Analysis of Comments Received

    We addressed the issues raised by parties for these final results 
of review in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues 
that parties raised, to which we responded in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, is provided in the appendix to this notice.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested 
parties, we made certain changes to the Preliminary Results. For a 
discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Administrative Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period November 1, 2023, through October 31, 2024:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                                                         average dumping
                   Exporter/producer                          margin
                                                            (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companhia Brasileira de Alum[iacute]nio/CBA Itapissuma            13.65

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis 
performed in connection with the final results of this administrative 
review to interested parties within five days of any public 
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days 
of the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Commerce preliminarily determined that Companhia Brasileria 
de Alum[iacute]nio and CBA Itapissuma Ltda. are affiliated, within 
the meaning of sections 771(33)(E) and (G) of the Act, and should be 
treated as a single entity, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.401(f). 
See Preliminary Results, 91 FR at 24804. Commerce received no 
comments regarding this preliminary determination. Accordingly, 
Commerce continues to find that Companhia Brasileira de 
Alum[iacute]nio and CBA Itapissuma Ltda. are affiliated and 
continues to treat these companies as a single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall 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. For CBA, we calculated 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 those 
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 
the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to 
antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
produced by CBA for which it did not know its merchandise was destined 
for the United States, 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.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 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 will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) 
the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will be 
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of the 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 
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; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers or exporters will continue to be 13.93 percent, the all-
others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation of 
this proceeding.\7\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Order, 86 FR at 62791.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 POR. 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 (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO 
of their responsibility concerning the destruction or return 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 destruction or return 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 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).
