Filing Information

    As a courtesy, we are making information related to sunset 
proceedings, including copies of the pertinent statute and Commerce's 
regulations, Commerce's schedule for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past 
revocations and continuations, and current service lists, available to 
the public on Commerce's website at the following address: https://enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/. All submissions in these Sunset Reviews 
must be filed in accordance with Commerce's regulations regarding 
format, translation, and service of documents. These rules, including 
electronic filing requirements via Enforcement and Compliance's 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service 
System (ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR 351.303.
    In accordance with section 782(b) of the Act, any party submitting 
factual information in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify to the 
accuracy and completeness of that information. Parties must use the 
certification formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g). Commerce intends 
to reject factual submissions if the submitting party does not comply 
with applicable revised certification requirements.

Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), Commerce will maintain and make 
available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties wishing 
to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file letters of 
appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To facilitate the timely 
preparation of the public service list, it is requested that those 
seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit an 
entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice of 
Initiation. Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we 
urge interested parties who want access to proprietary information 
under administrative

temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents 
containing business proprietary information, until further notice.\1\
