
notice. In responding to the Separate
Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the
application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to the Department
no later than 60 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Separate Rate Status
Application applies equally to NMEowned firms, wholly foreign-owned
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase
and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
For exporters and producers who
submit a separate-rate status application
or certification and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents,
these exporters and producers will no
longer be eligible for separate-rate status
unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory
respondents.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders and findings. We intend to issue
the final results of these reviews not
later than September 30, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with September anniversary
dates. The Department also received a timely request to revoke in part
the countervailing duty order on Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat
Products from the Republic of Korea, with respect to one exporter.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review
where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review listed below. If a producer or
exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or
entries during the period of review, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer
or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely
statement certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review. All submissions must
be made in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and are subject to
verification in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (``the Act''). Six copies of the submission should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy of each
request must be served on every party on the Department's service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the period of review
(``POR''). We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative
Protective Order (``APO'') to all parties having an APO within five
days of publication of this initiation notice and to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within 20 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The Department invites comments regarding the
CBP data and respondent selection within 10 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It

with the separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns separate rates
to companies in NME cases only if respondents can demonstrate the
absence of both de jure and de facto government control over export
activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department's Web site at https://www.trade.gov/ia on
the date of publication of this Federal Register. In responding to the
certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department no later than 30 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned
firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and
export subject merchandise to the United States.
For entities that have not previously been assigned a separate
rate, to demonstrate eligibility for such, the Department requires a
Separate Rate Status Application. The Separate Rate Status Application
will be available on the Department's Web site at https://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to the Department no later than 60 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status Application applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign
sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the United
States.
For exporters and producers who submit a separate-rate status
application or certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible
for separate-rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.

\1\ In the initiation notice that published on September 22, 2009 (74 FR
48224) the period of review (``POR'') for Light-Walled Rectangular

correct POR for this case. Separately listed above is the corrected
spelling of two companies that were initiated in the September 22,
2009 notice.
\2\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
rate, all other exporters of Certain Lined Paper Products from the
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') who have not qualified for a
separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the
single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.
\3\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate

from the PRC who have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to
be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which
the named exporters are a part.

Suspension Agreements
None.
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine,
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by
an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject
merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is
affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the
name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties
[[Page 54959]]
on entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption during the relevant provisional-measures ``gap''
period, of the order, if such a gap period is applicable for the POR.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Documents Submission Procedures; APO
Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 22, 2008). Those procedures apply to
administrative reviews included in this notice of initiation. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these administrative reviews should
ensure that they meet the requirements of these procedures (e.g., the
filing of separate letters of appearance as discussed in 19 CFR
351.103(d)).
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act, (19 USC 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(I).
Dated: October 20, 2009.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
