location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
The Department intends to publish
the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its
analysis of issues addressed in any case
or rebuttal brief, no later than 120 days
after publication of these preliminary
results, unless extended.10
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.11 If respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for an
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of such sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
If respondents’ weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any
of its entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin
of dumping for the exporter is
determined to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 12
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
