Analysis

    In the Amended Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Fufeng 
was eligible for separate rate status and assigned it a dumping margin 
of zero percent, which is the dumping margin that Commerce calculated 
for both of the respondents individually examined in the review. As 
noted above, no parties commented on the Amended Preliminary Results.

and are adopting the decisions in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 
Specifically, we continue to find that Fufeng is eligible for separate

percent dumping margin that Commerce calculated for both of the 
respondents that it individually examined in the review.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will determine, and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by the 
amended final results of this review. Because Fufeng's weighted average 
dumping margin is zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\4\ Commerce 
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days 
after the date of publication of these amended final results of review 
in the Federal Register.\5\ 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).
