Filing Information
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
on or after August 16, 2013.3 The
formats for the revised certifications are
provided at the end of the Final Rule.
The Department intends to reject factual
submissions if the submitting party does
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

Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures;

3 See Certification of Factual Information To
Import Administration During Antidumping and

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
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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://
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

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Travel and Tourism Trade Mission to
Russia September 15—19, 2014
International Trade
Administration, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, including the National
Travel and Tourism Office (https://
travel.trade.gov/), with support from
Brand USA (https://
www.thebrandusa.com/) is organizing
an Executive-led trade mission to
Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia with
an optional stop in Yekaterinburg,
Russia, September 15–19, 2014. The
purpose of this mission is to help U.S.
firms in the travel and tourism industry
find business partners and sell services
in Russia. The targeted sector for
participation in this mission is travel
and tourism, including U.S.-based travel
and tourism suppliers, destination
marketing organizations (i.e.,
convention and visitors bureaus), travel
promotion organizations and other
travel and tourism entities promoting
and selling travel to the United States
including trade associations.
The mission will include stops in
Moscow and St. Petersburg, where
participants will receive market
briefings and participate in customized
meetings with key officials and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
prospective partners. There will be an
optional stop in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The mission supports President
Obama’s National Export Initiative (NEI)
to strengthen the U.S. economy and U.S.
competitiveness through meaningful job
creation and furthers the National
Travel and Tourism Strategy. The
mission will help U.S. companies
already doing business in Russia to
increase their footprint and deepen their
business interests.
The mission will help participating
firms and associations/organizations
gain market insights, make industry
contacts, solidify business strategies,
and advance specific projects, with the
goal of increasing U.S. exports of
services to Russia. The mission will
include one-on-one business
appointments with pre-screened
potential buyers, agents, distributors
and joint venture partners; meetings
with state and local government officials
and industry leaders; and networking
events. Participating in an official U.S.
industry delegation, rather than
traveling to Russia on their own, will
enhance the companies’ ability to secure
meetings in Russia.
The mission will be supported by the
Brand USA (https://
www.thebrandusa.com/). The mission of
Brand USA is to encourage increased
international visitation to the United
States and to grow America’s share of
the global travel and tourism market. In
doing so, Brand USA aims to bring
millions of new international visitors
who will spend billions of dollars to the
United States, creating tens of
thousands of new American jobs.
All travel and tourism companies,
including U.S.-based travel and tourism
suppliers, destination marketing
organizations (i.e., convention and
visitors bureaus), travel promotion
organizations and other travel and
tourism entities promoting and selling
travel to the United States including
trade associations are encouraged to
apply.
Commercial Setting
In 2012, about 260,000 visitors from
Russia traveled to the United States. If
current trends continue, more than
300,000 visitors from Russia will have
traveled to the U.S. in 2013,
representing an increase of 30%. Since
2010, the number of visitors from Russia
to the United States has increased by an
average of more than 20% each year.
The forecast is for the number of
Russians visitors to the United States to
reach nearly 500,000 per year by 2018.
With a population of over 140
million, Russia is the ninth most
populous country in the world and is a
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
huge market for outbound travel.
Sustained economic growth, low
unemployment and rising personal
income levels mean that more Russians
are able to travel more often and to longhaul destinations, such as the United
States. According to the United Nation’s
World Tourism Organization, Russians
are among the top tourism spenders in
the world, ranking number five and
spending an estimated $42 billion in
2012. The vast majority of Russians visit
the United States for holidays and to see
family and friends. Russians enjoy
shopping, dining out, sightseeing in
cities, experiencing amusement and
theme parks, and visiting historical
places. It is noteworthy that nearly 40%
of Russians who visited the United
States in 2012 were first-time visitors.
The average income of Russians visiting
the United States is approximately
$60,000, which means they have
disposable income to spend on
shopping, dining and leisure activities.
Also, the continued strength of the Euro
and British Pound against the U.S.
dollar has helped make travel to the
United States more attractive and
affordable for Russian travelers.
For Russians, outbound travel is both
a vital part of doing business and a
trendy form of leisure holidays.
Russians experience a very cold winter
each year, and they are always searching
for sunny and dry destinations for their
holiday adventure. A significant
development is that more airlines, both
U.S. and international, have launched
non-stop service connecting Moscow
with U.S. destinations. Delta Airlines,
Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Transaero,
and Singapore Airlines all offer direct
flights to U.S. cities. Aeroflot flies to
New York City, Washington, DC, and
Los Angeles; Delta flies to New York;
Transaero to New York and Miami, and
Singapore Airlines flies to Houston.
Many more international airlines
transport Russian travelers to the U.S.
via hubs such as Frankfurt, Copenhagen,
Amsterdam, Madrid, London, and
others.
Overall growth in demand for the
United States as a tourism destination
has also been driven by an increase in
disposable income in a discrete segment
of Russian society. Those travelers have
generally already traveled to Europe and
Asia, and the United States is now an
affordable destination. A supporting
factor behind the steady growth in the
number of Russian tourism to the
United States is the publicity
surrounding the improvements in the
visa application process that has taken
place in recent years. The U.S. Embassy
has made great progress in improving
the process in the face of a rapidly

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\

\4\ 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
[[Page 11764]]
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
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
Dated: February 24, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
