CBP to assess importer- (or customer-) 

specific assessment rates based on the 

resulting per-unit rates.12 Where an 

importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem or per-unit rate is greater than 

de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), 

Commerce will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.13 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.14

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for 

Non-Examined Companies’’ section, 

above. 

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Motech, or the nonexamined companies, for which the 

producer did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.15

As noted in the ‘‘Final Determination 

of No Shipments’’ section, above, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

any existing entries of merchandise 

produced by the ‘‘no shipment’’ 

companies, but exported by other 

parties, at the rate for the intermediate 

reseller, if available, or at the all-others 

rate. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 

for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 

The cash deposit rates for the 

companies listed in these final results 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margins established in the 

final results of this review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment in which the 

company was reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 19.50 percent,16 the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Regarding Administrative Protective 

Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to 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), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

open to the public, but a paid 

registration is required. Please see the 

NCWM website (www.ncwm.net) to 

view the meeting agendas, registration 

forms, and hotel reservation 

information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Publication of this notice on the 

NCWM’s behalf is undertaken as a 

public service; NIST does not endorse, 

approve, or recommend any of the 

proposals or other information 

contained in this notice or in 

publications produced by the NCWM. 

The NCWM is an organization of 

weights and measures officials of the 

states, counties, and cities of the United 

States, and representatives from the 

private sector and federal agencies. 

These meetings bring together 

government officials and representatives 

of business, industry, trade associations, 

and consumer organizations on subjects 

related to the field of weights and 

measures technology, administration, 

and enforcement. NIST participates to 

encourage cooperation between federal 

agencies and the states in the 

development of legal metrology 

requirements. NIST also promotes 

uniformity in state laws, regulations, 

and testing procedures used in the 

regulatory control of commercial 

weighing and measuring devices, 

packaged goods, and for other trade and 

commerce issues. 

The NCWM has established multiple 

committees, task groups, and other 

working bodies to address legal 

metrology issues of interest to regulatory 

officials, industry, consumers, and 

others. The following are brief 

descriptions of some of the significant 

agenda items that will be considered by 

some of the NCWM Committees at the 

NCWM Annual Meeting. Comments will 

be taken on these and other issues 

during public comment sessions. This 

meeting also includes work sessions in 

which the Committees may also accept 

comments for clarification on issues, 

and where they will finalize 

recommendations for possible adoption 

at this meeting. The Committees may 

also withdraw or carry over items that 

need additional development. 

These notices are intended to make 

interested parties aware of these 

development projects and to make them 

aware that reports on the status of the 

project will be given at the Annual 

Meeting. The notices are also presented 

to invite the participation of 

manufacturers, experts, consumers, 

users, and others who may be interested 

in these efforts. 

The Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee (S&T Committee) will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

Handbook 44, ‘‘Specifications, 

Tolerances, and other Technical 

Requirements for Weighing and 

Measuring Devices.’’ Those items 

address weighing and measuring 

devices used in commercial 

applications, that is, devices used to buy 

from or sell to the public or used for 

determining the quantity of products or 

services sold among businesses. Issues 

on the agenda of the NCWM Laws and 

Regulations Committee (L&R 

Committee) relate to proposals to amend 

NIST Handbook 130, ‘‘Uniform Laws 

and Regulations in the Areas of Legal 

Metrology and Engine Fuel Quality’’ 

and NIST Handbook 133, ‘‘Checking the 

Net Contents of Packaged Goods.’’ 

NCWM S&T Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 44: 

SCL—Scales 

Item SCL–6 S.1.2.2.3. Deactivation of a 

‘‘d’’ Resolution 

In 2017, the NCWM adopted a 

proposal requiring the value of the scale 

division (d) and verification scale 

interval (e) to be equal on Class I and 

Class II scales installed into commercial 

service as of January 1, 2020, when used 

in a direct sale application (i.e., both 

parties of a weighing transaction are 

present when the quantity is 

determined). The S&T Committee will 

now consider a new proposal, if 

adopted, would prohibit the 

deactivation of a ‘‘d’’ resolution on a 

Class I or II scale equipped with a value 

of ‘‘d’’ that differs from ‘‘e’’ if by such 

action it causes the scale to round 

improperly. 

Item SCL–7 S.1.8.5. Recorded 

Representations, Point of Sale Systems 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal requiring additional sales 

information to be recorded by cash 

registers interfaced with a weighing 

element for items weighed at a checkout 

stand. These systems are currently 

required to record the net weight, unit 

price, total price, and the product class, 

or in a system equipped with price lookup capability, the product name or code 

number. The change proposed would 

add ‘‘tare weight’’ to the list of sales 

information currently required. This 

change has been proposed as a 

nonretroactive requirement with an 

enforcement date of January 1, 2022, 

which means if the proposal is adopted, 

the additional information (i.e., the tare 

weight) would be required to appear on 

the sales receipt for items weighed at a 

checkout stand (Point of Sale Systems) 

on equipment installed into commercial 

service as of January 1, 2022. This 

proposed change would not affect 

equipment already in service. 

Item SCL–8 Sections Throughout the 

Code To Include Provisions for 

Commercial Weigh-In-Motion Vehicle 

Scale Systems 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal drafted by the NCWM’s WeighIn-Motion (WIM) Task Group (TG) to 

amend various sections of the NIST 

Handbook 44, Scales Code to address 

WIM vehicle scale systems used for 

commercial application to determine a 

vehicle’s total weight. The TG is made 

up of representatives of WIM equipment 

manufacturers, the U.S. Department of 

Transportation Federal Highway 

Administration, NIST Office of Weights 

and Measures, truck weight enforcement 

agencies, state weights and measures 

agencies, and others. 

The WIM TG was first formed in 

February 2016 to consider a proposal to 

expand the NIST Handbook 44, WeighIn-Motion Systems Used for Vehicle 

Enforcement Screening—Tentative Code 

to also apply to legal-for-trade 

(commercial) and law enforcement 

applications. Members of the TG agreed 

during their first face-to-face meeting at 

the 2016 NCWM Annual Meeting to 

eliminate from the proposal any 

mention of a law enforcement 

application and focus solely on WIM 

vehicle scale systems intended for use 

in commercial applications. Members of 

the TG later agreed that commercial 

application WIM vehicle scale systems 

should be addressed by the Scales Code 

of NIST Handbook 44, rather than the 

Weigh-In-Motion Systems Used for 

Vehicle Enforcement Screening— 

Tentative Code. 

A focus of the TG since July 2016 has 

been to concentrate on the development 

of test procedures that can be used to 

verify the accuracy of a WIM vehicle 

scale system given a proposed 

maintenance and acceptance tolerances 

of 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent, 

respectively, of the test loads applied 

during testing and considering the many 

different axle configurations of vehicles 

that will typically be weighed by these 

systems. Although members of the TG 

have not been able to reach agreement 

on appropriate test procedures, the TG 

recommended and the Committee 

agreed, at the 2018 NCWM Interim

Meeting, to elevate the status of this 

item to ‘‘Voting’’ for the upcoming 2018 

NCWM Annual Meeting. 

Block 1 (B1) Items Manifold Flush 

Systems 

B1: Gen-2 Withdrawn G–S.2. 

Facilitation of Fraud [General Code] 

B1: VTM–1 V S.3. Diversion of 

Measured Liquid and UR.2.6. Clearing 

the Discharge Hose [Vehicle Tank 

Meters] 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would permit the 

installation and use of a ‘‘manifold flush 

system,’’ which is intended to provide 

a safer means of flushing the different 

products from the delivery systems of 

vehicles equipped with multiple 

product storage compartments used 

commercially to deliver different 

products through a single vehicle-tank 

meter and discharge hose. This 

‘‘flushing of product’’ is necessary when 

switching between the different 

products stored on and delivered from 

the same truck to lessen the amount of 

contamination of product delivered into 

a customer’s storage vessel. 

Flushing of product normally requires 

the delivery vehicle’s operator to climb 

on top of the delivery truck with 

discharge hose and nozzle in hand to 

discharge product back into the 

appropriate storage compartment (after 

opening its hatch), clearing the lines for 

the next product to be delivered. 

The manifold flush system makes 

possible flushing of the system at 

ground level, but its installation 

currently violates existing NIST 

Handbook 44 Vehicle Tank Meters 

(VTM) code paragraph S.3.1. Diversion 

of Measured Liquid by providing a 

means in which measured liquids can 

be easily diverted from the discharge 

line back into a product storage 

compartment. This diversion of metered 

product back into storage is considered 

by many to facilitate the perpetration of 

fraud. 

The proposal exempts all metering 

systems with multiple compartments 

delivering multiple products through a 

single discharge hose from having to 

comply with VTM code paragraph S.3.1. 

and requires a means for clearing the 

discharge hose be provided for metering 

systems with multiple compartments 

delivering multiple products through a 

single discharge hose. It also allows for 

the installation of a manifold flush 

system and specifies various conditions 

that must be met for this flushing 

system to be considered acceptable. 

The proposal also requires device 

users, who have the need to flush a 

discharge hose to keep a 12-month 

record of the different flushing 

operations to include dates, times, 

original product, new product, and 

gallons dispensed to avoid 

contamination.

Block 4 and Block 5 items are 

considered related agenda items. The 

items in these two blocks are currently 

assigned a developing status and while 

the S&T Committee may not take 

comments on these items at the 2018 

NCWM Annual Meeting, interested 

parties may wish to monitor the future 

progress of their continued 

development. These two groups of items 

are intended to: (1) Make clear the 

qualifying conditions in which a 

standard intended for use in testing (i.e., 

evaluating the performance of) a 

commercial weighing or measuring 

device or system can be used to conduct 

an official test; and (2) harmonize the 

terminology used to identify a suitable 

test standard in each of the Handbook 

44 codes. 

NCWM L&R Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 130 or NIST 

Handbook 133: 

NIST Handbook 130—Section on 

Uniform Regulation for the Method of 

Sale (MOS) of Commodities 

Item MOS–10 2.XX. Pet Treats or 

Chews 

The L&R Committee is recommending 

adoption of a uniform method of sale for 

Pet Treats or Chews. If adopted, the 

proposal will require sellers to follow 

labeling guidance under the Food and 

Drug Administration and 21 CFR 501, 

which defines these types of products as 

‘‘shall be sold by weight.’’ This will also 

allow consumers to make a value 

comparison for similar like items. 

NIST Handbook 133 

Item NET–4 4.XX. Plywood and 

Wood-Based Structural Panels 

There is no current test procedure in 

NIST Handbook 133, for Plywood and 

Wood-based Structural Panels. This will 

provide a test procedure for Plywood 

and Wood-Based Structural Panels. The 

L&R Committee is recommending 

further comment and consideration to 

add a testing procedure to NIST 

Handbook 133. This procedure follows 

good measuring practices for products 

sold by linear measure. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b).
