Final Results of the Administrative Review Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested parties, Commerce made certain changes to the margin calculations for Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Assan) and Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. (Teknik).6 Assan Alüminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S ........................ Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S .................................... Non-Selected Companies ..... Rate for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerce’s regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for companies not selected for individual 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 an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination 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 rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. For these final results of review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for Assan and Teknik that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Therefore, consistent with Commerce’s practice, we determined a dumping margin for the non-examined companies by weightaveraging the margins for Assan and Teknik using publicly ranged sales values for sales of subject merchandise to the United States. The non-examined companies subject to this review are ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Panda Aluminyum A.S., PMS Metal Profil Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., and TAC Metal Ticaret Anonim Sirketi. 6 See the Issues and Decision Memorandum for descriptions of these changes.

Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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 administrative 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). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Assan’s and Teknik’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.7 Consistent with Commerce’s clarification of its assessment practice, for entries of subject merchandise 7 See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).

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 disposition 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.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for 
companies not selected for individual 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 an investigation, for guidance when determining the weighted-
average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for 
individual examination 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 rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined 
entirely on the basis of facts available. For these final results of 
review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for Assan and 
Teknik that are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts 
available. Therefore, consistent with Commerce's practice, we 
determined a dumping margin for the non-examined companies by weight-
averaging the margins for Assan and Teknik using publicly ranged sales 
values for sales of subject merchandise to the United States. The non-
examined companies subject to this review are ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi ve 
Ticaret A.S., Panda Aluminyum A.S., PMS Metal Profil Aluminyum Sanayi 
ve Ticaret A.S., and TAC Metal Ticaret Anonim Sirketi.

Disclosure and Public Comment

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these 
final results of review to interested parties within five days of the 
date of publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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 administrative 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).
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Assan's and Teknik's 
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping 
calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the

[[Page 89967]]

during the POR produced by any of the above-referenced respondents for 
which they did not know the merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-
others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation of 4.85 percent ad valorem \8\ if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\

    For the non-examined companies subject to review, we will instruct 
CBP to liquidate all applicable entries of subject merchandise during 
the POR at the rate listed in the table above.

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 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 company-specific cash deposit rate for 
Assan and Teknik will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this review for each respondent 
(except, if that rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be 
zero); (2) for 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 
recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which they were 
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or a 
prior segment of the proceeding but the producer is, then the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or 
exporters will continue to be 4.85 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\10\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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.

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 disposition 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/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 which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) 
and 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 6, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
