shown that some respondents do not
focus on the calendar year reference
period, but rather report on their current
insurance status. Quantitative studies
have shown that those with more recent
coverage are more likely to report
accurately than those with coverage in
the more past. A new set of integrated
questions on both current and past
calendar year status should produce
more accurate estimates of past year
coverage. This is because the current
coverage status questions may serve as
an anchor to elicit more accurate reports
of past year coverage than the standard
methodology.
In addition to making improvements
to the core set of questions on health
insurance, in 2014 the Affordable Care
Act is set to go into effect. One of the
main features of the ACA is the ‘‘Health
Insurance Exchange.’’ These are joint
federal-state partnerships designed to
create a marketplace of private health
insurance options for individuals and
small businesses. While these
Exchanges are still in development and
states have broad flexibility in designing
the programs, it is essential for the
federal government to have a viable
methodology in place when the
Affordable Care Act goes into effect to
measure Exchange participation, and to
measure types of health coverage (in
general) in the post-reform era.
Lastly, the current health insurance
status questions lend themselves to
questions about whether an employer
offers the employee health insurance.
Although this set of questions is new to
the CPS ASEC, it has been in CPS
production in the Contingent Worker
Supplement (CWS). The CWS was
fielded in February of 1995, 1997, 1999,
2001 and 2005.
The CPS ASEC field test will be
conducted by telephone from one or
more of the Census Bureau’s telephone
data collection centers in March 2013
with retired CPS sample.
The primary purpose of the field
study is to evaluate the redesigned
questions and assess any improvements
over the CPS ASEC status quo design.
Based on the results of the content test,
if results are favorable for the new
instrument, changes may be
implemented in the production CPS
ASEC in 2014.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time only.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) has received
requests to conduct administrative
reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings
with October anniversary dates. In
accordance with the Department’s
regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews.
DATES: Effective Date: December 3, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
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 October
anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of
various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by
the Department discussed below refer to
the number of calendar days from the
applicable starting time.

Notice of No Sales
If a producer or exporter named in
this notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’), it must notify the
Department within 60 days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. All submissions must be filed
electronically at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov in accordance with
19 CFR 351.303. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Electronic Filing Procedures;
Administrative Protective Order
Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011).
Such submissions are subject to
verification in accordance with section
782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’). 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.
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 POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within seven days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 21 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. 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 applicable
review.
In the event the Department decides
it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, the Department has found
that determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating
antidumping duty rates) require a
substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often
require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, the Department
will not conduct collapsing analyses at
the respondent selection phase of this
review and will not collapse companies
at the respondent selection phase unless
there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a
previous segment of this antidumping

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a
party that has requested a review may
withdraw that request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that the Department
may extend this time if it is reasonable
to do so. In order to provide parties
additional certainty with respect to
when the Department will exercise its
discretion to extend this 90-day
deadline, interested parties are advised
that, with regard to reviews requested
on the basis of anniversary months on
or after August 2011, the Department
does not intend to extend the 90-day
deadline unless the requestor
demonstrates that an extraordinary
circumstance has prevented it from
submitting a timely withdrawal request.
Determinations by the Department to
extend the 90-day deadline will be
made on a case-by-case basis.

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
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
notice. 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 60 calendar days after
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.
Entities that currently do not have a
separate rate from a completed segment
of the proceeding 1 should timely file a
Separate Rate Application to
demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. In addition,
companies that received a separate rate
in a completed segment of the
proceeding that have subsequently
made changes, including, but not
limited to, changes to corporate
structure, acquisitions of new
companies or facilities, or changes to
their official company name,2 should
timely file a Separate Rate Application
to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. 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 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.

administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances
review). For any company subject to this
review, if the Department determined,
or continued to treat, that company as
collapsed with others, the Department
will assume that such companies
continue to operate in the same manner
and will collapse them for respondent
selection purposes. Otherwise, the
Department will not collapse companies
for purposes of respondent selection.
Parties are requested to (a) identify
which companies subject to review
previously were collapsed, and (b)
provide a citation to the proceeding in
which they were collapsed. Further, if
companies are requested to complete
the Quantity and Value Questionnaire
for purposes of respondent selection, in
general each company must report
volume and value data separately for
itself. Parties should not include data
for any other party, even if they believe
they should be treated as a single entity
with that other party. If a company was
collapsed with another company or
companies in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
where the Department considered
collapsing that entity, complete quantity
and value data for that collapsed entity
must be submitted.
2 Only changes to the official company name,
rather than trade names, need to be addressed via
a Separate Rate Application. Information regarding
new trade names may be submitted via a Separate
Rate Certification.

In accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating
those administrative reviews.
DATES: Effective Date: December 3, 2012.

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 October anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by the Department discussed
below refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting
time.
Notice of No Sales
If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no
exports, sales, or entries during the period of review (``POR''), it
must notify the Department within 60 days of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register. All submissions must be filed electronically
at https://iaaccess.trade.gov in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303. See
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Electronic Filing
Procedures; Administrative Protective Order Procedures, 76 FR 39263
(July 6, 2011). Such submissions are subject to verification in
accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(``Act''). 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.
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 POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') to
all parties having an APO within seven days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 21 days of publication of this Federal Register
notice. 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 applicable review.
In the event the Department decides it is necessary to limit
individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection
under section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, the Department has found that determinations concerning
whether particular companies should be ``collapsed'' (i.e., treated as
a single entity for purposes of calculating antidumping duty rates)
require a substantial amount of detailed information and analysis,
which often require follow-up questions and analysis. Accordingly, the
Department will not conduct collapsing analyses at the respondent
selection phase of this review and will not collapse companies at the
respondent selection phase unless there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a previous segment of this antidumping
[[Page 71576]]
proceeding (i.e., investigation, administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances review). For any company subject to
this review, if the Department determined, or continued to treat, that
company as collapsed with others, the Department will assume that such
companies continue to operate in the same manner and will collapse them
for respondent selection purposes. Otherwise, the Department will not
collapse companies for purposes of respondent selection. Parties are
requested to (a) identify which companies subject to review previously
were collapsed, and (b) provide a citation to the proceeding in which
they were collapsed. Further, if companies are requested to complete
the Quantity and Value Questionnaire for purposes of respondent
selection, in general each company must report volume and value data
separately for itself. Parties should not include data for any other
party, even if they believe they should be treated as a single entity
with that other party. If a company was collapsed with another company
or companies in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding
where the Department considered collapsing that entity, complete
quantity and value data for that collapsed entity must be submitted.
Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that the Department may extend this time if it is
reasonable to do so. In order to provide parties additional certainty
with respect to when the Department will exercise its discretion to
extend this 90-day deadline, interested parties are advised that, with
regard to reviews requested on the basis of anniversary months on or
after August 2011, the Department does not intend to extend the 90-day
deadline unless the requestor demonstrates that an extraordinary
circumstance has prevented it from submitting a timely withdrawal
request. Determinations by the Department to extend the 90-day deadline
will be made on a case-by-case basis.
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 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 notice. 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 60 calendar days
after 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.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \1\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\2\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently complete
segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\2\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 October 31, 2013.

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 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.
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 at 19 CFR
351.103(d)).
Any party submitting factual information in an antidumping duty or
countervailing duty proceeding must certify to the accuracy and
completeness of that information. See section 782(b) of the Act.
Parties are hereby reminded that revised certification requirements are
in effect for company/government officials as well as their
representatives in all segments of any antidumping duty or
countervailing duty proceedings initiated on or after March 14, 2011.
See Certification of Factual Information to Import Administration
During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Interim Final
Rule, 76 FR 7491 (February 10, 2011) (``Interim Final Rule''), amending
19 CFR 351.303(g)(1) and (2). The formats for the revised
certifications are provided at the end of the Interim Final Rule. The
Department intends to reject factual submissions in any proceeding
segments initiated on or after March 14, 2011 if the submitting party
does not comply with the revised certification requirements.
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: November 21, 2012.
