Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011) for a full 

discussion of this practice. 

9See Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof 

from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Court Decision Not in Harmony With the Final 

Determination of Antidumping Duty Investigation; 

Notice of Amended Final Determination, 88 FR 

70644 (October 12, 2023). 

10See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 62063. 

importer-specific, per-unit assessment 

rate is de minimis, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated 

an importer-specific ad valorem ratio 

based on estimated entered values. 

Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage 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. Pursuant to a 

refinement in our non-market economy 

practice, for sales that were not reported 

in the U.S. sales data submitted by 

ZXM/XMT and Hangzhou Evernew 

during this review, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate entries associated with 

those sales at the rate for the China-wide 

entity.8

For the respondents which were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, and which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to them for the final results. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results. 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 upon 

publication of the final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on, or after, the 

publication date of the final results of 

review, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rates for the companies 

identified above in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for a previously investigated or 

reviewed exporter of subject 

merchandise not listed in the final 

results of review that has a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter’s existing cash deposit rate; 

(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

cash deposit rate established for the 

China-wide entity, i.e., 322.25 percent; 9

and (4) for all exporters of subject 

merchandise that are not located in 

China and that are not eligible for a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Results, we preliminarily determined 

that the record no longer supports a 

finding that ZXM should be collapsed 

with XMT subsequent to January 13, 

2022, as ZXM ceased involvement with 

the production and/or exportation of 

subject merchandise prior to the POR, 

was acquired by an unrelated thirdparty a month prior, and all indicia of 

affiliation and/or control between the 

two companies ceased as of that date.10

Accordingly, we continue to review the 

single entity for the February 11, 2021, 

through January 13, 2022, segment of 

this review and for the purposes of 

subsequent assessment. This finding has 

not changed for the final results as no 

new evidence to the contrary has been 

timely placed on the record. Therefore, 

because XMT remains the only 

component of the former ZXM/XMT 

entity involved in the exportation of 

subject merchandise in the final results, 

we will assign the cash deposit rate only 

to XMT as the exporter, and instruct 

CBP to discontinue the ZXM/XMT 

combination rate. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. 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 an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 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)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Dated: February 2, 2024.

by the CHIPS Act of 2022 (Division A

Incentives Program is administered by 

the CHIPS Program Office (CPO) within 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) of the United States 

Department of Commerce (Department). 

On February 28, 2023, the CHIPS

leading-edge, current-generation, and 

mature-node semiconductors; (b) 

commercial facilities in the United 

States for wafer manufacturing; and (c) 

commercial facilities in the United 

States for materials used to manufacture 

semiconductors and semiconductor 

manufacturing equipment, provided 

that the capital investment, equals or

As stated on p. 14 of the NOFO, ‘‘[t]he 

Department will engage outside 

advisors, consultants, and/or attorneys 

at the due diligence stage. . . .’’ The 

information request seeks information

and/or attorneys to determine their 

qualifications to provide advice on

such as construction management, 

corporate investigations and risk, 

finance and audits, insurance, market 

reviews, legal, real estate, and other 

technical issues.
