AGENCY: Background Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an antidumping or countervailing duty order, finding, or suspension of investigation, an interested party, as defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213, that the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) conduct an administrative review of that 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 to extend that five-day deadline based upon a showing of good cause.

All deadlines for the submission of comments or actions by the Department discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting date. Respondent Selection In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to requests made for the orders identified below, 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. We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO within seven days of publication of the initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent selection within 21 days of publication of the initiation Federal Register notice. Therefore, we encourage all parties interested in commenting on respondent selection to submit their APO applications on the date of publication of the initiation notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the review. Ball Bearing and Parts Thereof From Various Countries Included in the list of orders for which May 2011 is the anniversary month (see below) are the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom. With respect to the reporting requirements in any administrative reviews of these orders which the Department conducts as a result of requests it receives in May 2011, the Department has determined, after several years of experience with larger databases in recent reviews of these orders, that it has the technological ability to calculate antidumping margins for all transactions of subject merchandise. Therefore, the Department intends to apply its standard requirements in antidumping proceedings for respondents to report all U.S. sales of subject merchandise and all comparison-market sales of the foreign like product in any administrative reviews it conducts of the orders for the period May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011.

See Suspension Agreement on Certain Cutto-Length Carbon Steel Plate From the People’s Republic of China; Termination of Suspension Agreement and Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 68 FR 60081 (October 21, 2003).

See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 67079 (November 1, 2010).

On December 28, 2010, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review of Hunan Valin. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 81565 (December 28, 2010). On January 12, 2011, Hunan Valin submitted a letter certifying that it did not have any exports or sales of subject merchandise during the POR. The Department conducted an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data query and found no evidence that Hunan Valin had any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. In addition, on March 3, 2011, the Department made a ‘‘No Shipments Inquiry’’ to CBP to confirm that there were no exports of subject merchandise by Hunan Valin during the POR. The Department asked CBP to notify the Department within ten days if CBP ‘‘has contrary information and is suspending liquidation’’ of subject merchandise exported by Hunan Valin. See ‘‘Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from the People’s Republic of China: Memorandum of Intent to Rescind Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, from Magd Zalok to Abdelali Elouaradia, dated March 25, 2011 (‘‘Intent to Rescind Memorandum’’).

As noted above, the Department has found and continues to find no evidence that Hunan Valin had shipments or entries of subject merchandise during the POR and no interested party has commented on the issue.

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD 
Operations, Customs Unit, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4697.

Background

    Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an 
antidumping or countervailing duty order, finding, or suspension of 
investigation, an interested party, as defined in section 771(9) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), may request, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213, that the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') conduct an administrative review of that antidumping or 
countervailing duty order, finding, or suspended investigation.
    All deadlines for the submission of comments or actions by the 
Department discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from 
the applicable starting date.

Respondent Selection

    In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for 
individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to 
requests made for the orders identified below, 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. We intend 
to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') 
to all parties having an APO within seven days of publication of the 
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent 
selection within 21 days of publication of the initiation Federal 
Register notice. Therefore, we encourage all parties interested in 
commenting on respondent selection to submit their APO applications on 
the date of publication of the initiation notice, or as soon thereafter 
as possible. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and 
respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on 
the record of the review.

Ball Bearing and Parts Thereof From Various Countries

    Included in the list of orders for which May 2011 is the 
anniversary month (see below) are the antidumping duty orders on ball 
bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the 
United Kingdom. With respect to the reporting requirements in any 
administrative reviews of these orders which the Department conducts as 
a result of requests it receives in May 2011, the Department has 
determined, after several years of experience with larger databases in 
recent reviews of these orders, that it has the technological ability 
to calculate antidumping margins for all transactions of subject 
merchandise. Therefore, the Department intends to apply its standard 
requirements in antidumping proceedings for respondents to report all 
U.S. sales of subject merchandise and all comparison-market sales of 
the foreign like product in any administrative reviews it conducts of 
the orders for the period May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011.

Suspension Agreements

    None.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 non-
market 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
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 Trade 
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
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 3508 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii), a copy of each request must be served on the 
petitioner and each exporter or producer specified in the request.
    The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of 
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received 
by the last day of May 2011. If the Department does not receive, by the 
last day of May 2011, 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 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 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 POR.
    This notice is not required by statute but is published as a 
service to the international trading community.

    Dated: April 22, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
