Determining and Applying Unaffiliated Reseller Assessment Rates; Modification or Removal of Countervailing Duty Expedited Reviews

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

Advanced notice of proposed rulemaking.

Enforcement and Compliance (E&C), part of the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce), administers the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) trade remedy laws of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce is seeking public comment as it considers revising, and potentially codifying in its regulations, its current policy of assessing entries of subject merchandise exported by unaffiliated resellers at the all-others rate determined in a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation rather than at the rate calculated for an examined producer of that merchandise in an administrative review. In addition, Commerce is considering modifying or removing regulations providing for the conduct of an expedited administrative review following the conclusion of a CVD investigation.
