Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Orders would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
countervailable subsidies, and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a),
Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Orders. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD and CVD cash
deposits at the rates in effect at the time
of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
these Orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce
intends to initiate the next five-year
reviews of the Orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an APO of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
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
These five-year (sunset) reviews and
this notice are in accordance with
sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act
and published in accordance with
section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If SNCZ’s weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific 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 antidumping duties.

Commerce clarified its ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003.5
This clarification applies to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by SNCZ 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 SNCZ 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, including
those for which Commerce may
determine had no shipments during the
POR, 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 32.16 percent that was
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.6 These deposit

the 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 Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at

Preliminary Results of Review
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer and/or exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soci[eacute]t[eacute] Nouvelle des Couleurs Zinciques..... 2.04
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If SNCZ'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 antidumping duties.
Commerce clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on May
6, 2003.\5\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by SNCZ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 SNCZ 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,
including those for which Commerce may determine had no shipments
during the POR, 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 32.16 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 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
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 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: October 31, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
