entries. Where an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice,7 for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Al Jazeera for
which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, 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.
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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Al Jazeera will be the
rate established in the final results of
this administrative review, as noted
above; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers 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 investigation, but the
manufacturer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 7.36
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.8 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement

Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder

responsibility concerning the return or

Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed the issues raised in the parties' case and rebuttal
briefs in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues
raised by parties is provided in the appendix to this notice. The
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on-file
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and

addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we have
recalculated the weighted-average dumping margin for Al Jazeera.\4\

\4\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum; see also Memorandum,
``Final Results Margin Calculation for Al Jazeera Steel Products

Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce shall determine 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.\5\ 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 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).

For Al Jazeera, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value
of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If any
importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the final results are
above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), Commerce will issue
instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on
appropriate entries. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,\7\
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Al
Jazeera for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for
the United States, 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.

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)
of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Al Jazeera will be the rate
established in the final results of this administrative review, as
noted above; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers 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 investigation, but the
manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 7.36 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement
[[Page 18515]]
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.
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).
Dated: April 5, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
