Respondent Selection Timelines

Notice of No Sales and Possible Rescission
If a producer or exporter had no exports, sales, or entries during the period of review (POR), it may notify Commerce within 30 days of publication of this initiation notice so Commerce can consider how to treat suspended entries and may rescind a review where there are no suspended entries.
Deadline to Withdraw Review Requests
A party that requested a review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the publication date of this initiation notice (Commerce may extend the 90‑day period on a case-by-case basis).
Particular Market Situation (PMS) Submission Timing
An interested party wishing to submit a particular market situation (PMS) allegation and supporting factual information under section 773(e) of the Tariff Act must do so no later than 20 days after submission of initial responses to section D of the questionnaire.
No Collapsing at Selection Phase Generally
Commerce will not perform company ‘collapsing’ analyses at the respondent-selection phase unless those companies were previously collapsed in a completed segment of the proceeding; if previously collapsed, Commerce will assume they remain collapsed for selection.
