Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties, we have recalculated JSW Steel Ltd. and JSW Coated 
Products Limited (collectively, JSW) weighted-average dumping margin to 
(1) use the correct program language for weight averaging the 
manufacturer-specific cost data; (2) use modified program language so 
as to not make an export subsidy adjustment to sales after the 
expiration of the provisional measures period in the companion 
countervailing duty investigation and before the publication of the 
ITC's final injury determination during the underlying investigation of 
this proceeding (i.e., March 5, 2016, through July 20, 2016); \3\ and 
(3) use the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the CORE CVD 
Investigation Final) as the source for the export subsidy adjustment to 
export price.\4\ For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.

Duty Assessment

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review.
    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, 
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by JSW for 
which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-
others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.
    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the 
publication date of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review 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all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 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)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for JSW will be the 
rate 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

[[Page 64327]]

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 
manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 0.00 percent, the all-
others rate established in the investigation.\5\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

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

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (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.
    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).

    Dated: December 10, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
