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

    \5\ In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily 
determined that Reliance Industries Limited and its affiliate, Alok

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 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)(1), 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 the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin 
or importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final 
results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102-03 (February 14, 
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the 
respondent for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 
entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 13.50 percent) determined in the 
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation \7\ if there is no 
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Order, 85 FR at 1300.
    \8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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

[[Page 27714]]

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 for all 
shipments of the 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 the respondent 
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the 
final results of this administrative review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) 
for merchandise exported by a producer or exporter 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 of this proceeding in which the 
producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, or a previous segment, but the producer is, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment 
for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) 
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will 
continue to be 13.50 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate 
established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order, 85 FR at 1300.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to 
comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or 
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the 
countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a 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), 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 this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: April 12, 2024.
