SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 9, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results in 
this administrative review in the Federal Register.\1\ Although we 
provided interested parties with an opportunity to comment on the 
Preliminary Results, no interested party submitted comments. 
Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary 
Results, and thus, there is no decision memorandum accompanying this 
notice. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Final Results of the Review

    For these final results, we determine that the following estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period December 1, 2021, 
through November 30, 2022:

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to parties in the proceeding the 
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review 
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public 
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice 
of the final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b). However, because we made no changes from the Preliminary 
Results, there are no calculations to disclose.

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.

[[Page 77819]]

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), because Al Jazeera Steel Products Co. SAOG (Al Jazeera) 
reported the entered value for all of its U.S. sales, we calculated 
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio 
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the 
total entered value of those same sales.
    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Al Jazeera for which the 
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary 
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 in the Federal Register of these final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 
the cash deposit rate for Al Jazeera will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin established in these final results of this 
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not 
covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent 
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or 
the less-than-fair-value (LFTV) investigation, but the producer is, 
then the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established 
for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the subject 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and 
exporters will continue to be the all-others rate (i.e., 7.36 
percent).\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is being issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: September 19, 2024.
