Further, please note that pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1), Commerce may either apply a scope ruling to all products from the same country with the same relevant physical characteristics, (including chemical, dimensional, and technical characteristics) as the product at issue, on a country-wide basis, regardless of the producer, exporter, or importer of those products, or on a companyspecific basis. For further information on procedures for filing information with Commerce through ACCESS and participating in scope inquiries, please refer to the Filing Instructions section of the Scope Ruling Application Guide, at https:// access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_ Guidance.pdf. Interested parties, apart from the scope ruling applicant, who wish to participate in a scope inquiry 6 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 30 days after the filing of a scope ruling application, if Commerce determines that it intends to address the scope issue raised in the application in another segment of the proceeding (such as a circumvention inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered merchandise inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will notify the applicant that it will not initiate a scope inquiry, but will instead determine if the product is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative segment. 7 See Notice of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 8 This structure maintains the intent of the applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), to allow day 30 and day 31 to be separate business days.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on the comments received, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.4 For a more detailed discussion of the issues raised by parties, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents The statute and our regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be assigned to respondents not selected for individual examination when we limit our examination of companies subject to the administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. Generally, we look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents not individually examined in an administrative review. 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 and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.’’ Accordingly, in the final results of review, we are assigning to the non-selected separate rate respondents an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin based on the average of Anhui Trust Chem Co., Ltd.’s, and its affiliates (collectively Anhui), and Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd’s (Botao) rates weighted by their publicly available ranged U.S. sales values.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Anhui and Botao, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. 4 See Preliminary Results. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:39 Oct 06, 2023 For all non-selected separate rate applicants subject to this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the average of the rates calculated for Anhui and Botao as listed above. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Anhui and Botao for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction. 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).

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents

    The statute and our regulations do not address the establishment of 
a rate to be assigned to respondents not selected for individual 
examination when we limit our examination of companies subject to the 
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. 
Generally, we look to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides 
instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, 
for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents not individually 
examined in an administrative review. 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 and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on 
the basis of facts available{time} .'' Accordingly, in the final 
results of review, we are assigning to the non-selected separate rate 
respondents an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on the 
average of Anhui Trust Chem Co., Ltd.'s, and its affiliates 
(collectively Anhui), and Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd's (Botao) 
rates weighted by their publicly available ranged U.S. sales values.

Final Results of the Review

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period September 10, 2020, through 
February 28, 2022:

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

Disclosure

    Because we have not modified our analysis to the Preliminary 
Results, 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 the final results of review.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to determine, and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final 
results of this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Anhui and 
Botao, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates 
based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific 
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the 
entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to 
antidumping duties.
    For all non-selected separate rate applicants subject to this 
review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject 
merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the 
average of the rates calculated for Anhui and Botao as listed above. 
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Anhui and 
Botao for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for 
the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries 
at the China-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company 
or companies involved in the transaction.
    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 cash 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 companies 
subject to this review will be the rate established in these final 
results of the review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific 
rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all Chinese exporters 
of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin for the China-wide entity (i.e., 241.02 
percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise 
which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied 
that non-Chinese exporter.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

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
