Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by 
interested parties in this review are discussed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public 
document and is made available to the public via Enforcement and 
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic 
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum can be found at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list of the topics included in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this 
notice.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on the comments received from interested parties regarding 
our Preliminary Results, and for the reasons explained in the Issues 
and Decision memorandum, we made no changes to the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results; however, we have changed 
the margin for these final results of review, as discussed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Rates for Non-Selected Respondents

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for 
individual 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 examination 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

[[Page 5795]]

individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, 
and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts 
available{time} .
    For these final results, we have calculated a weighted-average 
dumping margin for Region that is zero or de minimis, and we have not 
calculated any margins which are not zero, de minimis, or determined 
entirely on the basis of facts available. Accordingly, we have assigned 
to the companies not individually examined a margin of zero percent.

Final Results of the Administrative Review

    We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the period July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Estimated
                                                               weighted-
                                                                average
                      Producer/exporter                         dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Region International Co., Ltd. and Region System Sdn. Bhd...        0.00
Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd\7\............        0.00
Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd......................................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure of Calculations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Commerce continues to treat Inmax Sdn. Bhd. and Inmax 
Industries Sdn. Bhd. as a collapsed single entity for the final 
results of this review. See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 41814.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, Commerce discloses to the parties in a proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce made no 
adjustments to the margin calculation methodology used in the 
Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose for the 
final results of review.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review. Because we calculated a margin for Region which is zero or 
de minimis in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct 
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties. For the companies identified above that were not selected for 
individual examination, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at 
the rates established in these final results of review.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review 
produced by any of these companies for which it did not know its 
merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 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). The final results of this administrative 
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on 
entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of 
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of these final 
results for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 
rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to the company-
specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final 
results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or 
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of 
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent 
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been 
covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for 
the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to 
be 2.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 80 FR 34370 (June

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 review period. 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 return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 
the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221.

    Dated: January 26, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
