executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final determination 

in this investigation. 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).11

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Requests should 

contain the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that a request by 

exporters for postponement of the final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On October 15, 2024, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), UPC MY requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.12 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification (ITC) 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of its preliminary determination of sales 

at LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination 

whether these imports of DOTP from 

Malaysia are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.205(c).

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), 

regardless of form. DOTP that has been 

blended with other products is included 

within this scope when such blends include 

constituent parts that have not been 

chemically reacted with each other to 

produce a different product. For such blends, 

only the DOTP component of the mixture is 

covered by the scope of the investigations. 

DOTP that is otherwise subject to this 

investigation is not excluded when 

commingled with DOTP from sources not 

subject to these investigations. Commingled 

refers to the mixing of subject and nonsubject DOTP. Only the subject component of 

such commingled products is covered by the 

scope of these investigations. 

DOTP has the general chemical 

formulation of C6H4 (C8H17COO)2 and a 

chemical name of ‘‘bis (2-ethylhexyl) 

terephthalate’’ and has a Chemical Abstract 

Service (CAS) registry number of 6422–86–2. 

Regardless of the label, all DOTP is covered 

by this investigation. 

Subject merchandise is currently classified 

under subheading 2917.39.2000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may 

also enter under subheadings 2917.39.7000 

or 3812.20.1000 of the HTSUS. While the 

CAS registry number and HTSUS 

classifications are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this investigation 

is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 9, 2024, Commerce published

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

quartz surface products (quartz surface 

products) from India 1 in the Federal 

Register and invited interested parties

reasonably reflective of potential dumping 

margins’’).

to comment.2 We received no comments 

from interested parties on the 

Preliminary Results, and we have made 

no changes to the Preliminary Results. 

Accordingly, no decision memorandum 

accompanies this Federal Register 

notice. The Preliminary Results are 

hereby adopted in these final results. 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 

are quartz surface products. For a full 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not directly address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual 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 

review 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 or de 

minimis margins, and any margins 

determined entirely {on the basis of 

facts available}.’’ 

In this administrative review, we 

calculated dumping margins of zero 

percent for both mandatory 

respondents: Marudhar Rocks 

International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz 

Surface Private Limited (Marudhar) 3

and Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited 

(PESL). Thus, in accordance with the 

expected method, and consistent with 

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 

Federal Circuit’s decision in 

Albemarle,4 we assign to the 44 

companies, which were not selected for 

individual review in this administrative 

review, a zero percent rate based on the 

rates calculated for the two mandatory 

respondents. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period June 1, 

2022, through May 31, 2023: 

Producer/exporter 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin 

(percent) 

Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited ......................................................................................................................................... 0.00 

Marudhar Rocks International Pvt. Ltd./Marudhar Quartz Surface Private Limited ................................................................ 0.00 

Non-Individually Examined Companies 5 ................................................................................................................................. 0.00 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations of the 

final results of an administrative review 

within five days of a 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, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because we have made no 

changes to the Preliminary Results, 

there are no calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 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 of subject 

merchandise covered by this review. 

Because the respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins or importerspecific assessment rates are zero in the 

final results of review, we intend to 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.6 The final 

results of this administrative review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.7

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR for which Marudhar and PESL 

did not know that their merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate such 

entries at the all-others rate established 

in the original less-than-fair value 

(LTFV) investigation (i.e., 1.02 percent) 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these 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 in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of quartz surface products from India 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided for by section 

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

deposit rate for the companies listed 

above (including the non-selected 

companies listed in the appendix) will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review

cash deposit rate will be the companyspecific rate established for the most

investigation.8 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 and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during the 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 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). 

Timely written notification of the return 

or 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 violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

the final results of this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).
