Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation
are common alloy aluminum sheet, which is
a flat-rolled aluminum product having a
thickness of 6.3 mm or less, but greater than
0.2 mm, in coils or cut-to-length, regardless
of width. Common alloy sheet within the
scope of this investigation includes both not
clad aluminum sheet, as well as multi-alloy,
clad aluminum sheet. With respect to not
clad aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is
manufactured from a 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or
5XXX-series alloy as designated by the
Aluminum Association. With respect to
multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, common
alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series
core, to which cladding layers are applied to
either one or both sides of the core. The use
of a proprietary alloy or non-proprietary alloy
that is not specifically registered by the
Aluminum Association as a discrete
1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloy, but that
otherwise has a chemistry that is consistent
with these designations, does not remove an
otherwise in-scope product from the scope.
Common alloy sheet may be made to
ASTM specification B209–14 but can also be
made to other specifications. Regardless of
specification, however, all common alloy
sheet meeting the scope description is
included in the scope. Subject merchandise
includes common alloy sheet that has been
further processed in a third country,
including but not limited to annealing,
tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming,
cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any
other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of
this investigation if performed in the country
of manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation is aluminum can stock, which
is suitable for use in the manufacture of
aluminum beverage cans, lids of such cans,
or tabs used to open such cans. Aluminum
can stock is produced to gauges that range
from 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm, and has an
H–19, H–41, H–48, H–39, or H–391 temper.
In addition, aluminum can stock has a
lubricant applied to the flat surfaces of the
can stock to facilitate its movement through
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
machines used in the manufacture of
beverage cans. Aluminum can stock is
properly classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings 7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055.
Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within the
scope if application of either the nominal or
actual measurement would place it within
the scope based on the definitions set for the
above.
Common alloy sheet is currently
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3096,
7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3095, 7606.91.6095,
7606.92.3035, and 7606.92.6095. Further,
merchandise that falls within the scope of
this investigation may also be entered into
the United States under HTSUS subheadings
7606.11.3030, 7606.12.3015, 7606.12.3025,
7606.12.3035, 7606.12.3091, 7606.91.3055,
7606.91.6055, 7606.92.3025, 7606.92.6055,
7607.11.9090. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 11.80 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.8 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (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/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.
Notice 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

Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after publication of these final results in
the Federal Register, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and
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 shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review.
We intend to calculate importer- (or customer-) specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for each importer's (or customer's) examined sales
and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific rate is zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
under review and for future cash deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results
of this review 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 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 respondents
noted above will be the rate established in the final results of this
administrative review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent
and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(I),
in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this administrative
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 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, a prior review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 11.80 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\8\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (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/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.
Notice 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.
Dated: March 2, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
