Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) has received requests 

to conduct administrative reviews of 

various antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders and findings with July 

anniversary dates. In accordance with 

the Department’s regulations, we are 

initiating those administrative reviews. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 26, 2008 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD 

Operations, Customs Unit, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230, 

telephone: (202) 482–4697. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b)(2002), for administrative 

reviews of various antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders and findings 

with July anniversary dates. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews, 

the Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review 

(POR). We intend to release the CBP 

data under Administrative Protective 

Order (APO) to all parties having an 

APO within five days of publication of 

this initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 20 days of publication of this 

Federal Register notice. The 

Department invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within 10 calendar days of publication 

of this Federal Register notice. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non–market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

administrative review in an NME 

country this single rate unless an 

exporter can demonstrate that it is 

sufficiently independent so as to be 

entitled to a separate rate. 

To establish whether a firm is 

sufficiently independent from 

government control of its export 

activities to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the Department analyzes each 

entity exporting the subject 

merchandise under a test arising from 

the Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the 

People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 

(May 6, 1991) (‘‘Sparklers’’), as 

amplified by Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon 

Carbide from the People’s Republic of 

China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2,1994) 

(‘‘Silicon Carbide’’). 

In accordance with the separate–rates 

criteria, the Department assigns separate 

rates to companies in NME cases only 

if respondents can demonstrate the 

absence of both de jure and de facto 

government control over export 

activities. 

All firms listed below that wish to 

qualify for separate–rate status in the 

administrative reviews involving NME 

countries must complete, as 

appropriate, either a separate–rate 

application or certification, as described 

below. For these administrative reviews, 

in order to demonstrate separate–rate 

eligibility, the Department requires 

entities for whom a review was 

requested, that were assigned a separate 

rate in the most recent segment of this 

proceeding in which they participated, 

to certify that they continue to meet the 

criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The 

Separate Rate Certification form will be 

available on the Department’s website at 

http://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of 

publication of this Federal Register. In 

responding to the certification, please 

follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the 

Certification’’ in the Separate Rate 

Certification. Separate Rate 

Certifications are due to the Department 

no later than 30 calendar days of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. The deadline and requirement 

for submitting a Certification applies 

equally to NME–owned firms, wholly 

foreign–owned firms, and foreign sellers 

who purchase and export subject 

merchandise to the United States. 

For entities that have not previously 

been assigned a separate rate, to 

demonstrate eligibility for such, the 

Department requires a Separate Rate 

Status Application. The Separate Rate 

Status Application will be available on 

the Department’s website at http:// 

www.trade.gov/ia on the date of 

publication of this Federal Register

application. Separate Rate Status 

Applications are due to the Department 

no later than 60 calendar days of

notice. The deadline and requirement 

for submitting a Separate Rate Status 

Application applies equally to NME–

owned firms, wholly foreign–owned 

firms, and foreign sellers that purchase 

and export subject merchandise to the 

United States.

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
