Title: ●Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Documents Submission Procedures; APO Procedures 
Abstract: The Department of Commerce ("the Department") proposes to amend its regulations in antidumping ("AD") and countervailing duty ("CVD") proceedings governing information submitted to the Department and administrative protective orders. Specifically, the Department proposes to amend its regulations as follows: (1) to reflect a transfer in the function of receiving submissions filed in D/CVD proceedings from the Central Records Unit to the Administrative Protective Order ("APO") Unit, and to change the name of the APO Unit to APO/Dockets Unit; (2) to reflect a transfer in the function of maintaining public service lists from the Central Records Unit to the APO/Dockets Unit; (3) to update the definition of "Customs Service" to reflect the reorganization of the Executive Branch; (4) to clarity that documents filed with the Department will only be time stamped when appropriate, for example, when an interested party submits a request for treatment as a voluntary respondent; (5) to clarify when a part must serve business proprietary information already on the administrative record to new authorized applicants to the APO; (6) to require a formal letter of appearance to request being placed on the service list of any segment of an AD/CVD proceeding; (7) to clarify when a party is to be considered an "interested party" for the purposes of the APO; and (8) to require importers to submit documentary evidence to confirm their status as an interested party, and thus eligibility for APO access. Finally, the Department proposes amending its short form application for an APO (Form ITA-367).
