Further, 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1) states that Commerce will initiate an NSR in the calendar month immediately following the anniversary month or the semiannual anniversary month if the request for review is made during the six-month period ending with the end of the anniversary month or the semiannual anniversary month, whichever is applicable. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the period of review (POR) for an NSR initiated in the month immediately following the semi-annual anniversary month will be the sixmonth period immediately preceding the semi-annual anniversary month. Yinxiangchen requested an NSR within one year from the date its merchandise first entered. The request was filed in March 2018, the semi-annual anniversary month of the Order.

Unless extended, Commerce intends to issue the preliminary results of this NSR no later than 180 days from the date of initiation and the final results of the review no later than 90 days after the date the preliminary results are issued.10 It is Commerce’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 a questionnaire to Yinxiangchen which will include a section requesting information concerning the company’s eligibility for a separate rate.

    It is Commerce'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 a questionnaire to Yinxiangchen which will include a section 
requesting information concerning the company's eligibility for a 
separate rate. We will rescind the NSR of Yinxiangchen if we determine 
that the company has not demonstrated that it is eligible for a 
separate rate.
    Because Yinxiangchen certified that it produced and exported 
subject merchandise, the sale of which is the basis for its request for 
an NSR, we will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all 
entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Yinxiangchen.
    To assist in its analysis of the bona fide nature of Yinxiangchen's 
sales, upon initiation of this NSR, Commerce will require Yinxiangchen 
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 
the NSR 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).
