Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks From the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-
2022

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to 
determine that the 38 companies subject to this administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from 
the People's Republic of China (China) are part of the China-wide 
entity because they did not demonstrate eligibility for separate rates. 
The period of review (POR) is September 1, 2021, through August 31, 
2022.

DATES: Applicable October 5, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nathan James, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 31, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of this 
administrative review.\1\ We invited parties to comment on the 
Preliminary Results. No parties submitted comments. Accordingly, the 
final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results and no 
decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. Commerce 
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR 34825 (May 31, 2023) 
(Preliminary Results).

Scope of the Order 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico and the 
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 57257 
(September 20, 2010) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The scope of the Order covers magnesia carbon bricks from China. 
For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the 
Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Administrative Review

    We received no comments on, and made no changes to, the Preliminary 
Results. We continue to find that the 38 companies subject to this 
review did not file either a no-shipment certification, a separate rate 
application, or a separate rate certification. Thus, Commerce continues 
to determine that these companies have not demonstrated their 
eligibility for separate rate status. In this administrative review, no 
party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce did not 
self-initiate a review of the China-wide entity. Because no review of 
the China-wide entity is being conducted, the China-wide entity rate is 
not subject to change as a result of this review. The rate previously 
established for the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent.\3\

Assessment Rates

    Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). For the 38 companies subject to this review, 
we will instruct CBP to apply the China-wide rate of 236.00 percent to 
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR. 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 cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for 
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters 
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, 
and which were not assigned the China-wide rate in this review, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that 
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the China-wide rate of 236.00 percent; and (3) for all 
non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received 
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to 
the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
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

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) 
and 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: September 27, 2023.
