    In accordance with section 351.213(b) of the regulations, an 
interested party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act may request in 
writing that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. The 
Department changed its requirements for requesting reviews for 
countervailing duty orders. For both antidumping and countervailing 
duty reviews, the

[[Page 100]]

interested party must specify the individual producers or exporters 
covered by an antidumping finding or an antidumping or countervailing 
duty order or suspension agreement for which it is requesting a review, 
and the requesting party must state why it desires the Secretary to 
review those particular producers or exporters.\2\ If the interested 
party intends for the Secretary to review sales of merchandise by an 
exporter (or a producer if that producer also exports merchandise from 
other suppliers) which were produced in more than one country of origin 
and each country of origin is subject to a separate order, then the 
interested party must state specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 
which exporter(s) the request is intended to cover.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ If the review request involves a non-market economy and the 
parties subject to the review request do not qualify for separate 
rates, all other exporters of subject merchandise from the non-
market economy country who do not have a separate rate will be 
covered by the review as part of the single entity of which the 
named firms are a part.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As explained in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the 
Department has clarified its practice with respect to the collection of 
final antidumping duties on imports of merchandise where intermediate 
firms are involved. The public should be aware of this clarification in 
determining whether to request an administrative review of merchandise 
subject to antidumping findings and orders. See also the Import 
Administration web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov.
    Six copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. The Department also 
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of 
Antidumping/Countervailing Operations, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in 
room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 
section 351.303(f)(l)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request 
must be served on every party on the Department's service list.
    The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of 
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received 
by the last day of January 2007. If the Department does not receive, by 
the last day of January 2007, a request for review of entries covered 
by an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed in this notice 
and for the period identified above, the Department will instruct the 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping or 
countervailing duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash 
deposit of (or bond for) estimated antidumping or countervailing duties 
required on those entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption and to continue to collect the cash deposit 
previously ordered. This notice is not required by statute but is 
published as a service to the international trading community.

    Dated: December 21, 2006.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
