Because Commerce received no
comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and
no decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. We are
adopting the Preliminary Results as the
final results of this review.
Consequently, there are no new
calculations to disclose in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. We intend to instruct CBP to
apply the importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates we calculated for the
Preliminary Results on the basis of 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).4 If the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
then Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by TPP, for
which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these 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

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of CWP from Thailand entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for TPP will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
a company not covered in this review
but covered in a prior completed
segment of the 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 or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the companyspecific rate established for 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 15.67 percent, the
all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.5
These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
the final results of this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 351.221(b)(5).
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 duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during the POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an
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

hereby requested. Failure to comply

Scope of the Order 5
The products covered by the scope of
the Order are WSPP from India. For a
complete description of the scope, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.6
Rates for Companies Not Selected for
Individual Examination
For the rate for non-selected
respondents in an administrative
review, generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy
investigation. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted-average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’ In this
segment of the proceeding, we have
calculated a weighted-average dumping
margin that is not zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on the basis of facts
available for Ratnamani. Accordingly,
Commerce is assigning Ratnamani’s rate
to the companies not selected for
individual examination, which are
listed below.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

parties regarding the Preliminary
Results, we made certain changes to the
margin calculation for Ratnamani, as
well as the rate applied to the nonselected companies. For a discussion of
these changes, see the Issues and

Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), for Ratnamani, we
calculated importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales of
each importer and dividing each of
these amounts by the total entered value
associated with those sales. Where

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that
revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain cut-to-

from any government or respondent interested party to these

International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate
substantive response from respondent interested parties.\6\ As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce determined that the respondent
interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice
of initiation and, therefore, conducted expedited (120-day) sunset
