Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Pursuant to section 776(a) of the 

Act, Commerce is preliminarily relying 

upon facts otherwise available to assign 

a dumping margin to Chandan because 

the company withheld necessary 

information that was requested by 

Commerce and failed to timely provide 

information in the form requested, 

thereby significantly impeding this 

review. Further, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that Chandan 

failed to cooperate by not acting to the 

best of its ability to comply with 

requests for information and, thus, 

Commerce is applying an adverse 

inference in selecting among the facts 

available, in accordance with section 

776(b) of the Act. For a full description 

of the methodology underlying our 

conclusions regarding the application of 

adverse facts available (AFA), see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A 

list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as Appendix I to this notice. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for 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 for guidance when assigning a 

rate to companies 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}.’’ Under section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated 

dumping margins established for all 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated are zero or de minimis 

margins, or are determined entirely 

under section 776, the administering 

authority may use any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers 

not individually investigated, including 

averaging the dumping margins 

determined for the exporters and 

producers individually investigated. 

In this review, we have preliminarily 

assigned a dumping margin to Chandan 

that is determined entirely on the basis 

of AFA. In accordance with the U.S. 

Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit’s decision in Albemarle,9

Commerce has preliminarily assigned to 

the companies not individually 

examined (see Appendix II for a full list 

of these companies) a margin of 145.25 

percent, which is the dumping margin 

assigned to Chandan in these 

preliminary results of review.10

Preliminary Results of the Review 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following dumping margins exist for the 

period March 28, 2018, through 

September 30, 2019: 

Exporter/producer 

Dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Cash deposit 

rate 

(adjusted for 

subsidy 

offsets) 

(percent) 11

Chandan Steel Limited ............................................................................................................................................ 145.25 140.38 

Companies Not Individually Examined (excluding Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited) 12 ................................ 145.25 140.38 

Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited .................................................................................................................... 145.25 145.25 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Normally, Commerce discloses the 

calculations performed in connection 

with preliminary results to interested 

parties within five days after the date of 

public announcement or publication of 

this notice.13 Because Commerce 

preliminarily applied a rate based on 

total AFA to the mandatory respondent 

in this review, in accordance with 

section 776 of the Act, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

seven days after the date for filing case 

briefs. Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.14

Parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issues, 

(2) a brief summary of the argument, 

and (3) a table of authorities.15

Executive summaries should be limited 

to five pages total, including footnotes. 

Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed 

using ACCESS.16

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed via ACCESS, 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. An 

electronically-filed request must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days 

of the date of publication of this notice. 

Requests should contain: (1) The party’s 

name, address, and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, Commerce intends to hold the 

hearing at a time and date to be 

determined. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review. We 

intend 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). 

If these preliminary results are 

unchanged for the final results, we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of equal to the dumping 

margins stated above, adjusted for 

subsidy offsets to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR which 

were produced and/or exported by 

Chandan or exported by the companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination. We intend to instruct CBP 

to take into account the ‘‘provisional 

measures deposit cap,’’ in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of 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) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 

rate for Chandan and the companies not 

individually examined will be equal to 

the rate established for Chandan in the 

final results of this administrative 

review; (2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered by 

this review but covered by 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 by this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other producers or exporters will 

continue to be 14.29 percent, adjusted 

for subsidy offsets,17 the all-others rate 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include our analysis of the 

issues raised in any case and rebuttal 

briefs, not later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 POR. 

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 to Interested Parties 

The preliminary results of this 

administrative review and notice 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).
