merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales to the total
entered value of those sales. Where the
respondent did not report entered value,
we calculated a per-unit assessment rate
for each importer by dividing the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by
the total quantity associated with those
sales. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.5
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Citribel for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.6
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for the company listed
above will be equal to the weighted5 In these final results, Commerce applied the

average dumping margin established in
the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of
this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 19.30
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.7 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Notices
Respondent Selection
In the event that 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 (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
35 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 that Commerce decides it
is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (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 AD
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:38 Dec 28, 2023
Jkt 262001
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.
Notice of No Sales
With respect to AD administrative
reviews, we intend to rescind the review
where there are no suspended entries
for a company or entity under review
and/or where there are no suspended
entries under the company-specific case
number for that company or entity.
Where there may be suspended entries,
if a producer or exporter named in this
notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it may
notify Commerce of this fact within 30
days of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register for Commerce to
consider how to treat suspended entries
under that producer’s or exporter’s
company-specific case number.
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.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
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 AD
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
E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Notices
on Commerce’s website at https://
access.trade.gov/Resources/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
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 Separate Rate
Certification applies equally to NMEowned 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 2 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,3 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://access.
trade.gov/Resources/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.
Exporters and producers must file a
timely Separate Rate Application or
Certification if they want to be
considered for individual examination.
Furthermore, exporters and producers
who submit a Separate Rate Application
or Certification and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents 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
November 30, 2024.

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 ADs 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
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
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.
5 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(c), Commerce
received a request from NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. to defer
the administrative review of this CVD order with
respect to itself for one year. Commerce did not
receive any objections to the deferral within 15 days
after the end of the anniversary month. As such, we
will initiate the administrative review with respect
to NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. in the month immediately
following the next anniversary month of the CVD
order on Oil Country Tubular Goods from the
Republic of Korea.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Statutory
Authority and Function: The Governing
Board is established under the National
Assessment of Educational Progress
Authorization Act, (20 U.S.C. 9621).
Information on the Governing Board and
its work can be found at www.nagb.gov.
Notice of the meeting is required under
section 1009(a)(2) of 5 U.S.C. chapter 10
(Federal Advisory Committees).
The Governing Board formulates
policy for the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP)
administered by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES). The
Governing Board’s responsibilities
include:
(1) selecting the subject areas to be
assessed; (2) developing appropriate
student achievement levels; (3)
developing assessment objectives and
testing specifications that produce an
assessment that is valid and reliable,
and are based on relevant widely
accepted professional standards; (4)
developing a process for review of the
assessment which includes the active
participation of teachers, curriculum
specialists, local school administrators,
parents, and concerned members of the
public; (5) designing the methodology of
the assessment to ensure that
assessment items are valid and reliable,
in consultation with appropriate
technical experts in measurement and
assessment, content and subject matter,
sampling, and other technical experts
who engage in large scale surveys; (6)
measuring student academic
achievement in grades 4, 8, and 12 in

results of an assessment; and (10)
planning and executing the initial
public release of NAEP reports.
Assessment Development Committee
Meeting
The Assessment Development
Committee will meet virtually on
January 26th from 3–3:15 p.m. ET to
take action on the Assessment and Item
Specifications for the 2028 NAEP
Science Assessment Framework.
Governing Board policy articulates
the Board’s commitment to a
comprehensive, inclusive, and
deliberative process to determine and
update the content and format of all
NAEP assessments. For each NAEP
assessment, this process results in a
NAEP framework, outlining what is to
be measured and how it will be
measured. Periodically, the Governing
Board reviews existing NAEP
frameworks to determine if changes are
warranted. Each NAEP framework
development and update process
considers a wide set of factors,
including but not limited to reviews of
recent research on teaching and
learning, changes in state and local
standards and assessments, and the
latest perspectives on the nation’s future
needs and desirable levels of
achievement.
In 2021, the Board initiated a
preliminary review of the NAEP Science
Framework, which included an initial
public comment on whether and how
the framework should be updated as
well as expert commentary to determine
the type of updates needed. In May
2022, the Governing Board formally
decided to initiate an update to the
NAEP Science Framework and issued a
Board Charge providing guidance to the
panels of experts who were tasked with
developing the framework
recommendations. Public comment on
draft framework recommendations was
sought in March–April 2023 and
feedback was incorporated. The
Governing Board adopted the 2028
NAEP Science Assessment Framework
during its November 2023 quarterly
meeting.
The Science Assessment and Item
Specifications document provides
additional technical and operational
details for implementing the framework.
During the November 2023 quarterly
Board meeting, the Governing Board
delegated authority for adopting the
Science Assessment and Item
Specifications to the Assessment
Development Committee.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping duty
(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders with November anniversary
dates. In accordance with Commerce's regulations, we are initiating
those administrative reviews.
DATES: Applicable December 29, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda E. Brown, 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 AD and CVD orders
with November 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.
[[Page 90169]]
Respondent Selection
In the event that 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 (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 35 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 that Commerce decides it is necessary to limit
individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection
under section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (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 AD 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.
Notice of No Sales
With respect to AD administrative reviews, we intend to rescind the
review where there are no suspended entries for a company or entity
under review and/or where there are no suspended entries under the
company-specific case number for that company or entity. Where there
may be suspended entries, if a producer or exporter named in this
notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or entries during the POR,
it may notify Commerce of this fact within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register for Commerce to consider how to
treat suspended entries under that producer's or exporter's company-
specific case number.
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.\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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 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 AD 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
[[Page 90170]]
on Commerce's website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/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 Separate Rate
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 \2\ 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,\3\ 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://access.trade.gov/Resources/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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 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.
\3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exporters and producers must file a timely Separate Rate
Application or Certification if they want to be considered for
individual examination. Furthermore, exporters and producers who submit
a Separate Rate Application or Certification and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents 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 November 30, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In the initiation notice that published on November 15, 2023
(88 FR 78298) Commerce inadvertently did not clarify the entries
covered by the review with respect to the company listed in this
notice. In this notice, we are clarifying that entries of
merchandise produced and exported by Dear Year Brothers Mfg. Co.,
Ltd or produced by Fool Shing Enterprise Co., Ltd, and exported by
Dear Year Brothers Mfg. Co., Ltd or produced by Hong Tai Enterprise
and exported by Dear Year Brothers Mfg. Co., Ltd are excluded from
the antidumping duty order. This exclusion is not applicable to
merchandise exported to the United States by Dear Year Brothers Mfg.
Co., Ltd in any other producer/exporter combination or by third
parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/
exporter combinations. See Narrow Woven Ribbons With Woven Selvedge
from Taiwan and the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty
Orders, 75 FR 53632 (September 1, 2010).

NEXTEEL Co., Ltd...........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duty Absorption Reviews
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(c), Commerce received a request
from NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. to defer the administrative review of this
CVD order with respect to itself for one year. Commerce did not
receive any objections to the deferral within 15 days after the end
of the anniversary month. As such, we will initiate the
administrative review with respect to NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. in the month
immediately following the next anniversary month of the CVD order on
Oil Country Tubular Goods from the Republic of Korea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 ADs 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://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-07-17/pdf/2013-17045.pdf, prior to submitting
factual information in this segment. Note that Commerce has amended
certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in
19 CFR 351.303(f).\7\

Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Final
Rule, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
[[Page 90174]]
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 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.
