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 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 protective order (APO) to file an APO application 
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this 
notice of initiation. Commerce's regulations on submission of 
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business 
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306. 
Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining 
to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\1\

Information Required From Interested Parties

    Domestic interested parties, as defined in sections 771(9)(C), (D),

participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days 
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required 
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with Commerce's regulations, if we do 
not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one 
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce will 
automatically revoke the order without further review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate 
from a domestic interested party, Commerce's regulations provide that 
all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file 
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The 
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific 
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain 
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties. 
Also, note that Commerce's information requirements are distinct from 
the ITC 's information requirements. Consult Commerce's regulations for 
information regarding Commerce's conduct of Sunset Reviews. Consult 
Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR part 351 for definitions of terms and 
for other general information concerning AD and CVD proceedings at 
Commerce.
