Background
On November 29, 2023, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results and
invited comments from interested
parties.1 No interested party submitted
comments on the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, the final results remain
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results, and thus, there is no decision
memorandum accompanying this
notice. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance

accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to
the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection
with the final results of review 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). However,
because we have made no changes from
the Preliminary Results, there are no
new calculations to disclose.
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 covered by this
review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), because Hansol Paper
Company (Hansol) reported the entered
value for all of its U.S. sales, 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 those same sales.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Hansol for which the company did
not know that the merchandise it sold
to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all-others

rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.4
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 upon
publication in the Federal Register of
these final results of administrative
review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Hansol will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in these final results
of this administrative review; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
companies not covered in this review,
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 the lessthan-fair-value (LTV) investigation, but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate
established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of
the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers
and exporters will continue to be 6.19
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.5 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

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 terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).

collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on September

Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 2.
Average Hours per Response: Annual
Arbitration Organization Report: 6
hours; Cost Allocation Agreement: 16
hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 28
hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska
Regional Office, is requesting extension
of a currently approved information
collection for the Arbitration System for
the Crab Rationalization Program.
The Crab Rationalization Program
allocates Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands (BSAI) crab resources among
harvesters, processors, and coastal
communities. Under the Crab
Rationalization Program, eligible
License Limitation Program license
holders were issued crab quota shares
(QS), which are long term shares, based
on their qualifying license histories. The
QS yield annual individual fishing
quota (IFQ) that is an exclusive harvest
privilege for a portion of the total
allowable catch. Processor quota shares
(PQS) are long term shares issued to
processors. The PQS yield annual
individual processor quota (IPQ) that is
an exclusive privilege to receive, for
processing, a portion of the crab
harvested with Class A IFQ.
This information collection for the
Arbitration System is necessary for
NMFS to manage the Crab
Rationalization Program crab fisheries
in the BSAI. This information collection
is implemented under the Crab
Rationalization Program and required by
regulations at 50 CFR 680.20. NMFS
requires that harvesters and processors
abide by an Arbitration System
established to stabilize prices and
negotiations during the crab harvest
season. The Arbitration System is
necessary to reduce contention in price
negotiations. The information collected
is necessary for NMFS to verify the
membership of the arbitration
organizations and maintain the
Arbitration System.
The Arbitration System was designed
to fairly and equitably resolve price,
delivery terms, performance standards,
and other disputes in the event that IFQ
and IPQ holders are unable to reach
agreement on arbitration proceedings.
The Arbitration System is also designed
to minimize the potential for antitrust
violations. The Arbitration System
includes a provision for open
negotiations among IPQ and IFQ
holders, as well as various negotiation
approaches, including a share matching
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
approach, a lengthy season approach
where parties may postpone binding
arbitration until during the season, and
a binding arbitration procedure to
resolve price disputes between an IPQ
holder and eligible IFQ holders. The
Arbitration System also provides for
dissemination of market information to
facilitate negotiations, coordination of
matching Class A IFQ held by harvesters
to IPQ held by processors, and the
opportunity to use the binding
arbitration process to resolve terms of
price and delivery. Certain aspects of
the Arbitration System are required of
catcher vessel owners who hold QS/IFQ
and PQS/IPQ holders and operate
regardless of whether participants in the
fishery actually initiate binding
arbitration in order to resolve terms of
price or delivery.
This information collection contains
five components of the Arbitration
System that are submitted to NMFS.
Four are submitted annually: the
Annual Arbitration Organization Report,
the Market Report, the Non-binding
Price Formula Report, and the Cost
Allocation Agreement. The Contract
Arbitrator Report is submitted if any
arbitrations occur within a fishery.
The Annual Arbitration Organization
Report is compiled by each of the two
arbitration organizations; one
organization represents the processors,
and the second represents the
harvesters. This report includes
information on the arbitration
organization and its management
personnel, the crab QS fisheries to
which the report applies, the ownership
interest and the QS/IFQ or PQS/IPQ
held by each member; and the
arbitration process.
The Cost Allocation Agreement
provides combined shared arbitration
accounting costs. Federal regulations for
the Crab Rationalization Program
require that the crab arbitration costs are
shared equally between IPQ holders and
Class A IFQ holders—processors pay
half and fishermen pay half.
The arbitration organizations use
contracted parties to meet the
requirements of the Market Report,
Nonbinding Price Formula Report, and
Contractor Arbitrator Report.
The Non-binding Price Formula
Report is a pre-season report that is
designed to serve as a starting point for
negotiations between fishermen and
processors, or as a starting point for an
arbitrator in evaluating offers in an
arbitration process. This report
documents how each formula was
developed.
The Market Report provides an
analysis of the market for products of a
specific crab fishery and reports on

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
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). However, because we have made no changes from the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose.
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 covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because Hansol Paper Company (Hansol) reported the entered value for
all of its U.S. sales, 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 those
same sales.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hansol for which the
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\

\4\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2023).

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

companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
