SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 24, 2017, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on finished
carbon steel flanges from India.1 On
September 7, 2023, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
2022–2023 administrative review and
invited interested parties to comment.
This administrative review covers 14
producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise. Commerce
selected R.N. Gupta & Co. Ltd. (RNG)
and Norma Group 2 for individual
examination. The producers/exporters
1 See Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India
and Italy: Antidumping Duty Orders, 82 FR 40136
(August 24, 2017) (Order).
2 In prior segments of this proceeding, we
determined that Norma (India) Limited, USK
Exports Private Limited, Uma Shanker Khandelwal
& Co., and Bansidhar Chiranjilal were affiliated and
should be treated as a single entity (Norma Group).
See, e.g., Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India:
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 82 FR 9719 (February 8, 2017), and
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum,

from India: Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value, 82 FR 29483 (June 29, 2017). In
this review, Norma (India) Limited and its affiliated
entities have affirmed that the factual basis on
which Commerce made its prior determinations has
not changed. See Norma Group’s Letter, ‘‘2nd
Supplemental Response Section A, C and D of AntiDumping duty Original Questionnaire,’’ dated June
26, 2024, at S2–3. Therefore, Commerce continues
to treat these four companies as a single entity.

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 1 / Thursday, January 2, 2025 / Notices
Memorandum, Commerce made certain
changes to the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margins for RNG and
Norma Group. As a result of these
changes, we have also revised the rate
applicable companies not selected for
individual examination.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The Act and Commerce’s regulations
do not address the establishment of a
rate to be applied to companies not
selected for individual examination
when Commerce limits its examination
in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a
market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for
individual examination in an
administrative review. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’
In this administrative review, we
preliminarily calculated weightedaverage dumping margins for Norma
Group and RNG that are not zero, de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), or
determined entirely on the basis of facts
available. Accordingly, consistent with
guidance in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the
Act, Commerce is preliminarily
assigning to the companies not
individually examined a margin of 2.54
percent, which is the weighted average
of Norma Group’s margin and RNG’s
margin based on publicly ranged U.S.
sales values.7 The companies not
selected for individual examination are
listed in Appendix II.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine
that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period August 1, 2022, through July 31,
2023:
Weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Exporter/manufacturer
Norma (India) Limited/USK Exports Private Limited/Uma Shanker Khandelwal & Co./Bansidhar Chiranjilal ...........................
R.N. Gupta & Company Limited ..................................................................................................................................................
Review-Specific Rate for Non-Selected Companies ...................................................................................................................
estimated antidumping duties, where
applicable.11
Upon completion of this
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for a mandatory
respondent is not zero or de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).8 If the weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, or if an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.9
For entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
the respondents for which they did not
know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries
pursuant to the reseller policy, i.e., the
assessment rate for such entries will be
the all-others rate established in the
investigation if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.10
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination, we
intend to assign an antidumping duty
assessment rate equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin determined for
the non-examined companies in the
final results of review.
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). The final
results of this review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise
covered by the final results of this
review and for future cash deposits of

Respondents Not Selected for Individual

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
the final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for companies subject
to this review will be equal to the
company-specific weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by a company
not covered in this review but covered
in a prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the less-than-fair-value investigation,
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the most recently completed segment
of the proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 8.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-than-

fair-value investigation.12 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to APO of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition 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
These final results of review are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: December 23, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 24, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on finished carbon steel flanges from India.\1\
On September 7, 2023, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the
2022-2023 administrative review and invited interested parties to
comment. This administrative review covers 14 producers and/or
exporters of the subject merchandise. Commerce selected R.N. Gupta &
Co. Ltd. (RNG) and Norma Group \2\ for individual examination. The
producers/exporters not selected for individual examination are listed
in the Appendix II section of this notice.\3\ On October 22, 2024,
Norma Group and RNG each submitted a case brief.\4\ No other party
submitted case or rebuttal briefs. On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled
the deadline to issue the final results in this administrative review
by 90 days.\5\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now
April 11, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India and Italy:
Antidumping Duty Orders, 82 FR 40136 (August 24, 2017) (Order).
\2\ In prior segments of this proceeding, we determined that
Norma (India) Limited, USK Exports Private Limited, Uma Shanker
Khandelwal & Co., and Bansidhar Chiranjilal were affiliated and
should be treated as a single entity (Norma Group). See, e.g.,
Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India: Preliminary Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 82 FR 9719 (February 8, 2017), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 4-5, unchanged in Finished
Carbon Steel Flanges from India: Final Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value, 82 FR 29483 (June 29, 2017). In this review,
Norma (India) Limited and its affiliated entities have affirmed that
the factual basis on which Commerce made its prior determinations
has not changed. See Norma Group's Letter, ``2nd Supplemental
Response Section A, C and D of Anti-Dumping duty Original
Questionnaire,'' dated June 26, 2024, at S2-3. Therefore, Commerce
continues to treat these four companies as a single entity.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by the parties in their case and rebuttal briefs
are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues which parties raised, and to which we responded in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum, follows in the appendix to this notice. The
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file

ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In
addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision
[[Page 75]]
Memorandum, Commerce made certain changes to the preliminary weighted-
average dumping margins for RNG and Norma Group. As a result of these
changes, we have also revised the rate applicable companies not
selected for individual examination.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not
selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an
amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average
dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and any margins
determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .''
In this administrative review, we preliminarily calculated
weighted-average dumping margins for Norma Group and RNG that are not
zero, de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), or determined entirely
on the basis of facts available. Accordingly, consistent with guidance
in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce is preliminarily assigning
to the companies not individually examined a margin of 2.54 percent,
which is the weighted average of Norma Group's margin and RNG's margin
based on publicly ranged U.S. sales values.\7\ The companies not
selected for individual examination are listed in Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Calculation of Margin for Respondents Not
Selected for Individual Examination,'' dated concurrently with this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2022,
through July 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Exporter/manufacturer dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norma (India) Limited/USK Exports Private Limited/ 0.89
Uma Shanker Khandelwal & Co./Bansidhar Chiranjilal.
R.N. Gupta & Company Limited........................ 3.60
Review-Specific Rate for Non-Selected Companies..... 2.54
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results to parties in this proceeding 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
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for a mandatory respondent is not zero or de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\
If the weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the
final results of review, or if an importer-specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\9\ For entries of subject
merchandise during the period of review produced by the respondents for
which they did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries pursuant
to the reseller policy, i.e., the assessment rate for such entries will
be the all-others rate established in the investigation if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\10\

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, we intend to assign an antidumping duty assessment rate
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin determined for the non-
examined companies in the final results of review.
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). The final results of this review shall be the
basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future
cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.\11\

\11\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the most recently completed
segment of the proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 8.91 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-
[[Page 76]]
fair-value investigation.\12\ These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of
their responsibility concerning the disposition 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
These final results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: December 23, 2024.
