SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 12, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on aluminum 

foil from Oman.1 On November 2, 2023, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

Order for the POR.2 On December 29, 

2023, based on timely requests for 

review, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order.3

Oman Aluminium Rolling Company 

SPC (OARC) is the only company 

subject to this review and thus is the 

sole mandatory respondent in this 

administrative review.4 On July 5, 2024, 

we extended the deadline for issuing the 

preliminary results, in accordance with 

section of 751(a)(3) of the Tariff Act of 

1930 (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2).5 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.6 On November 27, 2024, 

Commerce further extended the 

deadline for issuing these preliminary 

results to December 6, 2024.7 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.8

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is aluminum foil from Oman. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Act. Export price is 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. NV is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an

13 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied 

the assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 

(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for

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

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. 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).13 If the 

respondent has not reported entered 

values, we will calculate a per-unit 

assessment rate for each importer by 

dividing the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales made 

to that importer by the total quantity 

associated with those sales. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or 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. 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by OARC 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., 3.89 percent) 14 if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company (or 

companies) involved in the transaction. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this 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. 

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 deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication in the 

Federal Register of final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

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

deposit rate for the company listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage 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 investigated or reviewed 

companies not covered in this review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific cash deposit 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 the less than 

fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recent segment for the 

manufacturer of the merchandise; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 3.89 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.15 These 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, 

including the results of our analysis of 

issues raised by the parties in the 

written comments, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 this review 

period. 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of review 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: December 6, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.
