2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these final results of review (with respect to Master's 
revised dumping margin calculation) to interested parties within five 
days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no 
public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by an administrative review. Because the weighted-
average dumping margins for Master and Rich Well are zero, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.
    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Master or Rich Well for 
which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

    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shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 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 the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Master and Rich 
Well will be the weighted-average dumping margins established in the 
final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously 
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, 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 
less-than-fair-value investigation, but the producer has been covered 
in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate 
will be the company-specific rate established for the most recent 
period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.30 
percent.\13\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Order, 77 FR at 27422.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (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 
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 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: December 19, 2024.
