DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is
aluminum common alloy sheet (common
alloy sheet), which is a flat-rolled aluminum
product having a thickness of 6.3 mm or less,
but greater than 0.2 mm, in coils or cut-tolength, regardless of width. Common alloy
sheet within the scope of this order includes
both not clad aluminum sheet, as well as
multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet. With
respect to not clad aluminum sheet, common
alloy sheet is manufactured from a 1XXX-,
3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloy as designated by
the Aluminum Association. With respect to
multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, common
alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series
core, to which cladding layers are applied to
either one or both sides of the core.
Common alloy sheet may be made to
ASTM specification B209–14, but can also be
made to other specifications. Regardless of
specification, however, all common alloy
sheet meeting the scope description is
included in the scope. Subject merchandise
includes common alloy sheet that has been
further processed in a third country,
including but not limited to annealing,
tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming,
cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any
other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of
the order if performed in the country of
manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
Excluded from the scope of this order is
aluminum can stock, which is suitable for
use in the manufacture of aluminum
beverage cans, lids of such cans, or tabs used
to open such cans. Aluminum can stock is
produced to gauges that range from 0.200 mm
to 0.292 mm, and has an H–19, H–41, H–48,
or H–391 temper. In addition, aluminum can
stock has a lubricant applied to the flat
surfaces of the can stock to facilitate its
movement through machines used in the
manufacture of beverage cans. Aluminum
can stock is properly classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheadings 7606.12.3045
and 7606.12.3055.
Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within the
scope if application of either the nominal or
actual measurement would place it within
the scope based on the definitions set for the
above.
Common alloy sheet is currently
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings

Background
Each year during the anniversary
month of the publication of an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, finding, or suspended
investigation, an interested party, as
defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may
request, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213, that the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) conduct an
administrative review of that
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, finding, or suspended
investigation.
All deadlines for the submission of
comments or actions by Commerce
discussed below refer to the number of
calendar days from the applicable
starting date.

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, except for
the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the People’s
Republic of China and the reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on certain
crystalline silicon photovoltaic products
from Taiwan and the People’s Republic
of China, 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 release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
to all parties having an APO within five
days of publication of the initiation
notice and to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within
21 days of publication of the initiation
Federal Register notice. Therefore, we
encourage all parties interested in
commenting on respondent selection to
submit their APO applications on the
date of publication of the initiation
notice, or as soon thereafter as possible.
Commerce invites comments regarding
the CBP data and respondent selection
within five days of placement of the
CBP data on the record of the review.
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 finds that
determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., 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 a 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
(i.e., investigation, administrative
review, new shipper review or changed
circumstances review). For any
company subject to a review, if
Commerce determined, or continued to
treat, that company as collapsed with
others, Commerce will 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
a Quantity and Value 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 a proceeding
where Commerce considered collapsing
that entity, complete quantity and value
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 requests 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.1 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
1 See Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015,
Public Law 114–27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).
