Sec. 351.219  Reviews of countervailing duty orders in connection with 
an investigation under section 753 of the Act.

    (a) Introduction. Section 753 of the Act is a transition provision 
for countervailing duty orders that were issued under section 303 of the 
Act without an injury determination by the Commission. Under the 
Subsidies Agreement, one country may not impose countervailing duties on 
imports from another WTO Member without first making a determination 
that such imports have caused injury to a domestic industry. Section 753 
provides a mechanism for providing an injury test with respect to those 
``no-injury'' orders under section 303 that apply to merchandise from 
WTO Members. This section contains rules regarding requests for section 
753 investigations by a domestic interested party; and the procedures 
that the Department will follow in reviewing a

countervailing duty order and providing the Commission with advice 
regarding the amount and nature of a countervailable subsidy.
    (b) Notification of domestic interested parties. The Secretary will 
notify directly domestic interested parties as soon as possible after 
the opportunity arises for requesting an investigation by the Commission 
under section 753 of the Act.
    (c) Initiation and conduct of section 753 review. Where the 
Secretary deems it necessary in order to provide to the Commission 
information on the amount or nature of a countervailable subsidy (see 
section 753(b)(2) of the Act), the Secretary may initiate a section 753 
review of the countervailing duty order in question. The Secretary will 
conduct a section 753 review in accordance with Sec. 351.221.
