Based on the notice of intent to

interested party, and the lack of
response from any respondent
interested party, the Department
conducted expedited (120-day) sunset
reviews of these AD orders, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result

would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping at the levels
indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset

the AD orders on EMD from Australia
and the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c)

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,

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.
