Pantech’s entries that do contain
finished or unfinished BWPF from
China, if any, will be assessed at the
China-wide rate of 182.90 percent.14
After reviewing the reasons outlined
in the requests, Commerce determined
that it was reasonable to extend the
deadline for parties to withdraw a
request for review to July 29, 2019,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).15 On
July 25, 2019, Silbo, Allied, and Pantech
separately withdrew each of their
requests for an administrative review of
the Order.16 No other parties requested
an administrative review of Pantech.
Additionally, the petitioners have not
raised any concerns regarding these
withdrawal requests, nor submitted any
further comments on the information
that Pantech submitted to the record.
Rescission of Review
As discussed above, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce
considered the interested parties’
requests to extend the deadline to
withdraw their requests for a review of
Pantech, and, based on the reasons
provided by the parties and the
circumstances presented, determined
that it was reasonable to extend the
deadline.17 Once the extension was
granted, each interested party separately
withdrew their review requests for
Pantech and requested a rescission of
administrative review of the Order.18
There are no remaining requests for an
administrative review of the Order.

table of authorities.10 Case and rebuttal
briefs should be filed using ACCESS.11
In order to be properly filed, ACCESS
must successfully receive an
electronically-filed document in its
entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on the

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, within 30 days after the date
of publication of this notice. Requests

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results in
this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If Ercros’ weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer- or customerspecific ad valorem assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer/
customer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the 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 importerspecific assessment rate calculated in
the final results of this review is above
de minimis. Where the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate 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 the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
respondent for which it did not know
that 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 instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of
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 company
under review will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review, except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), no
cash deposit will be required; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, 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-than-fair-value
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 is 24.83 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
This notice also 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
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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, 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 and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a date
and time to be determined.
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 and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results in this administrative review,
Commerce shall determine, and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Ercros' weighted-average dumping margin
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate importer- or customer-
specific ad valorem assessment rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the importer/customer's examined sales
and the total entered value of the 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 above
de minimis. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, 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. The final results of this review
shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries
of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the
respondent for which it did not know that 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 instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
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 company
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review, except, if the rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), no cash deposit will be required; (2) for previously reviewed
or investigated
[[Page 42900]]
companies not listed above, 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-than-fair-value 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 is 24.83 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
This notice also 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 results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 8, 2019.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
