SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 7, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative review and invited parties to comment on the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                    .[1]
                    
                     This administrative review covers four producers/exporters of PC strand from Malaysia.[2]
                    
                     Commerce selected two respondents for individual examination, Kiswire Sdn. Bhd. (KSB) and Wei Dat Steel Wire Sdn. Bhd. (Wei Dat).[3]
                    
                     Commerce extended the time period for issuing the final results until December 29, 2023.[4]
                    
                     For a complete description of the events that occurred since the 
                    *Preliminary Results, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[5] Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order 
                    6 The product covered by this 
                    *Order*
                     is PC strand from Malaysia. For a full description of the scope of the 
                    *Order, see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached as an 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 directly at 
                    *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx*. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested 
                    ( print page 329)
                    parties, we made certain adjustments to the margin calculations for these final results. However, those adjustments did not result in any changes to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for KSB or Wei Dat. For a more detailed discussion of these changes, 
                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Rate for Non-Examined Companies The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally “an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and 
                    *de minimis*
                     margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.” Where the dumping margin for individually examined respondents are all zero, 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that Commerce may use “any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.” In this review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for KSB and Wei Dat that are zero. Therefore, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, we are applying to Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd. and Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd., the two companies not selected for individual examination in this review, a margin of zero percent. Final Results of Review Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period November 19, 2020, through May 31, 2022: Exporter/producer

 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results to interested parties within five days of any public announcement 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**
                    .[7] 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 covered by this review. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is either zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Accordingly, because KSB's and Wei Dat's weighted-average dumping margins are zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by KSB or Wei Dat for which these companies did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (
                    *i.e.,*
                     5.13 percent) [8]
                    
                     if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.[9]
                    
                     For the companies which were not selected for individual review, Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd. and Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd., we will assign an assessment rate based on the methodology described in the “Rates for Non-Examined Companies” section, above. We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the “provisional measures deposit cap,” in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 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 listed in these final results will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 5.13 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.[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 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 double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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 
                    ( print page 330)
                    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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). Dated: December 27, 2023. Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
