Background
On October 15, 2020, Commerce
published in the Federal Register its
Preliminary Determination.1 On

VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:05 Mar 05, 2021
November 6, 2020, we postponed the
final determination until March 1,
2021.2 The petitioner in this
investigation is the Aluminum
Association Common Alloy Aluminum
Sheet Working Group and its individual
members: Aleris Rolled Products, Inc.;
Arconic, Inc.; Constellium Rolled
Products Ravenswood, LLC; JW
Aluminum Company; Novelis
Corporation; and Texarkana Aluminum,
Inc. (the petitioner). The mandatory
respondent in this investigation is Pt.
Alumindo Light Metal Industry Tbk (Pt.
Alumindo). We provided interested
parties an opportunity to comment on
the Preliminary Determination. We
received no comments. As such, this
final determination is unchanged from
the Preliminary Determination.
Commerce conducted this investigation
in accordance with section 733(b) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Jkt 253001
The products covered by this
investigation are common alloy
aluminum sheet from Indonesia. For a
complete description of the scope of this
investigation, see the Appendix to this
notice.
Scope Comments
During the course of this
investigation, Commerce received scope
comments from interested parties.
Commerce issued a Preliminary Scope
Decision Memorandum to address these
comments.3 We received comments
from interested parties on the
Preliminary Scope Decision
Memorandum, which we addressed in
the Final Scope Decision
Memorandum.4 Commerce is not
modifying the scope language as it
appeared in the Preliminary

Verification
Because the mandatory respondent in
this investigation did not provide
necessary information requested by
Commerce, we did not conduct
verification.
Changes Since the Preliminary
Determination and Use of Adverse
Facts Available
Commerce has made no changes to
the Preliminary Determination. As
stated in the Preliminary Determination,
we found that the application of facts
available with an adverse inference with
respect to the mandatory respondent,
i.e., Pt. Alumindo, was warranted, in
accordance with sections 776(a)(1),
776(a)(2)(A)-(C), and 776(b) of the Act.5
Final Determination of Critical
Circumstances
In the Preliminary Determination, we
preliminarily found that critical
circumstances exist with respect to
imports of subject merchandise from
Indonesia.6 Commerce received no
comments regarding this issue after the
Preliminary Determination. Thus, for
this final determination, we continue to
find that critical circumstances exist
with respect to imports of subject
merchandise from Indonesia.
All-Others Rate
As discussed in the Preliminary
Determination, in accordance with
section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act,
Commerce preliminarily determined the
estimated dumping margin for the
individually examined respondent (i.e.,
Pt. Alumindo) entirely under section
776 of the Act. Consequently, pursuant
to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, and
consistent with Commerce’s practice,
the all-others rate in the Preliminary
Determination was based on the only
dumping margin alleged in the petition
(i.e., 32.12 percent). No parties
commented on this issue and we made
no changes to the all-others rate for this
final determination.7
Final Determination
The final estimated weighted-average
dumping margins are as follows:

Disclosure
The estimated weighted-average
dumping margin assigned to the
mandatory respondent in this
investigation in the Preliminary
Determination was based on adverse
facts available, and Commerce described
the method it used to determine the
adverse facts available rate in the
Preliminary Determination. Because we
have made no changes to this margin
since the Preliminary Determination, no
disclosure of calculations is necessary
for this final determination.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
liquidation of all appropriate entries of
aluminum sheet from Indonesia, as
described in the ‘‘Scope of the
Investigation’’ section above, which are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after October 15,
2020, the date of publication in the
Federal Register of the affirmative
Preliminary Determination.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit
for such entries of merchandise equal to
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margin as follows: (1) The
cash deposit rate for the respondent
listed above will be equal to the
respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in
this final determination; (2) if the
exporter is not a respondent identified
above but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for
that producer of the subject
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers and
exporters will be equal to the all-others
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin. These suspension of liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until
further notice.

International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we will notify the International
Trade Commission (ITC) of the final
affirmative determination of sales at
LTFV. Because the final determination
in this proceeding is affirmative, in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with

material injury, by reason of imports, or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of common alloy aluminum
sheet from Indonesia no later than 45
days after our final determination. If the
ITC determines that material injury or
threat of material injury does not exist,
the proceeding will be terminated, and
all cash deposits will be refunded. If the
ITC determines that such injury does
exist, Commerce intends to issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP
to assess, upon further instruction by
Commerce, antidumping duties on all
imports of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
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). Timely
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 the terms of an APO is
a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
735(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.210(c).

Appendix—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 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.

Disclosure
The estimated weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the
mandatory respondent in this investigation in the Preliminary
Determination was based on adverse facts available, and Commerce
described the method it used to determine the adverse facts available
rate in the Preliminary Determination. Because we have made no changes
to this margin since the Preliminary Determination, no disclosure of
calculations is necessary for this final determination.
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of aluminum sheet from
Indonesia, as described in the ``Scope of the Investigation'' section
above, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption
on or after October 15, 2020, the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the affirmative Preliminary Determination.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(d), we will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit for such
entries of merchandise equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping
margin as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the respondent listed
above will be equal to the respondent-specific estimated weighted-
average dumping margin determined in this final determination; (2) if
the exporter is not a respondent identified above but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the respondent-specific
estimated weighted-average dumping margin established for that producer
of the subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated
weighted-average dumping margin. These suspension of liquidation
instructions will remain in effect until further notice.
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the
International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative
determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this
proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by reason of imports, or sales (or the
likelihood of sales) for importation of common alloy aluminum sheet
from Indonesia no later than 45 days after our final determination. If
the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury
does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated, and all cash
deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does
exist, Commerce intends to issue an antidumping duty order directing
CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties
on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the
suspension of liquidation.
