Final Results of Review

for the respondent for the POR, October 1, 2020, through September 30, 
2021:

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

                                                              (percent)

Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S........        0.00

Disclosure

    Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results, 
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum 
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the 
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently, 
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
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 the final results of this review. 
Because Habas' weighted-average dumping margin is zero percent, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.
    In accordance with Commerce's practice, for entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by Habas for which it did not know 
that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties for such unexamined entries 
at the all-others rate (i.e., 2.73 percent) if there is no company-
specific rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003); see 
also Amended Final Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the publication date 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 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 Habas will be zero; (2) for 
companies not participating in this review but which were part of a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit 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 underlying investigation, but the producer is, then the cash 
deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the most 
recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the 
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers and exporters will continue to be 2.73 percent, the all-
others rate established in the underlying investigation.\4\ These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Amended Final Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the 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

[[Page 14981]]

with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

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)(5).

    Dated: March 6, 2023.
