Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of 
the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal 
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we 
have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are no 
calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review. For any individually examined respondents 
whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates by 
dividing the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the 
examined sales by the total entered value of the examined sales to that 
importer. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we 
calculated the entered value in order to calculate the assessment rate. 
Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero 
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.
    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hulamin Operations for 
which the company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an 
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was 
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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).

[[Page 77818]]

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review in the Federal Register, as provided for 
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 
companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these 
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers 
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment 
of the proceeding, 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 
original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers or exporters will continue to be 8.85 percent, the all-others 
rate established in the investigation.\6\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order, 86 FR at 22142.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding the Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the 
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 the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).
