NLMK Verona S.p.A...........................................       16.98
Officine Tecnosider S.R.L...................................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these final results of review to interested parties 
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if 
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice 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 final results of 
this review.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific 
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount 
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total 
entered value of those sales. Because OTS' weighted-average dumping 
margin or importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 
the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\8\ For NVR, where an 
importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102-03 (February 14, 
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by NVR 
or OTS 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 established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation (i.e., 6.08 percent) if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order; see also Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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).

[[Page 48563]]

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register, of the notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 
(1) the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will 
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the 
final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers 
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior 
completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed 
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV 
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed 
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the 
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 6.08 percent ad 
valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\10\ 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 serves as the only 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 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(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: May 31, 2024.
