11This segment has been combined with the 

ACCESS Segment Specific Information (SSI) field 

which will display the month in which the notice 

of the order or suspended investigation was 

published in the Federal Register, also known as 

the anniversary month. For example, for an order 

under case number A–000–000 that was published 

in the Federal Register in January, the relevant 

segment and SSI combination will appear in 

ACCESS as ‘‘AISL-January Anniversary.’’ Note that 

there will be only one annual inquiry service list 

segment per case number, and the anniversary 

month will be pre-populated in ACCESS.

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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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. 

Establishment of and Updates to the 

Annual Inquiry Service List 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the final rule titled 

‘‘Regulations to Improve Administration 

and Enforcement of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Laws’’ in the 

Federal Register.8 On September 27, 

2021, Commerce also published the 

notice entitled ‘‘Scope Ruling 

Application; Annual Inquiry Service 

List; and Informational Sessions’’ in the 

Federal Register.9 The Final Rule and 

Procedural Guidance provide that 

Commerce will maintain an annual 

inquiry service list for each order or 

suspended investigation, and any 

interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin.10

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register before November 4, 

2021, Commerce created an annual 

inquiry service list segment for each 

order and suspended investigation. 

Interested parties who wished to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order submitted an entry of 

appearance to the annual inquiry 

service list segment for the order in 

ACCESS, and on November 4, 2021, 

Commerce finalized the initial annual 

inquiry service lists for each order and 

suspended investigation. Each annual 

inquiry service list has been saved as a 

public service list in ACCESS, under 

each case number, and under a specific 

segment type called ‘‘AISL-Annual 

Inquiry Service List.’’ 11

As mentioned in the Procedural 

Guidance, beginning in January 2022, 

Commerce will update these annual 

inquiry service lists on an annual basis 

when the Opportunity Notice for the 

anniversary month of the order or 

suspended investigation is published in 

the Federal Register.12 Accordingly, 

Commerce will update the annual 

inquiry service lists for the above-listed 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

proceedings. All interested parties 

wishing to appear on the updated 

annual inquiry service list must take 

one of the two following actions: (1) 

new interested parties who did not 

previously submit an entry of 

appearance must submit a new entry of 

appearance at this time; (2) interested 

parties who were included in the 

preceding annual inquiry service list 

must submit an amended entry of 

appearance to be included in the next 

year’s annual inquiry service list. For 

these interested parties, Commerce will 

change the entry of appearance status 

from ‘‘Active’’ to ‘‘Needs Amendment’’ 

for the annual inquiry service lists 

corresponding to the above-listed 

proceedings. This will allow those 

interested parties to make any necessary 

amendments and resubmit their entries 

of appearance. If no amendments need 

to be made, the interested party should 

indicate in the area on the ACCESS form 

requesting an explanation for the 

amendment that it is resubmitting its 

entry of appearance for inclusion in the 

annual inquiry service list for the 

following year. As mentioned in the 

Final Rule,13 once the petitioners and 

foreign governments have submitted an 

entry of appearance for the first time, 

they will automatically be added to the 

updated annual inquiry service list each 

year. 

Interested parties have 30 days after 

the date of this notice to submit new or 

amended entries of appearance. 

Commerce will then finalize the annual 

inquiry service lists five business days 

thereafter. For ease of administration, 

please note that Commerce requests that 

law firms with more than one attorney 

representing interested parties in a 

proceeding designate a lead attorney to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time as 

needed based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove or otherwise 

modify their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Any changes or 

announcements pertaining to these 

procedures will be posted to the 

ACCESS website at https://

access.trade.gov. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 14

Accordingly, as stated above and 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the 

petitioners and foreign governments 

will not need to resubmit their entries 

of appearance each year to continue to 

be included on the annual inquiry 

service list. However, the petitioners 

and foreign governments are responsible 

for making amendments to their entries 

of appearance during the annual update 

to the annual inquiry service list in 

accordance with the procedures 

described above. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

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 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 section 771(9)(C), (D), (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

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

requirements. Consult Commerce’s
