Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 2015 / Notices
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), and after reviewing the
information on the record, the
Department finds that the requests from
Bolong and Changxing meet the
threshold requirements for initiation of
NSRs for shipments of TRBs from the
PRC produced and exported by each
company.7 If the information supplied
by Bolong or Changxing cannot be
verified using CBP import data, or is
otherwise found to be incorrect or
insufficient during the course of this
proceeding, the Department may rescind
the review for that company or apply
facts available pursuant to section 776
of the Act, depending on the facts on
record.
The Department intends to issue the
preliminary results of these NSRs no
later than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and the final results within
90 days after the date on which the
preliminary results are issued, pursuant
to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
It is the Department’s usual practice,
in cases involving non-market economy
countries, to require that a company
seeking to establish eligibility for an
antidumping duty rate separate from the
country-wide rate provide evidence of
de jure and de facto absence of
government control over the company’s
export activities. Accordingly, we will
issue questionnaires to Bolong and
Changxing, which will include a section
requesting information concerning their
eligibility for separate rates. The reviews
will proceed if the responses provide
sufficient indication that Bolong and
Changxing are not subject to either de
jure or de facto government control with
respect to their exports of subject
merchandise.
We will instruct CBP to allow, at the
option of the importer, the posting, until
the completion of these reviews, of a
bond or security in lieu of a cash
deposit for each entry of the subject
DOC Case No.
merchandise from Bolong or Changxing
in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e). Because each of these
companies certified that it both
produced and exported the subject
merchandise, the sale of which is the
basis of the NSR request, we will
instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond
only for subject merchandise which
each new shipper applicant both
produced and exported.
To assist in its analysis of the bona
fides of Bolong’s and Changxing’s sales,
upon initiation of these NSRs, the
Department will require each company
to submit on an ongoing basis complete
transaction information concerning any
sales of subject merchandise to the
United States that were made
subsequent to the POR.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in these NSRs
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 351.306. This
initiation and notice are published in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: July 28, 2015.

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://

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

Revised Factual Information
Requirements
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

Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures;

3 See Certification of Factual Information 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. 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.
Revised Extension of Time Limits
Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the
Department modified its regulation at 19
CFR 351.302(c) 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
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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. Review the final rule,
available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/
pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/201322853.htm, prior to submitting factual
information in these segments.
Letters of Appearance and
Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the
Department will maintain and make
available a public service list for these
proceedings. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these five-year
reviews must file letters of appearance
as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To
facilitate the timely preparation of the
public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested
parties to a proceeding submit an entry
of appearance within 10 days of the
publication of the Notice of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews
can be very short, we urge interested
parties who want access to proprietary
information under administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) to file an APO
application immediately following
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of initiation. 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. Consult the Department’s
regulations for information regarding
the Department’s conduct of Sunset
Reviews. 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.

Revised Factual Information Requirements
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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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.
Revised Extension of Time Limits Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the Department modified its regulation at 19
CFR 351.302(c) 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. 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.
Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the Department will maintain and
make available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties
wishing to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file
letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To facilitate
the timely preparation of the public service list, it is requested that
those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit
an entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice
of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge
interested parties who want access to proprietary information under
administrative protective order (``APO'') to file an APO application
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this
notice of initiation. 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
[[Page 45947]]
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. Consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews. 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: July 27, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
