under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations used in our analysis to 

parties in this review within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

to Commerce no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice. 

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than five days after the date for filing 

case briefs.9 Interested parties who 

submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 

this proceeding must submit: (1) a table 

of contents listing each issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.10 Case and rebuttal 

briefs should be filed using ACCESS 11

and must be served on interested 

parties.12

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.13 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

public executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the public executive summaries as the 

basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in this administrative 

review. We request that interested 

parties include footnotes for relevant 

citations in the public executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).14

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.15 If the 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), then Commerce will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of the review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. If Surya’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

in the final results of the review, we will 

instruct CBP not to assess duties on any 

of its entries in accordance with the 

Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., 

‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin 

of dumping for the exporter is 

determined to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 16

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Surya for which 

the producer did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate those entries at the all-others 

rate (i.e., 5.79 percent) 17 if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company (or 

companies) involved in the 

transaction.18

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 upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review 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 Surya will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative 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 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 in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation (LTFV) but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 5.79 percent, the 

rate established in the LTFV 

investigation of this proceeding.19 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review,
