Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2013 / Notices
TKELleY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in AD and CVD
proceedings.30 The modification
clarifies that parties may request an
extension of time limits before a time
limit established under Part 351 expires,
or as otherwise specified by the
Secretary. In general, an extension
request will be considered untimely if it
is filed after the time limit established
under Part 351 expires. For submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request
will be considered untimely if it is filed
after 10:00 a.m. on the due date.
Examples include, but are not limited
to: (1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual
information to value factors under
section 19 CFR 351.408(c), or to
measure the adequacy of remuneration
under section 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2),
filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)
and rebuttal, clarification and correction
filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments
concerning the selection of a surrogate
country and surrogate values and
rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP
data; and (5) quantity and value
questionnaires. Under certain
circumstances, the Department may
elect to specify a different time limit by
which extension requests will be
considered untimely for submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously. In such a case, the
Department will inform parties in the
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. This
modification also requires that an
extension request must be made in a
separate, stand-alone submission, and
clarifies the circumstances under which
the Department will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time
limits. These modifications are effective
for all segments initiated on or after
October 21, 2013. Review Extension of
Time Limits; Final Rule, available at
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-201309-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to
submitting factual information in this
segment.
Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.31
Parties are hereby reminded that revised
certification requirements are in effect
for company/government officials, as
30 See Extension of Time Limits; Final Rule, 78 FR
57790 (September 20, 2013).

well as their representatives, in all
segments of any AD or CVD proceedings
initiated on or after March 14, 2011.32
The formats for the revised certifications
are provided at the end of the Interim
Final Rule. Foreign governments and
their officials may continue to submit
certifications in either the format that
was in use prior to the effective date of
the Interim Final Rule, or in the format
provided in the Interim Final Rule.33
The Department intends to reject factual
information submissions if the
submitting party does not comply with
the revised certification requirements.
Notification to Interested Parties
Interested parties must submit
applications for disclosure under APO
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). Parties wishing to participate
in either investigation should ensure
that they meet the requirements of these
procedures (e.g., the filing of letters of

NOES is subject to these investigations
whether it is fully processed (fully annealed
to develop final magnetic properties) or semiprocessed (finished to final thickness and
physical form but not fully annealed to
develop final magnetic properties); whether
or not it is coated (e.g., with enamel, varnish,
natural oxide surface, chemically treated or
phosphate surface, or other non-metallic
materials). Fully processed NOES is typically
made to the requirements of ASTM
specification A 677, Japanese Industrial
Standards (JIS) specification C 2552, and/or
International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) specification 60404–8–4. Semiprocessed NOES is typically made to the
requirements of ASTM specification A 683.
However, the scope of these investigations is
not limited to merchandise meeting the
specifications noted above.
NOES is sometimes referred to as coldrolled non-oriented electrical steel (CRNO),
non-grain oriented (NGO), non-oriented
(NO), or cold-rolled non-grain oriented
(CRNGO). These terms are interchangeable.
The subject merchandise is provided for in
subheadings 7225.19.0000, 7226.19.1000,
and 7226.19.9000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Subject merchandise may also be entered
under subheadings 7225.50.8085,
7225.99.0090, 7226.92.5000, 7226.92.7050,
7226.92.8050, 7226.99.0180 of the HTSUS.
Although HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.

Appendix I
Scope of the Investigations
The merchandise subject to these
investigations consists of non-oriented
electrical steel (NOES), which includes coldrolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel products,
whether or not in coils, regardless of width,
having an actual thickness of 0.20 mm or
more, in which the core loss is substantially
equal in any direction of magnetization in the
plane of the material. The term ‘‘substantially
equal’’ in the prior sentence means that the
cross grain direction of core loss is no more
than 1.5 times the straight grain direction
(i.e., the rolling direction) of core loss. NOES
has a magnetic permeability that does not
exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a field of
800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oesteds) along
(i.e., parallel to) the rolling direction of the
sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES contains by
weight at least 1.25 percent of silicon but less
than 3.5 percent of silicon, not more than
