Import Administration During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Reopening of Rebuttal Comment Period
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of reopening of rebuttal comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is reopening
the public comment period for the submission of rebuttal comments on
the Interim Final Rule on Certification of Factual Information to
Import Administration During Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings due to recent technical difficulties with filing comments
on the Federal eRulemaking Portal (``Portal'').
DATES: The submission period for public rebuttal comments is reopened
through July 14, 2011.
ADDRESSES: All rebuttal comments must be submitted through the Portal
at http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. ITA-2010-0007, unless the
commenter does not have access to the Internet. Commenters who do not
have access to the Internet may submit the original and two copies of
each set of comments by mail or hand delivery/courier. All rebuttal
comments should refer to RIN 0625-AA66 and should be addressed to
Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, Room 1870, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20230.
The Department will consider all rebuttal comments received before
the close of the reopened comment period.
[[Page 39771]]
The Department will not accept rebuttal comments accompanied by a
request that part or all of the material be treated confidentially
because of its business proprietary nature or for any other reason. All
comments will be a matter of public record and will be available for
inspection at Import Administration's Central Records Unit (Room 7046
of the Herbert C. Hoover Building) and on the Portal at
www.Regulations.gov and the Department's Web site at http://www.trade.gov/ia/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca Cantu, Attorney, Office of the
General Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel for Import Administration, or
Myrna Lobo, International Trade Compliance Analyst, Office 6, Import
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC 20230, 202-482-4618 or 202-482-2371, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Interim Final Rule for the Certification
of Factual Information to Import Administration During Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings (``Interim Final Rule'') published on
February 10, 2011 (76 FR 7491). In the notice announcing the Interim
Final Rule, the Department stated that comments would be accepted until
May 11, 2011 and rebuttal comments until June 27, 2011. Due to
technical difficulties with the Portal, several interested parties were
unable to submit their rebuttal comments within the established
rebuttal comment filing period.
Based on these circumstances, the Department is reopening the
rebuttal period through July 14, 2011, to provide interested parties an
opportunity to file their rebuttal comments. The Department will accept
rebuttal comments filed no later than July 14, 2011 and does not intend
to consider any further extensions to the rebuttal comment period. The
Department requests that those parties who previously submitted
rebuttal comments refile their rebuttal comments during this period to
ensure that the Department receives all rebuttal comments. The
Department notes that the established period for submitting affirmative
comments ended May 11, 2011 and was not extended. As such, this notice
serves to extend the period for submission of rebuttal comments only;
any new affirmative comments will not be accepted by the Department.
Requirements for On-Line Submissions

comments, the Department's International Trade Administration requires
