transactions. If either respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, or if an importer-specific or 

customer-specific assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties. The final 

results of this review shall be the basis 

for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by this review, and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.18

For any respondent that was not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, including 

the Vietnam-wide entity, Commerce 

will instruct, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise at the 

rate of $0.14 per kilogram. 

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 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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) for 

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is de minimis, 

in which case the cash deposit rate will 

be zero; (2) for previously-examined 

Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese 

exporters not listed above that at the 

time of entry are eligible for a separate 

rate base on a prior completed segment 

of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to the be the existing 

exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3) 

for all non-Vietnamese exporters of 

subject merchandise which at the time 

of entry do not have a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the Vietnamese exporter 

that supplied the non-Vietnamese 

exporter. 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, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

no 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 double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing the 

preliminary results of this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST is 

seeking information on behalf of the 

U.S. Department of Commerce and the 

U.S. Government to support the 

development of an implementation plan 

for the United States Government 

National Standards Strategy for Critical 

and Emerging Technology (USG 

NSSCET). The USG NSSCET is intended 

to support and complement existing 

private sector-led activities and plans, 

including the American National 

Standards Institute (ANSI) United States 

Standards Strategy (USSS), with a focus 

on critical and emerging technology(ies) 

(CET). The U.S. standards development 

system is unique because it is built 

upon a wide variety of processes that 

are open, voluntary, decentralized, and 

led by the private sector. These 

processes feature openness to 

participation by materially interested 

stakeholders with consensus-based 

decision making. Finalized standards 

are primarily published by private 

sector standards organizations, not the 

U.S. Government. The U.S. Government 

supports standards development 

activities in accordance with the World 

Trade Organization (WTO) Technical 

Barriers to Trade Committee decision 

that articulates principles including 

transparency, openness, impartiality 

and consensus, effectiveness, relevance, 

and coherence. The USG NSSCET 

reinforces the U.S. Government’s 

support of a private sector-led, open, 

consensus-based international standards 

system, to which the U.S. Government 

is an active stakeholder and participant. 

To inform the USG NSSCET 

implementation, including how to best 

partner with relevant stakeholders, 

NIST is requesting information that will 

support the identification and 

prioritization of key activities that will 

optimize the USG NSSCET 

implementation and further enhance the 

U.S. Government’s ability to support a 

private sector-led, open, consensusbased international standards system. In 

addition to other agencies and 

Departments, bureaus across the U.S. 

Department of Commerce are involved 

in the USG NSSCET. They include the 

International Trade Administration 

(ITA), the Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS), the U.S. Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO), and the 

National Telecommunications and 

Information Administration (NTIA). 

CET covered under the USG NSSCET 

include, but are not limited to: 

• Communication and Networking 

Technologies 

• Semiconductors and 

Microelectronics, including 

Computing, Memory, and Storage 

Technologies 

• Artificial Intelligence and Machine 

Learning 

• Biotechnologies 

• Positioning, Navigation, and Timing 

Services 

• Digital Identity Infrastructure and 

Distributed Ledger Technologies 

• Clean Energy Generation and Storage 

• Quantum Information Technologies 

There are also specific applications of 

CET that departments and agencies have 

determined will impact our global 

economy and national security. These 

include, but are not limited to: 

• Automated and Connected 

Infrastructure 

• Biobanking 

• Automated, Connected, and 

Electrified Transportation 

• Critical Minerals Supply Chains 

• Cybersecurity and Privacy 

• Carbon Capture, Removal, Utilization, 

and Storage 

A full list of CETs identified by the 

National Science and Technology 

Council (NSTC) can be found https://

www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/ 

uploads/2022/02/02-2022-Critical-andEmerging-Technologies-List-Update.pdf. 

The national interest in CET and 

associated areas of standardization 

demands a new and urgent level of 

coordination and effort. National policy 

priorities, as expressed in legislation 

and other statements of policy, will 

require new ways for public sector and 

private sector (i.e., industry, including 

start-ups and small- and medium-sized 

enterprises (SMEs), academic 

community, and civil society 

organizations) stakeholders to cooperate 

in order to advance U.S. economic 

competitiveness and national security. 

NIST is seeking comments on the 

following questions and encourages 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2023 / Notices 61529 

responses from the public, including 

key stakeholders from the private sector 

(i.e., industry, including start-ups and 

SMEs, academic community, and civil 

society organizations), standards 

developing organizations (SDOs), and 

international partners. The questions 

reflect the four Objectives in the USG 

NSSCET. However, the questions are 

not intended to limit the topics that may 

be addressed. Responses may include 

any topic believed to have implications 

for the implementation of the USG 

NSSCET. 

When responding, commenters may 

address the practices of their 

organization(s) or a group of 

organizations with which they are 

familiar. Commenters may also provide 

information about the type, size, and 

location of the organization(s). Provision 

of such information is optional and will 

not affect NIST’s consideration.
