Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

in the final results of review (except, if 

the rate is zero or de minimis, i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent, a zero cash deposit 

rate will be required for that company); 

(2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-Wide rate of 206 percent; 

and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the final 

results within five days of its 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). 

However, because the Department has 

not calculated a weighted-average 

dumping margin for either of the 

mandatory respondents, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Notification to Importers 

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 this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Department’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 administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the 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 violation subject to sanction. 

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 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated; November 1, 2017.

Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom 

(the UK) until no later than March 15, 

2018, and is extending the provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a

2017, respectively, the Department 

published its preliminary 

determinations in the CVD and LTFV 

investigations.2 On September 18, 2017,

the Department aligned the final

Postponement of Final LTFV 

Determinations and Aligned Final CVD 

Determinations 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the exporters or producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) requires that such 

postponement requests by exporters be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period of not more 

than six months, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act. 

Between September 14, 2017, and 

October 10, 2017, Ferriere Nord S.p.A. 

(Ferriere Nord); POSCO; Global Steel 

Wire SA (GSW), CELSA Atlantic SA 

(CELSA Atlantic) and Compania 

Espanola de Laminacion (CELSA 

Barcelona) (collectively, CELSA); Habas 

Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi 

A.S. (Habas); Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane 

ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas); and 

British Steel Limited (British Steel), 

mandatory respondents in these 

investigations, requested that the 

Department fully extend the deadline 

for the final LTFV determinations, and 

extend the application of the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period of not more than six 

months.4

On October 27, 2017, Gerdau 

Ameristeel US Inc., Nucor Corporation, 

Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., 

and Charter Steel (collectively, the 

Petitioners), requested that the 

Department grant the requests of the 

respondents in these investigations and 

fully extend the deadline for the final 

LTFV determinations.5

In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination was 

affirmative; (2) the request was made by 

the exporters and producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, the Department is postponing the 

final determinations until no later than 

135 days after the date of the 

publication of of the LTFV Preliminary 

Determinations, and extend the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period of not more than six 

months. Because the CVD investigations 

covering Italy and Turkey are aligned 

with the LTFV investigations as noted 

above, the Department will issue its 

final determinations in the CVD and 

LTFV investigations no later than March 

15, 2018. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(g).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Global Change Research Program 

(USGCRP) is mandated under the Global 

Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 to 

conduct a quadrennial National Climate 

Assessment (NCA) to evaluate scientific 

findings and uncertainties related to 

global change, analyze the effects of 

global change, and analyze the current 

and projected trends in global change, 

both human-induced and natural. 

The Fourth NCA fulfills this mandate 

by synthesizing and assessing the 

science and impacts of climate change 

across 15 sectors and 10 regions of the 

United States, and considers options to 

reduce present and future risk, in a 

policy-relevant, but not policyprescriptive manner. The Fourth NCA is 

a product of the USGCRP, and is
