Postponement of Preliminary Determinations Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD investigation within 65 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request. On June 22, 2023, the petitioners submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in these investigations.2 The petitioners stated that additional time is needed to collect the necessary information for the preliminary determinations.3 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have stated the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary determinations, and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determinations to no later than 130 days after the date on which these investigations were initiated, i.e., 1 See Brass Rod From India, Israel, and the Republic of Korea: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 88 FR 33566 (May 24, 2023). 2 See Petitioners’ Letters, ‘‘Request to Extend CVD Preliminary Determination,’’ dated June 22, 2023.

If TAK’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.16 The final results of this 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.17 In accordance with Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TAK for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (i.e., 16.27 percent) if there is no rate for the intermediate 5 See 6 See PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13 See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 19 CFR 351.212(b). 15 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for Reviews). 16 Id. at 8102. 17 See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 14 See E:\FR\FM\30JNN1.SGM 30JNN1 42302 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 125 / Friday, June 30, 2023 / Notices company(ies) involved in the transaction.18 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.

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this 
review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales.\15\ 
Where TAK did not report entered value, we will calculate the entered 
value in order to calculate the assessment rate. If TAK's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\16\ The final results of this 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.\17\

    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, 
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TAK for 
which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-
others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation (i.e., 16.27 percent) if there is no rate for the 
intermediate

company(ies) involved in the transaction.\18\

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company 
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is 
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; 
(2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating 
in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment of this 
proceeding in which the company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the LTFV 
investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the cash deposit 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 
16.27 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation.\19\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Order.

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 double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: June 26, 2023.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
