merchandise from other suppliers)
which was produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then
the interested party must state
specifically, on an order-by-order basis,
which exporter(s) the request is
intended to cover.
Note that, for any party the
Department was unable to locate in
prior segments, the Department will not
accept a request for an administrative
review of that party absent new
information as to the party’s location.
Moreover, if the interested party who
files a request for review is unable to
locate the producer or exporter for
which it requested the review, the
interested party must provide an
explanation of the attempts it made to
locate the producer or exporter at the
same time it files its request for review,
in order for the Secretary to determine
if the interested party’s attempts were
reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694
(October 24, 2011) the Department
clarified its practice with respect to the
collection of final antidumping duties
on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders.2
Further, as explained in Antidumping
Proceedings: Announcement of Change
in Department Practice for Respondent
Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of
the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR
65963 (November 4, 2013), the
Department clarified its practice with
regard to the conditional review of the
non-market economy (NME) entity in
administrative reviews of antidumping
duty orders. The Department will no
longer consider the NME entity as an
exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews. Accordingly,
the NME entity will not be under review
unless the Department specifically
receives a request for, or self-initiates, a
review of the NME entity.3 In

also the Enforcement and Compliance Web
site at https://trade.gov/enforcement/.
3 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), parties
should specify that they are requesting a review of
entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to

Jkt 235001
administrative reviews of antidumping
duty orders on merchandise from NME
countries where a review of the NME
entity has not been initiated, but where
an individual exporter for which a
review was initiated does not qualify for
a separate rate, the Department will
issue a final decision indicating that the
company in question is part of the NME
entity. However, in that situation,
because no review of the NME entity
was conducted, the NME entity’s entries
were not subject to the review and the
rate for the NME entity is not subject to
change as a result of that review
(although the rate for the individual
exporter may change as a function of the
finding that the exporter is part of the
NME entity).
Following initiation of an
antidumping administrative review
when there is no review requested of the
NME entity, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all
exporters not named in the initiation
notice, including those that were
suspended at the NME entity rate.
All requests must be filed
electronically in Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’)
on Enforcement and Compliance’s
ACCESS Web site at https://
access.trade.gov. 4 Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on the petitioner and each exporter or
producer specified in the request.
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation
of Administrative Review of
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation’’ for requests received by
the last day of February 2015. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of February 2015, a request for
review of entries covered by an order,
finding, or suspended investigation
listed in this notice and for the period
identified above, the Department will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping or
countervailing duties on those entries at
a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or
bond for) estimated antidumping or
countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment
the extent possible, include the names of such
exporters in their request.
