                     Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).[8] Commerce intends to issue the final results of this NSR, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 90 days after the date of issuance of the preliminary determination of this notice, unless extended, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. Assessment Rates Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.[9]
                    
                     If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     in the final results of this review, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess antidumping duties on any of its entries in accordance with the 
                    *Final Modification for Reviews.*[10]
                    
                     If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If an importer-specific rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Cash Deposit Instructions The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the subject merchandise from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise produced and exported by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for Sudarshan in the final results of this NSR (except, if the rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     then no cash deposit will be required); [11]
                    
                     (2) for subject merchandise exported by Sudarshan, but not produced by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate, or the all others rate (
                    *i.e.,*
                     27.48 percent) [12]
                    
                     if the producer does not have its own rate; and (3) for subject merchandise produced by Sudarshan, but not exported by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter, or the all other's rate if the exporter does not have its own rate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.
                    ( print page 82318) Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214.
