Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC.........................        3.47
Rich Well Steel Industries LLC..............................        4.90
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with the final results within five days of any 
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).

Assessment Rate

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject 
merchandise covered by this review. We calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the 
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If an importer-specific 
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce 
will instruct CBP to liquidate that importer's entries of subject 
merchandise without regard to antidumping duties.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC and Rich Well Steel Industries LLC 
for which they did not know the merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate companies 
involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for each company

[[Page 6849]]

listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this 
review, but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published 
for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which 
they were examined; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this 
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently-completed segment for the 
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.30 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\5\ 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 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 duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the 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 sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 1, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
