SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 6, 2023, Commerce published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     the preliminary results of the 2021-2022 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products (nickel-plated steel products) from Japan.[1]
                    
                     This review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Toyo Kohan. We invited interested parties to comment on the 
                    *Preliminary Results.*[2]
                    
                     On July 6, 2023, we received case briefs from the petitioner [3]
                    
                     and from Toyo Kohan.[4]
                    
                     On September 14, 2023, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of review until December 1, 2023.[5]
                    
                     For a complete description of the events that occurred since the 
                    *Preliminary Results, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6]
                    
                     Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order [7] The products covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     are nickel-plated steel products. A full description of the scope of the 
                    *Order*
                     is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case briefs that were submitted by parties in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and are listed in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
                    *https://access.trade.gov.*
                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed at 
                    *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.* Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and the comments received from interested parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     and for the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain changes to the weighted-average dumping margin calculations for Toyo Kohan for the final results of review.[8] Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022: Producer/exporter
Weighted-
                             average

0.92
 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results of review to interested parties in this proceeding within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. For Toyo Kohan, we calculated importer-specific 
                    *ad valorem*
                     duty assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific assessment rate is 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Toyo Kohan for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of 45.42 percent 
                    *ad valorem,*[9]
                    
                     if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 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 Upon publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , the following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of nickel-plated steel products entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the company subject to this review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 45.42 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation for this proceeding.[10]
                    
                     These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers 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 
                    ( print page 85592)
                    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 duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under the 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/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 which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: November 30, 2023.
