Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in case briefs are listed in the appendix to this
notice and are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made
available to the public via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum is
available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Bona Fides Analysis
In the Preliminary Results, we found that TG Tools did not have a
bona fide sale of CTL plate during the POR. After analyzing comments
from interested parties, we continue to find that TG Tools did not have
a bona fide sale of CTL plate during the POR. We reached this
conclusion based on multiple factors, including: (1) The low quantity
and high price of the sale; (2) atypical timing of the sale; (3) the
excessive profit made by TG Tools' importer on the resale; and (4)
other considerations, such as the fact that TG Tools made only a single
sale of subject merchandise during the POR, which was a trial sale of a
specialty product, and TG Tools' importer had not previously purchased
the subject merchandise and made no subsequent purchases of the
specialty product or any other subject merchandise. Our analysis led us
to conclude that TG Tools' single POR sale is not representative of TG
Tools' typical selling practices for subject merchandise.
Because we have determined that TG Tools had no bona fide sales
during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review.
Assessment Rate
Because Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, we have
not calculated a company-specific dumping margin for TG Tools. TG Tools
remains part of the China-wide entity and the entry of its subject
merchandise during the POR will be assessed antidumping duties at the
China-wide entity rate. The China-wide entity rate is 68.27 percent.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-Length Plate from
the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 82 FR 8510 (January 26, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with its recent notice,\6\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue Liquidation
Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
As noted above, Commerce is rescinding this administrative review.
Thus, we have not calculated a company-specific dumping margin for TG
Tools. Therefore, entries of TG Tools' subject merchandise continue to
be subject to the China-wide entity cash deposit rate of 68.27 percent.
This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final 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 the POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
