Disclosure
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 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).
Where an importer (or customer)specific ad valorem rate is greater than
de minimis, and the respondent has
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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.
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).

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.
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

203(o) of the United States-Colombia
Trade Promotion Agreement
Implementation Act (the ‘‘Act’’) [Public
Law 112–42] implements the
commercial availability provision
provided for in Article 3.3 of the United
States-Colombia Trade Promotion
Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’). The
Agreement entered into force on May
15, 2012. Subject to the rules of origin
in Annex 4.1 of the Agreement, and
pursuant to the textile provisions of the
Agreement, a fabric, yarn, or fiber
produced in Colombia or the United
States and traded between the two
countries is entitled to duty-free tariff
treatment. Annex 3–B of the Agreement
also lists specific fabrics, yarns, and
fibers that the two countries agreed are
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner from producers in
Colombia or the United States. The
fabrics listed are commercially
unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers,
which are also entitled to duty-free
treatment despite not being produced in
Colombia or the United States.
The list of commercially unavailable
fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be
changed pursuant to the commercial
availability provision in Chapter 3,
Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:41 Dec 13, 2024

Agreement. Under this provision,
interested entities from Colombia or the
United States have the right to request
that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be
added to, or removed from, the list of
commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns,
and fibers in Annex 3–B of the
Agreement.
Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of
the Agreement requires that the
President ‘‘promptly’’ publish
procedures for parties to exercise the
right to make these requests. Section
203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the
President to establish procedures to
modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers
not available in commercial quantities
in a timely manner in either the United
States or Colombia as set out in Annex
3–B of the Agreement. The President
delegated the responsibility for
publishing the procedures and
administering commercial availability
requests to the Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and
acts on requests through the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Office of
Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See
Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519,
May 18, 2012).
The intent of the Commercial
Availability Procedures is to foster the
use of U.S. and regional products by
implementing procedures that allow
products to be placed on or removed
from a product list, on a timely basis,
and in a manner that is consistent with
normal business practice. The
procedures are intended to facilitate the
transmission of requests; allow the
market to indicate the availability of the
supply of products that are the subject
of requests; make available promptly, to
interested entities and the public,
information regarding the requests for
products and offers received for those
products; ensure wide participation by
interested entities and parties; allow for
careful review and consideration of
information provided to substantiate
requests and responses; and provide
timely public dissemination of
information used by CITA in making
commercial availability determinations.
CITA must collect certain information
about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical
specifications and the production
capabilities of Colombian and U.S.
textile producers to determine whether
certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are
available in commercial quantities in a
timely manner in the United States or
Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of
the Act.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: As needed.
