Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed in connection
with these amended final results of
review to interested parties within five
days after public announcement of the
amended final results or, if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice
of amended final results in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
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 the
amended final results of this review.
For Sanmei, Commerce calculated
importer-specific assessment rates for
antidumping duties, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the
respondent reported reliable entered
values, Commerce calculated importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates by
aggregating the amount of dumping
calculated for all U.S. sales to the
importer and dividing this amount by
the total entered value of the
merchandise sold to the importer.
Where the respondent did not report
entered values, we calculated importerspecific assessment rates by dividing the
amount of dumping for reviewed sales
to the importer by the total quantity of
those sales. Commerce will calculate an
estimated ad valorem importer-specific
assessment rate to determine whether
the per-unit assessment rate is de
minimis; however, Commerce will use
the per-unit assessment rate where
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
entered values were not reported. 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. Where either the
respondent’s weighted average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.7
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by
Sanmei, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the China-wide
rate.8
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the amended 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 amended cash deposit
requirements will be effective
retroactively upon publication of the
amended final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from China
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) for the
exporter listed above, Sanmei, the
amended cash deposit rate will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the amended final
results of this review; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters not listed above
that currently have a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding where the exporter received
that separate rate; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate for the China-wide entity
(i.e., 216.37 percent); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received
their own separate rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the

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 the Secretary’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(h) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.224(e).
