December 10, 2001.1 On December 23,
2016, the Department received a NSR
request from Jiangsu Runchen.2 Jiangsu
Runchen certified that it is the exporter
and producer of the honey upon which
the request for a NSR is based.3
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii),
Jiangsu Runchen certified that it did not
export honey for sale to the United
States during the period of investigation
(‘‘POI’’).4 Moreover, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Jiangsu Runchen
certified that, since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated
with any PRC exporter or producer who
exported subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI, including
those respondents not individually
examined during the investigation.5
Further, as required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), it certified that its
export activities were not controlled by
the central government of the PRC.6
Jiangsu Runchen also certified it had no
shipments of subject merchandise
subsequent to the POR.7
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Jiangsu Runchen
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) The date on which it
first shipped subject merchandise for
export to the United States; (2) the
volume of its first shipment and
subsequent shipments; and (3) the date
of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States.8
The Department queried the database
of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) in an attempt to confirm that
the shipment reported by Jiangsu
Runchen had entered the United States
for consumption and that liquidation
had been properly suspended for
antidumping duties. The information
which the Department examined was
consistent with that provided by Jiangsu
Runchen in its request.9

Period of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(c), an
exporter or producer may request a NSR
within one year of the date on which its
subject merchandise was first entered.
Moreover, 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1) states
that if the request for the review is made
during the six-month period ending
with the end of the anniversary month,
the Secretary will initiate a NSR in the
calendar month immediately following
the anniversary month. Further, 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A) states that if the NSR
was initiated in the month immediately
following the anniversary month, the
POR will be the 12-month period
immediately preceding the anniversary
month. Jiangsu Runchen made the
request for a NSR that included all
documents and information required by
the statute and regulations, within one
year of the date on which its honey first
entered. Its request was filed in
December, which is the anniversary
month of the Order. Therefore, the POR
is December 1, 2015, through November
30, 2016.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b) and based on the
information on the record, the
Department finds that Jiangsu
Runchen’s request meets the threshold
requirements for initiation of a NSR for
shipments of honey from the PRC
produced and exported by Jiangsu
Runchen. Accordingly, the Department
is initiating a NSR of Jiangsu Runchen.10
Absent a determination that the new
shipper review is extraordinarily
complicated, the Department intends to
issue the preliminary results of this NSR
within 180 days from the date of
initiation and the final results within 90
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are issued.11 If the
information supplied by Jiangsu
Runchen is found to be incorrect or
insufficient during the course of this
proceeding, the Department may rescind
the review for Jiangsu Runchen or apply
facts available pursuant to section 776
of the Act, depending on the facts on the
record.
It is the Department’s usual practice,
in cases involving non-market
economies (‘‘NMEs’’), to require that a
company seeking to establish eligibility
for an antidumping duty rate separate
from the country-wide rate (i.e., a
separate rate) provide evidence of de

jure and de facto absence of government
control over the company’s export
activities.12 Accordingly, the
Department will issue questionnaires to
Jiangsu Runchen that will include a
section requesting information
concerning its eligibility for a separate
rate. The NSR will proceed if the
responses provide sufficient indication
that Jiangsu Runchen is not subject to
either de jure or de facto government
control with respect to its exports of
honey from the PRC.
On February 24, 2016, the President
signed into law the ‘‘Trade Facilitation
and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015,’’
Public Law 114–125, which made
several amendments to section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act. We will conduct
this new shipper review in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as
amended by the Trade Facilitation and
Trade Enforcement Act of 2015.13
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this NSR
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act, 19 CFR 351.214, and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i).

Negative Preliminary Determination of
Critical Circumstances
On November 15, 2016, Eastman
Chemical Company (‘‘Petitioner’’) filed
a timely critical circumstances
allegation, pursuant to section 733(e)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1),
alleging that critical circumstances exist
with respect to imports of DOTP.5 In
accordance with 19 CFR
351.206(c)(2)(i), when a critical
circumstances allegation is submitted
more than 20 days before the scheduled
date of the preliminary determination,
the Department must issue a
preliminary finding whether there is a
reasonable basis to believe or suspect
that critical circumstances exist no later
than the date of the preliminary
determination. Section 733(e)(1) of the
Act provides that the Department will
preliminarily determine that critical
circumstances exist in a LTFV
investigation if there is a reasonable
basis to believe or suspect that: (A)(i)
There is a history of dumping and
material injury by reason of dumped
imports in the United States or
elsewhere of the subject merchandise, or
(2) the person by whom, or for whose
account, the merchandise was imported
knew or should have known that the
exporter was selling the subject
merchandise at less than its fair value
and that there was likely to be material
injury by reason of such sales; and (B)
there have been massive imports of the
subject merchandise over a relatively
short period. We have conducted an
analysis of critical circumstances in
accordance with section 733(e) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.206, and
preliminarily determine that critical
circumstances do not exist with regard
to imports of DOTP from Korea. For a
full description of this issue, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum at
the section, ‘‘Preliminary Determination
of Critical Circumstances.’’

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.\6\

from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide

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

regulations for information regarding the Department's conduct of
Sunset Reviews. Consult the Department's regulations at 19 CFR part 351
