(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.)

2The ITA said that in the initiation notice published on April 30, 2012, the period of review for polyvinyl alcohol from Taiwan was incorrect. This is the correct period of review for this case.
