 SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is issuing these amended final results pursuant to a settlement agreement with certain companies covered by the final results of the administrative review of stainless steel flanges from India for the period of review (POR) March 28, 2018, through September 30, 2019.

 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Maciuba, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0413.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 26, 2021, Commerce published the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
                    ( print page 80881)
                    steel flanges from India.[1]
                    
                     The administrative review covered 46 companies.[2]
                    
                     The following companies were among the 45 companies which were not selected for individual examination: Balkrishna Steel Forge Pvt. Ltd.; Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited; [3]
                    
                     Echjay Forgings Private Ltd; Goodluck India Ltd; Hilton Metal Forging Limited; Jai Auto Pvt. Ltd.; Jay Jagdamba Forgings Private Limited; Jay Jagdamba Limited; Jay Jagdamba Profile Private Limited; Kisaan Die Tech; [4]
                    
                     Pradeep Metals Limited; and Shree Jay Jagdamba Flanges Pvt. Ltd. (collectively, the non-selected companies). The non-selected companies are all producers/exporters of stainless steel flanges from India. In the 
                    *Final Results,*
                     Commerce assigned a margin of 145.25 percent to these companies for the POR because that was the margin assigned to the sole company which Commerce individually examined.[5] Following the publication of the 
                    *Final Results,*
                     the non-selected companies filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) challenging Commerce's decision to assign a dumping margin which was determined using facts available with adverse inferences for the sole mandatory respondent to all non-selected companies.[6] On September 30, 2024, the United States and the non-selected companies entered into an agreement to settle this dispute. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement and the stipulation for entry of judgment, the amended dumping margins for the non-selected companies are set forth below in the “Amended Final Results of Administrative Review” section of this notice. The CIT issued its order of judgment by stipulation on September 30, 2024.[7] Amended Final Results of Administrative Review The non-selected companies' final estimated weighted-average dumping margins are listed below for POR, March 28, 2018, through September 30, 2019.

 Assessment Rates Consistent with the settlement agreement and September 30, 2024, order of judgment by stipulation, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days following publication of these amended final results to liquidate all unliquidated entries of stainless steel flanges from India produced and/or exported by the non-selected companies and entered, or withdrawn from consumption in the United States during the POR, at the assessment rates noted above. Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these amended final results of review. Cash Deposit Requirements Because all of the non-selected companies have a superseding cash deposit rate, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP. This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rates for the non-selected companies. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing this determination and publishing these amended final results and notice in accordance with section 516a(e) of the Act. Dated: September 30, 2024. Steven Presing, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
