Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and CBP shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 96 / Friday, May 17, 2019 / Notices
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce clarified its ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003.7
This clarification applies to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by a respondent for which it
did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers 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 publication of the
final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if that rate is de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above
in the Preliminary Results of Review,
including those for which Commerce
may determine had no shipments
during the POR, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
a full discussion of this clarification, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954
(May 6, 2003).
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previously
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
‘‘all-others’’ rate of 15.67 percent
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.8 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(4).

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
Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS. An electronically filed
document must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5
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 by each party in their respective case brief. 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, unless extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and CBP shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero
or
[[Page 22452]]
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
an importer's examined sales and the total entered value of such sales
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on May
6, 2003.\7\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by a respondent for which it did
not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such
instances, 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.

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue 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 for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review (except, if that rate
is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above in the
Preliminary Results of Review, including those for which Commerce may
determine had no shipments during the POR, 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 or another completed segment of this
proceeding, but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67 percent established in
the less-than-fair-value investigation.\8\ These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: May 10, 2019.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
