  PART 207_INVESTIGATIONS OF WHETHER INJURY TO DOMESTIC INDUSTRIES RESULTS 
 
                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
Sec. 207.3  Service, filing, and certification of documents.

    (a) Certification. Any person submitting factual information on 
behalf of the petitioner or any other interested party for inclusion in 
the record, and any person submitting a response to a Commission 
questionnaire, must certify that such information is accurate and 
complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge.
    (b) Service. Any party submitting a document for inclusion in the 
record of the investigation shall, in addition to complying with Sec. 
201.8 of this chapter, serve a copy of each such document on all other 
parties to the investigation in the manner prescribed in Sec. 201.16 of 
this chapter. If a document is filed before the Secretary's issuance of 
the service list provided for in Sec. 201.11 of this chapter or the 
administrative protective order list provided for in Sec. 207.7, the 
document need not be accompanied by a certificate of service, but the 
document shall be served on all appropriate parties within two (2) days 
of the issuance of the service list or the administrative protective 
order list and a certificate of service shall then be filed. 
Notwithstanding Sec. 201.16 of this chapter, petitions, briefs, and 
testimony filed by parties pursuant to Sec. Sec. 207.10, 207.15, 
207.23, 207.24, 207.25, 207.65, 207.66, and 207.67 shall be served by 
hand or, if served by mail, by overnight mail or its equivalent. Failure 
to comply with the requirements of this rule may result in removal from 
status as a party to the investigation. The Commission shall make 
available to all parties to the investigation a copy of each document, 
except transcripts of conferences and hearings, business proprietary 
information, privileged information, and information required to be 
served under this section, placed in the record of the investigation by 
the Commission.
    (c) Filing. Documents to be filed with the Commission must comply 
with applicable rules, including Sec. 201.8 of this chapter. If the 
Commission establishes a deadline for the filing of a document, and the 
submitter includes business proprietary information in the document, the 
submitter is to file and, if the submitter is a party, serve the 
business proprietary version of the document on the deadline and may 
file and serve the nonbusiness proprietary version of the document no 
later than one business day after the deadline for

[[Page 97]]

filing the document. The business proprietary version shall enclose all 
business proprietary information in brackets and have the following 
warning marked on every page: ``Bracketing of BPI not final for one 
business day after date of filing.'' The bracketing becomes final one 
business day after the date of filing of the document, i.e., at the same 
time as the nonbusiness proprietary version of the document is due to be 
filed. Until the bracketing becomes final, recipients of the document 
may not divulge any part of the contents of the document to anyone not 
subject to the administrative protective order issued in the 
investigation. If the submitter discovers it has failed to bracket 
correctly, the submitter may file a corrected version or portion of the 
business proprietary document at the same time as the nonbusiness 
proprietary version is filed. No changes, including typographical 
changes, to the document other than bracketing and deletion of business 
proprietary information are permitted after the deadline unless an 
extension of time is granted to file an amended document pursuant to 
Sec. 201.14(b)(2) of this chapter. Failure to comply with this 
paragraph may result in the striking from the record of all or a portion 
of a submitter's document.
