Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain changes to the margin calculation for mandatory respondent Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd. (Wuyi Xilinde), and consequently, the rate assigned to the non-examined separate rate respondents.6 For detailed information, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that Zhejiang Kin-Shine Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Kin-Shine) had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.7 No party filed comments with respect to this preliminary determination, and we received no information to contradict it. Therefore, we continue to find that Zhejiang Kin-Shine had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and will issue appropriate liquidation instructions that are consistent with our ‘‘automatic assessment’’ instructions for these final results.8 Separate Rate Respondents In our Preliminary Results, we determined that Wuyi Xilinde, and two other companies demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates.9 We received no information or arguments since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provide a basis for reconsideration of these determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that the two companies listed in the table in the ‘‘Final Results’’ section of this notice are each eligible for a separate rate, in addition to Wuyi Xilinde. 6 See Memoranda, ‘‘Final Results Analysis Memorandum for Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd.,’’ dated concurrently with this notice; and ‘‘Surrogate Values for the Final Results,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 7 See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 37025. 8 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011). 9 See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 37025. E:\FR\FM\07DEN1.SGM 07DEN1 85218 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 234 / Thursday, December 7, 2023 / Notices Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce’s usual practice in determining the rate for separate rate respondents not selected for individual examination is to average the weightedaverage dumping margins for the selected companies, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available.10 In the Preliminary Results,11 consistent with Commerce’s practice,12 we assigned the nonexamined, separate rate companies the margin calculated for Wuyi Xilinde, which was not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. No parties commented on the methodology for calculating this separate rate. As such, for these final results, we have assigned the 87.26 percent weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for Wuyi Xilinde to the two non-examined respondents which qualify for a separate rate in this review, consistent with Commerce’s practice and section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period October 30, 2020, through April 30, 2022: Exporter Weighted-average dumping margin (percent) Wuyi Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd Ningbo Eagle Machinery & Technology Co., Ltd .....................

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). For Wuyi Xilinde, which has a final weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for that respondent, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we will calculate importerspecific 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 for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we will calculate importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. To determine whether an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate is de minimis in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will also calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values. For the respondents which were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review, and which qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the rate assigned to them for these final results (i.e., 87.26 percent). Pursuant to a refinement in our nonmarket economy practice, for sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by companies individually examined during this review, we will instruction CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for the China-wide entity. Furthermore, where we found that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the China-wide entity. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping duties will be effective for all shipments of 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 listed above will be equal to each company’s weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative 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., 101.67 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 the nonChinese exporter. 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 and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the 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 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).

Postponement of Preliminary Determination Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD investigation within 65 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request. On November 27, 2023, Eastman Kodak Company (the petitioner) timely filed a request for Commerce to postpone the preliminary CVD determination.2 The petitioner requested postponement of the preliminary determination because Commerce needs additional time to collect and analyze questionnaire responses from the Government of China and the mandatory respondents in this investigation, and issue supplemental questionnaires.3 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary determination, and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the request.

    All issues raised by interested parties in briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested 
parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain changes to 
the margin calculation for mandatory respondent Wuyi Xilinde Machinery 
Manufacture Co., Ltd. (Wuyi Xilinde), and consequently, the rate 
assigned to the non-examined separate rate respondents.\6\ For detailed 
information, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Xilinde Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd.,'' dated concurrently with 
this notice; and ``Surrogate Values for the Final Results,'' dated 
concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily determined that 
Zhejiang Kin-Shine Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Kin-Shine) had no 
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR.\7\ No party filed comments with respect to this preliminary 
determination, and we received no information to contradict it. 
Therefore, we continue to find that Zhejiang Kin-Shine had no shipments 
of subject merchandise during the POR and will issue appropriate 
liquidation instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic 
assessment'' instructions for these final results.\8\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rate Respondents

    In our Preliminary Results, we determined that Wuyi Xilinde, and 
two other companies demonstrated their eligibility for separate 
rates.\9\ We received no information or arguments since the issuance of 
the Preliminary Results that provide a basis for reconsideration of 
these determinations. Therefore, for these final results, we continue 
to find that the two companies listed in the table in the ``Final 
Results'' section of this notice are each eligible for a separate rate, 
in addition to Wuyi Xilinde.

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents

    Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce's usual practice in 
determining the rate for separate rate respondents not selected for 
individual examination is to average the weighted-average dumping 
margins for the selected companies, excluding rates that are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\10\ In the Preliminary 
Results,\11\ consistent with Commerce's practice,\12\ we assigned the 
non-examined, separate rate companies the margin calculated for Wuyi 
Xilinde, which was not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts 
available. No parties commented on the methodology for calculating this 
separate rate. As such, for these final results, we have assigned the 
87.26 percent weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Wuyi 
Xilinde to the two non-examined respondents which qualify for a 
separate rate in this review, consistent with Commerce's practice and 
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

F. Supp. 2d 1344, 1357-60 (CIT 2008) (affirming Commerce's 
determination to assign a 4.22 percent dumping margin to the 
separate rate respondents in a segment where the three mandatory 
respondents received dumping margins of 4.22 percent, 0.03 percent, 
and zero percent, respectively).

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce will 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. 
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).
    For Wuyi Xilinde, which has a final weighted-average dumping margin 
that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will 
calculate importer-specific assessment rates for that respondent, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 
where the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we 
will calculate 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 for which entered value 
was reported. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we 
will calculate importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates based 
on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for 
the examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. To determine 
whether an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate is de minimis in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will also calculate an 
importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values.
    For the respondents which were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review, and which qualified for a 
separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the rate assigned 
to them for these final results (i.e., 87.26 percent).
    Pursuant to a refinement in our non-market economy practice, for 
sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by 
companies individually examined during this review, we will instruction 
CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for 
the China-wide entity. Furthermore, where we found that an exporter 
under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended 
entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that 
exporter's cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the 
China-wide entity.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties will be effective for all shipments of 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 listed above will be equal to each company's 
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this administrative 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., 101.67 
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 
the non-Chinese exporter. 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 and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping 
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the 
amount of the 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 disposition 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

[[Page 85219]]

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 these final results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 30, 2023.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
