Parties who submit case briefs or

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are

requested to submit with each argument

brief summary of the argument.

The Department will subsequently

publish the final results of this

administrative review, including the

if held, not later than 120 days after the

date of publication of this notice.

The Department shall determine and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department will issue

appropriate appraisement instructions

directly to the Customs Service upon

completion of this review.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of the final results of this

antidumping duty review for all

shipments of porcelain-on-steel

cookware from Mexico, entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided by section 751(a) of

the Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rates

for the reviewed companies will be

those established in the final results of

review; (2) for exporters not covered in

this review, but covered in the LTFV

investigation or prior reviews, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate from the LTFV

investigation or the prior review; (3) if

the exporter is not a firm covered in this

review, a prior review, or the original

LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufacturers or

exporters will continue to be 29.52

percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made

effective by the LTFV investigation.

These requirements, when imposed,

shall remain in effect until publication

administrative review.

This notice serves as a preliminary

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 C.F.R. 353.26 to

file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during this review period.

Failure to comply with this requirement

could result in the Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This administrative review and notice

are published in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

353.22.
