Ryan Majerus, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, Performing the Non-Exclusive Functions and Duties of The Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by these orders is aluminum foil having a thickness of 0.2 mm or less, in reels exceeding 25 pounds, regardless of width. Aluminum foil is made from an aluminum alloy that contains more than 92 percent aluminum. Aluminum foil may be made to ASTM specification ASTM B479, but can also be made to other specifications. Regardless of specification, however, all aluminum foil meeting the scope description is included in the scope, including aluminum foil to which lubricant has been applied to one or both sides of the foil. Excluded from the scope of these orders is aluminum foil that is backed with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar backing materials on one side or both sides of the aluminum foil, as well as etched capacitor foil and aluminum foil that is cut to shape. 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 forth above. The products under these orders are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7607.11.3000, 7607.11.6090, 7607.11.9030, 7607.11.9060, 7607.11.9090, and 7607.19.6000. Further, merchandise that falls within the scope of these proceedings may also be entered into the United States under HTSUS subheadings 7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3045, 7606.12.3055, 7606.12.3091, 7606.12.3096, 7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3095, 7606.91.6095, 7606.92.3035, and 7606.92.6095.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 8, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the 2019– 2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain coldrolled steel flat products (cold-rolled steel) from the United Kingdom.1 This administrative review covers one producer or exporter of the subject merchandise, Liberty Performance Steels, Ltd. (Liberty). We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.2 No party submitted comments. On August 9, 2021, AK Steel Corporation (AK Steel, a domestic producer and one of the companies which comprised the original petitioner group) requested that a hearing be held in this review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c). On September 15, 2021, AK Steel withdrew its request.3 Commerce conducted this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The products covered by this Order 4 are certain cold-rolled (cold-reduced), flat-rolled steel products, whether or not annealed, painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic substances. The products covered do not include those that are clad, plated, or coated with metal. The products covered include coils that have a width or other lateral measurement (‘‘width’’) of 12.7 mm or greater, regardless of form 1 See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the United Kingdom: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019– 2020, 86 FR 36095 (July 8, 2021) (Preliminary Results). 2 Id. 3 See AK Steel’s Letters, ‘‘Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the United Kingdom/Petitioner’s Request for a Hearing,’’ dated August 9, 2021; and ‘‘Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the United Kingdom/Petitioner’s Withdrawal of Its Hearing Request,’’ dated September 15, 2021. 4 See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from Brazil, India, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determinations for Brazil and the United Kingdom and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 64432 (September 20, 2016) (Order).

The products covered also include products not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width that is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures at least 10 times the thickness. The products covered also include products not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a width exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least twice the thickness. The products described above may be rectangular, square, circular, or other shape and include products of either rectangular or non-rectangular crosssection where such cross-section is achieved subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., products which have been ‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products which have been beveled or rounded at the edges). For purposes of the width and thickness requirements referenced above: (1) 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 forth above, and (2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product (e.g., the thickness of certain products with nonrectangular cross-section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape, etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies. Steel products included in the scope of this Order are products in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated: • 2.50 percent of manganese, or • 3.30 percent of silicon, or • 1.50 percent of copper, or • 1.50 percent of aluminum, or • 1.25 percent of chromium, or • 0.30 percent of cobalt, or • 0.40 percent of lead, or • 2.00 percent of nickel, or • 0.30 percent of tungsten (also called wolfram), or • 0.80 percent of molybdenum, or • 0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or • 0.30 percent of vanadium, or • 0.30 percent of zirconium. Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this scope regardless of levels of boron and titanium. For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free (IF)) steels, high strength E:\FR\FM\12NON1.SGM 12NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 216 / Friday, November 12, 2021 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 low alloy (HSLA) steels, motor lamination steels, Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), and Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS). IF steels are recognized as low carbon steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as titanium and/or niobium added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. Motor lamination steels contain microalloying levels of elements such as silicon and aluminum. AHSS and UHSS are considered high tensile strength and high elongation steels, although AHSS and UHSS are covered whether or not they are high tensile strength or high elongation steels. Subject merchandise includes coldrolled steel 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 the Order if performed in the country of manufacture of the cold-rolled steel. All products that meet the written physical description, and in which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted element levels listed above, are within the scope of the Order unless specifically excluded. The following products are outside of and/ or specifically excluded from the scope of the Order: • Ball bearing steels; 5 • Tool steels; 6 • Silico-manganese steel; 7 5 Ball bearing steels are defined as steels which contain, in addition to iron, each of the following elements by weight in the amount specified: (i) Not less than 0.95 nor more than 1.13 percent of carbon; (ii) not less than 0.22 nor more than 0.48 percent of manganese; (iii) none, or not more than 0.03 percent of sulfur; (iv) none, or not more than 0.03 percent of phosphorus; (v) not less than 0.18 nor more than 0.37 percent of silicon; (vi) not less than 1.25 nor more than 1.65 percent of chromium; (vii) none, or not more than 0.28 percent of nickel; (viii) none, or not more than 0.38 percent of copper; and (ix) none, or not more than 0.09 percent of molybdenum. 6 Tool steels are defined as steels which contain the following combinations of elements in the quantity by weight respectively indicated: (i) More than 1.2 percent carbon and more than 10.5 percent chromium; or (ii) not less than 0.3 percent carbon and 1.25 percent or more but less than 10.5 percent chromium; or (iii) not less than 0.85 percent carbon and 1 percent to 1.8 percent, inclusive, manganese; or (iv) 0.9 percent to 1.2 percent, inclusive, chromium and 0.9 percent to 1.4 percent, inclusive, molybdenum; or (v) not less than 0.5 percent carbon and not less than 3.5 percent molybdenum; or (vi) not less than 0.5 percent carbon and not less than 5.5 percent tungsten. 7 Silico-manganese steel is defined as steels containing by weight: (i) Not more than 0.7 percent of carbon; (ii) 0.5 percent or more but not more than VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Nov 10, 2021 Jkt 256001 • Grain-oriented electrical steels (GOES) as defined in the final determination of the U.S. Department of Commerce in Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From Germany, Japan, and Poland.8 • Non-Oriented Electrical Steels (NOES), as defined in the antidumping orders issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce in Non-Oriented Electrical Steel From the People’s Republic of China, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan.9 The products subject to the Order are currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheadings: 7209.15.0000, 7209.16.0030, 7209.16.0060, 7209.16.0070, 7209.16.0091, 7209.17.0030, 7209.17.0060, 7209.17.0070, 7209.17.0091, 7209.18.1530, 7209.18.1560, 7209.18.2510, 7209.18.2520, 7209.18.2580, 7209.18.6020, 7209.18.6090, 7209.25.0000, 7209.26.0000, 7209.27.0000, 7209.28.0000, 7209.90.0000, 7210.70.3000, 7211.23.1500, 7211.23.2000, 7211.23.3000, 7211.23.4500, 7211.23.6030, 7211.23.6060, 7211.23.6090, 7211.29.2030, 7211.29.2090, 7211.29.4500, 7211.29.6030, 7211.29.6080, 7211.90.0000, 7212.40.1000, 7212.40.5000, 7225.50.6000, 7225.50.8080, 7225.99.0090, 1.9 percent of manganese, and (iii) 0.6 percent or more but not more than 2.3 percent of silicon. 8 See Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel from Germany, Japan, and Poland: Final Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Certain Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 79 FR 42501, 42503 (July 22, 2014). This determination defines grain-oriented electrical steel as ‘‘a flat-rolled alloy steel product containing by weight at least 0.6 percent but not more than 6 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other element in an amount that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel, in coils or in straight lengths.’’ 9 See Non-Oriented Electrical Steel from the People’s Republic of China, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan: Antidumping Duty Orders, 79 FR 71741, 71741–42 (December 3, 2014). The orders define NOES as ‘‘cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel products, whether or not in coils, regardless of width, having an actual thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which the core loss is substantially equal in any direction of magnetization in the plane of the material. The term ‘substantially equal’ means that the cross grain direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the straight grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of core loss. NOES has a magnetic permeability that does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested at a field of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e., parallel to) the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES contains by weight more than 1.00 percent of silicon but less than 3.5 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, and not more than 1.5 percent of aluminum.

The HTSUS subheadings above are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs purposes only. The written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive. Final Results of Review As noted above, Commerce received no comments concerning the Preliminary Results. As there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary Results, Commerce finds that there is no reason to modify its analysis and calculations. Accordingly, we adopt the analysis and explanation in our Preliminary Results for the purposes of these final results of review and we have not prepared an Issues and Decision Memorandum to accompany this Federal Register notice. In addition, we find that the final weighted-average dumping margin of 8.65 percent exists for entries of subject merchandise that were produced or exported by Liberty Performance Steels, Ltd. during the POR. Assessment Rates Commerce intends to determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 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). For Liberty, we calculated importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined E:\FR\FM\12NON1.SGM 12NON1 62786 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 216 / Friday, November 12, 2021 / Notices sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).10 Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without reference to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Liberty for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to 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.11 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of cold-rolled steel from the United Kingdom entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Liberty will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed above for the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this review, but covered in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 22.58 percent, the all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.12 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the calculations performed in connection with a final results of review within five days after 10 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 Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). 11 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 12 See Order, 81 FR at 64434.

Notification to Importers This notice 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 this review period. 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 order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under the 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 Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: November 5, 2021.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this Order \4\ are certain cold-rolled 
(cold-reduced), flat-rolled steel products, whether or not annealed, 
painted, varnished, or coated with plastics or other non-metallic 
substances. The products covered do not include those that are clad, 
plated, or coated with metal. The products covered include coils that 
have a width or other lateral measurement (``width'') of 12.7 mm or 
greater, regardless of form of coil (e.g., in successively superimposed 
layers, spirally oscillating, etc.). The products covered also include 
products not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness less 
than 4.75 mm and a width that is 12.7 mm or greater and that measures 
at least 10 times the thickness. The products covered also include 
products not in coils (e.g., in straight lengths) of a thickness of 
4.75 mm or more and a width exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least 
twice the thickness. The products described above may be rectangular, 
square, circular, or other shape and include products of either 
rectangular or non-rectangular cross-section where such cross-section 
is achieved subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., products which 
have been ``worked after rolling'' (e.g., products which have been 
beveled or rounded at the edges). For purposes of the width and 
thickness requirements referenced above:

2016) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) 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 forth above, and
    (2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product 
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape, 
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
    Steel products included in the scope of this Order are products in 
which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other 
contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 
weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity, 
by weight, respectively indicated:
     2.50 percent of manganese, or
     3.30 percent of silicon, or
     1.50 percent of copper, or
     1.50 percent of aluminum, or
     1.25 percent of chromium, or
     0.30 percent of cobalt, or
     0.40 percent of lead, or
     2.00 percent of nickel, or
     0.30 percent of tungsten (also called wolfram), or
     0.80 percent of molybdenum, or
     0.10 percent of niobium (also called columbium), or
     0.30 percent of vanadium, or
     0.30 percent of zirconium.
    Unless specifically excluded, products are included in this scope 
regardless of levels of boron and titanium.
    For example, specifically included in this scope are vacuum 
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-free 
(IF)) steels, high strength

[[Page 62785]]

low alloy (HSLA) steels, motor lamination steels, Advanced High 
Strength Steels (AHSS), and Ultra High Strength Steels (UHSS). IF 
steels are recognized as low carbon steels with micro-alloying levels 
of elements such as titanium and/or niobium added to stabilize carbon 
and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels are recognized as steels with micro-
alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper, niobium, 
titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. Motor lamination steels contain 
micro-alloying levels of elements such as silicon and aluminum. AHSS 
and UHSS are considered high tensile strength and high elongation 
steels, although AHSS and UHSS are covered whether or not they are high 
tensile strength or high elongation steels.
    Subject merchandise includes cold-rolled steel 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 the Order if 
performed in the country of manufacture of the cold-rolled steel.
    All products that meet the written physical description, and in 
which the chemistry quantities do not exceed any one of the noted 
element levels listed above, are within the scope of the Order unless 
specifically excluded. The following products are outside of and/or 
specifically excluded from the scope of the Order:

     Grain-oriented electrical steels (GOES) as defined in the 
final determination of the U.S. Department of Commerce in Grain-
Oriented Electrical Steel From Germany, Japan, and Poland.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel from Germany, Japan, and 
Poland: Final Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Certain Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 
79 FR 42501, 42503 (July 22, 2014). This determination defines 
grain-oriented electrical steel as ``a flat-rolled alloy steel 
product containing by weight at least 0.6 percent but not more than 
6 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, not more 
than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other element in an amount that 
would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy steel, in 
coils or in straight lengths.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Non-Oriented Electrical Steels (NOES), as defined in the 
antidumping orders issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce in Non-
Oriented Electrical Steel From the People's Republic of China, Germany, 
Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Non-Oriented Electrical Steel from the People's Republic 
of China, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan: 
Antidumping Duty Orders, 79 FR 71741, 71741-42 (December 3, 2014). 
The orders define NOES as ``cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel 
products, whether or not in coils, regardless of width, having an 
actual thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which the core loss is 
substantially equal in any direction of magnetization in the plane 
of the material. The term `substantially equal' means that the cross 
grain direction of core loss is no more than 1.5 times the straight 
grain direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of core loss. NOES has 
a magnetic permeability that does not exceed 1.65 Tesla when tested 
at a field of 800 A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along (i.e., 
parallel to) the rolling direction of the sheet (i.e., B800 value). 
NOES contains by weight more than 1.00 percent of silicon but less 
than 3.5 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, 
and not more than 1.5 percent of aluminum. NOES has a surface oxide 
coating, to which an insulation coating may be applied.''

Final Results of Review

    As noted above, Commerce received no comments concerning the 
Preliminary Results. As there are no changes from, or comments upon, 
the Preliminary Results, Commerce finds that there is no reason to 
modify its analysis and calculations. Accordingly, we adopt the 
analysis and explanation in our Preliminary Results for the purposes of 
these final results of review and we have not prepared an Issues and 
Decision Memorandum to accompany this Federal Register notice. In 
addition, we find that the final weighted-average dumping margin of 
8.65 percent exists for entries of subject merchandise that were 
produced or exported by Liberty Performance Steels, Ltd. during the 
POR.

Assessment Rates

    Commerce intends to determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 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).
    For Liberty, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on 
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for 
each importer's examined

[[Page 62786]]

sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\10\ Where an importer-specific assessment rate is de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer 
will be liquidated without reference to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 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 Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 
FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Liberty for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for 
the United States, we intend to 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.\11\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of cold-rolled steel from the United Kingdom entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of the final results of this administrative review in the 
Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The 
cash deposit rate for Liberty will be equal to the weighted-average 
dumping margin listed above for the final results of this 
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not 
covered in this review, but covered in the most recently completed 
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or 
the original investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit 
rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most 
recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to 
be 22.58 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Order, 81 FR at 64434.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review 
within five days after public announcement of final results.\13\ 
However, because Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, there are no revised 
calculations to disclose for the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice 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 this review period. 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 order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the 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 Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 5, 2021.
