of doubled antidumping duties.

Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review. We will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication 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all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse,
[[Page 9755]]
for consumption on or after the date of publication, as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the
respondents noted above will be the rate established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers 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 producers or exporters will continue to
be 2.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the
investigation.\12\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
