Antidumping Methodologies in Proceedings Involving Non-Market Economies: Valuing the Factor of Production: Labor
This notice addresses the methodology used by the Department of Commerce ("the Department") to value the cost of labor in non- market economy ("NME") countries. After reviewing all comments received on the Department's interim, industry-specific wage calculation methodology that is currently applied in NME antidumping proceedings, the Department has determined that the single surrogate- country approach is best. In addition, the Department has decided to use International Labor Organization ("ILO") Yearbook Chapter 6A as its primary source of labor cost data in NME antidumping proceedings.
