                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
                         DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
 
PART 351--ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTIES--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart B--Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Procedures
 
Sec.  351.215  Expedited antidumping review and security in lieu of estimated duty under section 736(c) of the Act.

    (a) Introduction. Exporters and producers individually examined in 
an investigation normally cannot obtain a review of entries until an 
administrative review is requested. In addition, when an antidumping 
order is published, importers normally must begin to make a cash deposit 
of estimated antidumping duties upon the entry of subject merchandise. 
Section 736(c), however, establishes a special procedure under which 
exporters or producers may request an expedited review, and bonds, 
rather than cash deposits, may continue to be posted for a limited 
period of time if several criteria are satisfied. This section contains 
rules regarding requests for expedited antidumping reviews and the 
procedures applicable to such reviews.
    (b) In general. If the Secretary determines that the criteria of 
section 736(c)(1) of the Act are satisfied, the Secretary:
    (1) May permit, for not more than 90 days after the date of 
publication of an antidumping order, the posting of a bond or other 
security instead of the deposit of estimated antidumping duties required 
under section 736(a)(3) of the Act; and
    (2) Will initiate an expedited antidumping review. Before making 
such a determination, the Secretary will make business proprietary 
information available, and will provide interested parties with an 
opportunity to file written comments, in accordance with section 
736(c)(4) of the Act.
    (c) Procedures. The Secretary will conduct an expedited antidumping 
review under this section in accordance with Sec.  351.221.
