SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
On November 13, 2018, Commerce
published the AD order on sodium
gluconate from China.1 On October 2,
2023, Commerce initiated the first
sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act),2 and
subsequently, a domestic interested
party 3 timely submitted its complete
notice of intent to participate 4 and
adequate substantive response regarding
this review.5 The domestic interested
party claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
producer of the domestic like product in
the United States.6 Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from any
respondent interested party, nor was a
hearing requested. On November 17,
2023, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that it did not receive adequate
substantive responses from respondent
interested parties.7 As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, upon completion of the final results
of this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
ADs on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise covered by this review.15 If
the weighted-average dumping margin
for SIW is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent) in the final results
of this review, and because SIW
reported entered values for all of its
sales, Commerce intends to calculate
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for each importer’s examined sales to
the total entered value of those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
11 See
APO and Final Service Rule.
19 CFR 351.310(d).

E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM
02FEN1
7372
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2024 / Notices
We intend to instruct CBP to assess ADs
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). If SIW’s
overall weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis or where
an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to ADs.16 The
final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of ADs on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.17
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by SIW for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate (i.e., 12.91 percent) in the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation 18 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.19
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative 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 rate will continue to be the
company-specific cash deposit rate
published in the completed segment for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the
producer is, 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 12.91 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.20 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

SUMMARY:
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of ADs
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 ADs occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled ADs.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\10\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the comment
summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will
accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request
that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the
executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain
of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR
351.303(f).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\11\ See APO and Final Service Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. An electronically filed
hearing request must be received successfully in its entirety by
Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. If a
request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold a hearing at a
time and date to be determined.\12\ Parties should confirm the date,
time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All submissions, including case and rebuttal briefs, as well as
hearing requests, should be filed using ACCESS.\13\ An electronically-
filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, upon completion of the
final results of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, ADs on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.\15\
If the weighted-average dumping margin for SIW is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this
review, and because SIW reported entered values for all of its sales,
Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
[[Page 7372]]
We intend to instruct CBP to assess ADs on all appropriate entries
covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent). If SIW's overall weighted-average dumping margin
is zero or de minimis or where an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of review,
we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to ADs.\16\ The final results of this administrative review
shall be the basis for the assessment of ADs on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceedings:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
\17\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by SIW
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 12.91 percent) in the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation \18\ if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Order, 69 FR at 4111.
\19\ 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
administrative 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 upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for SIW will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative
review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (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 cash deposit rate published in the completed segment for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the producer is, 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 12.91 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\20\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Order, 69 FR at 4111.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of issues raised by interested parties in the
written comments, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary
results in the Federal Register.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; see also 19 CFR
351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of ADs 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 ADs occurred and
the subsequent assessment of doubled ADs.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: January 29, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
