SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 11, 2019, Commerce published the Order on quartz surface products from China in the Federal Register.1 On June 3, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first five-year (sunset) review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On June 18, 2024, Commerce received notices of intent to participate from the Cambria Company LLC, DalTile LLC, and Guidoni USA (collectively, domestic interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers or producers of the domestic like product.4 On July 3, 2024, Commerce received an adequate substantive response to the Initiation Notice from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce did not receive a response from the Government of China (GOC) or from any other interested party. In accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, because Commerce did not receive a substantive response from the GOC or a respondent party, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (e)(1)(ii)(C), respectively, we determined that the respondent interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the Initiation Notice. Therefore, on July 23, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested 1 See Certain Quartz Surface Products from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Duty Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 33053 (July 11, 2019) (Order). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 89 FR 47525 (June 3, 2024) (Initiation Notice). 3 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Notice of Intent to Participate in Sunset Review,’’ dated June 18, 2024. 4 Id. 5 See Domestic Interested Parties’ Letter, ‘‘Substantive Response to Notice of Initiation,’’ dated July 3, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 3, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and 
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from

of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orders, 82 FR 24096 (May 25, 2017) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise covered by the Order is CTL plate from Germany. For 
a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AG der Dillinger H[uuml]ttenwerke..........................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with the final results of review within five 
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
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 Commerce made no changes from the Preliminary Results, 
there are no new calculations to disclose.

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.
    Because the weighted-average dumping margin for AG der Dillinger 
H[uuml]ttenwerke (Dillinger) is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 
percent) we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce's ``automatic 
assessment'' practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR produced by Dillinger for which the reviewed company did 
not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a 
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United 
States. In such instances, we 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.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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 cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register of these final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 
the cash deposit rate for the company listed above will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed companies not 
listed above, 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 participated; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, or the less-than-fair-value 
investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the cash deposit rate established for the most recently completed 
segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 
20.99 percent, the all-others rate established in the Amended Final 
Determination.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary 
information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
