Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section

In reaching these preliminary results, Commerce relied on facts
otherwise available, with the application of adverse inferences, in

information, see ``Application of Facts Otherwise Available and Use of
Adverse Inferences'' in the accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.

Cash deposit rate
Producer/exporter Estimated dumping adjusted for subsidy

\11\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, we intend to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of our analysis of the issues raised by
the parties in their case briefs, with 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results of this administrative review,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.\13\ We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the
``provisional measures deposit cap,'' in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(d). The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\14\ 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 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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
[[Page 53725]]
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the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 company listed above will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final results of this review, except
if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within
the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit
rate will be zero; (2) for companies not participating in this review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash
deposit rate published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the LTFV
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 merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 17.39
percent, the all-others rate established in the Amended Final
Determination, adjusted for export subsidies.\15\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Amended Final Determination, 87 FR at 34241.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d).
Dated: August 25, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
