DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping duty
orders and findings with October anniversary dates. In accordance with
the Department's regulations, we are initiating those administrative
reviews.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 25, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD
Operations, Customs Unit, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-
4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various antidumping duty
orders and findings with October anniversary dates.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review
where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise
during the respective period of review (``POR'') listed below. If a
producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer
or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely
statement certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR. All submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and are subject to verification in
accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(``the Act''). Six copies of the submission should be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. Further, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy of each request must be served on
every party on the Department's service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews, the Department
intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'') to
all parties having an APO within five days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our decision regarding respondent
selection within 20 days of publication of this Federal Register
notice. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within 10 calendar days of publication of this
Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries,
the Department 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 the
Department'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, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the
subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2,1994). In accordance
with the separate-rates criteria, the Department 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, the Department 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 the Department's website at http://www.trade.gov/ia 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 the Department no later than 30 calendar days
after publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Certification applies
[[Page 61659]]
equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign
sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise to the United
States.
For entities that have not previously been assigned a separate
rate, to demonstrate eligibility for such, the Department requires a
Separate Rate Status Application. The Separate Rate Status Application
will be available on the Department's website at http://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In
responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status
Applications are due to the Department no later than 60 calendar days
of publication of this Federal Register notice. The deadline and
requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status Application applies
equally to NME-owned 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 status
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 antidumping duty orders and
findings. We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not
later than October 31, 2010.

[[Page 61662]]
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 antidumping duty 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), the Secretary, 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,
consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed Cir.
2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping 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.
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 provisional-measures ``gap'' period, of
the order, if such a gap period is applicable for the POR.
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On January 22, 2008, the
Department published Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Documents Submission Procedures; APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January
22, 2008). 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 in 19 CFR 351.103(d)).
These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)), and
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: November 19, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
