                    *Preliminary Results*
                     and invited interested parties to comment.[1]
                    
                     This review covers two respondents: Master Nails and Pins Manufacturing, LLC/
                    ( print page 85220)
                    Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC (collectively, Master) and Rich Well Steel Industries LLC (Rich Well). From June 20 through 23,[2]
                    
                     and July 3 through 7, 2023,[3]
                    
                     Commerce verified Master's sales and cost responses. On August 29, 2023, the petitioner [4]
                    
                     submitted case briefs,[5]
                    
                     and on September 7 and 8, 2023, Rich Well [6]
                    
                     and Master,[7]
                    
                     respectively, submitted rebuttal briefs. On September 21, 2023, we extended the deadline for these final results to December 1, 2023.[8]

                     margin calculation for Master.[11] Final Results of Administrative Review Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022: Exporter/producer

 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results of review (with respect to Master's revised dumping margin) to interested parties 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 this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2) 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 covered by this review. Because the weighted-average dumping margins for Master and Rich Well are not zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific 
                    *ad valorem*
                     assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis,*
                     we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Master or Rich Well for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.[12] 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 for all shipments of the 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 by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Master and Rich Well will be the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (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, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established 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 4.30 percent.[13]
                    
                     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 liquidation of the relevant entries 
                    ( print page 85221)
                    during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a 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), 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. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: December 1, 2023.
