Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2023 / Notices
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., 156.87
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 nonChinese exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also 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 has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties, and/or an increase
in the amount of antidumping duties by
the amount of countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. 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 which is subject to sanction.

Scope of the Order 3
The products covered by the Order
are chlorinated isos, which are
derivatives of cyanuric acid, described
as chlorinated s-triazine triones.
Chlorinated isos are currently
classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40
and 3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written product
description of the scope of the Order is
dispositive. For a full description of the
scope of the order, see the Issues and

Analysis of Comments Received
Commerce addressed all issues raised
in the case and rebuttal briefs in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
These issues are identified in the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made
certain changes to the home market and
margin calculations for Ercros since the
Preliminary Results. Specifically, we
have revised Ercros’ home market
program to include certain movement
expenses and revised the margin
program to change currency conversions
for inland insurance and commissions.
Non-Individually Examined Companies
For the rate for non-selected
companies in an administrative review,
generally, Commerce looks to section
735(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), which provides
instructions for calculating the allothers 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

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
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
these final results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUMMARY: On July 19, 2023, the U.S.
Court of International Trade (CIT)
issued its final judgment in Nucor

Court No. 21–00543, sustaining the U.S.

walled rectangular welded steel pipes
and tubes (HWR pipes and tubes) from
Mexico covering the period of review
(POR), September 1, 2018, through
August 31, 2019. Commerce is notifying
the public that the CIT’s final judgment
is not in harmony with Commerce’s
final results of the administrative review
and that Commerce is amending the
final results with respect to the
dumping margins assigned to
Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero)
and Productos Laminados de Monterrey

Results, Commerce made no changes to
the Preliminary Results 2 and continued
to rely on the same (1) home market and
U.S. sales for Maquilacero’s cost
recovery test; and (2) currency
conversion programming for Prolamsa.
We found that Maquilacero and
Prolamsa did not make sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value
(NV) during the POR.
Nucor Tubular Products, Inc. (Nucor),
i.e., the domestic interested party,
appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On
January 18, 2023, the CIT remanded the
Final Results to Commerce to reconsider
Nucor’s ministerial error comments and
reexamine (1) the placeholder numbers
used to calculate Maquilacero’s
quarterly costs in the Preliminary
Results; and (2) Commerce’s assessment
of Prolamsa’s home market price
calculations and correct any potential
errors in its currency conversions.3
Specifically, the CIT held that
Commerce needed to reconsider the
above company-specific calculations in
order to address the ministerial error
comments and correctly implement its
quarterly cost methodology for
Maquilacero, and calculate the correct
NV for Prolamsa, so that Commerce
meets its obligation to calculate
antidumping duty rates as accurately as
possible.4 In the Final Remand, issued
in March 2023, Commerce reconsidered
the facts on the record and corrected the
(1) time period of U.S. sales used in
Maquilacero’s home market SAS
program to be based on all U.S. sales
made in the POR; and (2) currency of
certain variables to base Prolamsa’s NV
calculation on the correct currency.5 On
July 19, 2023, the CIT sustained
Commerce’s Final Remand.6

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), Commerce must publish a
notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in
harmony’’ with a Commerce
determination and suspend liquidation
of entries pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court
decision. The CIT’s July 19, 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.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Maquilacero and Prolamsa
each have cash deposit rates that have
been superseded by a subsequent

this time, Commerce will not issue
revised cash deposit instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
This notice will not affect the current
cash deposit rate for these two
companies.
With respect to all the non-selected
companies, because the cash deposit
rates have not been superseded by a
subsequent administrative review of the
AD order at this time, Commerce
intends to issue amended cash deposit
instructions to CBP.
Liquidation of Suspended Entries
Because the CIT’s ruling has not been
appealed, in accordance with 19 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 7, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from Spain.\1\ For a summary of the
events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and

The products covered by the Order are chlorinated isos, which are
derivatives of cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated s-triazine
triones. Chlorinated isos are currently classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40 and
3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written product description of the scope of the
Order is dispositive. For a full description of the scope of the order,
see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
Commerce addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. These issues are
identified in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made
certain changes to the home market and margin calculations for Ercros
since the Preliminary Results. Specifically, we have revised Ercros'
home market program to include certain movement expenses and revised
the margin program to change currency conversions for inland insurance
and commissions.
Non-Individually Examined Companies
For the rate for non-selected companies in an administrative
review, generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (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
[[Page 77264]]
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{time} .'' In this segment of
the proceeding, we calculated a margin for Ercros that was not zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Accordingly, we have
applied the margin calculated for Ercros to the non-individually
examined companies.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this administrative review, we determine that the
following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period June 1,
2021 through May 31, 2022.

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for Ercros
in these final results to interested parties within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

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 administrative
review. 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).
Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, Commerce
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\4\ Where Commerce
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total
amount of dumping for reviewed sales to a specific importer or customer
by the total sales quantity associated with those transactions,
Commerce will direct CBP to assess importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit rates.\5\ Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is
greater than de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct
CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.\6\
Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate
is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\7\

In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States
during the POR that were produced by Ercros for which the respondent
did not know that its merchandise was destined to the United States,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-
others rate of 24.83 percent,\8\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\ For companies
identified above that were not selected for individual examination, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at the rates established in
these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of the final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of chlorinated isos from Spain entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results in the Federal Register, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies covered by
this review, the cash deposit rate will be the rates listed above in
the section ``Final Results of Review''; (2) for merchandise exported
by producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published in a completed
segment for the most recent POR; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review or in the original 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 merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 24.83 percent, the all-others rate
established in the investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements,

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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these final results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: November 2, 2023.
