Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.
Because Dalmine’s weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce has calculated importerspecific antidumping duty assessment
rates. 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.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Dalmine for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate established in the original less-thanfair value (LTFV) investigation (i.e.,
47.87 percent) 5 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.6
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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 Dalmine will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently-completed segment in
which it was reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recentlycompleted 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 47.87 percent,7 the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

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
has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order

Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the POR June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022:

Weighted-

Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalmine S.p.A.............................................. 2.00

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with these final results within five days of
any public announcement 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 Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.
Because Dalmine's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce has calculated
importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates. 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.
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Dalmine
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair value (LTFV)
investigation (i.e., 47.87 percent) \5\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\6\

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 1524]]
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 Dalmine will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment in
which it was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer is,
then 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 47.87 percent,\7\ the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation. These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
