Utility Scale Wind Towers From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Notice of Amended Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 
2016-2017

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Commerce.

DATES: Effective May 31, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Trisha Tran, AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the amended final determination and antidumping duty order of 
this underlying investigation, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) determined that CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd., and CS Wind 
Corporation are a single entity: The CS Wind Group.\1\ On March 16, 
2017, the United States Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its 
final judgment, sustaining the Department's final results of 
redetermination concerning the less-than-fair value investigation of 
utility scale wind towers (wind towers) from the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam (Vietnam).\2\ On March 29, 2017, pursuant to that Court 
decision, effective March 26, 2017, the Department excluded from the 
antidumping duty order wind towers that are produced and exported by 
The CS Wind Group.\3\

Vietnam: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 77 FR 
75984 (December 26, 2012), as amended by Utility Scale Wind Towers 
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended Final Determination 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 78 FR 
11150, 11152 (February 15, 2013) (Wind Towers Amended Final 
Determination)(where the Department stated, ``The CS Wind Group 
consists of CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd. and CS Wind Corporation.'').

United States, Slip Op. 17-26 (CIT 2017).
    \3\ See Utility Scale Wind Towers from the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony with the Final 
Determination of Less Than Fair Value Investigation and Notice of 
Amended Final Determination of Investigation, 82 FR 15493 (March 29, 
2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment to the Initiation

    On April 10, 2017, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wind 
towers from Vietnam for the period February 1, 2016, through January 
31, 2017.\4\ In the Initiation Notice, the Department inadvertently 
initiated an administrative review on all entries of merchandise 
exported by CS Wind Group. Because wind towers that are produced and 
exported by CS Wind Group were excluded from the antidumping duty order 
on wind towers from Vietnam effective March 26, 2017, the Department 
should only have initiated the administrative review on wind towers 
produced in Vietnam with respect to the CS Wind Group where CS Wind 
Group was (1) the producer but not the exporter, or (2) the exporter 
but not the producer. To correct this error in the Initiation Notice, 
the Department is now issuing this notice of amended initiation of the 
2016-2017 antidumping duty administrative review of wind towers from 
Vietnam with respect to the CS Wind Group. The Department is initiating 
an administrative review only on entries where CS Wind Group was (1) 
the producer but not the exporter, or (2) the exporter but not the 
producer of subject merchandise. The initiation with respect to Vina 
Halla Heavy Industries Ltd. and UBI Tower Sole Member Company Ltd., 
remains unchanged.

Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 17188 (April 10, 2017) (Initiation 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a 
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
Initiation Notice was published on April 10, 2017. Accordingly, the 
current deadline for withdrawal of request for this administrative 
review is July 10, 2017.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 90 days after the publication of the Initiation Notice would 
place the deadline on a Sunday, July 9, 2017. The Department's 
practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend or 
federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. 
See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' 
Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the 
Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
