Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye: 
Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-
2023

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is amending the 
final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) 
order on common alloy aluminum sheet (CAAS) from the Republic of 
T[uuml]rkiye (T[uuml]rkiye) to correct ministerial errors. Based on the 
amended final results, we find that the companies under review sold 
CAAS in the United States at less than normal value during the period 
of review (POR), April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023.

DATES: Applicable January 30, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Hoadley, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3148.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 14, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the final results of the 2022-2023 administrative review of the AD 
order on CAAS from T[uuml]rkiye.\1\ On December 4, 2024, Commerce 
received allegations of ministerial errors from Assan Aluminyum Sanayi 
ve Ticaret A.S., Kibar Americas, Inc., and Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. 
(collectively, Assan) and from Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S. 
(Teknik).\2\ We received no rebuttal comments. Commerce is amending the 
Final Results to correct the ministerial errors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from the Republic of 
T[uuml]rkiye: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 89965 (November 14, 2024) (Final Results), 
and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM).
    \2\ See Assan's Letter, ``Assan Group's Ministerial Errors 
Allegations in the Antidumping Duty Final Results,'' dated December 
4, 2024; and Teknik's Letter, ``Teknik's Ministerial Error 
Comments,'' dated December 4, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legal Framework

    Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition, 
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting 
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other 
unintentional error which the administering authority considers 
ministerial.'' \3\ With respect to final results of administrative 
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any 
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial 
error by amending the final results of review . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Error

    Commerce reviewed the record, and we agree that the errors alleged 
by Assan and Teknik constitute ministerial errors within the meaning of 
section

[[Page 8516]]

751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).\4\ Specifically, we find that 
we made inadvertent errors in Assan's calculations related to the use 
of the most up-to-date exchange rates and the calculation of insurance 
expenses, and inadvertent errors in Teknik's calculations related to 
freight revenue. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending 
the Final Results to reflect the correction of the ministerial errors, 
as described in the Ministerial Error Memorandum. Based on the 
corrections, Assan's final dumping margin changed from 2.38 percent to 
1.84 percent, and Teknik's final dumping margin changed from 2.72 
percent to 2.04 percent. As a result, we are also revising the rate 
assigned to the non-individually examined companies, utilizing the same 
methodology in the Final Results, from 2.55 percent to 1.94 percent. 
The amended estimated weighted-average dumping margins are listed in 
the ``Amended Final Results of Review,'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Analysis of Ministerial Error 
Allegation,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Ministerial Error 
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as 
well as Commerce's analysis, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum. The 
Ministerial Error Memorandum is on file electronically 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.

Amended Final Results of Review

    As a result of correcting the ministerial errors described above, 
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the period April 1, 2022, through March 31, 
2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                          Exporter                              dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.......................        1.84
Teknik Aluminyum Sanayi A.S.................................        2.04
Non-Selected Companies \5\..................................        1.94
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The non-examined companies subject to this review are ASAS 
Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Panda Aluminyum A.S., PMS Metal 
Profil Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., and TAC Metal Ticaret 
Anonim Sirketi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these amended final results of review to interested 
parties within five days after public announcement of the amended final 
results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the 
date of publication of the notice of amended final results in the 
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative 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).
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Assan's and Teknik's 
weighted-average dumping margins are not zero or de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem 
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. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.
    Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment 
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
any of the above-referenced respondents for which they did not know the 
merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the all-others rate established in the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of 4.85 percent ad valorem if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.
    For the non-examined companies subject to review, we will instruct 
CBP to liquidate all applicable entries of subject merchandise during 
the POR at the rate listed in the table above.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the company-specific cash deposit rate for 
Assan and Teknik will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this review for each respondent 
(except, if that rate is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be 
zero); (2) for 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 for the most 
recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which they were 
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or a 
prior segment of the proceeding but the producer is, then the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently 
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or 
exporters will continue to be 4.85 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the LTFV investigation. 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 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 countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as the final reminder to parties subject to an 
APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition 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 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

in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.224(e).
