Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,10 as 

clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit held that, pursuant to sections 

516A(c) and (e) of the Act, Commerce 

must publish a notice of court decision 

that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a 

Commerce determination and must 

suspend liquidation of entries pending 

a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

November 7, 2024, judgment constitutes 

a final decision of the CIT that is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s Final 

Results. Thus, this notice is published 

in fulfillment of the publication 

requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

judgment, Commerce is amending its 

Final Results with respect to Garg Tube 

as follows: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Garg Tube Export LLP and Garg 

Tube Limited ........................... 4.25 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because Garg Tube does not have a 

superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there 

have not been final results published in 

a subsequent administrative review, we 

will issue revised cash deposit 

instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). 

Liquidation of Suspended Entries 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT order from liquidating 

entries that were produced and/or 

exported by Garg Tube, and were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the period May 

1, 2018, through April 30, 2019. These 

entries will remain enjoined pursuant to 

the terms of the injunction during the 

pendency of any appeals process. 

In the event the CIT’s ruling is not 

appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a 

final and conclusive court decision, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by Garg Tube in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is not zero or 

de minimis. Where an import-specific 

ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis,12 we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on ferrosilicon from the Russian 

Federation (Russia).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(d), 

735(d), and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), on 

September 18, 2024, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value and its final affirmative 

determination that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of ferrosilicon 

from Russia.1 As part of these 

determinations, Commerce made 

affirmative critical circumstances 

findings for the Russia-wide entity in 

the AD investigation and for Russian 

Ferro Alloys Inc./RFA International LP 

and all other producers and/or exporters 

in the CVD investigation. 

On November 4, 2024, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its affirmative 

final determination that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the 

Act, by reason of imports of ferrosilicon 

that are subsidized by the government of 

Russia and sold in the United States at 

less than fair value.2 On November 8, 

2024, in accordance with section 735(d) 

of the Act, the ITC published in the 

Federal Register its affirmative final 

injury determination in these 

investigations in which it found that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of ferrosilicon from Russia.3 In addition, 

the ITC found that critical 

circumstances do not exist with regard 

to imports from Russia.4

Scope of the Orders 

The product covered by these orders 

is ferrosilicon from Russia. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

orders, see the appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On November 4, 2024, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

imports of ferrosilicon that are sold in 

the United States at less than fair value. 

Therefore, in accordance with sections 

735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce 

is issuing this AD order. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of 

ferrosilicon from Russia are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from 

Russia, entered or withdrawn from

warehouse for consumption, are subject 

to the assessment of antidumping 

duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of ferrosilicon from 

Russia. Antidumping duties will be 

assessed on unliquidated entries of 

ferrosilicon from Russia entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after June 28, 2024, 

the date of publication of the AD 

Preliminary Determination but will not 

include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination, as 

further described below.5

Critical Circumstances 

With respect to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of ferrosilicon from Russia, we 

will instruct CBP to lift the suspension 

of liquidation and to refund all cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties with respect to entries of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after March 30, 2024 

(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the 

publication of the AD Preliminary 

Determination), but before June 28, 

2024, the date of publication of the AD 

Preliminary Determination. 

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits—AD 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of ferrosilicon from Russia, effective on 

the date of publication of the ITC Final 

Determination in the Federal Register, 

and to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, antidumping duties on 

each entry of subject merchandise based 

on the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins indicated in the table 

below. These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. Commerce also intends 

to instruct CBP to require cash deposits 

equal to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins indicated in the table 

below. Accordingly, effective on the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the notice of the ITC’s final 

affirmative injury determination, CBP 

will require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated customs duties on this subject 

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the 

rates listed in the table below. 

Estimated Weighted-Average AD 

Margins 

The estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter or producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Russia-Wide Entity ............... 283.27 

Provisional Measures—AD 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six 

months. Commerce published the AD 

Preliminary Determination on June 28, 

2024. 

The provisional measures period, 

beginning on the date of publication of 

the AD Preliminary Determination, 

ended on October 25, 2024. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 733(d) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to antidumping duties, 

unliquidated entries of ferrosilicon from 

Russia entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

October 26, 2024, the first day 

provisional measures were no longer in 

effect, until and through the day 

preceding the date of publication of the 

ITC Final Determination. Suspension of 

liquidation and the collection of cash 

deposits will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC Final 

Determination in the Federal Register. 

Countervailing Duty Order 

As stated above, based on the abovereferenced affirmative final 

determination by the ITC that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by 

reason of subsidized imports of 

ferrosilicon from Russia, in accordance 

with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce is issuing this CVD order. 

Because the ITC determined that 

imports of ferrosilicon from Russia are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, are 

subject to the assessment of 

countervailing duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct 

CBP to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, countervailing duties on 

all relevant entries of ferrosilicon from 

Russia, which are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after June 28, 2024, the date of 

publication of the CVD Preliminary 

Determination, but will not include 

entries occurring after the expiration of 

the provisional measures period and 

before the publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination under section 

705(b) of the Act, as further described in 

the ‘‘Provisional Measures—CVD’’ 

section of this notice.6

Critical Circumstances 

With respect to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of ferrosilicon from Russia, we 

will instruct CBP to lift the suspension 

of liquidation and to refund all cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties with respect to entries of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after March 30, 2024 

(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of the 

publication of the CVD Preliminary 

Determination), but before June 28, 

2024, the date of publication of the CVD 

Preliminary Determination. 

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits—CVD 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to reinstitute the suspension of 

liquidation of ferrosilicon from Russia, 

effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determination in the Federal Register, 

and to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, countervailing duties on 

each entry of subject merchandise in an 

amount based on the net countervailable 

subsidy rates below. These instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Commerce also intends, pursuant to 

section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to instruct 

CBP to require cash deposits equal to 

the amounts as indicated below. 

Accordingly, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination in the Federal 

Register, CBP will require, at the same 

time as importers would normally 

deposit estimated customs duties on the 

subject merchandise, a cash deposit for

Provisional Measures—CVD 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

the suspension of liquidation pursuant 

to an affirmative preliminary 

determination may not remain in effect 

for more than four months. Commerce 

published the CVD Preliminary 

Determination on June 28, 2024.8 As 

such, the four-month period beginning 

on the date of publication of the CVD 

Preliminary Determination ended on 

October 25, 2024. 

In accordance with section 703(d) of 

the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to CVDs, unliquidated entries of 

ferrosilicon from Russia entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, on or after October 26, 

2024, the first day provisional measures 

were no longer in effect, until and 

through the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC Final 

Determination. Suspension of 

liquidation and the collection of cash 

deposits will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC Final 

Determination in the Federal Register. 

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry 

Service List 

On September 20, 2021, Commerce 

published the Final Rule in the Federal 

Register.9 On September 27, 2021, 

Commerce also published the 

Procedural Guidance in the Federal 

Register.10 The Final Rule and 

Procedural Guidance provide that 

Commerce will maintain an annual 

inquiry service list for each order or 

suspended investigation, and any 

interested party submitting a scope 

ruling application or request for 

circumvention inquiry shall serve a 

copy of the application or request on the 

persons on the annual inquiry service 

list for that order, as well as any 

companion order covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin. 

In accordance with the Procedural 

Guidance, for orders published in the 

Federal Register after November 4, 

2021, Commerce will create an annual 

inquiry service list segment in 

Commerce’s online e-filing and 

document management system, 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS), 

available at https://access.trade.gov, 

within five business days of publication 

of the order. Each annual inquiry 

service list will be saved in ACCESS, 

under each case number, and under a 

specific segment type called ‘‘AISLAnnual Inquiry Service List.’’ 11

Interested parties who wish to be 

added to the annual inquiry service list 

for an order must submit an entry of 

appearance to the annual inquiry 

service list segment for the order in 

ACCESS within 30 days after the date of 

publication of the order. For ease of 

administration, Commerce requests that 

law firms with more than one attorney 

representing interested parties in an 

order designate a lead attorney to be 

included on the annual inquiry service 

list. Commerce will finalize the annual 

inquiry service list within five business 

days thereafter. As mentioned in the 

Procedural Guidance, the new annual 

inquiry service list will be in place until 

the following year, when the 

Opportunity Notice for the anniversary 

month of the order is published. 

Commerce may update an annual 

inquiry service list at any time as 

needed based on interested parties’ 

amendments to their entries of 

appearance to remove or otherwise 

modify their list of members and 

representatives, or to update contact 

information. Any changes or 

announcements pertaining to these 

procedures will be posted to the 

ACCESS website. 

Special Instructions for Petitioners and 

Foreign Governments 

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated 

that, ‘‘after an initial request and 

placement on the annual inquiry service 

list, both petitioners and foreign 

governments will automatically be 

placed on the annual inquiry service list 

in the years that follow.’’ 12

Accordingly, as stated above, the 

petitioners and Government of Russia 

should submit their initial entries of 

appearance after publication of this 

notice in order to appear in the first 

annual inquiry service list for those 

orders for which they qualify as an 

interested party. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and the 

Government of Russia will not need to 

resubmit their entries of appearance 

each year to continue to be included on 

the annual inquiry service list. 

However, the petitioners and the 

Government of Russia are responsible 

for making amendments to their entries 

of appearance during the annual update 

to the annual inquiry service list in 

accordance with the procedures 

described above. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice constitutes the AD and 

CVD orders with respect to ferrosilicon 

from Russia, pursuant to sections 736(a) 

and 706(a) of the Act. Interested parties 

can find a list of AD and CVD orders 

currently in effect at https://

Refillable Stainless-Steel Kegs From 

Mexico and the People’s Republic of

Reviews and Revocation of Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 3, 2024, the 

U.S. Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) initiated the first sunset 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on refillable stainless-steel kegs 

(kegs) from Mexico and the AD and 

countervailing duty (CVD) orders on 

kegs from the People’s Republic of 

China (China). Because no domestic 

interested party responded to the sunset 

review notice of initiation by the 

applicable deadline, consistent with 

section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce 

is revoking the AD orders on kegs from 

China and Mexico and the CVD order on 

kegs from China. 

DATES: Applicable November 21, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 10, 2019, Commerce 

issued the AD order on kegs from 

Mexico.1 On December 16, 2019, 

Commerce issued the AD and CVD 

orders on kegs from China.2 On 

September 3, 2024, Commerce initiated 

the current sunset reviews of the China 

Orders and Mexico Order (collectively, 

Orders), pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Act).3

On September 24, 2024, Commerce 

staff spoke with counsel to the 

American Keg Company LLC (the 

petitioner) who informed Commerce 

that the petitioner does not intend to 

participate in these sunset reviews.4 As 

a result, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(1), Commerce 

determined that no domestic interested 

party intends to participate in these 

sunset reviews. On September 25, 2024, 

we notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission of these facts and that we 

intended to revoke the Orders within 90 

days of the initiation, consistent with 19 

CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders are kegs, vessels, or containers 

with bodies that are approximately 

cylindrical in shape, made from 

stainless steel (i.e., steel containing at 

least 10.5 percent chromium by weight 

and less than 1.2 percent carbon by 

weight, with or without other elements), 

and that are compatible with a ‘‘D 

Sankey’’ extractor (refillable stainless 

steel kegs) with a nominal liquid 

volume capacity of 10 liters or more, 

regardless of the type of finish, gauge, 

thickness, or grade of stainless steel, and 

whether or not covered by or encased in 

other materials. Refillable stainless-steel 

kegs may be imported assembled or 

unassembled, with or without all 

components (including spears, couplers 

or taps, necks, collars, and valves), and 

be filled or unfilled. 

‘‘Unassembled’’ or ‘‘unfinished’’ 

refillable stainless-steel kegs include 

drawn stainless-steel cylinders that have 

been welded to form the body of the keg 

and attached to an upper (top) chime 

and/or lower (bottom) chime. 

Unassembled refillable stainless-steel 

kegs may or may not be welded to a
