# SUMMARY:

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to determine that the 38 companies subject to this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from the People's Republic of China (China) are part of the China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate eligibility for separate rates. The period of review (POR) is September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022.

# DATES:

Applicable October 5, 2023.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On May 31, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative review.[1]                                          We invited parties to comment on the                     *Preliminary Results.*                     No parties submitted comments. Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the                     *Preliminary Results*                     and no decision memorandum accompanies this                     **Federal Register**                     notice. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).                

##                     Scope of the Order [2] 

                    The scope of the                     *Order*                     covers magnesia carbon bricks from China. For a complete description of the scope of the                     *Order, see*                     the                     *Preliminary Results.*

## Final Results of Administrative Review

                    We received no comments on, and made no changes to, the                     *Preliminary Results.*                     We continue to find that the 38 companies subject to this review did not file either a no-shipment certification, a separate rate application, or a separate rate certification. Thus, Commerce continues to determine that these companies have not demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate status. In this administrative review, no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce did not self-initiate a review of the China-wide entity. Because no review of the China-wide entity is being conducted, the China-wide entity rate is not subject to change as a result of this review. The rate previously established for the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent.[3] 

## Assessment Rates

                    Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). For the 38 companies subject to this review, we will instruct CBP to apply the China-wide rate of 236.00 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR. 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 the final results of this administrative review for shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, and which were not assigned the China-wide rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 236.00 percent; and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These 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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

## Administrative Protective Orders

This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 violation subject to sanction.

## Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

Dated: September 27, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
