(Gharda), Meghmani Pigments (Meghmani), and Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd. (Navpad).1 On March 1, 2024, we limited the number of respondents for individual examination in this administrative review to Meghmani and Navpad.2 On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days.3 The deadline for the preliminary results is now September 9, 2024.

Rate for the Non-Examined Company To determine the rate for non-selected companies in an administrative review, generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the allothers rate in a market economy investigation. 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 or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available.}’’ Where the dumping margin for individually examined respondents are all zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.’’ In this review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for Meghmani and Navpad that are zero and we did not calculate any margins which are not zero, de minims, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.

Background

    On February 8, 2024, based on a timely request for review, and in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), Commerce initiated this administrative review of the

individual examination in this administrative review to Meghmani and 
Navpad.\2\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this 
administrative proceeding by seven days.\3\ The deadline for the

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Act. Export price is calculated in accordance with 
section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with 
section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A 
list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 
included as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's

System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 
be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Rate for the Non-Examined Company

    To determine the rate for non-selected companies in an 
administrative review, generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) 
of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others 
rate in a market economy investigation. 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 or de minimis margins, and any margins determined 
entirely {on the basis of facts available.{time} ''
    Where the dumping margin for individually examined respondents are 
all zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, section 
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that Commerce may use ``any reasonable 
method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and 
producers not individually investigated, including averaging the 
estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters 
and producers individually investigated.''
    In this review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for 
Meghmani and Navpad that are zero and we did not calculate any margins 
which are not zero, de minims, or determined entirely on the basis of 
facts available. Therefore, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the 
Act, we are applying to Gharda, the company not selected for individual 
examination in this review, a margin of zero percent.

Preliminary Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we preliminarily determine the following 
estimated weight-average dumping margins for the period December 1, 
2022, through November 30, 2023:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via 
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and 
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of 
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to 
those raised in the respective case briefs. An electronically filed 
hearing request must be received successfully in its entirety by 
Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time 
within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall 
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this 
review.\11\ If the weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then Commerce will calculate 
importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis in the final results, or if an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without 
regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, 
for entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States 
during the POR that were produced by each respondent for which the 
respondent did not know that its merchandise was destined to the United 
States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate, if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For a full discussion of this practice, see 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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of CVP-23 from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies 
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this 
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will 
be required); (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 27.48 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the investigation.\13\ These cash 
deposit rates, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Final Results of Review

    Unless 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 any written briefs, 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 also 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

    These preliminary results of administrative review 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).

    Dated: September 9, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
