without regard to antidumping duties.16
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.17
For Ningbo Zhongjiang, for which we
are rescinding this administrative
review, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period of
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
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 of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
review, as provided in section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the
subject merchandise exported by the
company listed above that has a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise not
listed above that received a separate rate
in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific 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 that for the Chinawide entity, i.e., 48.91 percent; 18 and
(4) for all non-Chinese exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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
antidumping and/or countervailing
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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount
of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results of this
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).

the deadline for issuing the final results
until April 25, 2024.2 For a complete
description of the events that occurred
since the Preliminary Results, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.3
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by the interested
parties in their case and rebuttal briefs
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The topics discussed and
the issues raised by parties to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are listed in the appendix
to this notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://access.trade.gov/
public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received from
interested parties, we made certain
changes regarding the attribution of
subsidies to Kaptan Demir Celik
Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S., however, this
did not result in a change to the
calculation of subsidy benefits for
Kaptan. For a full description of these
revisions, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For
each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we determine that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that gives rise to
a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.4 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
including any determination that relied
upon the use of adverse facts available
(AFA) pursuant to sections 776(a) and
(b) of the Act, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
We find the following net
countervailable subsidy rates for the
period January 1, 2021, through
December 31, 2021:

Disclosure
Cash Deposit Requirements
Notification to Interested Parties
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations of the
final results of an administrative review
within five days of a 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 to the calculations in the
Preliminary Results, there are no
calculations to disclose.
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, we also intend to instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts shown for the companies listed
above for shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review. For
all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct
CBP to continue to collect cash deposits
of estimated countervailing duties at the
all-others rate or the most recent
company-specific rate applicable to the
company, as appropriate. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
The final results are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

The topics discussed and the issues raised by parties to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum are listed in the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's

System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received from interested parties, we made certain
changes regarding the attribution of subsidies to Kaptan Demir Celik
Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S., however, this did not result in a change to
the calculation of subsidy benefits for Kaptan. For a full description
of these revisions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\4\ For a full
description of the methodology underlying Commerce's conclusions,
including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
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 to the calculations in the Preliminary
Results, there are no calculations to disclose.
Assessment
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after 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
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, we also intend to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts shown for the companies listed above for
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed firms, we
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
