6Based on the record information, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that Nagase and YGK are 

affiliated within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) 

of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 

should be treated as a single entity pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.401(f). See Preliminary Results. No party 

commented on our preliminary determination with 

respect to this issue, and we have received no new 

information regarding this issue. Therefore, we 

determine that Nagase and YGK are affiliated 

within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) of the Act. 

7 In these final 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 

(February 14, 2012). 8See Order.

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these final results to 

parties within five days after public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rate 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries.7 For any 

individually examined respondents 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 

percent), we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping 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). 

Upon issuance of the final results of this 

administrative review, if any importerspecific assessment rates calculated in 

the final results are above de minimis, 

Commerce will issue instructions 

directly to CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on appropriate entries. 

To determine whether the duty 

assessment rates covering the period 

were de minimis, in accordance with 

the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- 

(or customer-) specific ad valorem rates 

by aggregating the amount of dumping 

calculated for all U.S. sales to that 

importer or customer and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

sales to that importer (or customer). 

Where an importer (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem rate is greater than 

de minimis, and the respondent has 

reported reliable entered values, we will 

apply the assessment rate to the entered 

value of the importer’s/customer’s 

entries during the POR. 

Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly 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 upon 

publication of this notice for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication of these final results, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: 

(1) the cash deposit rate for respondents 

noted 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 

administrative review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation, but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will continue to be 53.66 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.8 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping 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 duties 

did occur and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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/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 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213(h) and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5).

Needs and Uses: Title II, Section 

203(o) of the United States-Colombia 

Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act (the ‘‘Act’’) [Public 

Law 112–42] implements the 

commercial availability provision 

provided for in Article 3.3 of the United 

States-Colombia Trade Promotion 

Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’). The 

Agreement entered into force on May 

15, 2012. Subject to the rules of origin 

in Annex 4.1 of the Agreement, and 

pursuant to the textile provisions of the 

Agreement, a fabric, yarn, or fiber 

produced in Colombia or the United 

States and traded between the two 

countries is entitled to duty-free tariff 

treatment. Annex 3–B of the Agreement 

also lists specific fabrics, yarns, and 

fibers that the two countries agreed are 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner from producers in 

Colombia or the United States. The 

fabrics listed are commercially 

unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers, 

which are also entitled to duty-free 

treatment despite not being produced in 

Colombia or the United States. 

The list of commercially unavailable 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be 

changed pursuant to the commercial 

availability provision in Chapter 3, 

Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the 

Agreement. Under this provision, 

interested entities from Colombia or the 

United States have the right to request 

that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be 

added to, or removed from, the list of 

commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers in Annex 3–B of the 

Agreement. 

Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of 

the Agreement requires that the 

President ‘‘promptly’’ publish 

procedures for parties to exercise the 

right to make these requests. Section 

203(o)(4) of the Act authorizes the 

President to establish procedures to 

modify the list of fabrics, yarns, or fibers 

not available in commercial quantities 

in a timely manner in either the United 

States or Colombia as set out in Annex 

3–B of the Agreement. The President 

delegated the responsibility for 

publishing the procedures and 

administering commercial availability 

requests to the Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(‘‘CITA’’), which issues procedures and 

acts on requests through the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See 

Proclamation No. 8818, 77 FR 29519, 

May 18, 2012). 

The intent of the Commercial 

Availability Procedures is to foster the 

use of U.S. and regional products by 

implementing procedures that allow 

products to be placed on or removed 

from a product list, on a timely basis, 

and in a manner that is consistent with 

normal business practice. The 

procedures are intended to facilitate the 

transmission of requests; allow the 

market to indicate the availability of the 

supply of products that are the subject 

of requests; make available promptly, to 

interested entities and the public, 

information regarding the requests for 

products and offers received for those 

products; ensure wide participation by 

interested entities and parties; allow for 

careful review and consideration of 

information provided to substantiate 

requests and responses; and provide 

timely public dissemination of 

information used by CITA in making 

commercial availability determinations. 

CITA must collect certain information 

about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical 

specifications and the production 

capabilities of Colombian and U.S. 

textile producers to determine whether 

certain fabrics, yarns, or fibers are 

available in commercial quantities in a 

timely manner in the United States or 

Colombia, subject to Section 203(o) of 

the Act. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: As needed. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title II, Section 

203(o) of the United States-Colombia 

Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act (Pub. L. 112–42).
