Download as PDF 70647 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2023 / Notices The CIT sustained Commerce’s Second Remand Results on July 14, 2023.9 Timken Notice In its decision in Timken,10 as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Act, Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s July 14, 2023, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce’s Final Results. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Amended Final Results Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending its Final Results with respect to Husteel, Hyundai Steel, NEXTEEL, and SeAH for the period December 1, 2017, through November 30, 2018, as follows: Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) Producer or exporter NEXTEEL Co., Ltd ...............................................................................................................................................................................

Cash Deposit Requirements Notification to Interested Parties Because NEXTEEL, SeAH, and the non-selected companies Husteel and Hyundai Steel have a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rates for those exporters/ producers. This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 516A(c) and (e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Liquidation of Suspended Entries ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Because the CIT’s ruling has not been appealed, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by NEXTEEL, SeAH, and the nonselected companies, Husteel and Hyundai Steel, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an import-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis,13 we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 9 See NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. et al. v.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Following a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties, we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results.

Final Results of the Review

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2021, through February 
28, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted
                                                                average
                      Exporter/producer                         dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzano S.A..................................................        7.17
Sylvamo do Brasil Ltda./Sylvamo Exports Ltda................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Because we made no changes to the calculations performed in 
connection with the Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations 
to disclose, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b), for these final 
results.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review.
    Because Suzano's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific 
ad valorem assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties. For Sylvamo, because its 
weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate entries reported in this review without regard to antidumping 
duties.
    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Suzano or Sylvamo for 
which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United 
States, 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 rates for Suzano and 
Sylvamo will be the rates established in the final results of this 
administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated 
companies not listed above, 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, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value 
(LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will 
be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 27.11 percent, the all-others rate established in the 
LTFV investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping 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(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction 
of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are 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) 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
