Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam
All firms listed in the ITA's notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving non-market economy (NME) countries (China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application.
In order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, the ITA requires the China and Vietnam companies for whom a review was requested that were assigned a separate rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they participated to certify that they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. Certifications are due 60 calendar days from after the publication of the notice (i.e. on or about June 29, 2012).
Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are available at http://www.trade.gov/ia.
Notices of No Sales During the Review Period
If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or entries during the period of review, it must notify the ITA within 60 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e. on or about June 29, 2012. (The ITA will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the period of review.)
Respondent Selection
If the ITA limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the ITA will select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data during the period of investigation. Respondent selection will be made within 21 days of publication of this Federal Register notice; i.e. on or about May 21, 2012. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within five days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
1The review period for orange juice from Brazil is abbreviated because the ITA revoked the notice effective as of March 9, 2011.
2The ITA says that it is listing this initiation again because the name of Daewoo International Corp. was misspelled in its March 30, 2012 initiation notice.
3The ITA says that in the initiation notice it published on March 30, 2012, covering cases with February anniversary dates, the ITA inadvertently stated that it had received a timely request to revoke in part the AD order on frozen warmwater shrimp from China with respect to one exporter. However, the ITA says that it actually received timely requests with respect to two exporters.
4The ITA says that in the initiation notice it published on March 0, 2012, covering cases with February anniversary dates, the ITA inadvertently did not note that it had received timely requests to revoke in part the AD order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam with respect to two exporters.
