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.
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
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.

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.
All requests must be filed
electronically in Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’) on the IA ACCESS Web site
at https://iaaccess.trade.gov. See
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Electronic Filing
Procedures; Administrative Protective
Order Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6,
2011). Further, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), 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 November 2012. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of November 2012, 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
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.

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) established a
mechanism to replace domestic judicial
review of final determinations in
antidumping and countervailing duty
cases involving imports from a NAFTA
country with review by independent
binational panels. When a Request for
Panel Review is filed, a panel is
established to act in place of national
courts to review expeditiously the final
determination to determine whether it
conforms with the antidumping or
countervailing duty law of the country
that made the determination.
Under Article 1904 of the Agreement,
which came into force on January 1,
1994, the Government of the United
States, the Government of Canada, and
the Government of Mexico established
Rules of Procedure for Article 1904
Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’).
These Rules were published in the
Federal Register on February 23, 1994
(59 FR 8686).
A first Request for Panel Review was
filed with the United States Section of
the NAFTA Secretariat, pursuant to
Article 1904 of the Agreement, on
October 24, 2012, requesting a panel
review of the determination and order
described above.
The Rules provide that:
(a) A Party or interested person may
challenge the final determination in
whole or in part by filing a Complaint
in accordance with Rule 39 within 30
days after the filing of the first Request
for Panel Review (the deadline for filing
a Complaint is November 23, 2012);
(b) A Party, investigating authority or
interested person that does not file a
Complaint but that intends to appear in
support of any reviewable portion of the
final determination may participate in
the panel review by filing a Notice of
Appearance in accordance with Rule 40
within 45 days after the filing of the first
Request for Panel Review (the deadline
for filing a Notice of Appearance is
December 10, 2012); and
(c) The panel review shall be limited
to the allegations of error of fact or law,
including the jurisdiction of the
investigating authority, that are set out
in the Complaints filed in panel review
and the procedural and substantive
defenses raised in the panel review.
Dated: October 31, 2012.

Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties to apply for access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate. The Department's regulations
on submission of proprietary information and eligibility to receive
access to business proprietary information under APO can be found at 19
CFR 351.304-306.
Information Required From Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E),
(F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b) wishing to participate in
a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by
filing a notice of intent to participate. The required contents of the
notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii).
If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
Also, note that the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements. Please consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's

conduct of Sunset Reviews.\1\ Please consult the Department's
regulations at 19 CFR Part 351 for definitions of terms and for other
general information concerning antidumping and countervailing duty
proceedings at the Department.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.

This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218 (c).
Dated: October 19, 2012.
