PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Bothwell. We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.2 No interested party submitted comments. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order 3 The merchandise subject to the Order are carbon and alloy forged steel fittings, whether unfinished (commonly known as blanks or rough forgings) or finished. The subject merchandise is currently classifiable under subheadings 7307.99.1000, 7307.99.3000, 7307.99.5045, and 7307.99.5060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this Order is dispositive. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 Final Results of Review As a result of this review, Commerce determines the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the period, September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022. Producer or exporter Both-Well Steel Fittings Co., Ltd ......................................... Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) 0.00 Disclosure 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 results of review. Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine, 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, pursuant to 2 Id. 3 See Forged Steel Fittings from Taiwan: Antidumping Duty Order, 83 FR 48280 (September 24, 2018) (Order). 4 See Preliminary Results PDM.

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). Because we calculated a zero weighted-average dumping margin for Bothwell in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Bothwell and for which Bothwell did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the final determination of the less-than-fair-value investigation (i.e., 116.17 percent),5 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.6 Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of forged steel fittings from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Bothwell will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this review but covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 116.17 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. 5 See Forged Steel Fittings from Taiwan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 83 FR 36519 (July 30, 2018. 6 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

The final dumping margins for both Jindal and Polyplex will be determined by the final results that we calculate for SRF Limited. Partial Rescission Commerce initiated a review of eight companies in this proceeding. We are rescinding this administrative review with respect to only five of these companies and not six as listed in the original Preliminary Results.1 The five companies for which we are rescinding the administrative review are: (1) Ester Industries Ltd.; (2) Garware Polyester Ltd.; (3) MTZ Polyesters Ltd.; (4) Uflex Ltd.; and (5) Vacmet India, pursuant to 19 CFR351.213(d)(1), because all review requests for these companies were timely withdrawn. Accordingly, the companies that remain subject to the instant review are Jindal, Polyplex, and SRF. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Disclosure

    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 results of review.

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, 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, pursuant to

[[Page 82321]]

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 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).
    Because we calculated a zero weighted-average dumping margin for 
Bothwell in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP 
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Bothwell and for which Bothwell did not know its merchandise was 
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the final 
determination of the less-than-fair-value investigation (i.e., 116.17 
percent),\5\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.\6\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of 
forged steel fittings from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section 
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Bothwell will be 
zero; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this 
review but covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment for the 
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 116.17 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    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 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 (APO)

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as 
a reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the APO, 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 subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties
