full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in briefs filed by parties in this administrative 
review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and are 
listed in Appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum 
is a public document and on file electronically via Enforcement and 
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic 
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Separate Rate

    Commerce determines that GHC and Jilin Bright, the two companies 
individually examined in this review, and 12 companies not individually 
examined are eligible to receive separate rates in this review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results at ``Separate Rates'' section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the 
China-wide entity,\8\ the China-wide entity will not be under review 
unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a 
review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-
wide entity in this review, and Commerce did not self-initiate a review 
of the entity, the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate 
(i.e., 2.42 U.S. dollars per kilogram (USD/kg)) is not subject to 
change.\9\ Commerce continues to consider certain companies for which a 
review was requested and which did not demonstrate separate rate 
eligibility, listed in Appendix II to this notice, to be part of the 
China-wide entity.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
    \9\ See Order.
    \10\ See appendix II for the list of companies that are subject 
to this administrative review that are considered to be part of the 
China-wide entity; see also Preliminary Results PDM at 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties on the Preliminary Results, and for the reasons 
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain 
changes to the margin calculations for both GHC and Jilin Bright.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comments 1, 4, and 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    For the companies subject to this review that established their 
eligibility for a separate rate, Commerce determines that the following 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period April 
1, 2022, through March 31, 2023:

specific assessment rates for antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database 
submitted by the exporter individually examined during this review, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide 
rate.\14\

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the respondents that were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review but qualified for a separate 
rate, the per unit assessment rate will be the rate established for 
these companies in these final results of review.
    For the six companies identified in appendix II to this notice as 
part of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply the China-
wide per-unit assessment rate to all entries of subject merchandise 
made during the POR which were exported by those companies.
    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

    Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the 
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for shipments of 
the subject merchandise from China 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) for the subject 
merchandise exported by the companies listed above or in appendix II 
that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 
weighted-average

dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative 
review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters not listed above or in appendix II that received a 
separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all 
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for 
the China-wide entity (i.e., 2.42 USD/kg); and (4) for all non-Chinese 
exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These 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 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 has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

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

Notification to Interested Parties

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

    Dated: November 5, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
