Submission of Factual Information
Factual information is defined in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21) as: (i) Evidence
submitted in response to questionnaires;
(ii) evidence submitted in support of
allegations; (iii) publicly available
information to value factors under 19
CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR
351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed on
the record by Commerce; and (v)
evidence other than factual information
described in (i)–(iv). Section 351.301(b)
of Commerce’s regulations requires any
party, when submitting factual
information, to specify under which
subsection of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the
information is being submitted 34 and, if
the information is submitted to rebut,
clarify, or correct factual information
already on the record, to provide an
explanation identifying the information
already on the record that the factual
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or
correct.35 Time limits for the
submission of factual information are
addressed in 19 CFR 351.301, which
provides specific time limits based on
the type of factual information being
submitted. Interested parties should
review the regulations prior to
submitting factual information in this
investigation.

Extensions of Time Limits
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before the expiration of a
time limit established under 19 CFR
351.301, or as otherwise specified by
Commerce. In general, an extension
request will be considered untimely if it
is filed after the expiration of the time
limit established under 19 CFR 351.301.
For submissions that are due from
multiple parties simultaneously, an
extension request will be considered
untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. ET
on the due date. Under certain
circumstances, Commerce may elect to
specify a different time limit by which
extension requests will be considered
untimely for submissions which are due
from multiple parties simultaneously. In
such a case, Commerce will inform
parties in a letter or memorandum of the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. An extension
request must be made in a separate,
stand-alone submission; Commerce will
grant untimely filed requests for the
extension of time limits only in limited
cases where we determine, based on 19
CFR 351.302, that extraordinary
circumstances exist. Parties should

Certification Requirements
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information.37
Parties must use the certification
formats provided in 19 CFR
351.303(g).38 Commerce intends to

Appendix
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise subject to the
investigation is certified organic soybean
meal. Certified organic soybean meal results
from the mechanical pressing of certified
organic soybeans into ground products
known as soybean cake, soybean chips, or
soybean flakes, with or without oil residues.
Soybean cake is the product after the
extraction of part of the oil from soybeans.
Soybean chips and soybean flakes are
produced by cracking, heating, and flaking
soybeans and reducing the oil content of the
conditioned product. ‘‘Certified organic
soybean meal’’ is certified by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) National
Organic Program (NOP) or equivalently
certified to NOP standards or NOP-equivalent
standards under an existing organic
equivalency or recognition agreement.
Certified organic soybean meal subject to
this investigation has a protein content of 34
percent or higher.

final determinations, pursuant to
section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), that an industry
in the United States is materially
injured within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
LTFV imports of aluminum sheet from
Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South
Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey, and
its negative critical circumstances
finding with respect to dumped imports
of aluminum sheet from Indonesia.2
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are aluminum sheet from Bahrain,
Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania,
Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain,
Taiwan, and Turkey. For a complete
description of the scope of these orders,
see the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On April 20, 2021, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
determinations in these investigations,
in which it found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of aluminum sheet
from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South
Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey.3
Therefore, in accordance with section
735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is
issuing these antidumping duty orders.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of aluminum sheet from
Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South
Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey are
materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Bahrain, Brazil,
Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania,
Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain,
Taiwan, and Turkey, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed

With the exception of entries occurring
after the expiration of the provisional
measures period and before publication
of the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described
below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil,

Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional
Measures’’ section of this notice, in
accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of aluminum sheet from
Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South
Africa, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey.
These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to
require cash deposits equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins indicated in the tables below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
subject merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the rates listed below. The
relevant all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically
listed.
Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin is zero for
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Manaksia Aluminium
Company Limited, entries of shipments
of subject merchandise from this
producer/exporter combination are
excluded from the antidumping duty
order on subject merchandise from
India. Because the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin is zero for
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Laminazione Sottile S.p.A.,
entries of shipments of subject
merchandise from this producer/
exporter combination are excluded from

merchandise from Italy. These
exclusions will not be applicable to
merchandise exported to the United
States by these respondents in any other
producer/exporter combination or by
third parties that sourced subject
merchandise from the excluded
producer/exporter combinations.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of aluminum sheet from
Indonesia, we will instruct CBP to lift
suspension and to refund any cash
deposits made to secure the payment of
estimated antidumping duties with
respect to entries of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after July 17, 2020 (i.e., 90 days prior to
the date of the publication of the
Indonesia Preliminary Determination),
but before October 15, 2020 (i.e., the
date of publication of the Indonesia
Preliminary Determination).
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil,
Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania,
Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain,
Taiwan, and Turkey, Commerce
extended the four-month period to six
months in each of these investigations.
Commerce published the preliminary
determinations in these investigations
on October 15, 2020.5
The extended provisional measures
period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations, ends on April 12, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice,6
Commerce will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation

or Impol d.o.o. (Slovenia).
8 On April 8, 2020, Alro, SA and its affiliate
Vimetco Management Romania, SRL, notified
Commerce that ‘‘Vimetco Group’’ is not a legal
entity but that the name reflects a collection of
companies including Alro, SA. Additionally, Alro,
SA noted that its name is ‘‘Alro, SA’’ rather than
‘‘Alro, S.A.’’ as stated in the Initiation Notice. See
Alro, SA’s Letter, ‘‘Common Alloy Aluminum
Sheets from Romania, A–385–809; Clarification of
Company Names,’’ dated April 8, 2020. Given that
Vimetco Group is not a legal entity but refers to a
group of companies in which Alro, SA is the only
producer, seller, and exporter of aluminum sheet,
we have assigned the dumping rate to Alro, SA.

subject merchandise produced by Impol Seval and
exported by either Impol Seval (Serbia) or Impol

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders 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 these orders 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
these orders if performed in the country of
manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
Excluded from the scope of these orders 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.

deadline for the final results of this
administrative review is now April 30,
2021.2 Commerce conducted this review
in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is steel flanges. For a complete
description of the scope of the order, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties’
briefs are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum accompanying
this notice. A list of the issues raised by
interested parties, and to which
Commerce responded in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, is provided in
Appendix I to this notice. The Issues

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received and
record evidence, Commerce made
certain changes to the Preliminary
Results. These changes are explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Companies Not Selected for Individual
Review
For the companies not selected for
individual review, because the rates
calculated for Norma (India) Ltd.
(Norma) and R.N. Gupta & Co. Ltd
(RNG) are above de minimis and not
based entirely on facts available, we
applied a subsidy rate based on a
weighted-average of the subsidy rates
calculated for Norma and RNG using
publicly ranged sales data submitted by
the respondents.3 This is consistent
with the methodology that we would
use in an investigation to establish the
all-others rate, pursuant to section
705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are aluminum sheet from
Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and
Turkey. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see
the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On April 20, 2021, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,
the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States
is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum sheet from
Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and
Turkey.\3\ Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act,
Commerce is issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC
determined that imports of aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil,
Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania,
Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey are
materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain,
Taiwan, and Turkey, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia,
Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia,
Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey. With the exception
of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of aluminum sheet from Bahrain,
Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman,
Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after
October 15, 2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determinations.\4\

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section of this
notice, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce
will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant
entries of aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia,
South Africa, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the tables
below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the rates listed below. The relevant all-others rate
applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed.
Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin is zero for
subject merchandise produced and exported by Manaksia Aluminium Company
Limited, entries of shipments of subject merchandise from this
producer/exporter combination are excluded from the antidumping duty
order on subject merchandise from India. Because the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin is zero for subject merchandise
produced and exported by Laminazione Sottile S.p.A., entries of
shipments of subject merchandise from this producer/exporter
combination are excluded from the antidumping duty order on subject
merchandise from Italy. These exclusions will not be applicable to
merchandise exported to the United States by these respondents in any
other producer/exporter combination or by third parties that sourced
subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combinations.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances
determination on imports of aluminum sheet from Indonesia, we will
instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to
secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to
entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after July 17, 2020 (i.e., 90 days
prior to the date of the publication of the Indonesia Preliminary
Determination), but before October 15, 2020 (i.e., the date of
publication of the Indonesia Preliminary Determination).
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion
of aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia, Egypt, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain,
Taiwan, and Turkey, Commerce extended the four-month period to six
months in each of these investigations. Commerce published the
preliminary determinations in these investigations on October 15,
2020.\5\

Sheet from Indonesia and Romania: Postponement of Final
Determinations of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 85 FR 1049
(November 6, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations, ends on April 12, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice,\6\ Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of aluminum sheet from Bahrain, Brazil, Croatia,
Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Oman, Romania, Serbia,
Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption after April 12, 2021, the final day on
which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date
of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal
Register.

\7\ The final rate calculated for Impol applies to subject
merchandise produced by Impol-TLM d.o.o. and exported by either
Impol-TLM d.o.o. (Croatia) or Impol d.o.o. (Slovenia).
\8\ On April 8, 2020, Alro, SA and its affiliate Vimetco
Management Romania, SRL, notified Commerce that ``Vimetco Group'' is
not a legal entity but that the name reflects a collection of
companies including Alro, SA. Additionally, Alro, SA noted that its
name is ``Alro, SA'' rather than ``Alro, S.A.'' as stated in the
Initiation Notice. See Alro, SA's Letter, ``Common Alloy Aluminum
Sheets from Romania, A-385-809; Clarification of Company Names,''
dated April 8, 2020. Given that Vimetco Group is not a legal entity
but refers to a group of companies in which Alro, SA is the only
producer, seller, and exporter of aluminum sheet, we have assigned
the dumping rate to Alro, SA.
\9\ The final rate calculated for Impol applies to subject
merchandise produced by Impol Seval and exported by either Impol
Seval (Serbia) or Impol d.o.o. (Slovenia).
\10\ The final rate calculated for Impol applies to subject
merchandise produced by Impol FT, d.o.o. and exported by either
Impol FT, d.o.o. or Impol d.o.o.

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders 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 these
orders 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 these orders if performed in the
country of manufacture of the common alloy sheet.
Excluded from the scope of these orders 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 these orders 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 these orders is dispositive.
