SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 12, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of 
this administrative review and we invited interested parties to 
comment.\1\ On December 6, 2024, we extended the deadline for these 
final results by 60 days, until no later than February 10, 2025.\2\ On 
December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline to issue the final 
results in this administrative review by 90 days.\3\ A summary of the 
events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Results, 
as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these 
final results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\4\

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on comments received from interested parties regarding our 
Preliminary Results and our review of the record to address those 
comments, we made changes to the preliminary weighted-average dumping 
margin calculations for Oman Fasteners, as detailed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margin exists for the POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                                                         average dumping
                  Exporter or producer                        margin
                                                            (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oman Fasteners, LLC....................................            0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these 
final results within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    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 these final results of 
review.\7\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the 
total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total 
entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where 
the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis 
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in 
these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not 
know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a 
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United 
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 106429]]

    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 for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies 
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin that 
is established in the ``Final Results of Review''; (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed companies not subject to this review, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 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 original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment of the 
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be 
9.10 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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)(2) 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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
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

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

    Dated: December 19, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
