SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 13, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results 
of the 2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
\1\ on carbazole violet pigment 23 (CVP-23) from India in the Federal 
Register and invited parties to comment.\2\ We received no comments 
from interested parties on the Preliminary Results, and we have made no 
changes to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, no decision memoranda 
accompany this Federal Register notice, and the Preliminary Results are 
hereby adopted as these final results. Commerce conducted this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled 
the deadline to issue the final results in this administrative review 
by 90 days.\3\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now 
April 11, 2025.

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole Violet Pigment 
23 from India, 69 FR 77988 (December 29, 2004) (Order).
    \2\ See Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 
74873 (September 13, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the Order is CVP-23, in any form. For a full 
description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Results PDM.

Rate for Non-Selected Companies

    The Act and Commerce's regulations do not directly address the 
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual companies not 
selected for 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 review 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 individually investigated, excluding any zero 
or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the 
basis of facts available{time} .''
    In this administrative review, we calculated weighted-average 
dumping margins for Meghmani Pigments/Meghmani LLP (Meghmani) \4\ and 
Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd. (Navpad) that are zero and we did not 
calculate any margins which are not zero, de minimis, or determined 
entirely on the basis of facts available. Thus, in accordance with the 
expected method, and consistent with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 
Federal Circuit's decision in Albemarle,\5\ we are applying to Gharda 
Chemicals Ltd., which was not selected for individual review in this 
review, a margin of zero percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Commerce previously collapsed Meghmani Pigments and Meghmani 
LLP (collectively, Meghmani) and treated the firms as a single 
entity. See Preliminary Results PDM at 3-6.
    \5\ See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d 1345, 1352 
(Fed. Cir. 2016) (Albemarle) (holding that Commerce may only use 
``other reasonable methods'' if it reasonably concludes that the 
expected method is ``not feasible'' or ``would not be reasonably 
reflective of potential dumping margins'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the period December 1, 2022, through November 30, 
2023.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

                  Producer and/or exporter                     dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)

Gharda Chemicals Ltd.......................................        0.00
Meghmani Pigments/Meghmani LLP.............................        0.00
Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd...................................        0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
of the final results of an administrative review 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 the final results 
in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, 
because we made no changes from the Preliminary Results, there are no 
new calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce 
shall determine, and

[[Page 5814]]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by 
this review. Because the respondents' weighted-average dumping margins 
or importer-specific assessment rates are zero in the final results of 
review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard 
to antidumping duties.\6\ The final results of this administrative 
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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 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).
    \7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, 
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which Meghmani 
and Navapad did not know that their merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the 
all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair value (LTFV) 
investigation (i.e., 27.48 percent) \8\ if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Order, 69 FR 77989.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these 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 in the Federal Register of these final results of 
administrative review 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)(C) of the Act: (1) 
the cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to 
the weighted-average dumping margin established in these final results 
of this administrative review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise 
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but 
covered in a prior completed 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 or another completed segment of 
this proceeding, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
company-specific rate established for the most recent completed segment 
for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for 
all other producers or exporters will continue to be 27.48 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.

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 and/or countervailing 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 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.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final 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). 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 violation subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: January 10, 2025.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
