                Filing Information
                 As a courtesy, we are making information related to sunset
                proceedings, including copies of the pertinent statute and Commerce's
                regulations, Commerce's schedule for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past
                revocations and continuations, and current service lists, available to
                the public on Commerce's website at the following address: https://enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/. All submissions in these Sunset Reviews
                must be filed in accordance with Commerce's regulations regarding
                format, translation, and service of documents. These rules, including
                electronic filing requirements via Enforcement and Compliance's
                Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
                System (ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR 351.303.
                 In accordance with section 782(b) of the Act, any party submitting
                factual information in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify to the
                accuracy and completeness of that information. Parties must use the
                certification formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g). Commerce intends
                to reject factual submissions if the submitting party does not comply
                with applicable revised certification requirements.
                Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders
                 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), Commerce will maintain and make
                available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties wishing
                to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file letters of
                appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To facilitate the timely
                preparation of the public service list, it is requested that those
                seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit an
                entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice of
                Initiation. Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we
                urge interested parties who want access to proprietary information
                under administrative protective order (APO) to file an APO application
                immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this
                notice of initiation. Commerce's regulations on submission of
                proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business
                proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.
                Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements
                for serving documents containing business proprietary information,
                until further notice.\1\

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Information Required From Interested Parties
                 Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D),
                (E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to
                participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days
                after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
                initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required
                contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR
                351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with Commerce's regulations, if we do
                not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
                domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce will
                automatically revoke the order without further review.\2\
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \2\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate
                from a domestic interested party, Commerce's regulations provide that
                all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file
                complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of
                publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The
                required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific
                basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain
                information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties.
                Also, note that Commerce's information requirements are distinct from
                the ITC 's information requirements. Consult Commerce's regulations for
                information regarding Commerce's conduct of Sunset Reviews. Consult
                Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR part 351 for definitions of terms and
                for other general information concerning antidumping and countervailing
                duty proceedings at Commerce.
                 This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with
                section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
