Procedures for Conducting Five-Year (“Sunset”) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

概要

The Department of Commerce ("the Department") is amending its regulations related to sunset reviews to conform the existing regulation to the United States' obligations under Articles 6.1, 6.2, and 11.3 of the Agreement on the Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("Antidumping Agreement"). The regulations amend the "waiver" provisions which govern treatment of interested parties who do not provide a substantive response to the Department's notice of initiation of a sunset review and clarify the basis for parties' participation in a public hearing in an expedited sunset review.
