SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the 2022 administrative review \1\ of the
antidumping duty order on OBAs from Taiwan.\2\ We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\3\ No interested party
submitted comments. Accordingly, the final results of review remain
unchanged from the Preliminary Results and no decision memorandum
accompanies this notice. Commerce conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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),
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. We
intend to instruct CBP to apply the importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates we calculated for the Preliminary Results 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 those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\5\ If the importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, then Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Teh
Fong Min International Co., Ltd., for which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 6.19
percent) \6\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order, 77 FR at 27420.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results 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).
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 doubled antidumping 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 the 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/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 which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 20, 2024.
