Subject: Need to bring uniformity and comprehensiveness in Notes/Files
submitted for approval of initiation of trade remedy investigations.

It has been observed that the Initiation Notes submitted for approval by different
Investigating Teams vary significantly in terms of content as well as analysis of data.
Certain important data relating to overall performance of the Domestic Industry,
quantum and value of import of product under consideration as well as past history
of trade remedial measures are generally not mentioned in the Note. This sometimes
may affect quality of decision making.

2. Therefore, in order to bring uniformity and comprehensiveness in Notes / Files
submitted for initiation of trade remedy investigations by the respective investigation
teams, sample formats requiring tabular information are attached herewith for
submission along with each initiation proposal. The tabular formats will not only
capture the comprehension and interpretation of the detailed analyses by the
investigation team, but will also present at a glance summary information necessary
to have a holistic understanding of the specific aspects of initiation proposal.

3. In view of above, henceforth all Investigating Teams will ensure that fresh initiation
proposals invariably include the information in the prescribed formats too.
