SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 AGENCY: Background On October 18, 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:23 Dec 06, 2023 Jkt 262001 initiated a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates (printing plates) from the People’s Republic of China (China).1 Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than December 22, 2023. 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. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the date on which this 1 See Aluminum Lithographic Printing Plates from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 88 FR 73313 (October 25, 2023). 2 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petitioner’s Request for Postponement of Preliminary Determination,’’ dated November 27, 2023. 3 Id.

Final Results of Administrative Review

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Manufacturing Steel, LLC...............................
Rich Well Steel Industries LLC..........................            2.28
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these final results of review (with respect to Master's 
revised dumping margin) to interested parties within five days after 
public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2) 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 the weighted-average dumping margins for Master and Rich 
Well are 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.
    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Master or Rich Well 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.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 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) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Master and Rich 
Well will be the weighted-average dumping margins 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 
LTFV investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior 
completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the 
company-specific rate established for the most recent period for the 
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.30 percent.\13\ 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Order, 77 FR at 27422.

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 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.

    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).
