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

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 release
the CBP data under Administrative
1 See Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015,
Public Law 114–27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).

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 35 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)(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
Section D responses.
Opportunity To Request a Review: Not
later than the last day of November
2021,2 interested parties may request
administrative review of the following
2 Or the next business day, if the deadline falls
on a weekend, federal holiday or any other day
when Commerce is closed.
