Disclosure of Calculations
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed for these final results 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)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce has 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.
Where the respondent did not report
entered value or reported amounts
based on average data, we calculated the
entered value in order to calculate the
assessment rate. Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
We further will instruct CBP to take into
account the ‘‘provisional measures
deposit cap,’’ in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(d). 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.6
Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was

respondents that were selected for individual
review, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis,

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.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
average of the cash deposit rates
calculated for NVR and OTS.7 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.8
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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for each specific
company listed above will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
that is established in the final results of
this review, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the cash
deposit rate established for the most
recently completed segment for the
producer of the subject merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 6.08 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.9
7 This
rate was calculated as discussed in footnote
5.

Notification to Importers
[A–423–812]
This notice serves as a 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.

Disclosure of Calculations
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results to parties in this proceeding within five days of the date of
publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ This rate is based on the rates for the respondents that
were selected for individual review, excluding rates that are zero,
de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. See section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has 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.
Where the respondent did not report entered value or reported
amounts based on average data, we calculated the entered value in order
to calculate the assessment rate. Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties. We further will instruct
CBP to take into account the ``provisional measures deposit cap,'' in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 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.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) 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.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the average of the cash deposit
rates calculated for NVR and OTS.\7\ 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.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ This rate was calculated as discussed in footnote 5.
\8\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for each specific
company listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin that is established in the final results of this review, except
if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within
the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit
rate will be zero; (2) for companies not participating in this review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash
deposit rate published for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 6.08 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\9\
[[Page 3028]]
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 return/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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
