SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an
antidumping or countervailing duty order, finding, or suspension of
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 (``the
Department'') 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 the
Department discussed below refer to the number of calendar days from
the applicable starting date.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to
requests made for the orders identified below, 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. We intend
to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (``APO'')
to all parties having an APO within seven days of publication of the
initiation notice in the Federal Register and to make our decision
regarding respondent selection within 21 days of publication of the
initiation 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. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection within five days of placement of the CBP data on
the record of the review.
Opportunity to Request a Review
Not later than the last day of February 2011,\1\ interested parties
may request administrative review of the following orders, findings, or
suspended investigations, with anniversary dates in February for the
following periods:

None.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In the notice of opportunity to request administrative
reviews that published on December 1, 2010 (75 FR 74682) the
Department listed the period of review for the case Certain Hot-
Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from Indonesia (C-560-813)
incorrectly. The correct period of review for this case is listed
above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\3\ 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
were 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ If the review request involves a non-market economy and the
parties subject to the review request do not qualify for separate
rates, all other exporters of subject merchandise from the non-
market economy country who do not have a separate rate will be
covered by the review as part of the single entity of which the
named firms are a part.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that, for any party the Department was unable to locate
in prior segments, the Department 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), the
Department has 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. See also the Import
Administration web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration, International
[[Page 5561]]
Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. The
Department also asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the
Office of Antidumping/Countervailing Operations, Attention: Sheila
Forbes, in room 3508 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii), a copy of each request must
be served on the petitioner and each exporter or producer specified in
the request.
The Department 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 February 2011. If the Department does not receive,
by the last day of February 2011, a request for review of entries
covered by an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified above, the Department will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated
antidumping or countervailing duties required on those entries at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from use, 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 POR.
This notice is not required by statute but is published as a
service to the international trading community.
Dated: January 26, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
