Oil Country Tubular Goods From Ukraine: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88362-88363 [2023-28036]

Download as PDF 88362 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 244 / Thursday, December 21, 2023 / Notices continue or recur if the Order were revoked, and determined to the report to the ITC rates up to 19.30 percent as the margin of dumping likely to prevail.5 We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.6 We received a case brief from Archer Daniels Midland Company, Cargill, Incorporated, and Primary Products Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively, the domestic interested parties), which notes their agreement with the preliminary determination that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, which they state was appropriately based on Commerce’s finding that import volumes of the subject merchandise declined significantly after issuance of the Order.7 We received no further case or rebuttal briefs from interested parties; thus, the record reflects no opposition to the Preliminary Results nor presents substantive issues which require further consideration. Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. As noted above, Commerce received no comments in opposition to its Preliminary Results. As a result, we have not modified our analysis, and no issues and decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results. Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this Order includes all grades and granulation sizes of citric acid, sodium citrate, and potassium citrate in their unblended forms, whether dry or in solution, and regardless of packaging type. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Dated: December 15, 2023. Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Final Results of Sunset Review Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at a weightedaverage dumping margin up to 19.30 percent. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 5 See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Belgium: Preliminary Results of the Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 88 FR 65365 (September 22, 2023) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 6 Id., 88 FR at 65366. 7 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Domestic Industry’s Case Brief,’’ dated October 23, 2023. The domestic interested parties note that, should the final results of the 2021–2022 administrative review of the Order be finalized prior to the instant sunset final results, the affirmative decision that revocation would likely lead to the continuance of dumping could be additionally supported with a finding that dumping continued after issuance of the Order. However, because the final results of the 2021–2022 administrative review have not yet been issued at the time of signature of this notice, we continue to decline to consider the unfinalized dumping margins of the ongoing 2021–2022 administrative review for the purposes of the instant determination.

Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Consistent with Commerce’s assessment practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it did not know that the 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.8 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 6 See 19 CFR 351.224(b).

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

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with the final results of a review to interested parties 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final 
results in the Federal Register.\6\ However, because Commerce made no 
change to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculation 
for Interpipe, there are no calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 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 has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these final results 
of review.\7\ For Interpipe, we will calculate importer-specific 
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of 
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and 
the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is 
not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the 
appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it 
did not know that the 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.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 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)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Interpipe will 
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in these 
final results; (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 in which the company participated; (3) if the 
exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in a prior segment of 
the proceeding, but the producer was covered, 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 
the all-others rate of 7.47 percent established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

    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 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

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