Assessment Rate Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.7 For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent), we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review, if any importerspecific assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis, Commerce will issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries. To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer(or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer).

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Based on the record information, Commerce preliminarily 
determined that Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of 
section 771(33)(E) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 
should be treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). 
See Preliminary Results. No party commented on our preliminary 
determination with respect to this issue, and we have received no 
new information regarding this issue. Therefore, we determine that 
Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of section 
771(33)(E) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final 
results to parties within five days after public announcement or, if 
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rate

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\7\ 
For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent), we calculated 
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio 
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined 
sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final results of this 
administrative review, if any importer-specific assessment rates 
calculated in the final results are above de minimis, Commerce will 
issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period 
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad 
valorem rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all 
U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the 
total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where 
an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de 
minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we 
will apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/
customer's entries during the POR.
    Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly 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 of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for respondents noted above will be 
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final 
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by 
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative 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; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to 
be 53.66 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping 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 duties did occur and the subsequent assessment of 
doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 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/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 sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

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