Assessment Rates For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Surya, we will instruct CBP to liquidate suspended 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.

Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative 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 an individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), upon completion of the final results, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific AD assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where we do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we will calculate an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.12 To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values. Where either a respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.13 For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each individually-examined respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such 12 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012). 13 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:00 May 31, 2024 Jkt 262001 entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.14 For the companies which were not selected for individual examination, we intend to assign an AD assessment rate equal to the dumping margin determined for Ecos/Grantec in the final results of review. The final results of this 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 cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.15 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated 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 was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior completed review, or the less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding for the producer of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 2.22 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.16 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Act. Export price and constructed export 
price are calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is 
calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full 
description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics included in 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this 
notice.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for 
companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits 
its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 
777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) 
of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others 
rate in an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-
average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for 
individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an amount 
equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average dumping 
margins established for exporters and producers individually 
investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any 
margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .''
    We preliminarily calculated dumping margins for the two mandatory 
respondents, Ecos/Grantec and Zinus Indonesia, of 31.17 percent and 
0.00 percent, respectively, and we have assigned to the non-selected 
companies a rate of 31.17 percent, which is the rate for Ecos/Grantec.

Preliminary Results of the Review

    We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 
2023:

    \9\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that

we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of 
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We 
intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the comment 
summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will 
accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request 
that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the 
executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain 
of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 
351.303(f).\11\

request must be received successfully in its entirety via ACCESS by 5

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to determine, and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review. 
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
administrative 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 an individually examined respondent whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 
percent), upon completion of the final results, Commerce intends to 
calculate importer-specific AD assessment rates on the basis of the 
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where we do 
not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we 
will calculate an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the 
importer's examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.\12\ To 
determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de 
minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will 
calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated 
entered values. Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate 
is zero or de minimis, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \13\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding: 
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment 
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each 
individually-examined respondent for which it did not know its 
merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to 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.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies which were not selected for individual 
examination, we intend to assign an AD assessment rate equal to the 
dumping margin determined for Ecos/Grantec in the final results of 
review.
    The final results of this 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 cash deposits of 
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies 
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is 
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; 
(2) for previously reviewed or investigated 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 was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior completed review, or the 
less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then 
the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for 
the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding for the producer 
of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers and exporters will continue to be 2.22 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Final Results of the Review

    Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to 
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the 
results of our analysis of issues raised by the parties in the written 
comments, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results 
in the Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

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 duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These preliminary 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)(4).
