Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 9See Order, 87 FR at 935. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for Kaptan in 

connection with these final results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

because both Colakoglu Metalurji A.S./ 

Colakoglu Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, 

Colakoglu) and Kaptan reported the 

entered value for their U.S. sales, we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales. Where either 

a respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. For the companies 

identified in Appendix II that were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at 

the rate established in these final results 

of review. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Colakoglu or Kaptan for which the 

producer did not know that the 

merchandise it sold to the intermediary 

(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 

exporter) was destined for the United 

States. In such instances, 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.8

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)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for the companies 

under review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin that 

is established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

companies not covered in this review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 

rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment for the producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 3.90 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.9 These 

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 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. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 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 return/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 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: December 20, 2023.
