Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 22 / Monday, February 3, 2014 / Notices
respectively.1 On September 3, 2013,
the Department published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset reviews of
the AD orders on EMD from Australia
and the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act.2 On September 12, 2013,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1), the
Department received timely and
complete notices of intent to participate
in the sunset reviews for both orders
from Erachem Comilog, Inc. and Tronox
LLC (collectively ‘‘Domestic
Producers’’). On October 2, 2013,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3),
Domestic Producers filed a timely and
adequate substantive response for both
orders. The Department did not receive
substantive responses from any
respondent interested party. As a result,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
the Department conducted expedited
(120-day) sunset reviews of the AD
orders on EMD from Australia and the
PRC.
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department has exercised its discretion
to toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from
October 1, through October 16, 2013.3
Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days. The revised deadline for the
final results of this sunset review is now
January 21, 2014.

As a courtesy, we are making
information related to sunset
proceedings, including copies of the
pertinent statute and Department’s
regulations, the Department’s schedule
for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past
revocations and continuations, and
current service lists, available to the
public on the Department’s Web site at
the following address: ‘‘https://
enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/.’’ All
submissions in these Sunset Reviews
must be filed in accordance with the
Department’s regulations regarding
format, translation, and service of
documents. These rules, including
electronic filing requirements via
Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(‘‘IA ACCESS’’), can be found at 19 CFR
351.303.1
This notice serves as a reminder that
any party submitting factual information
in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify
to the accuracy and completeness of that
information.2 Parties are hereby
reminded that revised certification
requirements are in effect for company/
government officials as well as their
representatives in all AD/CVD
investigations or proceedings initiated

not comply with the revised
certification requirements.
On April 10, 2013, the Department
published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for
Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10,
2013), which modified two regulations
related to antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings: the
definition of factual information (19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), and the time limits
for the submission of factual
information (19 CFR 351.301). The final
rule identifies five categories of factual
information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21),
which are summarized as follows: (i)
Evidence submitted in response to
questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted
in support of allegations; (iii) publicly
available information to value factors
under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure
the adequacy of remuneration under 19
CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed
on the record by the Department; and (v)
evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). The final rule
requires any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under
which subsection of 19 CFR
351.102(b)(21) the information is being
submitted and, if the information is
submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information already on the
record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on
the record that the factual information
seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301
so that, rather than providing general
time limits, there are specific time limits
based on the type of factual information
being submitted. These modifications
are effective for all segments initiated on
or after May 10, 2013. Please review the
final rule, available at https://

segment. To the extent that other
regulations govern the submission of
factual information in a segment (such
as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits
will continue to be applied.
On September 20, 2013, the
Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings:
Extension of Time Limits, 78 FR 57790
(September 20, 2013). The modification
clarifies that parties may request an
extension of time limits before a time
limit established under part 351 of the
Department’s regulations 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. 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. Please review the
final rule, available at https://

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the
Department will maintain and make
available a service list for these
proceedings. To facilitate the timely
preparation of the service list(s), it is
requested that those seeking recognition
as interested parties to a proceeding
contact the Department in writing
within 10 days of the publication of the
Notice of Initiation.
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, as
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.4
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. Please
consult the Department’s regulations at
19 CFR part 351 for definitions of terms
and for other general information
concerning antidumping and

On April 10, 2013, the Department published Definition of Factual
Information and Time Limits for Submission of Factual Information:
Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 2013), which modified two
regulations related to antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings:
the definition of factual information (19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), and the
time limits for the submission of factual information (19 CFR 351.301).
The final rule identifies five categories of factual information in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows: (i) Evidence
submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted in
support of allegations; (iii) publicly available information to value
factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the adequacy of
remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on the
record by the Department; and (v) evidence other than factual
information described in (i)-(iv). The final rule requires any party,
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted and, if the
information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information already on the record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on the record that the factual
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The final rule also
modified 19 CFR 351.301 so that, rather than providing general time
limits, there are specific time limits based on the type of factual
information being submitted. These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after May 10, 2013. Please review the final
rule, available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in this segment. To
the extent that other regulations govern the submission of factual
information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits
will continue to be applied.
On September 20, 2013, the Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits for submissions in antidumping
and countervailing duty proceedings: Extension of Time Limits, 78 FR
57790 (September 20, 2013). The modification clarifies that parties may
request an extension of time limits before a time limit established
under part 351 of the Department's regulations 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. 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 untimely-filed requests for the
extension of time limits. These modifications are effective for all
segments initiated on or after October 21, 2013. Please review the
final rule, available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to

submitting factual information in these segments.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a service list for these proceedings. To facilitate the
timely preparation of the service list(s), it is requested that those
seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding contact the
Department in writing within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
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, as 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.\4\

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. 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.
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
