Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We made no changes to our calculations for the final results of 
review.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminary found that Dcoop had no shipments of subject 
merchandise during the POR.\8\ No party commented on the Preliminary 
Results regarding the no-shipments decision with respect to Dcoop. 
Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that Dcoop had no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and will issue 
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
based on the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Preliminary Results, 87 FR at 34842.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce calculated weighted-average 
dumping margins for the mandatory respondents, Agro Sevilla and 
Camacho, that are not zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the 
basis of facts available.\9\ No party commented on the Preliminary 
Results regarding the rates assigned to non-examined respondents and we 
have made no changes to the margin calculations for the mandatory 
respondents. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 
Act, Commerce assigned to the companies not individually examined, 
listed in the chart below, a margin of 2.87 percent which is the 
weighted-average of Agro Sevilla's and Camacho's calculated weighted-
average dumping margins for these final results.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

margin, see Memorandum, ``Ripe Olives from Spain: Calculation of the 
Preliminary Margin for Respondents Not Selected for Individual 
Examination,'' dated June 3, 2022. As the weighting factor, we 
relied on the publicly ranged sales data reported in the quantity 
and value charts submitted by Agro Sevilla and Camacho.

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the period August 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021:

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with final results of review 
within five days after public announcement of final results.\11\ 
However, because Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations 
to disclose for the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review. Because the weighted-average dumping 
margins for Agro Sevilla and Camacho are not zero or de minimis (i.e., 
less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we 
calculated an importer-specific assessment rate based on the ratio of 
the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined 
sales and the total entered value of those same sales in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\12\ The final results of this administrative 
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on 
entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and 
for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 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).
    \13\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
either of the individually examined respondents for which they did not 
know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate these entries at the all-others rate if there 
is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.\14\ For the companies identified above that were not 
selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
entries at the rates established after the completion of the final 
results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because we have determined that Dcoop had no shipments of subject 
merchandise in this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any 
suspended entries that entered under Dcoop's case number (i.e., at 
Dcoop's cash deposit rate) at the all-others rate (i.e., 19.98 
percent).
    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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments 
of ripe olives from Spain entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject 
to this review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins 
established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise 
exported by companies not covered in this review but covered in a prior 
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the 
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent 
period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 19.98 
percent,\15\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 83 FR 28193 (June 18, 2018).

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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an 
increase

[[Page 75591]]

in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing 
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 APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

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

    Dated: December 5, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
