SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 4, 2020, we published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on flanges from India, for the period 

August 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020.1

Subsequently, Commerce received 

timely requests for an administrative 

review from the petitioners,2 Gupta, the 

Norma Group, Bebitz Flanges Works 

Private Limited (Bebitz), Jai Auto Pvt. 

Ltd. of India (Jai Auto), Munish Forge 

Private Limited, Balkrishna Steel Forge 

Pvt. Ltd., and Aditya Forge Ltd.3 On 

October 6, 2020, Commerce initiated an 

administrative review of the Order with 

respect to 41 companies.4 On November 

12, 2020, Commerce selected Gupta and 

the Norma Group 5 as the mandatory 

respondents for this review.6 On April 

27, 2021, Commerce extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this review until August 31, 2021.7 For

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is finished carbon steel flanges 

from India. The product is currently 

classified under subheadings 

7307.91.5010 and 7307.91.5050 of the 

Harmonized Tariff System of the United 

States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of merchandise 

subject to the scope is dispositive.9

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

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

Generally, Commerce looks to section 

735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides 

instructions for calculating the allothers rate in a market economy 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination 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}.’’ 

We preliminarily calculated a 0.77 

percent dumping margin for Gupta and 

a 4.38 percent dumping margin for the 

Norma Group, the mandatory 

respondents in this review, and we have 

assigned to the non-selected companies 

a rate of 2.25 percent, which is the 

weighted-average of Gupta’s and the 

Norma Group’s margins based on public 

data.10 For additional information, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and 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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ 

index.html. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as Appendix 

I to this notice. 

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 and 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. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period August 1, 

2019, through July 31, 2020:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs to Commerce no later than 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.12 Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in the case briefs, may be 

filed no later than seven days after the 

date for filing case briefs.13 Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties 

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs 

in this proceeding are encouraged to 

submit with each argument: (1) A 

statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities. 

All submissions to Commerce must be 

filed electronically using ACCESS, and 

must also be served on interested 

parties.14 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the date that the 

document is due. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS within 30 days of publication 

of this notice.15 Requests should

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 respective case and rebuttal 

briefs. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written briefs, not 

later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended.16

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.17

For any individually examined 

respondents whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis 

(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem duty assessment rates based on 

the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the examined sales to that 

importer, and we will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all

18For a full discussion of this clarification, see 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 

(May 6, 2003). 19See Order, 82 FR at 40138. 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by each respondent for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.18 Where either the 

individually-selected respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we 

intend to assign an assessment rate 

based on the methodology described in 

the ‘‘Rates for Non-Examined 

Companies’’ section. The final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by this 

review 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 of the 

notice of 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 

under review will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1) (i.e., less than 0.50 

percent), in which case the cash deposit 

rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise 

exported by manufacturers 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; (3) if 

the exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 8.91 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.19 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

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 duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
