Gap Period Liquidation
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment
of antidumping or countervailing duties
on entries of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption during the relevant
provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of
the order, if such a gap period is
applicable to the POR.
Administrative Protective Orders and
Letters of Appearance
Interested parties must submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On
January 22, 2008, the Department
published Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Documents Submission Procedures;
APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January
22, 2008). Those procedures apply to
administrative reviews included in this
notice of initiation. Parties wishing to
participate in any of these
administrative reviews should ensure
that they meet the requirements of these
procedures (e.g., the filing of separate
letters of appearance as discussed at 19
CFR 351.103(d)).

Revised Factual Information
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
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Jan 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
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.
Any party submitting factual
information in an antidumping duty or
countervailing duty proceeding must
certify to the accuracy and completeness
of that information.5 Parties are hereby
reminded that revised certification
requirements are in effect for company/
government officials as well as their
representatives. All segments of any
antidumping duty or countervailing
duty proceedings initiated on or after
August 16, 2013, should use the formats
for the revised certifications provided at
the end of the Final Rule.6 The
Department intends to reject factual
submissions in any proceeding
segments if the submitting party does
not comply with applicable revised
certification requirements.
Revised Extension of Time Limits
Regulation
On September 20, 2013, the
Department modified its regulation
concerning the extension of time limits
for submissions in antidumping and
countervailing duty proceedings: Final
Rule, 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 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. Examples include, but are
not limited to: (1) Case and rebuttal
briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309;
(2) factual information to value factors
under 19 CFR 351.408(c), or to measure
the adequacy of remuneration under 19
CFR 351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19
5 See
section 782(b) of the Act.

comments concerning the selection of a
surrogate country and surrogate values
and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
data; and (5) quantity and value
questionnaires. 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 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published the
antidumping duty order on potassium
permanganate from the PRC on January
31, 1984.2 On September 1, 2015, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of the fourth sunset review of
the antidumping duty order on
potassium permanganate from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).3
On September 9, 2015, Carus
Corporation (‘‘Carus’’), a U.S. producer
of potassium permanganate, claiming
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, submitted its notice
of intent to participate in this sunset
review.4 On September 29, 2015, Carus
submitted its Substantive Response
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The
Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent interested party. As a result,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
the Department conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on potassium
permanganate from the PRC.
