Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review 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 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce 

has determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries.8 Commerce calculated importerspecific ad valorem AD assessment rates 

for Noksel by aggregating for each 

importer identified for the reported 

sales, the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the sales for which that 

importer was identified and dividing 

each of these amounts by the total 

entered value of those sales. Commerce 

will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review where an importerspecific assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Noksel for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, and 

for entries associated with the six 

companies for which Commerce found 

‘‘no shipments’’ during the POR, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

such unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transactions.9

Consistent with its recent notice,10

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 upon 

publication of this notice of final results 

of administrative review in the Federal 

Register for all shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the 

notice, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for Noksel is equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined in these final results of 

review; (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed in the 

table 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 was not covered in 

this review, a prior completed review, 

or the investigation, but the producer 

was covered, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate established in 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 27.04 

percent ad valorem, the all-others rate 

established in the investigation in this 

proceeding.11 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

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 POR entries. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

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 an 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 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) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: February 16, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2019, Commerce 

published a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on steel 

flanges from India.1 On April 24, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 50 days.2 On 

July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

an additional 60 days.3 On October 1, 

2020, Commerce extended the deadline 

for issuing the preliminary results of 

this review.4 The revised deadline for 

these preliminary results is now 

February 17, 2021. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included at Appendix 

I to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http:// 

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

The signed and electronic versions of 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

stainless steel flanges from India. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, we 

preliminarily determine that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution 

that gives rise to a benefit to the 

recipient, and the subsidy is specific.6

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review, because the rates 

calculated for Chandan Steel Limited 

(Chandan) and Kisaan Die Tech Pvt Ltd. 

(Kisaan) were above de minimis and not 

based entirely on facts available, we 

applied a subsidy rate based on a 

weighted-average of the subsidy rates 

calculated for Chandan and Kisaan 

using publicly-ranged sales data 

submitted by respondents.7

Preliminary Results of Review 

For the period January 23, 2018, 

through December 31, 2018, we 

preliminarily find that the following net 

subsidy ratesexist: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Chandan Steel Limited ......... 4.15 

Kisaan Die Tech Pvt. Ltd ..... 4.51 

Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review 8 ................. 4.22 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this 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). 

Cash Deposit Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amounts 

indicated above with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose to parties to this 

proceeding the calculations performed 

in reaching the preliminary results 

within five days of the date of 

publication of these preliminary 

results.9 Interested parties may submit 

written comments (case briefs) within 

30 days of publication of the 

preliminary results. Rebuttal comments 

(rebuttal briefs), limited to issues raised 

in case briefs, are due within seven days

proprietary information, until further 

notice.12
