Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are
no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall
assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise covered by 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 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
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts shown for the companies listed above for
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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. For all non-reviewed firms, we
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These
cash deposit instructions, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
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 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
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 29, 2024.
