the issue, (2) a brief summary of the
from Portugal; 2015–2017,’’ dated concurrently

Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed
using ACCESS.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing must submit a written request to
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. An electronically filed
document must be received successfully
in its entirety by Commerce’s electronic
records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time within 30 days after the
date of publication of this notice.
Requests should contain: (1) The party’s
name, address and telephone number;
(2) the number of participants; and (3)
a list of issues to be discussed. Issues
raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case
briefs. Commerce intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any
written briefs, not later than 120 days
after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. If Navigator’s weight-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we
will calculate an importer-specific ad
valorem antidumping duty assessment
rate based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is not zero or de minimis. If
Navigator’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties. The final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by this review
where applicable.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Navigator for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the

the transaction. We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of
this review.

Notification to Importers
South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council; Public Meetings

reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s

increase the subsequent assessment of
the antidumping duties by the amount
of the antidumping duties
reimbursement.

Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and

duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. If
Navigator's weight-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis

ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rate based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to

entries of merchandise covered by this review where applicable.
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Navigator
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Navigator will
be the rate established in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 7.80 percent, the all-others rate
established in the investigation.\4\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
