DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482–4735. 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), may 

request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) conduct an 

administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by Commerce 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event Commerce limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, Commerce 

intends to select respondents based on 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the 

period of review. We intend to release 

the CBP data under Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) to all parties 

having an APO within five days of 

publication of the initiation notice and 

to make our decision regarding 

respondent selection within 21 days of 

publication of the initiation Federal 

Register notice. Therefore, we 

encourage all parties interested in 

commenting on respondent selection to 

submit their APO applications on the 

date of publication of the initiation 

notice, or as soon thereafter as possible. 

Commerce invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within five days of placement of the 

CBP data on the record of the review. 

In the event Commerce decides it is 

necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, Commerce finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will 

not conduct collapsing analyses at the 

respondent selection phase of a review 

and will not collapse companies at the 

respondent selection phase unless there 

has been a determination to collapse 

certain companies in a previous 

segment of this antidumping proceeding 

(i.e., investigation, administrative 

review, new shipper review or changed 

circumstances review). For any 

company subject to a review, if 

Commerce determined, or continued to 

treat, that company as collapsed with 

others, Commerce will assume that such 

companies continue to operate in the 

same manner and will collapse them for 

respondent selection purposes. 

Otherwise, Commerce will not collapse 

companies for purposes of respondent 

selection. Parties are requested to (a) 

identify which companies subject to 

review previously were collapsed, and 

(b) provide a citation to the proceeding 

in which they were collapsed. Further, 

if companies are requested to complete 

a Quantity and Value Questionnaire for 

purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of a proceeding 

where Commerce considered collapsing 

that entity, complete quantity and value 

data for that collapsed entity must be 

submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that Commerce may 

extend this time if it is reasonable to do 

so. Determinations by Commerce to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

Opportunity to Request a Review: Not 

later than the last day of July 2018,1

interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

July for the following periods:

UKRAINE: Oil Country Tubular Goods, A–823–815 ..................................................................................................................... 7/1/17–6/30/18 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the 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. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. 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 was 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. 

Note that, for any party Commerce 

was unable to locate in prior segments, 

Commerce will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011), Commerce 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.2

Commerce no longer considers the 

non-market economy (NME) entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to an 

antidumping duty administrative 

reviews.3 Accordingly, the NME entity 

will not be under review unless 

Commerce specifically receives a 

request for, or self-initiates, a review of 

the NME entity.4 In administrative 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 3, 2018 / Notices 31123 

entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to 

the extent possible, include the names of such 

exporters in their request. 

5See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures; 

Administrative Protective Order Procedures, 76 FR 

39263 (July 6, 2011). 

reviews of antidumping duty orders on 

merchandise from NME countries where 

a review of the NME entity has not been 

initiated, but where an individual 

exporter for which a review was 

initiated does not qualify for a separate 

rate, Commerce will issue a final 

decision indicating that the company in 

question is part of the NME entity. 

However, in that situation, because no 

review of the NME entity was 

conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries for all exporters 

not named in the initiation notice, 

including those that were suspended at 

the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS) on 

Enforcement and Compliance’s ACCESS 

website at http://access.trade.gov.5

Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(l)(i), a copy of each request 

must be served on the petitioner and 

each exporter or producer specified in 

the request. 

Commerce 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 July 

2018. If Commerce does not receive, by 

the last day of July 2018, a request for 

review of entries covered by an order, 

finding, or suspended investigation 

listed in this notice and for the period 

identified above, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping or 

countervailing duties on those entries at 

a rate equal to the cash deposit of 

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. 

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 to the period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.
