Commencement of Section 129
Proceedings
In accordance with Section 129(b)(1)
of the URAA, the Department consulted
with the Office of the United States
Trade Representative, and on April 17,
2015, pursuant to those consultations,
opened segments in the 15 CVD
investigations at issue to commence
administrative actions to comply with
the DSB’s recommendations and
rulings. Each segment will consist of a
separate administrative record with its
own administrative protective order. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(b),
interested parties may request access to
business proprietary information in the
segment of the proceeding to which they
are participating. For each of these
section 129 segments, we may request
additional information and we may
conduct verification of such
information. Consistent with Section
129(d) of the URAA, the Department
will make a preliminary determination
in each of the Section 129 segments, the
Department will provide interested
parties with an opportunity to provide
written comments on those preliminary
determinations, and the Department
may hold a hearing.
Filing Requirements & Letter of
Appearance
In accordance with the Department’s
regulations, all submissions to the
Department must be filed electronically
using Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). An electronically-filed

underlying investigation(s) and any
parties otherwise notified of the
Department’s commencement of these
Section 129 proceedings, must file a
letter of appearance. The letter of
appearance must be filed separately
from any other document (with the
exception of an application for
administrative protective order (APO)
access; parties applying for and granted
APO access would automatically be on
the public service list). Parties wishing
to enter an appearance or submit
information with regard to these
proceedings must upload their filing(s)
to each relevant case number.
Additionally, for each submission made
in ACCESS, parties must select ‘‘S 129–
SEC 129’’ as the segment and enter

Factual information is defined in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21) as: (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 regulation
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. Time
limits for the submission of factual
information are addressed in 19 CFR
351.301, which provides specific time
limits based on the type of factual
information being submitted. Parties
should review the regulations prior to
submitting factual information in these
segments.
Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before the expiration of a
time limit established under Part 351, or
as otherwise specified by the Secretary.

is filed after 10:00 a.m. on the due date.
Under certain circumstances, we 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, we 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. An extension request
must be made in a separate, stand-alone
submission; under limited
circumstances we will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time
limits. Review Extension of Time Limits;

Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.7
Parties are hereby reminded that revised
certification requirements are in effect
for company/government officials, as
well as their representatives.

Commencement of Section 129 Proceedings
In accordance with Section 129(b)(1) of the URAA, the Department
consulted with the Office of the United States Trade Representative,
and on April 17, 2015, pursuant to those consultations, opened segments
in the 15 CVD investigations at issue to commence administrative
actions to comply with the DSB's recommendations and rulings. Each
segment will consist of a separate administrative record with its own
administrative protective order. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(b),
interested parties may request access to business proprietary
information in the segment of the proceeding to which they are
participating. For each of these section 129 segments, we may request
additional information and we may conduct verification of such
information. Consistent with Section 129(d) of the URAA, the Department
will make a preliminary determination in each of the Section 129
segments, the Department will provide interested parties with an
opportunity to provide written comments on those preliminary
determinations, and the Department may hold a hearing.
Filing Requirements & Letter of Appearance
In accordance with the Department's regulations, all submissions to
the Department must be filed electronically using Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). An electronically-filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety by the time and date it is due.
Documents excepted from the electronic submission requirements must be
filed manually (i.e., in paper form) with Enforcement and Compliance's
APO/Dockets Unit, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, and stamped with the
date and time of receipt by the applicable deadlines.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See generally 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing
requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d)(l), to be included on the public
service list for the Section 129 determination for the aforementioned
proceedings, all interested parties, including parties that were part
of the public service list in the underlying investigation(s) and any
parties otherwise notified of the Department's commencement of these
Section 129 proceedings, must file a letter of appearance. The letter
of appearance must be filed separately from any other document (with
the exception of an application for administrative protective order
(APO) access; parties applying for and granted APO access would
automatically be on the public service list). Parties wishing to enter
an appearance or submit information with regard to these proceedings
must upload their filing(s) to each relevant case number. Additionally,
for each submission made in ACCESS, parties must select ``S 129-SEC
129'' as the segment and enter ``DS437'' in the segment specific
information field.
Submission of Factual Information
Factual information is defined in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) as: (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 regulation 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. Time limits for the
submission of factual information are addressed in 19 CFR 351.301,
which provides specific time limits based on the type of factual
information being submitted. Parties should review the regulations
prior to submitting factual information in these segments.
Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of time limits before the
expiration of a time limit established under Part 351, or as otherwise
specified by the Secretary. In general, an extension request will be
considered untimely if it is filed after the expiration of the time
limit established under Part 351 expires. For submissions that 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, we 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, we 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. An extension request
must be made in a separate, stand-alone submission; under limited
circumstances we will grant untimely-filed requests for the extension
of time limits. Review Extension of Time Limits; Final Rule, 78 FR
57790 (September 20, 2013), available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm prior to submitting factual
information in these segments.
Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual information in an AD or CVD proceeding
must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information.\7\
Parties are hereby reminded that revised certification requirements are
in effect for company/government officials, as well as their
representatives. Investigations initiated on the basis of petitions
filed on or after August 16, 2013, and other segments of any AD or CVD
proceedings initiated on or after August 16, 2013, should use the
formats for the revised certifications provided at the end of the Final
Rule.\8\ The Department intends to reject factual submissions if the
submitting party does not comply with the applicable revised
certification requirements.
