The Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (A CDSOA)was enacted
on October 28,2000,as part of the Agriculture,Rural Development,Food and Drug
Administration,and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,2001 (“Act ”).The provisions
of the CDSOA are contained in Title X (sections 1001 -1003)of the Act.
The CDSOA,in section 1003 of the Act,amended Title VII of the Tariff Act of
1930,by adding a new section 754 (codified at 19 U.S.C.1675c)in order to provide that
assessed duties received pursuant to a countervailing duty order,an antidumping
duty order,or an antidumping duty finding under the Antidumping Act of 1921,must be
distributed to affected domestic producers for certain qualifying expenditures that these
producers incur after the issuance of such an order or finding. The term “affected
domestic producer ” means any manufacturer,,producer,farmer,rancher or worker
representative (including associations of such persons)that -
(A)Was a petitioner or interested party in support of a petition with respect to
which an antidumping order,a finding under the Antidumping Act of 1921,or a
countervailing duty order has been entered,and
(B)Remains in operation.
The distribution that these parties may receive is known as the continued
dumping and subsidy offset.
Customs published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register
(66 FR 33920)on June 26,2001,to implement the provisions of the CDSOA.Today =s
Federal Register notice,required by 19 U.S.C.1675c(d)(2),is being issued before a
final rule is adopted to provide sufficient opportunity for affected domestic producers to
gather the information that might be needed to submit claims to receive distributions. |
