AWTS. Companies are selected for this
survey using a stratified random sample
based on annual sales size with a
company’s probability of selection
increasing with their annual sales size.
We will furnish report forms to the
firms covered by this survey in January
2010 and will require their submissions
within 30 days after receipt. The sample
of firms selected will provide, with
measurable reliability, statistics on
annual sales, e-commerce sales,
purchases, total operating expenses,
year-end inventories held both inside
and outside the Unites States,
commissions, total operating revenue,
and gross selling value, for 2009.
Sections 182, 224, and 225 of title 13
of the United States Code authorizes the
Census Bureau to take surveys that are
necessary to furnish current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
As part of this authorization, the Census
Bureau conducts the AWTS to provide
continuing and timely national statistics
data on wholesale trade activity for the
period between economic censuses. For
2009, the survey will, as it has in the
past, operate as a sample of wholesale
distributors; manufacturers’ sales
branches and offices; and agent, brokers,
and electronic markets. The data
collected in this survey will be similar
to that collected in the past and within
the general scope and nature of those
inquiries covered in the economic
census. These data are collected to
provide a sound statistical basis for the
formation of policy by various
government agencies. These data will be
available for use for a variety of public
and business needs such as economic
and market analysis, company
performance, and forecasting future
demand.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. In
accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501–3521, OMB approved the AWTS
under OMB control number 0607–0195.
Based upon the foregoing, I have
directed that the annual survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.
Dated: October 28, 2009.

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. In addition, a domestic
interested party or an interested party
described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act
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–by-order 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,
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
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.

The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation
of Administrative Review of
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Orders, Findings, or Suspended

the last day of November 2009. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of November 2009, a request for
review of entries covered by an order,
finding, or suspended investigation
listed in this notice and for the period
identified above, the Department will
instruct the CBP to assess antidumping
or countervailing duties on those entries
at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or
bond for) estimated antidumping or
countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment
of antidumping or countervailing duties
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 to the period of review.

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, 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://www.trade.gov/ia.
Six copies of the request 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. The Department also asks
parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of Antidumping/
Countervailing Operations, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in room 3065 of
the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with section
351.303(f)(l)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request must be
served on every party on the Department's service list.
The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Orders, Findings, or Suspended Investigations'' for requests
received by the last day of November 2009. If the Department does not
receive, by the last day of November 2009, a request for review of
entries covered by an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed
in this notice and for the period identified above, the Department will
instruct the CBP to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on
those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for)
estimated antidumping or countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect the cash deposit previously
ordered.
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties 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 to the period of review.
This notice is not required by statute but is published as a
service to the international trading community.
Dated: October 26, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
