make a critical circumstances
determination specific to
GameChange.23 However, in Zhejiang
Native Produce, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s
holding was limited to whether
Commerce could impute knowledge of
dumping when the price of imports
complied with a suspension agreement
that existed prior to the filing of the
petition; there is no such suspension
agreement at issue here nor any
information that detracts from the
record evidence that supports our usual
practice.24
Additionally, for the separate rate
companies and East Asia, we
preliminary determine that critical
circumstances do not exist because
section 733(e)(1)(A) is not met, as
discussed above, and, thus, we do not
reach the issue of whether imports were
massive for these companies. Regarding
the Vietnam-wide entity, as discussed
above, we preliminarily find that
imports are massive based on total AFA.
Lastly, GameChange’s argument again
relies on its contention that its imported
bearings are not subject merchandise.
As noted above, if we were to assume
arguendo, that GameChange’s
merchandise is not subject to the
investigation, then its arguments are
inapposite to the issue of whether
imports of subject merchandise were
massive during a relatively short period
of time.

Preliminary Affirmative Determination
of Critical Circumstances, in Part
Based on the criteria and findings
discussed above, we preliminarily
determine that critical circumstances do
not exist with respect to imports of
aluminum extrusions from Vietnam
produced or exported by East Asia and
the non-individually examined separate
rate companies that we preliminarily
found qualified for a separate rate, and
we preliminarily determine that critical
circumstances do exist with respect to
imports of aluminum extrusions from
Vietnam with respect to the Vietnamwide entity.
Final Critical Circumstances
Determination
We will make a final determination
concerning critical circumstances in the
final LTFV determination, which is
currently scheduled for September 19,
2024.
23 See
GameChange Allegation at 5 (citing
Zhejiang Native Produce, 432 F.3d at 1367).
24 See Zhejiang Native Produce, 432 F.3d at 1367–
68. We also note that, in Zhejiang Native Produce,
there was no finding that a case-by-case basis
needed to be company-specific rather than specific
to the instant investigation.

For such entries, CBP shall require a
cash deposit equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the Preliminary
Determination. This suspension of
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) determines that
certain stilbenic optical brightening
agents (OBAs) from Taiwan were sold in
the United States at less than normal
value during the period of review (POR)
May 1, 2022, through November 26,
2022.
DATES: Applicable May 28, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 2, 2024, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the 2022
administrative review 1 of the
antidumping duty order on OBAs from
Taiwan.2 We invited interested parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results.3
No interested party submitted
comments. Accordingly, the final results
of review remain unchanged from the
Preliminary Results and no decision
memorandum accompanies this notice.
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order
are OBAs. For a full description of the
scope of the Order, see the Preliminary
Results.4
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the POR:
1 See Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from
Taiwan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2022, 89 FR 7361 (February

Disclosure
Because Commerce received no
comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis and
no decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. We are
adopting the Preliminary Results as the
final results of this review.
Consequently, there are no new
calculations to disclose in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final
results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 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 final results of this
review. We intend to instruct CBP to
apply the importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates we calculated for the
Preliminary Results on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).5 If the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
then Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Teh Fong
Min International Co., Ltd., for which it
did not know that its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 6.19
percent) 6 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these final results 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).

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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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/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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing
the final results of this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In accordance with Executive Order
12862, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), a
non-regulatory agency of the
Department of Commerce, proposes to
conduct a number of individual
information collections that are both
quantitative and qualitative. The
information collections will be designed
to determine the type and quality of the
products, services, and information our
key customers want and expect, as well
as their satisfaction with and awareness
of existing products, services, and
information. In addition, NIST proposes
other customer service satisfaction data
collections that include, but may not be
limited to focus groups, reply cards that
accompany product distributions, and
Web-based surveys and dialog boxes
that offer customers the opportunity to
express their level of satisfaction with
NIST products, services, and
information and for ongoing dialogue
with NIST. NIST will limit its inquiries
to data collections that solicit voluntary
options and will not collect information
that is required or regulated. No
assurances of confidentiality will be
given. However, it will be completely
optional for survey participants to
provide their name or affiliation
information if they wish to provide
comments for which they elect to
receive a response.
