SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 6, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ We
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\
This review covers only one respondent, Toyo Kohan. No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final
results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).

\3\ See Diffusion-Annealed, Nickel-Plated Flat-Rolled Steel
Products From Japan: Antidumping Duty Order, 79 FR 30816 (May 29,
2014) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products
included in this order are flat-rolled, cold-reduced steel products,
regardless of chemistry; whether or not in coils; either plated or
coated with nickel or nickel-based alloys and subsequently annealed
(i.e., ``diffusion-annealed''); whether or not painted, varnished or
coated with plastics or other metallic or nonmetallic substances; and
less than or equal to 2.0 mm in nominal thickness. For purposes of this
order, ``nickel-based alloys'' include all nickel alloys with other
metals in which nickel accounts for at least 80 percent of the alloy by
volume.
Imports of merchandise included in the scope of this order are
classified primarily under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheadings 7212.50.0000 and 7210.90.6000, but may also
be classified under HTSUS subheadings 7210.70.6090, 7212.40.1000,
7212.40.5000, 7219.90.0020, 7219.90.0025, 7219.90.0060, 7219.90.0080,
7220.90.0010, 7220.90.0015, 7225.99.0090, or 7226.99.0180. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
Final Results of the Review

exists for the respondent for the POR, May 1, 2020, through April 30,

Disclosure and Public Comment
As noted above, Commerce received no comments on its Preliminary
Results. As a result, we have not modified our analysis, and will not
issue a decision memorandum to accompany this Federal Register notice.
Further, because we have not changed our calculations since the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results. We are
adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results.
[[Page 57456]]
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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. We will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the
importer's sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is either
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 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 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 for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of 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 companies listed above will be equal to each company's
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review (except if that rate is de minimis, in which
situation the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for merchandise
exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this review but
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the
producer has been covered in a prior complete segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate
established for the most recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 45.42 percent,\5\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

\5\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: September 14, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
