As a courtesy, we are making information related to Sunset proceedings, including copies of the pertinent statute and Department's regulations, the Department schedule for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past revocations and continuations, and current service lists, available to the public on the Department's sunset Internet Web site at the following address: ``http://ia.ita.doc.gov/sunset/.'' All submissions in these Sunset Reviews must be filed in accordance with the Department's regulations regarding format, translation, service, and certification of documents. These rules can be found at 19 CFR 351.303.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103 (d), the Department will maintain and make available a service list for these proceedings. To facilitate the timely preparation of the service list(s), it is requested that those seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding contact the Department in writing within 10 days of the publication of the Notice of Initiation.
Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we urge interested parties to apply for access to proprietary information under administrative protective order (``APO'') immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The Department's regulations on submission of proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304306.
Information Required from Interested Parties
Domestic interested parties 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 the Department's regulations, if
we do not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one
domestic interested party by the 15day deadline, the Department will
automatically revoke the order without further review. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
If we receive an orderspecific notice of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, the Department's regulations provide
that all parties wishing to participate in the 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 orderspecific
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 the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements.\1\ Please consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews. Please consult the Department's regulations
at 19 CFR Part 351 for definitions of terms and for other general
information concerning antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings at the Department.
\1\ In comments made on the interim final sunset regulations, a
number of parties stated that the proposed fiveday period for
rebuttals to substantive responses to a notice of initiation was
insufficient. This requirement was retained in the final sunset
regulations at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(4). As provided in 19 CFR
351.302(b), however, the Department will consider individual
requests to extend that fiveday deadline based upon a showing of good cause.
This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218 (c).
June 23, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
