Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 174 / Thursday, September 8, 2016 / Notices
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
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://
2 See 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
the extent possible, include the names of such
exporters in their request.

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 September 2016. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of September 2016, 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
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 period of review.
This notice is not required by statute
but is published as a service to the
international trading community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 20, 2016, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) initiated a
countervailing duty investigation on
finished carbon steel flanges from
India.1 Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than
September 23, 2016.
Postponement of the Preliminary
Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires the
Department to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which the Department initiated
the investigation. However, if the
petitioner makes a timely request for an
extension in accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), section 703(c)(1)(A) of the
Act allows the Department to postpone
the preliminary determination until no
later than 130 days after the date on
which the Department initiated the
investigation.
On August 24, 2016, Petitioners 2
submitted a timely request pursuant to
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.205(e) to postpone the
preliminary determination.3 In its
request, Petitioners state: ‘‘As the
Department has not yet made a selection
of mandatory respondents, Petitioners
seek postponement of the preliminary
determination to permit the Department
sufficient time to receive, analyze, and
comment on the questionnaire
responses prior to the preliminary
determination.’’ 4
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, the Department, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, is postponing the deadline for
the preliminary determination to no
later than 124 days after the day on
which the investigation was initiated.
As a result, the Department will issue its
preliminary determination no later than
November 21, 2016. In accordance with
