International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 735d of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission ITC of our final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. We will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an administrative protective order APO, without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735b2 of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of subject merchandise from China no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all cash deposits posted will be refunded.
If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an AD
order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders This notice will serve as a reminder to the parties subject to administrative protective order APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305a3. Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 735d and 777i1 of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.210c.
Dated: December 28, 2020.
