that otherwise meets the above scope
language is also covered. While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
Orders is dispositive.
Final Results of CCRs
In its comments, SeAH argues that if
Commerce modifies the scope of the
Orders, it must do so with respect to all
of the orders on large diameter welded
pipe from countries that resulted from
the investigations that were included in
the International Trade Commission’s
(ITC) cumulated injury analysis.
Specifically, in order to maintain the
integrity of its proceedings, Commerce
must modify the scope of the orders on
Canada, China, Greece, Korea, and
Turkey in addition to the India orders.9
SeAH also argues that it is possible that
the ITC might have made a negative
injury determination for Canada, Korea
and Turkey if the imports of the
products at issue had not been
considered in its cumulative analysis.
Finally, SeAH also asserts that, in
order to maintain the integrity of its
proceedings, Commerce cannot allow
the domestic industry to select which of
the various AD and CVD orders will
have an exclusion and which of the
orders will not. SeAH argues that one of
the U.S. producers now seeks to exclude
imports from a foreign affiliate whose
AD and CVD cash deposit rates are
based on adverse facts available, but not
from other producers in other countries
covered by the petitions. The domestic
industry’s request ‘‘raises serious
questions of unlawful anticompetitive
intent.’’ 10
In its comments, the domestic
industry argues that SeAH has no
evidence to support its claim that the
ITC may have made a different injury
determination had the products at issue
not been considered in the ITC’s
cumulated injury analysis. The
domestic industry argues that whenever
Commerce narrows the scope of an
order, there is necessarily a product
removed from the scope that could have
been considered by the ITC in its injury
analysis.11 The domestic industry
argues that the statute and regulations

give Commerce the authority to revoke
an order in part based on changed
circumstances when it concludes that
the domestic producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product express a lack of
interest in part of the order.12 Finally,
the domestic producers argue that the
scope exclusion is extremely narrow
and the merchandise at issue accounts
for a very small portion of the U.S.
market and is not produced in the
United States. Therefore, LDWP from
India, including that produced by the
Indian affiliate of one of the U.S.
producers, will still be subject to AD
and CVD duties in the vast majority of
the U.S. market.13
Section 751(b) authorizes Commerce
to modify the scopes of AD and CVD
orders only for those orders in which we
conduct a CCR.14 Further, 19 CFR
351.216(c) requires that ‘‘good cause’’
exists when it conducts a CCR within 24
months of the publication of a final
determination of an investigation. In the
Initiation and Preliminary Results,
Commerce found that ‘‘good cause’’
existed to initiate these CCRs.15
These CCRs pertain to the India large
diameter pipe orders. SeAH’s comments
referencing the other large diameter
pipe orders are beyond the scope of
these CCRs.
Further, with respect to SeAH’s
argument that Commerce cannot allow
the domestic producers to select which
of the countries covered by the orders
will have an exclusion and which will
not, Commerce has the authority to
revoke an order in part based on
changed circumstances if it concludes
that the domestic producers accounting
for substantially all of the production of
the domestic like product express a lack
of interest in part of the order.16 In these
CCRs, the ten domestic producers which
requested the CCRs represent
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product covered by these
Orders, and have stated that they are no
longer interested in the merchandise at

issue being covered by the Orders.17
There is no information on the record to
contradict the domestic industry’s
claim. SeAH’s argument that the ITC
may have made a negative injury
determination if the products at issue
were not included in its cumulated
injury analysis is immaterial to these
CCRs. Therefore, for the reasons stated
in the Initiation and Preliminary
Results, Commerce continues to find
that it is appropriate to revoke the
Orders, in part, with respect to certain
large diameter welded pipe products
with specific combinations of grades,
diameters and wall thicknesses, as
reflected in the ‘‘Scope of the Orders’’
section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various AD and CVD orders and
findings with March 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.
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
POR. 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 within 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 within
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, the
following guidelines regarding
collapsing of companies for purposes of
respondent selection will apply. In

Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures;

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 AD 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 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 a particular
PO 00000

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)(2)(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)(2)(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.

Public Law 114–27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 88 / Wednesday, May 6, 2020 / Notices
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 Application will be available on
Commerce’s website at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/nme/nme-seprate.html on the date of publication of
this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the Separate Rate
Application, refer to the instructions
contained in the application. Separate
Rate Applications are due to Commerce
no later than 30 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Separate Rate
Application applies equally to NMEowned firms, wholly foreign-owned
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase
and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
For exporters and producers who
submit a Separate Rate 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
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following
AD and CVD orders and findings. We
intend to issue the final results of these
reviews not later than March 31, 2021.

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 AD 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), Commerce, 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 AD 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
‘‘gap’’ period of the order (i.e., the
period following the expiry of
provisional measures and before
definitive measures were put into
place), 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
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.

party does not comply with applicable
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 Commerce.9 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

concerning the selection of a surrogate
country and surrogate values and
rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP
data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under
certain circumstances, Commerce may
elect to specify a different time limit by
which extension requests will be
considered untimely for submissions

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 duty (AD) and
countervailing duty (CVD) orders and findings with March anniversary
dates. In accordance with Commerce's regulations, we are initiating
those administrative reviews.
DATES: Applicable May 6, 2020.

[[Page 26932]]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various AD and CVD orders and
findings with March 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 POR. 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
within 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 within 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, the following guidelines regarding
collapsing of companies for purposes of respondent selection will
apply. 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 AD 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 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 a 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)(2)(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)(2)(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.
[[Page 26933]]
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 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 Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Applications
are due to Commerce no later than 30 calendar days after publication of
this Federal Register notice. The deadline and requirement for
submitting a Separate Rate 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 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
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following AD and CVD orders and findings.
We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not later than
March 31, 2021.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
None.
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 AD 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), Commerce, 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 AD
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 ``gap'' period of the order (i.e., the
period following the expiry of provisional measures and before
definitive measures were put into place), 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 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,\6\ available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to
submitting factual information in this segment. Note that Commerce has
temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents
containing business proprietary information, until May 19, 2020, unless
extended.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Certification of Factual Information To Import
Administration During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings, 78 FR 42678 (July 17, 2013) (Final Rule); see also the
frequently asked questions regarding the Final Rule, available at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/tlei/notices/factual_info_final_rule_FAQ_07172013.pdf.
\7\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due
to COVID-19, 85 FR 17006 (March 26, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any party submitting factual information in an AD or CVD proceeding
must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information using
the formats provided at the end of the Final Rule.\8\ Commerce intends
to reject factual submissions in any proceeding segments if the
submitting party does not comply with applicable 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
Commerce.\9\ 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 CBP
data; and (5) Q&V 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
[[Page 26938]]
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 policy 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. 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.
