regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the

duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.

to parties subject to the administrative
protective order (APO) of their

continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. 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

violation which is subject to sanction.

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce has
preliminarily relied upon facts otherwise available with adverse
inferences (AFA) for APRIL, because this respondent notified Commerce
that it would not participate in the review.
For a complete explanation of the methodology and analysis
underlying the preliminary application of AFA, see the accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary 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 to all parties in the Central Records
Unit, room B8024 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum
and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision
[[Page 60381]]
Memorandum are identical in content. A list of the topics discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this
notice.

announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b). However, there are no calculations to disclose here

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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
an 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 or 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.
