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
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 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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date in the Federal Register
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 Korinox will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
administrative review (i.e., 58.79
percent); (2) for merchandise exported
by a company 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, or a previous
segment, but the producer is, 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 19.60 percent, the all
others rate as revised due to a section
129 determination.7 These cash deposit

requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the POR. 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 countervailing 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 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
sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

agency of the United States Department
of Commerce, in support of efforts to
develop standards for carbon dioxide
removal, is establishing the Carbon
Dioxide Removal Consortium
(‘‘Consortium’’). The Consortium will
bring together stakeholders to identify
and address measurement and standards
needs related to carbon dioxide removal
used to reduce the overall atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentration. The
Consortium efforts are intended to
develop measurement solutions and
support the development of widely
accepted standards to improve
measurement confidence, measurement
traceability and comparability of carbon
dioxide removal through nature-based,
enhanced nature-based, and engineered
pathways, with an initial focus on
forests and direct air capture.
Participants will be required to sign a
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA).
DATES: The Consortium’s activities will
commence on Sept 1, 2024
(‘‘Commencement Date’’). NIST will
accept letters of interest to participate in
this Consortium on an ongoing basis.
ADDRESSES: Completed letters of interest
or requests for additional information
about the Consortium can be directed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There is a
significant effort underway to reduce
global carbon dioxide emissions. In
addition to transitioning to clean energy
sources, increasing energy efficiencies,
and deploying carbon capture, use, and
storage, atmospheric carbon dioxide
removal (CDR) is being developed and
deployed to compensate for remaining
hard-to-abate emissions and work
towards drawing down the current
atmospheric CO2 concentration level.
Industry is developing a variety of CDR
techniques including multiple different
nature-based, enhanced nature-based,
and engineered solutions. Given the
number and diversity of carbon removal
pathways, a variety of measurements,
models, and data are needed to quantify
carbon dioxide removed. Ultimately,
quality-assured measurements and

associated measurement uncertainties
are required to quantify carbon removals
and/or validate models that estimate the
amount of carbon removed. The
quantification of carbon removal in
closed engineered systems, such as
direct air capture, is reasonably
straightforward. In contrast, quantifying
carbon removal in dispersed natural and
hybrid systems is extremely
challenging. The scientific
understanding, measurements, and
models of these complex systems are
still evolving; enhanced measurements
and data are needed to improve and
validate the models. Furthermore,
advanced technologies that enhance
applicability and accuracy are needed to
expand current measurement
capabilities. This will enable the
acquisition of high-quality data, at
appropriate spatial and temporal
resolutions, over sufficient time to
quantify the carbon uptake and verify
that the carbon remains sequestered
over the period claimed. Moreover, to be
economically viable, the measurement
and monitoring capabilities must be
available at reasonable costs to deploy,
scale, and maintain. Ultimately,
measurement science along with SI
traceability are critical tools to increase
data veracity, quality, and objectivity
and thus build quality and confidence
in the carbon removal quantification.
The initial focus of this consortium is
to evaluate, develop, and standardize
methods to characterize and quantify
the carbon removal by (1) forests and (2)
direct air capture. Test methods to
specifically measure carbon in these
systems will be explored. A later focus
of the consortium will be to evaluate the
suitability of current measurement
standards for carbon removal in
additional pathways prioritized by
through stakeholder input and, where
appropriate, develop new test methods
needed to help build quality and
confidence in the carbon removal
marketplace. NIST and consortia
partners will perform research together
with the following four goals:
• Evaluate the suitability of current
measurement approaches to quantify
aspects of carbon dioxide removal.
• Validate the repeatability and
comparability of the current
measurement methods.
• Identify areas where measurements,
models, and data should be expanded
and enhanced to provide fit-for-purpose
capabilities.
• Use these measurements as a
foundation for test method(s) that can be
standardized through a consensus-based
standards development organization.
No proprietary information will be
shared as part of the Consortium.

will not treat any information provided
in response to this notice as proprietary
information. NIST will notify each
organization of its eligibility. In order to
participate in this Consortium, each
eligible organization will be required to
sign a Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement (CRADA) with
NIST. All participants in the
Consortium that are legally permitted to
enter into a CRADA will be bound by
the same terms and conditions.
Organizations that are legally prohibited
or not legally authorized to enter into a
CRADA may, at NIST’s discretion, be
permitted to participate in the
Consortium under an agreement other
than a CRADA with terms that will
differ, as necessary, from the terms of
the CRADA. NIST does not guarantee
participation in the Consortium to any
organization submitting a letter of
interest.
