executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the
issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final determination
in this investigation. We request that
interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the public
executive summary of each issue. Note
that Commerce has amended certain of
its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR
351.303(f).11
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing, limited to issues raised in the
case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a
written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, U.S. Department of
Commerce, within 30 days after the date
of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register. Requests should
contain the party’s name, address, and
telephone number, the number of
participants and whether any
participant is a foreign national, and a
list of the issues to be discussed. If a
request for a hearing is made, Commerce
intends to hold the hearing at a time and
date to be determined. Parties should
confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
Postponement of Final Determination
and Extension of Provisional Measures
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides
that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination if, in the
event of an affirmative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s
regulations requires that a request by
exporters for postponement of the final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period not more than six months in
duration.
On October 15, 2024, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.210(e), UPC MY requested that
Commerce postpone the final
determination and that provisional
measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months.12 In accordance with
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19
11 See
APO and Service Final Rule.

(Malaysia) SDN Bhd.’s Request to Postpone Final
Antidumping Duty Determination,’’ dated October

VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:07 Nov 04, 2024
Jkt 265001
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter
accounts for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
make its final determination no later
than 135 days after the date of
publication of this preliminary
determination.
U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification (ITC)
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC
of its preliminary determination of sales
at LTFV. If the final determination is
affirmative, the ITC will determine
before the later of 120 days after the date
of this preliminary determination or 45
days after the final determination
whether these imports of DOTP from
Malaysia are materially injuring, or
threaten material injury to, the U.S.
industry.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.205(c).

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP),
regardless of form. DOTP that has been
blended with other products is included
within this scope when such blends include
constituent parts that have not been
chemically reacted with each other to
produce a different product. For such blends,
only the DOTP component of the mixture is
covered by the scope of the investigations.
DOTP that is otherwise subject to this
investigation is not excluded when
commingled with DOTP from sources not
subject to these investigations. Commingled
refers to the mixing of subject and nonsubject DOTP. Only the subject component of
such commingled products is covered by the
scope of these investigations.
DOTP has the general chemical
formulation of C6H4 (C8H17COO)2 and a
chemical name of ‘‘bis (2-ethylhexyl)
terephthalate’’ and has a Chemical Abstract
Service (CAS) registry number of 6422–86–2.
Regardless of the label, all DOTP is covered
by this investigation.
Subject merchandise is currently classified

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) determines that
certain producers/exporters subject to
this administrative review did not make
sales of subject merchandise at less than
normal value (NV) during the June 1,
2022, through May 31, 2023, period of
review (POR).
DATES: Applicable November 5, 2024.

Background
On July 9, 2024, Commerce published
the preliminary results of the 2022–2023
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
quartz surface products (quartz surface
products) from India 1 in the Federal
Register and invited interested parties

to comment.2 We received no comments
from interested parties on the
Preliminary Results, and we have made
no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice. The Preliminary Results are
hereby adopted in these final results.
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this Order
are quartz surface products. For a full
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The Act and Commerce’s regulations
do not directly address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to
individual companies not selected for
examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the
Act. 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, for guidance when
calculating the rate for companies
which were not selected for individual
review in an administrative review.
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}.’’
In this administrative review, we
calculated dumping margins of zero
percent for both mandatory
respondents: Marudhar Rocks
International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz
Surface Private Limited (Marudhar) 3
and Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited
(PESL). Thus, in accordance with the
expected method, and consistent with
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit’s decision in
Albemarle,4 we assign to the 44
companies, which were not selected for
individual review in this administrative
review, a zero percent rate based on the
rates calculated for the two mandatory
respondents.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period June 1,
2022, through May 31, 2023:
Weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Producer/exporter
Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited .........................................................................................................................................
Marudhar Rocks International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz Surface Private Limited ................................................................
Non-Individually Examined Companies 5 .................................................................................................................................
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations of the
final results of an administrative review
within five days of a 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 we have made no
changes to the Preliminary Results,
there are no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 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 of subject
merchandise covered by this review.
Because the respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins or importerspecific assessment rates are zero in the

final results of review, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.6 The final
results of this administrative review
shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.7
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR for which Marudhar and PESL
did not know that their merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the all-others rate established
in the original less-than-fair value
(LTFV) investigation (i.e., 1.02 percent)
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these 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).

the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of quartz surface products from India
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of

(i.e., 0.00 percent); (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 or another completed segment of
this proceeding, but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the companyspecific rate established for the most
recent completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 1.02 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.8 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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 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 the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
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).
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 violation subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 9, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of the
2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain quartz surface products (quartz surface products) from India
\1\ in the Federal Register and invited interested parties
[[Page 87851]]
to comment.\2\ We received no comments from interested parties on the
Preliminary Results, and we have made no changes to the Preliminary
Results. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice. The Preliminary Results are hereby adopted in these
final results. Commerce conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).

Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 56292 (July 9, 2024) (Preliminary Results),
and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this Order are quartz surface products. For
a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not directly address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual companies not
selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
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, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual review in an
administrative review. 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} .''
In this administrative review, we calculated dumping margins of
zero percent for both mandatory respondents: Marudhar Rocks
International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz Surface Private Limited
(Marudhar) \3\ and Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited (PESL). Thus, in
accordance with the expected method, and consistent with the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision in Albemarle,\4\ we
assign to the 44 companies, which were not selected for individual
review in this administrative review, a zero percent rate based on the
rates calculated for the two mandatory respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Commerce previously collapsed Marudhar Rocks International
Pvt. Ltd. and Marudhar Quartz Surface Private Limited (collectively,
Marudhar) and treated the firms as a single entity. See Certain
Quartz Surface Products from India: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, and Final Determination of No Shipments;
2021-2022, 88 FR 80689 (November 20, 2023).
\4\ See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d 1345, 1352
(Fed. Cir. 2016) (Albemarle) (holding that Commerce may only use
``other reasonable methods'' if it reasonably concludes that the
expected method is ``not feasible'' or ``would not be reasonably
reflective of potential dumping margins'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Producer/exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quartz Surface Private Limited...................
Non-Individually Examined Companies \5\........... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure

\5\ See Appendix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
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 we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are
no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b), 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 of subject
merchandise covered by this review. Because the respondents' weighted-
average dumping margins or importer-specific assessment rates are zero
in the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\6\ The final results of
this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.\7\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which Marudhar
and PESL did not know that their merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the
all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair value (LTFV)
investigation (i.e., 1.02 percent) if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of these 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 the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of quartz surface products from
India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies listed above
(including the non-selected companies listed in the appendix) will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review
[[Page 87852]]
(i.e., 0.00 percent); (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 or another completed segment of this proceeding, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate
established for the most recent completed segment for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 1.02 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\8\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

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 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 the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final 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). 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 violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 29, 2024.
