Needs and Uses: In order to monitor
steel imports in real-time and to provide
the public with real-time data, the
Department of Commerce must collect
and provide timely aggregated
summaries about these imports. The
Steel Import License is the tool used to
collect the necessary information. The
Census Bureau currently collects import
data and disseminates aggregate
information about steel imports.
However, the time required to collect,
process, and disseminate this
information through Census can take up
to 45 days after importation of the
product, giving interested parties and
the public far less time to respond to
injurious sales.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: 13 U.S.C. 301(a) and
302.
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 31, 2023, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on
monosodium glutamate (MSG) from the
Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia).1 We
invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results; however, no
interested party submitted comments.2
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 covered by this
order is MSG, whether or not blended
or in solution with other products.
Specifically, MSG that has been blended
or is in solution with other product(s) is
included in this order when the
resulting mix contains 15 percent or
more of MSG by dry weight. Products
with which MSG may be blended
include, but are not limited to, salts,
sugars, starches, maltodextrins, and
various seasonings. Further, MSG is
included in this order regardless of
physical form (including, but not
limited to, in monohydrate or
anhydrous form, or as substrates,
solutions, dry powders of any particle
size, or unfinished forms such as MSG
slurry), end-use application, or
packaging.
MSG in monohydrate form has a
molecular formula of C5H8NO4Na
-H2O, a Chemical Abstract Service
(CAS) registry number of 6106–04–3,
and a Unique Ingredient Identifier
(UNII) number of W81N5U6R6U. MSG

Merchandise covered by this order is
currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheading 2922.42.10.00.
Merchandise covered by this order may
also enter under HTSUS subheadings

tariff classifications, CAS registry
numbers, and UNII numbers are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes; however, the written
description of the scope is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this administrative
review, we determine the following
weighted-average dumping margins for
the period November 1, 2021, through
October 31, 2022:

PT. Cheil Jedang Indonesia .......
PT. Daesang Ingredients Indonesia and PT. Miwon Indonesia 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
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
4 On August 26, 2022, Commerce published the
final results of a changed circumstances review of
MSG from Indonesia. Commerce found that PT.
Daesang Ingredients Indonesia (PT. Daesang) is the
successor-in-interest to PT. Miwon. See
Monosodium Glutamate from the Republic of
Indonesia: Final Results of Changed Circumstances
Review, 87 FR 52506 (August 26, 2022). Because the
effective date of this decision was during the POR,
we continue to reference the respondent here as PT.
Miwon. Cash deposits of estimated antidumping
duties required pursuant to the final results of this
review will be applied to PT. Daesang. Liquidation
instructions for the POR will be issued for PT.
Daesang/PT. Miwon.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 5, 2023 / Notices
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).
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 CJ
Indonesia or PT. Miwon for which the
respondent did not know that its
merchandise sold to an intermediary
was destined for the United States,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
of 6.19 percent,5 if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved
in the transaction.6
Cash Deposit Requirements
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
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 MSG from Indonesia
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 6.19 percent, the all-others rate

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 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
this notice of final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and
