Separate Rate Certifications/Applications for China and Vietnam
All firms listed in the Commerce notice that wish to either retain or receive separate-rate status in the administrative reviews involving non-market economy (NME) countries (e.g., China and Vietnam) must complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Certification or a Separate Rate Application to demonstrate independence from government control. Otherwise, they will be assigned the usually high country-wide rate. Certifications are due 30 calendar days after the publication of the notice (i.e., on or about Oct. 12). Rate Certifications and the Separate Rate Status Applications are at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement.
Notices of No Sales During 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., on or about Oct. 12. Commerce will consider rescinding the review for the producer or exporter. If Commerce rescinds the review for a company, then subject merchandise from that company will continue to enter at AD or CV duty cash deposit rates set in previous reviews.

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. Respondent selection will be made within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register notice, i.e., by Oct. 12.
