Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section

through November 30, 2017, the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists:

summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\6\ Case and 
rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).
    \5\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
    \6\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.303.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to

[[Page 63622]]

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a time 
and date to be determined.\8\ Parties should confirm by telephone the 
date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled

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

    \8\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue the final results of this administrative review, 
including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written 
briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this 
notice, unless the deadline is extended.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), as Al Jazeera reported the 
entered value for its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is 
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 
importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 
We intend to instruct CBP to take into account the ``provisional 
measures deposit cap,'' in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
    The final results of this review shall be the basis for the 
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by 
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated 
duties, where applicable.
    In accordance with our ``automatic assessment'' practice, for 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Al Jazeera 
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.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of 
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following 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 Al Jazeera will 
be the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this 
review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 
rate published for the most recently-completed segment of this 
proceeding in which the company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding for the manufacturer of subject 
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers 
or exporters will continue to be 7.36 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the LTFV investigation.\12\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification To Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary 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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    Notification To Interested Parties
    The preliminary results of review are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: December 4, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
