Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 48 / Friday, March 11, 2022 / Notices
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. 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).
Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.14 For entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales
database submitted by an exporter
individually examined during this
review, but that entered under the case
number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter’s cash
deposit rate), Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate (i.e., 76.46 percent).15
For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.5 percent), we will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for
each importer’s examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
For respondents not individually
examined in this administrative review
that qualified for a separate rate, the
assessment rate will be the dumping
margin assigned to the mandatory
respondent in the final results of this
review.
For the respondents not eligible for a
separate rate and that are part of the
China-wide entity, we intend to instruct
CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment
rate of 76.46 percent (i.e., the Chinawide entity rate) to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that were
exported by these companies.
Additionally, if Commerce
determined that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under the exporter’s case

the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and

number will be liquidated at the Chinawide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date for the final results of
review, as provided for by section 751
(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed in the table above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of review that is
listed for the exporter in the table; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
China and non-China exporters not
listed in the table above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate published for the most
recent period; (3) for all China exporters
of subject merchandise that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate previously established for the
China-wide entity, which is 76.46
percent; and (4) for all non-China
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the China exporter that
supplied that non-China exporter. The
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to APO of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, 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.

calculations performed in connection
with a final results of review within five
days of the date of publication of the
notice of final results in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, here, Commerce
made no adjustments to the margin
calculation methodology used in the
Preliminary Results; therefore, there are
no calculations to disclose for the final
results.
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)(1), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.3
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication date 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

number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter’s cash
deposit rate), Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate (i.e., 264.64 percent).5
For any individually-examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent), we will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for
each importer’s examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).6
For the respondents not eligible for a
separate rate and that are part of the
China-wide entity, we intend to instruct
CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment
rate of 264.64 percent (i.e., the Chinawide entity rate) to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR that were
exported by these companies.
Additionally, if Commerce determines
that an exporter under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered
under that exporter’s case number will
be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the

that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) for all
China exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled

to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from
interested parties, we revised the
calculation of the net countervailable
subsidy rates for the respondents: Agro
Sevilla Aceitunas S.COOP Andalusia
(Agro Sevilla) and Angel Camacho
Alimentacion S.L. (Camacho). For a
discussion of these issues, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs
found to be countervailable, we
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.4 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology
underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
including any determination that relied
upon the use of facts otherwise
available, including, adverse facts
available, pursuant to sections 776(a)
and (b) of the Act.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
There are three companies for which
a review was requested and not
rescinded, and which were not selected
as mandatory respondents or found to
be cross owned with a mandatory
respondent. For these companies,
because the rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents, Agro Sevilla
and Camacho, were above de minimis
and not based entirely on facts
available, we are applying to the nonselected companies the weighted
average of the net subsidy rates
calculated for Agro Sevilla and
Camacho, which we calculated using
the publicly-ranged sales data submitted
4 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act
regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)
of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of
the Act regarding specificity.

duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\3\ Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication date of the final results of this review
in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court

Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or
de minimis, or where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or
per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\4\
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted
by an exporter individually examined during this review, but that
entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e.,

For any individually-examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each

rate) to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR that were
exported by these companies.
Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number will be liquidated at the
China-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For the exporters listed in the table above, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the final results of review that
is listed for the exporter in the table; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed in
the table above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate previously established for the China-wide
entity, which is 264.64 percent; and (4) for all non-China exporters of
subject merchandise which
[[Page 13970]]
have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China
exporter. The cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 POR entries. 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
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 an 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 sanctionable violation.
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: March 7, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
