A complete summary of the events that occurred since publication of the *Preliminary Results,* as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these final results, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 8 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.* 8 *See* Memorandum, “Issues and Decisions Memorandum for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China; 2019-2020,” dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). Scope of the Order 9 9 *See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order,* 76 FR 30650 (May 26, 2011) ( *Order* ). The merchandise covered by the *Order* is aluminum extrusions, which are shapes and forms, produced by an extrusion process, made from aluminum alloys having metallic elements corresponding to the alloy series designations published by The Aluminum Association commencing with the numbers 1, 3, and 6 (or proprietary equivalents or other certifying body equivalents). 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 that parties raised and that we addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum follows as an appendix to this notice. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our *Preliminary Results,* we made no changes for these final results. Separate Rates In the *Preliminary Results,* we determined that none of the companies for which an administrative review was requested, and not withdrawn, was entitled to a separate rate. We therefore preliminarily determined that 85 companies listed in Appendix III of the *Preliminary Results* were not eligible for a separate rate in this administrative review. 10 For these final results of review, we have made no changes to our preliminary separate rate analysis 11 and continue to find that the 85 companies listed in Appendix II of this notice are not eligible for a separate rate in this administrative review. 10 *See Preliminary Results,* 86 FR 43171, and PDM at 15-17. 11 *Id.* China-Wide Entity We continue to determine for these final results that the 85 companies listed in Appendix II are part of the China-wide entity in this administrative review. 12 12 *See* Issues and Decision Memorandum. Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review. 13 Under this policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in the instant review, and because Commerce did not self-initiate such a review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's current rate ( *i.e.,* 86.01 percent) 14 is not subject to change. 13 *See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings,* 78 FR 65963, 65970 (November 4, 2013). 14 *See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018,* 84 FR 56164, 56165 (October 21, 2019). Final Determination of No Shipments In the *Preliminary Results,* Commerce determined that Anderson International and Sunvast Trade Shanghai did not have shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. 15 As we received no information to contradict our preliminary determination of no shipments with respect to these two companies, we continue to find that they made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Accordingly, we will issue appropriate instructions for these two companies that are consistent with our “automatic assessment” clarification. 16 15 *See Preliminary Results* PDM at 11. 16 *See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) ( *Assessment Notice* ); *see also* “Assessment” section, below. Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies Because no company established eligibility for an adjustment under section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies, for these final results, Commerce did not make an adjustment pursuant to section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies for separate-rate recipients. Furthermore, because the China-wide entity is not under review, we made no adjustment for countervailable export subsidies for the China-wide entity pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of the Act. Assessment Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce will 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. Consistent with its recent notice, 17 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). These final results of review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise under review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice in non-market economy cases, where we have determined that an exporter under review had no shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under the exporter's case number ( *i.e.,* at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate. 18 17 *See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue Liquidation Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings,* 86 FR 3995 (January 15, 2021). 18 *See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:

(1)For previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most-recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the exporter was reviewed;

(2)for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that established for the China-wide entity

(3)for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter (or, if unidentified, that of the China-wide entity); and

(4)for the China-wide entity, the cash deposit rate will be 86.01 percent. These 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. 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. Notification to Interested Parties 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: February 2, 2022. Lisa W.
