Duty Orders, 63 FR 13516 (March 20, 1998) and 70 FR 62061 (October
28, 2005). Guidance on methodological or analytical issues relevant to
the Department's conduct of Sunset Reviews is set forth in the
Department's Policy Bulletin 98.3--Policies Regarding the Conduct of
Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders: Policy Bulletin, 63 FR 18871 (April 16, 1998).
Initiation of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(c), we are initiating the Sunset
Review of the following antidumping duty orders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ In the sunset initiation notice that published on June 2, 2010 (75 FR 30777), the case number listed for Carboxymethylcellulose from Sweden was
incorrect. The case number listed above is the correct number for that case. This notice serves only to correct the case number. The initiation
remains in effect as of June 2, 2010.
Filing Information
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 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
[[Page 39495]]
and eligibility to receive access to business proprietary information
under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.
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. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
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 15-day deadline, the
Department will automatically revoke the order without further review.
See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
If we receive an order-specific 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 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 the Department's information requirements are distinct
from the Commission's information requirements. Please consult the
Department's regulations for information regarding the Department's
conduct of Sunset Reviews.\2\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In comments made on the interim final sunset regulations, a
number of parties stated that the proposed five-day 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 five-day 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).
Dated: June 23, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
