Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2018 / Notices
(6) Require advance notification and
annual reporting of all imports and
exports of ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals to, or
from, other States Parties to the
Convention (15 CFR 712.6, 742.18(a)(1)
and 745.1); and
(7) Prohibit the export of ‘‘Schedule
1’’ chemicals to States not Party to the
Convention (15 CFR 742.18(a)(1) and
(b)(1)(ii)).
For purposes of the CWCR (see 15
CFR 710.1), ‘‘production of a Schedule
1 chemical’’ means the formation of
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals through
chemical synthesis, as well as
processing to extract and isolate
‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals produced by a
biochemical or biologically mediated
reaction. Such production is
understood, for CWCR declaration
purposes, to include intermediates, byproducts, or waste products that are
produced and consumed within a
defined chemical manufacturing
sequence, where such intermediates, byproducts, or waste products are
chemically stable and therefore exist for
a sufficient time to make isolation from
the manufacturing stream possible, but
where, under normal or design
operating conditions, isolation does not
occur.

Request for Comments
In order to assist in determining
whether the legitimate commercial
activities and interests of chemical,
biotechnology, and pharmaceutical
firms in the United States are
significantly harmed by the limitations
of the Convention on access to, and
production of, ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals
as described in this notice, BIS is
seeking public comments on any effects
that implementation of the CWC,
through the Chemical Weapons
Convention Implementation Act and the
CWCR, has had on commercial activities
involving ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals
during calendar year 2018. To allow BIS
to properly evaluate the significance of
any harm to commercial activities
involving ‘‘Schedule 1’’ chemicals,
public comments submitted in response
to this notice of inquiry should include
both a quantitative and qualitative
assessment of the impact of the CWC on
such activities.
Submission of Comments
All comments must be submitted to
one of the addresses indicated in this
notice. The Department requires that all
comments be submitted in written form.
BIS will consider all comments received
on or before January 10, 2019. All
comments (including any personally
identifying information or information
for which a claim of confidentially is

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) has received requests to
conduct administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with October
anniversary dates. In accordance with
Commerce’s regulations, we are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
Commerce has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with October
anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of
various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by
Commerce discussed below refer to the
number of calendar days from the
applicable starting time.
Notice of No Sales
If a producer or exporter named in
this notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the period of
review (POR), it must notify Commerce
within 30 days of publication of this
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

notice in the Federal Register. All
submissions must be filed electronically
at https://access.trade.gov in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303.1 Such
submissions are subject to verification
in accordance with section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Further, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy must be served
on every party on Commerce’s service
list.
Respondent Selection
In the event Commerce limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews
initiated pursuant to requests made for
the orders identified below, Commerce
intends to select respondents based on
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the
period of review. We intend to place the
CBP data on the record within five days
of publication of the initiation notice
and to make our decision regarding
respondent selection within 30 days of
publication of the initiation Federal
Register notice. Comments regarding the
CBP data and respondent selection
should be submitted seven days after
the placement of the CBP data on the
record of this review. Parties wishing to
submit rebuttal comments should
submit those comments five days after
the deadline for the initial comments.
In the event Commerce decides it is
necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, Commerce has found that
determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (e.g., treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating
antidumping duty rates) require a
substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often
require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will
not conduct collapsing analyses at the
respondent selection phase of this
review and will not collapse companies
at the respondent selection phase unless
there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a
previous segment of this antidumping
proceeding (e.g., investigation,
administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances
review). For any company subject to this
review, if Commerce determined, or
continued to treat, that company as
collapsed with others, Commerce will

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2018 / Notices
assume that such companies continue to
operate in the same manner and will
collapse them for respondent selection
purposes. Otherwise, Commerce will
not collapse companies for purposes of
respondent selection. Parties are
requested to (a) identify which
companies subject to review previously
were collapsed, and (b) provide a
citation to the proceeding in which they
were collapsed. Further, if companies
are requested to complete the Quantity
and Value (Q&V) Questionnaire for
purposes of respondent selection, in
general each company must report
volume and value data separately for
itself. Parties should not include data
for any other party, even if they believe
they should be treated as a single entity
with that other party. If a company was
collapsed with another company or
companies in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
where Commerce considered collapsing
that entity, complete Q&V data for that
collapsed entity must be submitted.
Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a
party that has requested a review may
withdraw that request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that Commerce may
extend this time if it is reasonable to do
so. Determinations by Commerce to
extend the 90-day deadline will be
made on a case-by-case basis.

Deadline for Particular Market
Situation Allegation
Section 504 of the Trade Preferences
Extension Act of 2015 amended the Act
by adding the concept of particular
market situation (PMS) for purposes of
constructed value under section 773(e)
of the Act.2 Section 773(e) of the Act
states that ‘‘if a particular market
situation exists such that the cost of
materials and fabrication or other
processing of any kind does not
accurately reflect the cost of production
in the ordinary course of trade, the
administering authority may use
another calculation methodology under
this subtitle or any other calculation
methodology.’’ When an interested
party submits a PMS allegation pursuant
to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce
will respond to such a submission
consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(v). If
Commerce finds that a PMS exists under
section 773(e) of the Act, then it will

modify its dumping calculations
appropriately.
Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor
19 CFR 351.301(c)(v) set a deadline for
the submission of PMS allegations and
supporting factual information.
However, in order to administer section
773(e) of the Act, Commerce must
receive PMS allegations and supporting
factual information with enough time to
consider the submission. Thus, should
an interested party wish to submit a
PMS allegation and supporting new
factual information pursuant to section
773(e) of the Act, it must do so no later
than 20 days after submission of initial
responses to section D of the
questionnaire.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market
economy (NME) countries, Commerce
begins with a rebuttable presumption
that all companies within the country
are subject to government control and,
thus, should be assigned a single
antidumping duty deposit rate. It is
Commerce’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, Commerce analyzes each entity
exporting the subject merchandise. In
accordance with the separate rates
criteria, Commerce assigns separate
rates to companies in NME cases only
if respondents can demonstrate the
absence of both de jure and de facto
government control over export
activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate rate
eligibility, Commerce requires entities
for whom a review was requested, that
were assigned a separate rate in the
most recent segment of this proceeding
in which they participated, to certify
that they continue to meet the criteria
for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on Commerce’s website at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nmesep-rate.html on the date of publication
of this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the certification, please
follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to Commerce no
later than 30 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Certification applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers
who purchase and export subject
merchandise to the United States.
Entities that currently do not have a
separate rate from a completed segment
of the proceeding 3 should timely file a
Separate Rate Application to
demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. In addition,
companies that received a separate rate
in a completed segment of the
proceeding that have subsequently
made changes, including, but not
limited to, changes to corporate
structure, acquisitions of new
companies or facilities, or changes to
their official company name,4 should
timely file a Separate Rate Application
to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate in this proceeding. The Separate
Rate Status Application will be
available on Commerce’s website at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nmesep-rate.html on the date of publication
of this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the Separate Rate Status
Application, refer to the instructions
contained in the application. Separate
Rate Status Applications are due to
Commerce no later than 30 calendar
days of publication of this Federal
Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Separate
Rate Status Application applies equally
to NME-owned firms, wholly foreignowned firms, and foreign sellers that
purchase and export subject
merchandise to the United States.
For exporters and producers who
submit a separate-rate status application
or certification and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents,
these exporters and producers will no
longer be eligible for separate rate status
unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory
respondents.
Initiation of Reviews:
3 Such entities include entities that have not
participated in the proceeding, entities that were
preliminarily granted a separate rate in any
currently incomplete segment of the proceeding
(e.g., an ongoing administrative review, new
shipper review, etc.) and entities that lost their
separate rate in the most recently completed
segment of the proceeding in which they
participated.
4 Only changes to the official company name,
rather than trade names, need to be addressed via
a Separate Rate Application. Information regarding
new trade names may be submitted via a Separate
Rate Certification.

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 Commerce; and (v)
evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). These regulations
require any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under

11DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2018 / Notices
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
the record that the factual information
seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also
provide specific time limits for such
factual submissions based on the type of
factual information being submitted.

Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before a time limit
established under Part 351 expires, or as
otherwise specified by the Secretary.
See 19 CFR 351.302. 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

Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) has received requests to
conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with October anniversary dates.
In accordance with Commerce's regulations, we are initiating those
administrative reviews.
DATES: Applicable December 11, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda E. Brown, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4735.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping and
countervailing duty orders and findings with October anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by Commerce discussed below
refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting time.
Notice of No Sales
If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no
exports, sales, or entries during the period of review (POR), it must
notify Commerce within 30 days of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. All submissions must be filed electronically at
https://access.trade.gov in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303.\1\ Such
submissions are subject to verification in accordance with section
782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy must be served on every
party on Commerce's service list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Electronic Filing Procedures; Administrative Protective Order
Procedures, 76 FR 39263 (July 6, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respondent Selection
In the event Commerce limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to
requests made for the orders identified below, Commerce intends to
select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
data for U.S. imports during the period of review. We intend to place
the CBP data on the record within five days of publication of the
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 30 days of publication of the initiation Federal
Register notice. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent
selection should be submitted seven days after the placement of the CBP
data on the record of this review. Parties wishing to submit rebuttal
comments should submit those comments five days after the deadline for
the initial comments.
In the event Commerce decides it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, Commerce has found that determinations concerning
whether particular companies should be ``collapsed'' (e.g., treated as
a single entity for purposes of calculating antidumping duty rates)
require a substantial amount of detailed information and analysis,
which often require follow-up questions and analysis. Accordingly,
Commerce will not conduct collapsing analyses at the respondent
selection phase of this review and will not collapse companies at the
respondent selection phase unless there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a previous segment of this antidumping
proceeding (e.g., investigation, administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances review). For any company subject to
this review, if Commerce determined, or continued to treat, that
company as collapsed with others, Commerce will
[[Page 63616]]
assume that such companies continue to operate in the same manner and
will collapse them for respondent selection purposes. Otherwise,
Commerce will not collapse companies for purposes of respondent
selection. Parties are requested to (a) identify which companies
subject to review previously were collapsed, and (b) provide a citation
to the proceeding in which they were collapsed. Further, if companies
are requested to complete the Quantity and Value (Q&V) Questionnaire
for purposes of respondent selection, in general each company must
report volume and value data separately for itself. Parties should not
include data for any other party, even if they believe they should be
treated as a single entity with that other party. If a company was
collapsed with another company or companies in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding where Commerce considered
collapsing that entity, complete Q&V data for that collapsed entity
must be submitted.
Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that Commerce may extend this time if it is
reasonable to do so. Determinations by Commerce to extend the 90-day
deadline will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Deadline for Particular Market Situation Allegation
Section 504 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 amended
the Act by adding the concept of particular market situation (PMS) for
purposes of constructed value under section 773(e) of the Act.\2\
Section 773(e) of the Act states that ``if a particular market
situation exists such that the cost of materials and fabrication or
other processing of any kind does not accurately reflect the cost of
production in the ordinary course of trade, the administering authority
may use another calculation methodology under this subtitle or any
other calculation methodology.'' When an interested party submits a PMS
allegation pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce will respond
to such a submission consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(v). If Commerce
finds that a PMS exists under section 773(e) of the Act, then it will
modify its dumping calculations appropriately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law 114-
27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 19 CFR 351.301(c)(v) set a
deadline for the submission of PMS allegations and supporting factual
information. However, in order to administer section 773(e) of the Act,
Commerce must receive PMS allegations and supporting factual
information with enough time to consider the submission. Thus, should
an interested party wish to submit a PMS allegation and supporting new
factual information pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, it must do
so no later than 20 days after submission of initial responses to
section D of the questionnaire.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (NME) countries,
Commerce begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be
assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is Commerce's
policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to
be entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a
separate rate, Commerce analyzes each entity exporting the subject
merchandise. In accordance with the separate rates criteria, Commerce
assigns separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents
can demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government
control over export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a separate rate application or
certification, as described below. For these administrative reviews, in
order to demonstrate separate rate eligibility, Commerce requires
entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they
participated, to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for
obtaining a separate rate. The Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on Commerce's website at https://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on the date of publication of this Federal Register
notice. In responding to the certification, please follow the
``Instructions for Filing the Certification'' in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate Certifications are due to Commerce no
later than 30 calendar days after publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Certification
applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and
foreign sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \3\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\4\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Status Application will be available on
Commerce's website at https://enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice.
In responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to Commerce no later than 30 calendar days of
publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status Application applies
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign
sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the United
States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\4\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For exporters and producers who submit a separate-rate status
application or certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory
respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible
for separate rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.

Duty Absorption Reviews
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a
determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or
suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if
requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine
whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or
producer subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in
the United States through an importer that is affiliated with such
exporter or producer. The request must include the name(s) of the
exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.
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 the procedures
outlined in Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR 351.305. 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)).
Factual Information Requirements
Commerce's regulations identify 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 Commerce; and (v) evidence other than factual
information described in (i)-(iv). These regulations require any party,
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being
[[Page 63619]]
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 the record that the
factual information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The
regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also provide specific time limits for
such factual submissions based on the type of factual information being
submitted. 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.\10\ 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.\11\ Commerce
intends to reject factual submissions in any proceeding segments if the
submitting party does not comply with applicable revised certification
requirements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of time limits before a time limit
established under Part 351 expires, or as otherwise specified by the
Secretary. See 19 CFR 351.302. 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 CFR 351.301(c)(3) and
rebuttal, clarification and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 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, Commerce 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, Commerce 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 Commerce will grant untimely-filed requests
for the extension of time limits. These modifications are effective for
all segments initiated on or after October 21, 2013. Please review the
final rule, available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting factual information in these
segments.
