Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 73 / Monday, April 15, 2024 / Notices
The effective date of the continuation
of the Order will be April 5, 2024.6
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce
intends to initiate the next five-year
review of the Order not later than 30
days prior to fifth anniversary of the
date of the last determination by the
ITC.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
Ministerial Error
Background
We agree with Giti that we made a
ministerial error in the Final Results
pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(f) and have
amended our calculations to correct the
calculation of boat freight to remove the
distance in kilometers.
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an APO of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction 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
violation which is subject to sanction.
On March 12, 2024, Commerce
published the Final Results in the
Federal Register.1 Also on March 12,
2024, we received a timely submitted
ministerial error allegation from Giti.2
On March 13, 2024, we received rebuttal
comments from the petitioner.3 We are
amending the Final Results to correct
the ministerial error Giti alleged.
Notification to Interested Parties
Legal Framework
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and
published in accordance with section
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.218(f)(4).
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of

‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ 4 With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19

‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any . . .
ministerial error by amending the final
results of review . . .’’

In the Final Results, we continued to
rely on a boat freight surrogate value
using data from Maersk stated on a U.S.
dollar per-kilogram basis.5 In its
Ministerial Error Comments, Giti alleged
that Commerce intended to value the
boat freight surrogate value on a perkilogram, per-kilometer basis, noting
that, in the calculation of boat freight,
Commerce multiplied the input quantity
in kilograms by both the boat freight
surrogate value and a distance in
kilometers.6
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are
amending the Final Results to correct
this ministerial error in the calculation
of the weighted-average dumping
margin for Giti, which changes from
53.41 percent to 20.52 percent.
Furthermore, based on the revised
weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Giti, we are also
amending the rate for the companies not
selected for individual examination in
this review, which changes from 27.94
percent to 11.50 percent.7

We intend to disclose the calculations

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 the
amended final results of this review.
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).
For Giti and Sumitomo, we calculated
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).10
Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1) of the Act, or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment
practice,11 for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. data submitted by
Giti, we will instruct to CBP to liquidate

such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e.,
76.46 percent).12
For the respondents not selected for
individual examination in this
administrative review that qualified for
a separate rate, the assessment rate will
be equal to the simple average of the
margin calculated for Giti in these
amended final results and Sumitomo in
the Final Results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following amended cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after March 12,
2024, the publication date of the Final
Results, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the amended
cash deposit rate for Giti and the other
exporters not individually examined in
this administrative review that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established in the amended
final results of review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, then a cash
deposit rate of zero will be established
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed exporters not
listed in the table above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate published for the most
recently-completed segment of this
proceeding; (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., 76.46
percent); and (4) for all exporters of
subject merchandise which are not
located in China and have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter(s) that supplied that non-China
exporter. 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 final
reminder to parties subject to
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
sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
amended final results of review in
accordance with sections 751(h) and
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

``Request to Reject Giti's Untimely New Argument,'' dated March 13,
2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \4\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial
error by amending the final results of review . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
In the Final Results, we continued to rely on a boat freight
surrogate value using data from Maersk stated on a U.S. dollar per-
kilogram basis.\5\ In its Ministerial Error Comments, Giti alleged that
Commerce intended to value the boat freight surrogate value on a per-
kilogram, per-kilometer basis, noting that, in the calculation of boat
freight, Commerce multiplied the input quantity in kilograms by both
the boat freight surrogate value and a distance in kilometers.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Final Results IDM at Comment 10.
\6\ See Ministerial Error Comments at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We agree with Giti that we made a ministerial error in the Final
Results pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) and
have amended our calculations to correct the calculation of boat
freight to remove the distance in kilometers.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results to
correct this ministerial error in the calculation of the weighted-
average dumping margin for Giti, which changes from 53.41 percent to
20.52 percent. Furthermore, based on the revised weighted-average
dumping margin calculated for Giti, we are also amending the rate for
the companies not selected for individual examination in this review,
which changes from 27.94 percent to 11.50 percent.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Amended Final Cash
Deposit Rate for Non-Selected Companies,'' dated concurrently with
this notice.

well as Commerce's analysis, see the accompanying Ministerial Error
Memorandum.\8\ The Ministerial Error Memorandum is a public document

Register, in accordance with 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 the amended final
results of this review. 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).
For Giti and Sumitomo, we calculated 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).\10\ Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1) of the Act, or an importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Sumitomo's dumping margin did not change in these amended
final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice,\11\ for entries that
were not reported in the U.S. data submitted by Giti, we will instruct
to CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 76.46
percent).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.

the People's Republic of China: Amended Final Affirmative
Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; and

(Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents not selected for individual examination in this
administrative review that qualified for a separate rate, the
assessment rate will be equal to the simple average of the margin
calculated for Giti in these amended final results and Sumitomo in the
Final Results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following amended cash deposit requirements will be effective
for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after March 12, 2024, the publication
date of the Final Results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) the amended cash deposit rate for Giti and the other exporters
not individually examined in this administrative review that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the amended final results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will be established for that
company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed exporters not
listed in the table above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding; (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., 76.46 percent); and (4) for all exporters
of subject merchandise which are not located in China and have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-China
exporter. 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 final reminder to parties subject to
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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these amended final results of review
in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.224(e).
Dated: March 29, 2024.
