SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of the 
2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on steel 
threaded rod from China in the Federal Register and invited interested 
parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from interested parties 
on the Preliminary Results and have made no changes to the Preliminary 
Results. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal 
Register notice. The Preliminary Results are hereby adopted in these 
final results. Commerce conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).

China-Wide Entity

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, because no party requested a 
review of the China-wide entity in this review, the China-wide entity 
is not under review and the China-wide entity's rate, i.e., 48.91 
percent, is not subject to change.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 35071.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, for the 
mandatory respondent:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                          Exporter                              dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)

Ningbo Dongxin High-Strength Nut Co., Ltd...................       35.10

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), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise covered this review. Because Ningbo 
Dongxin's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis, 
i.e., less than 0.50 percent, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 
entries at the importer-specific assessment rate for antidumping duties 
calculated based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated 
for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those 
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\5\ These final 
results of administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment 
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by these final 
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, 
where applicable.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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).
    \6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of 
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 in the Federal Register of this notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of steel threaded rod from 
China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
the publication date of these final results of review, as provided in 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the subject merchandise 
exported by the company listed above that has a separate rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this administrative review, i.e., 
35.10 percent; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and 
non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise not listed above that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate; (3) 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 that for the China-wide entity, i.e., 48.91 percent; \7\ and 
(4) 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 cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain 
in effect until further notice.

    \7\ See Order, 85 FR at 19930, adjusted for export subsidies as 
outlined in Alloy and Certain Carbon Steel Threaded Rod from the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR 18117 (March 27, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 this review period. 
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 an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the 
amount of the countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final 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. 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.

review in
