All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are listed in an appendix to this notice and addressed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly

Commerce evaluated the comments in the case and rebuttal briefs and
record evidence and made no changes from the Preliminary Results. For a
discussion of the comments, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period January 1, 2022, through December
31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH................................... 19.96
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in
connection with the final results to parties in this proceeding within
five days of the date of public announcement, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes from the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
[[Page 67073]]
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review. For BGH Edelstahl
Siegen GmbH (BGH), the sole producer/exporter subject to this review,
whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis, we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates by
dividing the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to each importer by the value of the examined sales to
that importer pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the 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 BGH will be that
established in these final results; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the investigation of sales at less than fair
value (LTFV), but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
4.79 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

\5\ See Order, 86 FR at 7530.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties has
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties,
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
countervailing duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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 the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 9, 2024.
