Commerce selected two companies, Tung Mung Development Co Ltd. (Tung Mung) and Yieh Trading Corporation (Yieh Corporation) for individual examination. <SU>7</SU> <FTREF/> Two companies reported having no shipments during the POR, <E T="03">see</E> “Determination of No Shipments” section below. <SU>8</SU> <FTREF/> The remaining producers and/or exporters not selected for individual examination are listed in the “Final Results of the Review” section of this notice. <FTNT> <SU>7</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Memorandum, “Respondent Selection,” dated March 4, 2024. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Yieh United Steel Corporation's (YUSCO) Letter, “No Shipment Certification,” dated October 11, 2023 (YUSCO No Shipment Certification); s <E T="03">ee also</E> Tung Mung's Letters, “Aluminum Extrusions from China {sic},” dated April 1, 2024; “Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils (SSSSC) from Taiwan,” dated April 17, 2024. </FTNT> The domestic interested parties did not argue for any changes from the <E T="03">Preliminary Results.</E> Because Commerce received no comments requiring changes to the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum accompanies this <E T="04">Federal Register</E> notice. Accordingly, the final results are unchanged from the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> and we are adopting the <E T="03">Preliminary Results</E> as the final results of this review. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). <HD SOURCE="HD1">Scope of the Order</HD> The merchandise subject to the <E T="03">Order</E> is certain stainless steel sheet and strip in coils. For a complete description of the scope, <E T="03">see</E> the appendix to this notice. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Determination of No Shipments</HD> As noted in the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we received no-shipment claims from YUSCO and Tung Mung. In the <E T="03">Preliminary Results,</E> we preliminary determined that YUSCO and Tung Mung made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. We received no comments from interested parties with respect to this claim. Therefore, because the record indicates that these companies did not export subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, we continue to find that that they had no reviewable transactions during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced or exported by YUSCO and Tung Mung at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate. <SU>9</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>9</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g., Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,</E> 75 FR 26922, 26923 (May 13, 2010), unchanged in <E T="03">Magnesium Metal from the Russian Federation: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,</E> 75 FR 56989 (September 17, 2010). </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rate for Non-Selected Companies</HD> The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that are zero, <E T="03">de minimis</E> ( <E T="03">i.e.,</E> less than 0.5 percent), or determined entirely on the basis of facts available. For the final results, Commerce based the weighted-average dumping margin for Yieh Corporation, a mandatory respondent in this review, entirely on facts otherwise available with adverse inferences (AFA). Further, we found that the mandatory respondent's total AFA dumping margin of 21.10 percent is reasonably reflective of the non-selected companies' potential dumping margins during the POR. <SU>10</SU> <FTREF/> Therefore, we are assigning the margin of 21.10 percent to the four companies not individually examined. <FTNT> <SU>10</SU>   <E T="03">See Preliminary Results</E> PDM. </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Final Results of Review</HD> We assigned the following weighted-average dumping margins for the companies listed below for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023: <GPOTABLE COLS="2" OPTS="L2,tp0,i1" CDEF="s25,9"> <TTITLE> </TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Exporter or producer</CHED> <CHED H="1"> Weighted-average dumping margin (percent) </CHED> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Yieh Trading Corporation</ENT> <ENT>21.10</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="22">Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies:</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="03">Chia Far Industrial Factory Co., Ltd</ENT> <ENT>21.10</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="03">Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Company Ltd</ENT> <ENT>21.10</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="03">Tang Eng Iron Works Company, Ltd</ENT> <ENT>21.10</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="03">Yu Ting Industries Co., Ltd</ENT> <ENT>21.10</ENT> </ROW> </GPOTABLE> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Disclosure</HD> Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with the final results within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of the final results in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
