The product covered by this order is brass rod from India. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Countervailing Duty Order On February 1, 2024, in accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of brass rod from India. Therefore, in accordance with 705(c)(2) and 706 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of brass rod from India are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties. Id. Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all relevant entries of brass rod from India. Countervailing duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of brass rod from India which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 29, 2023, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, but will not be assessed on entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, as further described in the ``Provisional Measures'' section below. See Brass Rod from India: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 88 FR 67240 (September 29, 2023) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all relevant entries of brass rod from India, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the subsidy rates listed below. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate. See section 706(a)(3) of the Act. Subsidy rate Company (percent ad valorem) Rajhans Metals Private Limited 2.24 All Others 2.24 Provisional Measures As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce found the following company to the cross-owned with RMPL: Rajhans Allowys Private Limited (RAPL). However, effective March 11, 2016, RAPL was amalgamated with RMPL, and since then, ceased to be a separate entity. Section 703(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. Commerce published its Preliminary Determination on September 29, 2023. Therefore, the provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, ended on January 27, 2024. Pursuant to section 707(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates listed above will begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination. See Preliminary Determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of brass rod from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 27, 2024, the date on which the provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register. Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service List On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the Federal Register. On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register. The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin. See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 20, 2021) (Final Rule).
