New CVD cash deposit rates for the producers and exporters subject to his review take effect June 13, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register. The new rates, which also will apply for importer assessment purposes, are as follows:

Review average rate. The review average CVD rate is applicable to 10 companies, which are listed in Appendix II of the notice.

Companies that didn't get a rate in this review will keep their most recently assigned cash deposit rate. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CVD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate applies.
