CFR 351.211 or a determination under 

19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an 

order or suspended investigation (after 

sunset review), Commerce, if requested 

by a domestic interested party within 30 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the review, will 

determine whether ADs have been 

absorbed by an exporter or producer 

subject to the review if the subject 

merchandise is sold in the United States 

through an importer that is affiliated 

with such exporter or producer. The 

request must include the name(s) of the 

exporter or producer for which the 

inquiry is requested. 

Gap Period Liquidation 

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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 

‘‘gap’’ period of the order (i.e., the 

period following the expiry of 

provisional measures and before 

definitive measures were put into 

place), if such a gap period is applicable 

to the POR. 

Administrative Protective Orders and 

Letters of Appearance 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with the procedures 

outlined in Commerce’s regulations at 

19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures 

apply to administrative reviews 

included in this notice of initiation. 

Parties wishing to participate in any of 

these administrative reviews should 

ensure that they meet the requirements 

of these procedures (e.g., the filing of 

separate letters of appearance as 

discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). 

Factual Information Requirements 

Commerce’s regulations identify five 

categories of factual information in 19 

CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are 

summarized as follows: (i) evidence 

submitted in response to questionnaires; 

(ii) evidence submitted in support of 

allegations; (iii) publicly available 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on 

the record by Commerce; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). These regulations 

require any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also 

provide specific time limits for such 

factual submissions based on the type of 

factual information being submitted. 

Please review the Final Rule,17 available 

at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/ 

FR-2013-07-17/pdf/2013-17045.pdf, 

prior to submitting factual information 

in this segment. Note that Commerce 

has amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).18

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or CVD 

proceeding must certify to the accuracy 

and completeness of that information 

using the formats provided at the end of 

the Final Rule.19 Commerce intends to 

reject factual submissions in any 

proceeding segments if the submitting 

party does not comply with applicable 

certification requirements. 

Extension of Time Limits Regulation 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before a time limit 

established under Part 351 expires, or as 

otherwise specified by Commerce.20 In 

general, an extension request will be 

considered untimely if it is filed after 

the time limit established under Part 

351 expires. For submissions which are 

due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. 

Examples include, but are not limited 

to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification 

and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments 

concerning the selection of a surrogate 

country and surrogate values and 

rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP 

data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under 

certain circumstances, Commerce may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, 

Commerce will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This policy also 

requires that an extension request must 

be made in a separate, standalone 

submission, and clarifies the 

circumstances under which Commerce 

will grant untimely-filed requests for the 

extension of time limits. Please review 

the Final Rule, available at https://

www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/ 

html/2013-22853.htm, prior to 

submitting factual information in these 

segments. 

These initiations and this notice are 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the

ability to carry out the objectives of the 

Board as set forth in the Board’s charter
