Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation
are brass rod and bar (brass rod), which is
defined as leaded, low-lead, and no-lead
solid brass made from alloys such as, but not
limited to the following alloys classified
under the Unified Numbering System (UNS)
as C27450, C27451, C27460, C34500, C35000,
C35300, C35330, C36000, C36300, C37000,
C37700, C48500, C67300, C67600, and
C69300, and their international equivalents.
The brass rod subject to this investigation
has an actual cross-section or outside
diameter greater than 0.25 inches but less
than or equal to 12 inches. Brass rod crosssections may be round, hexagonal, square, or
octagonal shapes as well as special profiles
(e.g., angles, shapes), including hollow
profiles.
Standard leaded brass rod covered by the
scope contains, by weight, 57.0–65.0 percent
copper; 0.5–3.0 percent lead; no more than
1.3 percent iron; and at least 15 percent zinc.
No-lead or low-lead brass rod covered by the
scope contains by weight 59.0–76.0 percent
copper; 0–1.5 percent lead; no more than
0.35 percent iron; and at least 15 percent
zinc. Brass rod may also include other
chemical elements (e.g., nickel, phosphorous,
silicon, tin, etc.).
Brass rod may be in straight lengths or
coils. Brass rod covered by this investigation
may be finished or unfinished, and may or
may not be heated, extruded, pickled, or
cold-drawn. Brass rod may be produced in
accordance with ASTM B16, ASTM B124,
ASTM B981, ASTM B371, ASTM B453,
ASTM B21, ASTM B138, and ASTM B927,
but such conformity to an ASTM standard is
not required for the merchandise to be
included within the scope.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation is brass ingot, which is a casting
of unwrought metal unsuitable for
conversion into brass rod without remelting,
that contains, by weight, at least 57.0 percent
copper and 15.0 percent zinc.
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is currently classifiable under
subheadings 7407.21.9000, 7407.21.7000,
and 7407.21.1500 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Products subject to the scope may also enter
under HTSUS subheadings 7403.21.0000,

Department of Commerce published a
notice in the Federal Register
requesting public comment on whether
instruments of equivalent scientific
value, for the purposes for which the
instruments identified in the docket(s)
below are intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States. See
Application(s) for Duty-Free Entry of
Scientific Instruments, 88FR74977,

Docket Number: 23–014. Applicant:
Stanford University, Department of
Neurosurgery, Ivan Soltesz Laboratory,
1201 Welch Road, Stanford, CA 94305.
Instrument: 50 mW Fiber-coupled DPSS
473nm blue lasers (x5). Manufacturer:
Shanghai Laser & Optics Century Co.,
Ltd., China. Intended Use: The
instrument will be used to control the
activity of neuronal populations in the
brain of mice in order to study how
altering the activity of specific neurons
can lead to changes in mouse behavior
and/or the emergence of pathological
activity in the brain. Specifically, mice
will be genetically induced to express
particular optogenetic receptors in
neuronal populations in the brain.
These lasers will be used to deliver light
into the brain via implanted fiberoptic
cannula. The receptors, when activated
by light, cause an increase in the
activity of the neurons in which they are
expressed. Lasers will be controlled
through an external controller in order
to only turn on in response to specific
behaviors detected in the mouse. The

goal of these studies is to identify
specific populations of neurons
responsible for the emergence of various
behaviors and brain states. These
insights will enable the identification of
neuronal targets for future therapeutic
intervention to treat various

Manufacturer: Loligo Systems,
Denmark. Intended Use: The instrument
Respirometry refers to the study of an
organism’s metabolic rates. For this
research, water bath respirometry
systems will be used to measure how
the metabolic rates of small-bodied fish
and bivalves (oysters, mussels, clams,
etc.) are influenced by the different
environmental conditions including
temperature change and the presence of
chemical stressors such as
contaminants. This scientific equipment
order involvestwo complete swim
tunnel respirometry systems (1500 mL
chamber size for small-bodied fish
species) and four vertical respirometry
chambers (bivalve species) which allow
for the measure of an organism’s
metabolic rate by measuring oxygen
consumption over time. This research
falls under the broader scientific area of
study known as organismal
bioenergetics. The order is broken down
into component parts (for example,
chambers, pumps, tubing, temperature
controls) which together comprise the
complete respirometry systems.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding the Preliminary
Results, and for the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we made certain changes to the
preliminary weighted-average margin
calculation for Industeel for the final
results or review.6
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that NLMK Belgium did not have
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR.7 No party comments on
this preliminary finding. Therefore, for
the final results of this review, we
continue to find that NLMK Belgium
did not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.8
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists for the
period May 1, 2021, through April 30,
2022:

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 the notice of final results
in the Federal Register, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
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.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty 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
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Industeel
for which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation of 5.40
percent ad valorem,9 if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
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
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, 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)(C) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for
Industeel will be will be equal to the

14DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published in
the completed segment for the most
recent period; (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, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the
completed segment 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 5.40 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation for this proceeding.10
These 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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to 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 the
notice of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty 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 either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Industeel for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation of 5.40 percent ad valorem,\9\ if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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)(C) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Industeel will be will be equal to
the
[[Page 86637]]
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (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, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment
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 5.40 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation for this proceeding.\10\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order.

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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only 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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of return/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 violation
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: December 8, 2023.
