Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
interested parties’ comments on the
Preliminary Results, we revised certain
language in the program that we used to
calculate OCTAL’s dumping margin to
accurately reclassify certain sales as
constructed export price sales. For a
discussion of these changes, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the
following estimated weighted-average

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its
calculations and analysis performed in
these final results of review to parties to
the proceeding within five days after the
date of any public announcement of the
final results or, if there is no public
announcement of the final results,
within five days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce has determined the
antidumping duty assessment rate on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise during the POR. Because
OCTAL’s ad valorem weighted-average
dumping margin is zero, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border

Protection (CBP) to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Pursuant to a refinement to
Commerce’s assessment practice, where
sales of subject merchandise that was
produced or exported by an
individually examined respondent were
not reported in the U.S. sales data
submitted by the respondent, but the
merchandise was entered for
consumption into the United States
during the POR, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate any entries of such
merchandise at the all-others rate (i.e.,
7.62 percent) 4 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.5
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice of the final
results of 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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice in the
Federal Register, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for OCTAL will be zero
percent; (2) for merchandise exported by
a company that is not under review and
the company has a company-specific
cash deposit rate from a completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific cash deposit rate from
a completed segment of the proceeding
that is currently applicable to the
company; (3) if the exporter of the
subject merchandise was not covered by
this review or a previously completed
segment of this proceeding, but the
producer of the subject merchandise
was covered, then the cash deposit rate
will be equal to the company-specific
cash deposit rate from a completed
segment of this proceeding that is
currently applicable to the producer of
the subject merchandise; and (4) if
neither the exporter nor the producer of
the subject merchandise was covered by
this review or a previously completed
Order, 81 FR 27982.

segment of this proceeding, then the
cash deposit rate will be 7.62 percent ad
valorem,6 the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value investigation.
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 duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an APO of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under the 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of review and this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 5, 2024.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and interested parties' comments
on the Preliminary Results, we revised certain language in the program
that we used to calculate OCTAL's dumping margin to accurately
reclassify certain sales as constructed export price sales. For a
discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed in these final results of review to parties to the proceeding
within five days after the date of any public announcement of the final
results or, if there is no public announcement of the final results,
within five days after the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined the antidumping duty assessment
rate on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR.
Because OCTAL's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
[[Page 99831]]
Protection (CBP) to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Pursuant to a refinement to Commerce's assessment practice, where
sales of subject merchandise that was produced or exported by an
individually examined respondent were not reported in the U.S. sales
data submitted by the respondent, but the merchandise was entered for
consumption into the United States during the POR, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate any entries of such merchandise at the all-others rate
(i.e., 7.62 percent) \4\ if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Order, 81 FR 27982.
\5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice of the final
results of 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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for OCTAL will be zero percent; (2)
for merchandise exported by a company that is not under review and the
company has a company-specific cash deposit rate from a completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific cash deposit rate from a completed segment of the
proceeding that is currently applicable to the company; (3) if the
exporter of the subject merchandise was not covered by this review or a
previously completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer of
the subject merchandise was covered, then the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the company-specific cash deposit rate from a completed
segment of this proceeding that is currently applicable to the producer
of the subject merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer of the subject merchandise was covered by this review or a
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be 7.62 percent ad valorem,\6\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under the 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
