Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of reviews are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv),
751(a)(3), 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h), 351.214 and 351.221(b)(4).

advisory committee. The IAC shall
advise the Secretary on U.S. government
policies and programs that affect FDI;
identify and recommend programs and
policies to help the United States attract
and retain FDI; and recommend ways to
support the position of the United States
as the world’s preeminent destination
for FDI. The IAC shall act as a liaison
among the stakeholders represented by
the membership and shall provide a
forum for the stakeholders on current
and emerging issues regarding FDI. The
IAC shall report to the Secretary on its
activities and recommendations
regarding FDI. In creating its reports, the
IAC should survey and evaluate the
investment and investment-facilitating
activities of stakeholders, should
identify and examine specific problems
facing potential foreign investors, and
should examine the needs of
stakeholders to inform the IAC’s efforts.
The IAC should recommend specific
solutions to the problems and needs that
it identifies.
The IAC shall consist of no more than
twenty members appointed by the
Secretary. Members shall represent
companies and organizations investing,
seeking to invest, seeking foreign
investors, or facilitating investment
across many sectors, including but not
limited to:
U.S.-incorporated companies that are
majority-owned by foreign companies or
by a foreign individual or individuals,
or that generate significant foreign direct
investment (e.g., through their supply
chains);
U.S. companies or entities whose
business includes FDI-related activities
or the facilitation of FDI; and
Economic development organizations
and other U.S. governmental and nongovernmental organizations and
associations whose missions or
activities include the promotion or
facilitation of FDI.
Members shall be selected based on
their ability to carry out the objectives
of the IAC, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce
guidelines, in a manner that ensures
that the IAC is balanced in terms of
points of view, demographics, industry
subsector, geography of the source and
the destination of the FDI, and company
size. Members shall represent a broad
range of products and services and shall
be drawn from large, medium, and small
enterprises, private-sector organizations
involved in investment, and other
investment-related entities including
non-governmental organizations,
associations, and economic
development organizations.
Priority may be given to executives

Chairman, President, or comparable
level of responsibility).
Members shall serve in a
representative capacity, representing the
views and interests of their sponsoring
entity and those of their particular
sector (if applicable). Members are not
special government employees and will
receive no compensation for their
participation in IAC activities. Members
will not be reimbursed for travel
expenses related to IAC activities.
Appointments to the IAC shall be made
without regard to political affiliation.
Because the IAC will advise the
Secretary on U.S. international
competitiveness in attracting and
retaining FDI, each member must be a
U.S. national.
Each member shall be appointed for a
term of two years and will serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary
may at his/her discretion reappoint any
member to an additional term or terms,
provided that the member proves to
work effectively on the IAC and that
his/her knowledge and advice is still
needed.
The Secretary shall designate a Chair
and Vice Chair from among the
members.
The IAC will meet a minimum of two
times a year with, to the extent
practical, additional meetings called at
the discretion of the Secretary or his/her
designee. Meetings will be held in
Washington, DC or elsewhere in the
United States, or by teleconference, as
feasible. Members are expected to attend
a majority of IAC meetings.
To be considered for membership,
