Factual Information Requirements
Commerce’s regulations identify five
categories of factual information in 19
CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are
summarized as follows: (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). These regulations
require any party, when submitting
factual information, to specify under
which subsection of 19 CFR
351.102(b)(21) the information is being
submitted 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. The
regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also
provide specific time limits for such
factual submissions based on the type of
factual information being submitted.

containing business proprietary
information, until further notice.15
Any party submitting factual
information in an AD or CVD
proceeding must certify to the accuracy
and completeness of that information
using the formats provided at the end of
the Final Rule.16 Commerce intends to
reject factual submissions in any
proceeding segments if the submitting
party does not comply with applicable
certification requirements.
Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before a time limit
established under Part 351 expires, or as
otherwise specified by Commerce.17 In
general, an extension request will be
considered untimely if it is filed after
the time limit established under Part
351 expires. For submissions which are
due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request
will be considered untimely if it is filed
after 10:00 a.m. on the due date.
Examples include, but are not limited
to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual
information to value factors under 19
CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR
351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification
and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments
concerning the selection of a surrogate
country and surrogate values and
rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP
data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. 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 the
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. This policy also
requires that an extension request must
be made in a separate, stand-alone
submission, and clarifies the
circumstances under which Commerce
will grant untimely-filed requests for the
extension of time limits. Please review

Background
In accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

order on steel propane cylinders from Thailand with respect to SMPC.\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Export price was calculated in accordance with
section 772 of the Act. Normal value was calculated in accordance with
section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A
list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Preliminary Results of the Review
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-

Estimated

Exporter/producer average
dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sahamitr Pressure Container Plc......................... 2.49
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
ADs on all appropriate entries covered by this review. If an examined
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for an importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c),
or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
ADs.
Commerce clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on May
6, 2003.\5\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by SMPC for which it did not know
its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances,
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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for SMPC will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this review (except, if that rate is de minimis, then the
cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed in the final results of this review,
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 or another
completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this or any previously completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the all-others rate of 10.77 percent
that was established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\6\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: August 29, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
