of the Act in a case in which a Commission determination under title VII 
of the Act is required, shall file copies of the petition, including all 
exhibits, appendices, and attachments thereto, pursuant to Sec. 201.8 of 
this chapter, with the Secretary on the same day the petition is filed 
with the administering authority. If the petition complies with the

instituted upon the filing of its petition, which shall be deemed an 
entry of appearance.
    (b) Service of the petition. (1)(i) The Secretary shall promptly 
notify a petitioner when, before the establishment of a service list 
under Sec. 207.7(a)(4), he or she approves an application under 
Sec. 207.7(a). When practicable, this notification shall be made by 
facsimile transmission. A copy of the petition including all business 
proprietary information shall then be served by petitioner on those 
approved applicants in accord with Sec. 207.3(b) within two (2) calendar 
days of the time notification is made by the Secretary.
    (ii) The petitioner shall serve persons enumerated on the list 
established by the Secretary pursuant to Sec. 207.7(a)(4) that have not 
been served pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section within two 
(2) calendar days of the establishment of the Secretary's list.
    (2) A copy of the petition omitting business proprietary information 
shall be served by petitioner on those persons enumerated on the list 
established by the Secretary pursuant to Sec. 201.11(d) of this chapter 
within two (2) calendar days of the establishment of the Secretary's 
list.
    (3) Service of the petition shall be attested by filing a 
certificate of service with the Commission.
    (c) Amendments and withdrawals; critical circumstances. (1) Any 
amendment or withdrawal of a petition shall be filed on the same day 
with both the Secretary and the administering authority, without regard 
to whether the requester seeks action only by one agency.
    (2) When not made in the petition, any allegations of critical 
circumstances under section 703 or section 733 of the Act shall be made 
in an amendment to the petition and shall be filed as early as possible. 
Critical circumstances allegations, whether made in the petition or in 
an amendment thereto, shall contain information reasonably available to 
petitioner concerning the factors enumerated in sections 705(b)(4)(A) 
and 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act.
