Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From 

Bahrain: Final Affirmative 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration,

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of on-site verification to verify the 

information relied upon in making this 

final determination, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act).5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations. For 

a discussion of these changes, see the 

‘‘Changes from the Preliminary 

Determination’’ section of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act. Commerce calculated an 

individual estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin for Gulf Aluminium 

Rolling Mill B.S.C. (GARMCO), the only 

individually examined exporter/ 

producer in this investigation. Because 

the only individually calculated 

dumping margin is not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for GARMCO is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill 

B.S.C. (GARMCO) .................. 4.83 

All Others .................................... 4.83 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this final 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise, as described in 

Appendix I of this notice, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after October 15, 

2020, the date of publication of 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin as follows: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for the respondent 

listed above will be equal to the 

respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin determined in 

this final determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

respondent-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. These suspension-of-liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

While Commerce normally adjusts 

cash deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties by the amount of export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect, we have not adjusted the cash 

deposit rates listed above because 

Commerce found no countervailable 

export subsidies in the final 

determination of the companion CVD 

investigation.6

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of aluminum sheet no later 

than 45 days after this final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposits posted will be refunded 

and suspension of liquidation will be 

lifted. If the ITC determines that such 

injury does exist, Commerce will issue 

an AD order directing CBP to assess,

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice will serve as a final 

reminder to the parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of 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 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: March 1, 2021. 

Christian Marsh, 

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are common alloy aluminum sheet, which is 

a flat-rolled aluminum product having a 

thickness of 6.3 mm or less, but greater than 

0.2 mm, in coils or cut-to-length, regardless 

of width. Common alloy sheet within the 

scope of this investigation includes both not 

clad aluminum sheet, as well as multi-alloy, 

clad aluminum sheet. With respect to not 

clad aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is 

manufactured from a 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 

5XXX-series alloy as designated by the 

Aluminum Association. With respect to 

multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet, common 

alloy sheet is produced from a 3XXX-series 

core, to which cladding layers are applied to 

either one or both sides of the core. The use 

of a proprietary alloy or non-proprietary alloy 

that is not specifically registered by the 

Aluminum Association as a discrete 

1XXX-, 3XXX-, or 5XXX-series alloy, but that 

otherwise has a chemistry that is consistent 

with these designations, does not remove an 

otherwise in-scope product from the scope. 

Common alloy sheet may be made to 

ASTM specification B209–14 but can also be 

made to other specifications. Regardless of 

specification, however, all common alloy 

sheet meeting the scope description is 

included in the scope. Subject merchandise 

includes common alloy sheet that has been 

further processed in a third country, 

including but not limited to annealing, 

tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming, 

cutting, punching, and/or slitting, or any 

other processing that would not otherwise 

remove the merchandise from the scope of 

this investigation if performed in the country 

of manufacture of the common alloy sheet. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is aluminum can stock, which 

is suitable for use in the manufacture of 

aluminum beverage cans, lids of such cans, 

or tabs used to open such cans. Aluminum 

can stock is produced to gauges that range 

from 0.200 mm to 0.292 mm, and has an 

H–19, H–41, H–48, H–39, or H–391 temper. 

In addition, aluminum can stock has a 

lubricant applied to the flat surfaces of the 

can stock to facilitate its movement through 

machines used in the manufacture of 

beverage cans. Aluminum can stock is 

properly classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings 7606.12.3045 and 7606.12.3055. 

Where the nominal and actual 

measurements vary, a product is within the 

scope if application of either the nominal or 

actual measurement would place it within 

the scope based on the definitions set for the 

above. 

Common alloy sheet is currently 

classifiable under HTSUS subheadings 

7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3096, 

7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3095, 7606.91.6095, 

7606.92.3035, and 7606.92.6095. Further, 

merchandise that falls within the scope of 

this investigation may also be entered into 

the United States under HTSUS subheadings 

7606.11.3030, 7606.12.3015, 7606.12.3025, 

7606.12.3035, 7606.12.3091, 7606.91.3055, 

7606.91.6055, 7606.92.3025, 7606.92.6055, 

7607.11.9090. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this investigation 

is dispositive.
