Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce made
certain changes to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin
calculation for NVR for the final results of review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum; see also Memorandum,
``Cost Calculations for NLMK Verona S.p.A. (NVR) for the Final
Results,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following
estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1,
2022, through April 30, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NLMK Verona S.p.A........................................... 16.98
Officine Tecnosider S.R.L................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to interested parties
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales. Because OTS' weighted-average dumping
margin or importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\8\ For NVR, where an
importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 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); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by NVR
or OTS 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 established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation (i.e., 6.08 percent) if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order; see also 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 will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register, of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the
final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters 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 in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 6.08 percent ad
valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\10\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only 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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of 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 subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 31, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
