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

(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to
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 respondents 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 antidumping and countervailing
duty proceedings at Commerce.
Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements
pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\3\ An
electronically filed document must be received successfully in its
entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day on which it is
due.

In prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to
provide an executive summary of their comments, including footnotes. In
these sunset reviews, we request that interested parties provide at the
beginning of their comments, an executive summary for each issue raised
in their comments. Further, we request that interested parties limit
their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words,
not including citations. We intend to use the public executive
summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the
decision memorandum that will accompany the notice to be published in
the Federal Register. Finally, we request that interested parties
include footnotes for relevant citations in the public executive
summary of each issue.
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
