SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On July 7, 2021, Commerce published
the Preliminary Results and invited
interested parties to comment.

These
final results cover eight companies for
which an administrative review was
initiated and not rescinded. On August
17, 2021, Weldbend Corporation and
Boltex Manufacturing Co., L.P.
(collectively, the petitioners) and ULMA
Forja, S.Coop (ULMA) submitted their
case briefs.
2
On August 24, 2021, the
petitioners and ULMA submitted their
rebuttal briefs.
3
On October 27, 2021,
Commerce extended the deadline for
these final results, until December 30,
2021.
4
Commerce conducted this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).
Scope of the Order

The scope of the Order covers
finished carbon steel flanges from
Spain. A full description of the scope of
the Order is contained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this
review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum is in the
appendix to this notice. 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 https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed at
https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we made certain changes
from the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine
that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period
June 1, 2019, through May 31, 2020:
Exporter/manufacturer
Weighted-
average
dumping
margin
(percent)
ULMA Forja, S.Coop ............ 5.76
Rate Applicable to the Following Non-
Selected Companies
Aleaciones De Metales
Sinterizados S.A ............... 5.76
Central Y Almacenes ............ 5.76
Farina Group Spain .............. 5.76
Friedrich Geldbach Gmbh .... 5.76
Grupo Cunado ...................... 5.76
Transglory S.A ...................... 5.76
Tubacero, S.L ....................... 5.76
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
For the rate for non-selected
respondents in an administrative
review, generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy
investigation, for guidance. 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 any zero or de minimis
margins, and any margins determined
entirely {on the basis of facts
available}.’’ In this segment of the
proceeding, we calculated a margin for
ULMA that was not zero, de minimis, or
based on facts available. Accordingly,
we have applied the margin calculated
for ULMA to the non-individually
examined respondents.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed in connection
with these final results of review to
parties in this review within five days
after public announcement of the final
results or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

See Order, 82 FR at 27229.
Assessment Rates
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 ULMA,
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 ULMA 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.
7
For the companies
identified above that were not selected
for individual examination, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries at the
rates established in these final results of
review.
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 for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication
of this notice for all shipments of
flanges from Spain entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication 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 18.81
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value investigation
of this proceeding.
8
These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (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.
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: December 30, 2021.
