SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 5, 2018, Commerce published
the Preliminary Results and invited
comments from interested parties.1 No
interested party submitted comments.
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and (2) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the partial
federal government closure from
December 22, 2018, through the
resumption of operations on January 28,
2019.2 If the new deadline falls on a
non-business day, in accordance with
Commerce’s practice, the deadline will
become the next business day. The
revised deadline for the final results of
this review is now April 15, 2019.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, Commerce
determines that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists
for LGE for the period February 1, 2017,

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of
this administrative review.
Because we calculated a zero margin
for LGE in the final results of this
review, we intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties all shipments of subject
merchandise manufactured and
exported by LGE, entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption,
during the POR. In accordance with
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
practice, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by LGE 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.4
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for merchandise produced
and/or exported by LGE will be zero; (2)
for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not covered by this review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 11.80
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.5 These

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
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
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation,
which is subject to sanction.

notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Analysis of Comments Received

briefs. Appendix I to this notice
provides a list of the issues raised by
parties. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main

Issues and Decision Memorandum can

The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we made certain revisions to
the margin calculations for GGB,7 and to
the rate assigned to the non-examined,
separate rate respondents.8
Separate Rate Respondents
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that GGB and six other
companies demonstrated their eligibility
for separate rates. We received no
comments or argument since the
issuance of the Preliminary Results that
provide a basis for reconsideration of
these determinations. Therefore, for
these final results, we continue to find
that each of the companies listed in the
