All firms listed in the Commerce'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.
To demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, Commerce requires Chinese and Vietnamese 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 30 calendar days after the publication of the notice (i.e., March 6).
Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement.
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 Commerce within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, i.e., March 6. (Commerce 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 Commerce limits the number of respondents for individual examination for administrative reviews, the agency will select respondents based on CBP data during the period of investigation, as well as quantity and value questionnaires for the reviews of multilayered wood flooring and solar cells from China. Decisions on respondent selection will be made within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., by March 6. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be filed within seven days of placement of the CBP data on the record of the applicable review.
