Conduct of investigations and adminis- trative reviews (a) Treatment of voluntary responses in counter- vailing or antidumping duty investigations and reviews (1) In general In any investigation under part I or II of this subtitle or a review under section 1675(a) of this title in which the administering author- ity has, under section 1677f–1(c)(2) of this title or section 1677f–1(e)(2)(A) of this title (which- ever is applicable), limited the number of ex- porters or producers examined, or determined a single country-wide rate, the administering authority shall establish an individual countervailable subsidy rate or an individual weighted average dumping margin for any ex- porter or producer not initially selected for in- dividual examination under such sections who submits to the administering authority the in- formation requested from exporters or pro- ducers selected for examination, if— (A) such information is so submitted by the date specified— (i) for exporters and producers that were initially selected for examination, or (ii) for the foreign government, in a countervailing duty case where the admin- istering authority has determined a single country-wide rate; and (B) the number of exporters or producers subject to the investigation or review is not so large that any additional individual ex- amination of such exporters or producers would be unduly burdensome to the admin- istering authority and inhibit the timely completion of the investigation or review. (2) Determination of unduly burdensome In determining if an individual examination under paragraph (1)(B) would be unduly bur- densome, the administering authority may consider the following: (A) The complexity of the issues or infor- mation presented in the proceeding, includ- ing questionnaires and any responses there- to. (B) Any prior experience of the admin- istering authority in the same or similar proceeding. (C) The total number of investigations under part I or II and reviews under section 1675 of this title being conducted by the ad- ministering authority as of the date of the determination. (D) Such other factors relating to the timely completion of each such investiga- tion and review as the administering author- ity considers appropriate. (b) Certification of submissions Any person providing factual information to the administering authority or the Commission in connection with a proceeding under this sub- title on behalf of the petitioner or any other in- terested party shall certify that such informa- tion is accurate and complete to the best of that person’s knowledge. (c) Difficulties in meeting requirements (1) Notification by interested party If an interested party, promptly after receiv- ing a request from the administering author- ity or the Commission for information, noti- fies the administering authority or the Com- mission (as the case may be) that such party is unable to submit the information requested in the requested form and manner, together with a full explanation and suggested alter- native forms in which such party is able to submit the information, the administering au- thority or the Commission (as the case may be) shall consider the ability of the interested party to submit the information in the re- quested form and manner and may modify such requirements to the extent necessary to avoid imposing an unreasonable burden on that party. (2) Assistance to interested parties The administering authority and the Com- mission shall take into account any difficul- ties experienced by interested parties, particu- larly small companies, in supplying informa- tion requested by the administering authority or the Commission in connection with inves- tigations and reviews under this subtitle, and shall provide to such interested parties any as- sistance that is practicable in supplying such information. (d) Deficient submissions If the administering authority or the Commis- sion determines that a response to a request for information under this subtitle does not comply with the request, the administering authority or the Commission (as the case may be) shall promptly inform the person submitting the re- sponse of the nature of the deficiency and shall, to the extent practicable, provide that person with an opportunity to remedy or explain the deficiency in light of the time limits established for the completion of investigations or reviews under this subtitle. If that person submits fur- ther information in response to such deficiency and either— (1) the administering authority or the Com- mission (as the case may be) finds that such response is not satisfactory, or
